10w 40 is what it came out the factory with.
10w 30 will also be fine but it will be thinner than 10w 40 when it's hot.

i would put 10W/40 part synthetic in all vauxhall engines between 1985 and 2007. If its tired (over 80-90k), maybe start using the 15w/40.
I also change my oil every 3k...which helps
