 Vauxhall Astra H - 07 1.6 Oil light comes on on long runs - VxFan
The oil used in earlier Vauxhalls was 10w/40, which was one of your mechanics suggestions.

I've known others use this grade on Vauxhalls of similar age to your daughters when they start using oil / have done high mileages.

The 5w/30 is a long life oil, to give longer service intervals. It's also a fully synthetic oil, whereas the 10w/40 is semi synth.

Can you confirm which oil warning light is coming on? i.e. pressure, or low level?
