I recently offered to change the oil on my brothers series 2 omega sport wagon as I knew it hadn’t been done for about 12 months or more.

Hey everyone I just have a quick question about an oil change I’m about to do on my ve omega. Is there much difference between 5w/30 oil and 10w/30 oil, my cars done 140,000kms, would the 5w/30 oil be to thin for the age of the motor or would it make no difference. The last oil change I used...

My brother has a series 2 VE Omega sportwagon, I’ve driven it a few times and thrashed it a couple of times, it drives differently to my VE Omega series 1, because his car I think has the 6 speed transmission and mine has the old 4 speed, when I thrashed his car it revved out pretty good, it had...
