I'm pretty sure your car would have a f23 gearbox.
best bet for gear oil IMO would be your local vauxhall dealer.
I'm sure someone on here would now how much you need and how to drain and refill etc..:)

Try to get some royal purple gear max. Great stuff and takes alot of the 'cluckeyness' out of the f23
