Hello all,

My corsa b 1.0 (2000) makes a annoying tapping noise just wondered if an oil change would at least improve it because at the min it sounds like a tank!

Its just done over 100k miles... i know thats a lot for a 1.0.

Should i use 10/40 or 15/40?

Mineral / Semi or / Full ?

Any particular brand?

And how much oil should i get? Also would i need a new oil filter?
