what oil do i need for my astra 1.6 petrol. 58 plate
10/40 or 5/40 will be fine for this Astra.
The gearbox oil is separate from the engine oil on a 2002 1.4 Astra, and much thicker.
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.
vauxhall astra 2.0 tdi,what is engine oil capacity+what type of oil is best to use pls
Your Holden/Opel Astra requires an ACEA A5 oil, check the bottle for that spec in a 5w30 weight oil. Synthetic oil can either be 0w30 or 5w-30.
Located in the oil pan
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.
10w/40
General Motors recommended 10w40 synth or semi when the car was built. They then chaged to 5w30. Either should be fine.
The oil filter on a 2008 Saturn Astra is located in front of the engine. The oil filter can be found on the underside of the exhaust manifold towards the passenger side of the vehicle.
Drain it out.
