Hi guys,
I have a 03 1.6 Vauxhall astra sohc 8v and its using oil. I am running 10w/40 and just went to Halfords and bought 15w/40 part syn like the guide says.
Will this thicker oil be ok as other people are suggesting keeping with the 10w/40. If it is burning oil through the valve stems or something will the heavier 15w/40 maybe prevent this?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards
Tom
