hey mate welcome, smart corsa.

why is it that you want to change the oil? i use gm 10w40 and my car runs fine. at the end of the day thats the oil the engine came out the factory with and its worked fine for years.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

i dont trust gm oil cause mobil 1 castrol valvoline are big brands but gm oil is not manufacturing from gm ( anterior manufacturing gm oils shell ) but now in turkey gm oil manufacturing by dew oil dew oil are not bad but quality not better than mobil1 castrol or valvoline

i want try a fully syntetic oil on my car. gm is good but not for this time :) next time maybe i use gm oil again.

anyone use mobil 1 or castrol ? please share a idea ?
