    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

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

    10W40 Semi-Synthetic is fine and cheap.

    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
