If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Put it in the Vauxhall once. Quite frightening, as it was like water.
Seemed to work ok, as in it didn't seize up or anything.
Made no difference otherwise.

A Jinmy is supposed to use 10w30, (5w30 in a VVT I believe), but I just run mine on 10w40 semi-synthetic, basically, whatever is on offer when I need it, I think it had magnatec last time.

That manual is for VIN numbers later than
JSAFJA43V00140001 etc.
The manuals for earlier models have the same chart, so they can use any of the oils, but there is a sentence that reads:
NOTE:
For temperature between –20C (–4F) and 30C (86F), it
is highly recommended to use SAE 10W – 30 oil.
(highly recommended is usually manufacturer speak for "will definitely explode if you use anything else"
)
