10/40 or 5/40 will be fine for this Astra.
what oil do i need for my astra 1.6 petrol. 58 plate
Engine numbers can sometimes be hard to find. On an Astra, look on the transmission side under the oil filter housing on the cylinder block. You may need to use a rag, cleaner, or even a wore brush to remove any "gunk" that has accumulated on the plate.
The gearbox oil is separate from the engine oil on a 2002 1.4 Astra, and much thicker.
10w40 semi synthetic
vauxhall astra 2.0 tdi,what is engine oil capacity+what type of oil is best to use pls
For 1.6 liter Vauxhall Astra cars the recommended oil choice is 10w 30. For higher mileage engines synthetic blends are also a good choice to help keep the engine clean.
The oil sensor can be found on the left side of the engine. The sensor will be near the front of the engine.
Just like any other car. All you need is the special hex-sided bit to be able to remove the plug from the bottom of the oil sump. Also remove engine oil-cap and dip-stick to help oil drain. The operation should be done with the engine warm. In this way draining will be more efficient.
i use Castrol Semi synthetic oil, Which is good for the engine
Over heating engine or engine check light ?
Yes it can. If you look at the fuel pump you will see a medal plate that bolts to the engine block and the fuel pump sets against that plate. The plate and the fuel pump both have a gasket on them that stops oil from leaking out of the engine block. You also need to check the fuel pump, There is a small hole in the side of the pump that can leak oil out of it. If it is leaking you will need to replace the pump. Check the pump for oil leak while the engine is running.
Hi I dont really understand the 1951 plate but I have a Astra 1998 station wagon 2.0l that may have the same prob.There is a yellow light which looks like an engine with a z in the middle.This is between the oil and batt warning light.The car still runs fine but a bit worried when this comes on as I dont Know what it means.
