Its either 10w40 or 5w30 semi synthetic, cant remember off top of my head. As said tho they should have a listing telling you what you want.

Pretty much the same iirc 
But yes, 10w40 semi-synthetic. Get GM stuff from Vauxhall. Not much more expensive than Halfords tbh.

Get the engine hot first, thats the best thing to help the old oil flow out. If your going to use a flush use Forte flush and nothing else.
