Hi,
I had a quick search I forum, from what I can see a standard 1.8 litre GD i30 takes 5w-30 oil?
Any recommended brands? Nulon etc?
I am mainly asking because I also own a VF commodore that takes the dexos approved 5w-30 oil and I was wondering if using the same oil will cause any longer-term wear effects on my i30?
My local holden dealer has informed me that they now sell 5L dexos approved 5w-30 oil for about $25 which is hard to find at that price at supercheap and is suppose to be better for the longer-term health of the engine.
Also, Holden has started replacing the OEM sump plug around $6 every service as it the same cost as replacing the OEM washer. Is the i30 just a washer replacement?
The car has done around 120k and is 2013 model.
Many Thanks
