Seem to remember there being a thread on here not long ago about the best oil grade for the 20xe,just rebuilt the whole engine and geting a bit of reek under throttle, when i dropped the oil out it was like water and i hadnt been run much longer than a couple of mins,so i'm puting it down to that. Any oil recommendations would be appreciated as it will be geting fill up with the right stuff this time,cheers.

Think 10-40 semi synthetic will be the best to use. Use it in the astra and have not had any problems!

Don't the car/oil manufacturers only reccomend the other grades of oils to reduce the emmissions?
