oil and coolant for astra?

[garryguitar]

I have a 53 plate vauxhall astra 1.6 sxi 5 door hatchback.
Can anyone tell me what type of oil and antifreeze this takes. All I know is the antifreeze is orange coloured. Dont know about the oil.

anti freeze is not orange,its usually a bluish colour,look in your handbook,it will tell you what type of oil your car needs,but by the sound of you,it seems you havent a clue about cars,so take it to a garage to get these things done or you might end up putting these things in the wrong place and that wont do the engine any good at all.

the genuine vauxhall anti-freeze is a flourescent orange/pink colour. as norman says look at the handbook for oil specifications especially on vauxhall ecotec engines.
