Just been informed by VX that the oil that goes in my engine is extra life and £10 a litre, what is this stuff and can it be bought cheaper.

It's 5w30 oil GM-LL-x-025
Providing the oil meets that specifcation then you can use any supplier
Ironically, the GM stuff is usually cheapest
5 litres from the Parts Department will cost you about £30, so best to buy that and supply it yourself at servicing
Not sure what engine is in your SRi but if it is a 3.0 V6 CDTI then you will need 2 bottles and for any other engines best buying two anyway
The spare you can then use for topups until next service
Thanks M8, its only the wii little 1.8 so will i need 10 ltrs.
Cheers

10 litres! I thought my 2.0T only used 6 litres?

Just had oil and filter changed in my 1.8, takes 4.5 ltrs. 5 ltrs cost me £33 from stealers
Yip, you will need two for the 2.0T
However, it would be prudent to purchase two as you can then use the second one for topups; cheaper than buying single litres until the next service
Most of the engines will only need one 5 litre pack
Z18XE
4.25 litres
Z19DT
4.3 litres
Z22SE Z32SE
4.75 litres
Z22YH
5.0 litres
You will then need two 5 litre packs for
Z20NET
6.0 litres
Y30DT
7.25 litres
