11-6 Service and maintenance
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality
and also its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use.
Engine oil quality
Opel engine oil meets classifications
GM-LL-A-025 and GM-LL-B-025 and
is therefore suitable for both petrol
and diesel engines.
Topping up engine oil
Oils of different manufacturers and
brands can be mixed as long as you
comply with the specified engine oil
criteria (quality and viscosity).Not every engine oil available on the
market meets the quality
requirements, always check the
required specification and rating is
marked on the container.
If engine oil of the required quality is
not available, a maximum of 1 litre of
ACEA A3/B4 or A3/B3 grade may be
used (only once between each oil
change). The viscosity should be of
the correct rating.
Use of ACEA A1/B1 and A5/B5
engine oil is expressly forbidden,
since they can cause long-term
engine damage under certain
operating conditions.
Engine oil additives
The use of engine oil additives could
cause damage and invalidate the
warranty.
Engine oil viscosity
Diesel engines:
SAE 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30 or 5W-40
Petrol engines:
SAE 5W-30The SAE viscosity rating defines the
ability of an oil to flow. When cold, oil
is more viscous than when hot.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two
figures. The first figure, followed by a
W, indicates low temperature
viscosity and the second figure the
high temperature viscosity.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use antifreeze of recommended
specification. GM-LL-A-025: Petrol engines
GM-LL-B-025: Diesel engines

Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN)
The technical data is determined in
accordance with European
Community standards. We reserve
the right to make modifications.
Specifications in the vehicle
documents always have priority over
those given in this manual.
The Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) is on the vehicle identification
plate, located on the driver’s door
pillar, visible with the door open.

12-2Technical data
For example, if the front axle load is
being fully utilized, the rear axle can
only bear a load that is equal to the
Gross Vehicle Weight minus the front
axle load.
The visible VIN may also be stamped
on a plate and affixed to the
instrument panel on the driver’s side,
visible through the windscreen.
Depending on version, the VIN may
be affixed to the cowl panel in the
engine compartment above the
windscreen washer fluid reservoir,
visible with the bonnet open.Engine number
Engine identifier code and engine
number: stamped on the engine
cylinder block.
