What oil do vy drivers tend to use

[redlion05]

Hello everyone,

Just curious as to what they believe is the best type of oil to use for a VY Calais?

Cheers

Whatever it says in your handbook. Also if you use the search function you'll find heaps of oil threads.

Use the grade and type of oil GM specifies in the owner's handbook.

I've been using Castrol Magnatec 10W-40 and I have no problem with it, engine is quiet, good fuel economy. It comes on special at Supercheap all the time just buy a couple of 5L containers when it's on sale.

Hand book says 10W-30, which is what I use. Nulon has a 6 litre bottle and at $50 is good value. Been using it in the Ecotec since 11,000km and now has 120,000km and car runs just like it did at 11k!!

To me, I use what I always use and don't change from it. And oil filter every time I change too. I do mine at 7,500km intervals.

Don't use nulon's, i used there's cause it came in a 6ltr bottle and my engine rattled its head off, this was after i'd always used castrol magnatec, switched back to castrol magnatec and all good, only use magnatec in every car i work on, use it in the ls1 and have used castrol edge 5-30 in the ls1 currently using the magnatec and as i said not as loud now.
