Lubrication
The engine and other lubricating systems are filled
with high- performance lubricants giving prolonged
life.
CAUTION: Always use a high quality oil of the
correct viscosity range in the engine. The use of
oil of the incorrect specification can lead to high
oil and fuel consumption and ultimately to
damaged components.
Oil to the correct specification contains additives
which disperse the corrosive acids formed by
combustion and prevent the formation of sludge
which can block the oil ways. Additional oil additives
should not be used.
Always adhere to the recommended servicing
intervals.
Engine oil
Engine oil viscosity / temperature ranges are
indicated in the following table:
a0W/30; 5W/30
b0W/40, 50, 60; 5W/40, 50, 60
c10W/30
d10W/40, 50, 60
Engine oil – Td4 engine
Use 0W/30 or 5W/40, 50, 10W/30, 40, 60 oil meeting
ACEA A3/B3 specifications, and having a viscosity
band recommended for the temperature range of
your locality. Where oils to these European
specifications are not available, well known brands of
oils meeting API SH quality should be used.Engine oil – K1.8 engine
Use a 10W/40 oil meeting specification ACEA A2 or
A3.
Engine oil – KV6 engine – Non NAS models
Use a 10W/40 oil meeting specification ACEA A2 or
A3.
Engine oil – KV6 engine - NAS models
Use a 5W/40 fully synthetic oil meeting specification
ACEA A3. Where oils to these European
specifications are not available, well known brands of
oils meeting API SH quality should be used.
Gearbox oil
Use of gearbox oils other than those specified may
result in serious damage to the gearbox.
Manual Gearbox – PG1 and Getrag
Use OPEL B 0400063 for refill or topping-up.
Automatic Gearbox – JATCO
Use Texaco N402 fluid for refill or topping-up.
Intermediate Reduction Drive
Texaco S5 75W90; Synthetic oil or equivalent,
meeting: API GL5
Rear Differential
Multigear 80W/90 ETL; Specification: API GL5
Gear linkage - Manual
Use grease containing 3% Molybdenum Disulphide.
General Greasing
Use Multipurpose Lithium Base Grease NLGI
consistency No. 2.
Bonnet latch
Lubricate cable and latch with oil.

9.Connect hoses LRT-57-002 to LRT-57-001
and tighten unions.
10.Ensure steering system and test equipment is
free from leaks.
11.Maintain maximum fluid level during test.
12.With the test valve open, start the engine.
13.Pressure at idle should be between 5 and 7
bar.
14.With the engine at idle, slowly turn the steering
wheel and hold on full lock.
15.Repeat procedure for other side.
16.Test pressure should rise significantly as
steering wheel is rotated and continue to rise as
full lock is approached. For full lock pressures,
refer to general data section.
+ GENERAL DATA, Steering.
17.With the engine at idle, release steering wheel.
For idle pressure, refer to general data section.
+ GENERAL DATA, Steering.
18.Pressures outside the above tolerance
indicates a fault.19.To determine if fault is in steering pump or
steering rack, close the test valve for a
maximum of 5 seconds.
CAUTION: Pump damage will occur if test
valve is closed for longer periods.
20.If gauge does not register correct reading,
suspect faulty pump.
21.If PAS pump pressure is correct and steering is
heavy at idle and becomes light as engine RPM
is increased, suspect pump flow rate.
22.If maximum pump pressure is correct, suspect
steering rack.
23.On completion stop engine and remove test
equipment.
24.Clean PAS pump and pipe union.
25.Fit new 'O' ring to high pressure pipe, align to
PAS pump and tighten union to 25 Nm (18
lbf.ft).
26.Fit bolt securing high pressure pipe clip and
tighten to 8 Nm (6 lbf.ft).
27.Check and top-up PAS fluid level.
