Hey Guys my mate gave me a free 5 litre bottle of ELF EXCELLIUM 10W50. Can i use this in my 3.8 litre vt commodore it is fully synthetic oil. I have heard it is really good but not sure about using it in the commodore? Restitution.aspx
Google is your friend. Off the ELF website, "Advanced fully synthetic engine oil with special protective additives for ultimate level of engine protection. Recommended for all petrol engines (multi-valve and turbo types, with or without catalytic converters) and all diesel engines, turbo-charged or naturally aspirated in cars and light vans. API SM/CF (API service symbol) ACEA A3/B3 API SM / CF ACEA A3 / B3. Meets or exceeds GM Commodore requirements so yes it is suitable for your 3.8l VT V6...Does he have any spare?
Haha unfortunately not He bought it for a series 5 rx7 and realised he couldn't use it he said you can have it for the commodore Ive heard it was expensive stuff so I wasn't gonna say no lol. thanks for your reply.
I had an RX4 a few years ago. had 32.000 miles on it and went like a scared cat. My only problem with it was that I used to like Redex upper cylinder fluid in my petrol so I put some in forgetting that the rotaries have oil injection for the seals on the rotors. Ha! My street disappeared in a cloud of white smoke when I started the motor. What do you do with 40 litres of petrol with Redex in it? I donated it to a friend with a normal six cylinder car.
Haha spewing. Unfortunately we are all human, we all make mistakes and sometimes retailers and/or friends benefit from our mistakes lol
