Vauxhall Astra oil light flickering on and off

Leaks & Noises
My car manule states that my car is designed to take oil type 0w30 or 5w30. However, looking through my service history (only had car 2 weeks)it seems that on the last 2 services a 10w40 oil was uses. I have checked levels and there is plenty in the system, there is also no leak. Could this be the reason that the oil light occasionally comes on? And if so, will having 10w40 in my car damage it?

Someone may have put that oil in to try and fix oil light . Better to get correct oil . It may be a faulty oil switch / sender causing light to flicker on and off .
