Additional work is not always necessary at
each service, but can be carried out at the
same time as a regular service.

in the charge for a regular service and will
be invoiced separately. It is, however, more
c o s t - e f f e c t i v e t o h a v e t h i s w o r k d o n e a t t h e
same time as a scheduled service rather
than have it done separately.
Hard driving conditions o
Conditions are considered hard when one
or more of the following situations occurs
more frequently:
z cold start,
z stop and go,
z caravan/trailer towing,
z inclines or steep climbs,
z poor road conditions,
z sand and dust,
z extreme temperature fluctuations.
Police vehicles, taxis and driving school
vehicles are classified as being subjected to
hard driving conditions. With hard driving conditions it might be
necessary to carry out certain service work
more frequently than the scheduled
intervals.
We recommend seeking technical advice
with regard to servic
ing requirements for
your particular driving circumstances.
Recommended fluids and
lubricants Only use products which have been tested
and approved. Damage caused by using
operating materials which have not been
approved is not covere d by the guarantee.
Engine oil
Engine oil is graded by quality and
viscosity. When choosing an engine oil, the
quality grade is more important than the
viscosity. Engine oil for Service schedule Europe
Opel engine oil is GM-LL-A-025
and GM-LL-B-025 grade and therefore
suitable for both petrol and diesel engines.

Warning
Operating materials are dangerous and
must be handled carefully. If swallowed,
seek medical help immediately. Do not
breath in fumes and avoid contact with
the skin. Keep away from children.
These materials are forbidden to con-
taminate waste water, surface water,
groundwater or soil. Dispose of empty
containers correctly. Always remember
that operating materials are dangerous.

Opel Service, maintenance
scheduleEngine oil: top up
Oils from different manufacturers and
different brands of oil can be mixed as long
as the grades (quality and viscosity) are
the same.
Not all the engine oils available on the
market are of a suitable quality. Always
check that the required specification and
classification are given on the cans.
If engine oil of a suitable quality cannot be
obtained, use no more than 1 litre of
category ACEA A3/B4 or A3/B3 (once
between two oil changes). The viscosity
must be suitable for requirements.
It is forbidden to use engine oil of
grades ACEA A1/B1 and A5/B5. Under
certain circumstances, these oils can
cause long-term damage to the engine. Engine oil additives
The use of motor oil additives can lead to
damage and will invalidate the guarantee.
Engine oil viscosity
Only use engine oils with viscosity
grades 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30 or 5W-40.
The SAE viscosity grading system indicates
the oil’s flowability. Oil is more viscous
when cold than when warm.
Multigrade oil has two numbers. The first,
followed by a W, indicates the viscosity at
low temperatures and the second indicates
the viscosity at high temperatures.
ACEA-A3: Petrol engines
ACEA-B4: Diesel engines without
diesel particulate filter
ACEA-C3 Diesel engines with diesel particulate filter
