OpenQuery using parameters

I need a little help with using parameter values in the where clause
with the OpenQuery statement.
What would the syntax for the following be if 10 was a variable? And
does the syntax change depending on the datasource? In my case I am
querying an Oracle database. But I can't get it work on an Oracle or
Access database.
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY (oradb,'SELECT * FROM dept
WHERE deptno = 10'
Many thanks to the answer for this.

Did you create a linked server to the Oracle database?
BOL has some examples how to create a linked server to Oracle adatabase.
SELECT * FROM OracleServer.Database.dbo.Table WHERE blblbl
Does the aboe example work for you?
For Access database you can use OPENDATASOURCE command
SELECT *
FROM OPENDATASOURCE(
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source="d:\northwind.mdb";
User ID=Admin;Password='
