Vauxhall is a type of engine that is produced for use in automobiles. There are several different types of Vauxhall engines including the Astra and Meriva engines.
if its not a new car and done over 70-80k or its had a hard life use 15-40 mineral oil from vauxhall cost about 13 quid otherwise you can use 10-40 min. got to be careful going 10-40 or lower on higher mileage cars as you can soon destroy bottom end bearings
For the TS Astra with hydraulic-electric power steering, it takes a Pentosin CHF fluid. A couple of equivalents I have come across include Castrol Hydraulic System Mineral Oil Plus, and Penrite LDAS fluid.
Use exactly the weight that your owners manual recommends. All major brands of oil are excellent. I personally have used Pennzoil for over 50 years with not one internal engine problem.
There is no set replacement interval. It should be replaced when it becomes noisy. Failure to maintain the correct oil level, change the oil at recommended intervals or use the correct grade of oil can dramatically reduce the life of the chain.
It doesn't, its just a spec. I've asked vauxhall, and its just what they do, use letters that sound sporty
