    Default GM Oil query

    Does anyone know who manufactures the oil that GM use, or sell as their re-branded version ?

    On my last service at the dealer in June it says they have used Shell Helix Plus on the invoice, I have a litre of it for topping up

    So we're none the wiser

    That's what the Dealer in Ellesmere Port told me had gone into my last Astra. They gave me a litre too but the Vec has drunk the lot.
