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
dexron VI
depends on engine size i,ve got a 2.0 d.t.i and use comma xstream g30 (red)
vauhall gear oil gl4 NOT gl5
For the Astra G (Mk 4) models, the gearbox does not have a specific oil filler hole. The reversing light switch can however be unscrewed for this purpose, but as it is quite a small hole, and not in a very convenient position, it is helpful to use an oil can with a flexible spout. There is an oil level plug which must also be removed to ensure that the gearbox is not overfilled. This is located by the left hand drive shaft, and can be difficult to access. The operation should, of course, be carried out with the car on the level.
