Havent had a chance to look at the manual but a quick google and corsa c threads seem to say the manual states 5w30 but then on the next page lists off a load of oils, 10w40, 15w40 etc
Anyone know for sure what Vauxhall reccomend? Engine has a timing chain aswell iirc? I know what vauxhall timing chains are like with oil so want to get it right

For the later ones I'd stick to 5w 30. I use 10W 40 one everything earlier.

The key thing with timing chains is to keep the oil detergent properties good - so new oil and filter every 5k and use a genuine Vx filter. Some aftermarket ones break up and stray bits of filter have caused plenty of blocked oil feeds to timing chains.
