- VE, 09 of 2008, Omega, Auto, 3.6 Litre, 6 Cylinder
Done a couple of searches on this but didn't find anything that fits my question.
My VE owners manual states the specification for the engine oil is:
SAE 5W/30 or 10W/30 API SL/SM ILSAC GF-3 or GF-4 oil.
To date I have used stuff that is either 5W/30 or 10W/30 than by price.
Over christmass I spent nearly 2 hours in a well known auto parts shop looking for an oil that meets the above specs. I've even spent an hour pouring over their xmas catalog looking for something that matches.
Some of their oils meet some of the specs but none meet all of it.
Does anyone know of an oil that meets this entire spec for the engine oil for the VE, V6 Omega. - 2008 build date.
Also, is it the case as I have been told that almost any 5W/30 or 10W/30 oil will do so long as its not for diesels?
thanks
