Engine Options Ve Omega G8:
Likely includes the 3.6L Alloytec V6 (e.g., LY7 or LLT depending on specific year/market). Other V6 and V8 options were available across the VE range, and the manual's 'All Models' coverage implies these are also included.
Engine Power 3.6L V6:
Approximately 180-200 kW (180-205 kW, depending on specific engine variant and year).
Engine Torque 3.6L V6:
Approximately 330-340 Nm (330-340 Nm, depending on specific engine variant and year).
Fuel Injection Type:
Sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection (MPI) or Direct Injection (DI) for later LLT variants.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded Petrol (RON 91 or higher recommended).
ECU Type:
Bosch Motronic or similar electronic control units (ECUs).
Transmission Options Ve Omega:
Likely the 5-speed 5L40-E automatic transmission for the Omega trim. Later models could also have the 6-speed 6L50 automatic.
Manual Transmission Option:
While less common on the Omega, manual transmissions (like the T56) were available on other VE Commodore variants and are likely covered.
Automatic Transmission Features:
Includes electronic control, potentially with driver-selectable modes (e.g., 'Sport').
Infotainment System Features:
Base Omega models typically featured a Blaupunkt or similar CD/MP3 player with aux input. Higher trims and optional upgrades included touchscreens, Bluetooth, and enhanced audio systems.
Driver Assistance Features:
While basic by modern standards, features like cruise control were standard. Parking sensors and reversing cameras were available as options or on higher trims.
Connectivity Options:
Auxiliary input jacks were common. Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming became more prevalent in later model years or as options.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first (check manual for specific engine/oil type).
Spark Plug Replacement Interval:
Varies by spark plug type (e.g., iridium plugs typically around 100,000-160,000 km).
Engine Oil Specification:
GM-LL-A-025 or equivalent, SAE 5W-30 (synthetic) is commonly specified for Alloytec V6 engines.
Transmission Fluid Automatic:
Dexron VI or equivalent.
Coolant Specification:
GM-approved long-life coolant (e.g., Dex-Cool or equivalent orange coolant).
Common Ve Commodore Issues:
Water pump leaks (especially on early Alloytec V6s), lifter tick (can be oil-related or mechanical), steering rack issues, and occasional electronic module faults.
