Omegas are like all modern cars they work better with regular servicing if you have the owners manual and service book follow that and you won't go far wrong a haynes book can be a great help if you can get one for that year of vehicle.

well said.

Actually Haynes and the service booklet do not mention breather cleaning at all and this is vital or you'll be changing the camcover seals again in 6 months.   On the 2.0 it also addresses stalling problems and you'll think it drives like a new car when done properly.
