What is the best oil type for a Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0 CDTI diesel engine?

I recently purchased a Vauxhall Vivaro and need to know the best type of oil to use for its 2.0 CDTI diesel engine. I've heard mixed opinions and want to make sure I am using the correct oil for optimal performance and longevity. Can you provide any insights on the best oil type for this engine?

The recommended oil type for a Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0 CDTI diesel engine is 5W-30 fully synthetic. This oil is designed to provide optimal performance and protection for your engine. It is important to use the correct oil type to avoid any potential damage to your engine.

I have been using 0W-40 fully synthetic oil in my Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0 CDTI diesel engine for years and have not experienced any issues. It is a thicker oil which may provide better protection for your engine, especially during colder temperatures. However, be sure to check your owner's manual for the recommended oil type for your specific model.

I have heard some people using 10W-40 semi-synthetic oil in their Vauxhall Vivaro 2.0 CDTI diesel engines with good results. It is slightly cheaper than fully synthetic oil but still provides decent protection for your engine. Ultimately, it is up to your preference and budget.
