Hi all..

Have a Corsa F 1.2 Griffin turbo and for a while now it's just eating oil... I've done 62k miles.. in the last 11k miles I've had to top up 17 litres of 0w20 oil....

Came back from a round trip for weekend break 300 miles... got back noticed oil had gone into engine coolant bottle and over spilled into engine... no warning light, no engine lights... checked dipstick... zero oil...

Does anyone know of the main engine oil feeds the oil cooler as I'm fighting vauxhall as this is just outside warranty.. and I've been complaining for a year now regarding this oil burn...

They want to charge me including timing belt £1500 ...

I know when I got the car the oil it came with didn't burn... so really confused by Vauxhall choice of oil...

No outside of warranty, would it be better to go back to original oil car came with or stick to current one...
