C20XE Service

Ok going to service the corsa at the weekend and was just wondering if anyone can help with the following info as I can't find it anywhere.

1. What type of oil to use i.e 10w40 and also fully or semi synthetic?
2. How many litres of oil does it need?
3. What size is the sump plug nut?

Thanks

1. 10-40 is fine I have also used 15-50 with no problems fully synt
2. 4.4L then start checking the stick but a 5ltr can is plenty
3. 19mm

if u have a local apd benchmark or unipart just go in and ask for a oil and filter for a redtop i normally say calibra my last oil and filter was £12 ... so muuch better than halfords or motorworld

Don't use engine flush.....................

10W40 Semi-Synthetic is fine and cheap.

Why not use an engine flush mate?

It gets rid of the build up, which on a older engine may not help.
Get a GM filter, it's only like £2.50 from a dealer
