View Full Version : Z20let Engine Oil...
Changed my engine oil a few weeks back,every body seems to be going 4 5w/40 ,or 10w/40, ive put mobil 1, 0w/40 in mine,been told of astra sri.co.uk site that this engine oil is recommended 4 this engine, various opinions ,just wondered if any body else has got 0w oil in there z20let, car only has 22000 miles on clock,and seems great with this oil,bottom limit 4 oil in manual is 0w/30 so must be okay.any help would be appreciated:confused: :confused:
ive got that in mine and i ve got no complaints but what temp does you settle at when warm
Engine temp settles just over 80 on engine temp,runs smooth as a nut.completely standard 4 now,except 4 bailey dump valve,courtaney f/mounted intercooler,and courtaney panel filter with derestricted airbox.

i did oil change and flush yesterday. put in 5w/40 and sounds sweet as a nut,was a bit tappety b4,but no longer.
i just wish delphi(vaux oil) would broaden their range,saves me buying non vaux oil and paying 30 squid for 5l
I just started using 5W30 semi-synth (Silkolene XTR) in my DTi too, runs a lot happier than on the 10W40 semi-synth, though there is a bit more oil consumption that I'm used to (losing about 200ml in a 1000 miles).

reason i didnt use 5w/30 as a bit thin, even though i get trade club and saves me a few bob using vaux(delphi)oil.espec buy 4 get 1 free.

I've used Mobil 1 in mine for the last 12 months with no problems.
