not really a bargain when you can buy magnatec or whatever £10 for 5iltres, and dont have to pay delivery on it

Gone now.
£10 for 5L of Magnatec? It's about £10 for 1L of that at the local BP Garage

no, but you can use that, its just a bit thicker
may find your engine a little tappy upon first starting it?

pretty much all vauxhalls (all post '06 - and thcker oil is probs better for pre-1985ish engines) run 10w/40. 
you can put 15w/40 in if the engine is high milage or a little noisy, but the 10w/40 part synth is the one to go for...
just for people intending to ask...
