172 Opel Service, maintenanceEngine oil
Engine oil is identified by its grade and
viscosity. When choosing which engine oil
to use, grade is more important than
viscosity.
The new GM-Dexos 2 engine oil grade is
currently the highest grade. If it is not
available, the other engine oil grades that
are listed must be used.
Engine oil grade for the European
service plan
Engine oil grade for the International
service planTopping up engine oil
Oil from different manufacturers and of
different brands can be mixed providing
they meet the specified engine oil criteria
(grade and viscosity).
Not every engine oil available on the
market satisfies the quality requirements,
so always check whether the required
specifications and classifications are
written on the container.
If an engine oil of the required grade is not
available, a maximum of 1 litre of
ACEA A3/B4 or A3/B3 oil may be used (just
once between oil changes). The viscosity
must comply with the requirements.
Using category ACEA A1/B1 and A5/B5
engine oil is expressly forbidden because it
can cause long-term damage to the engine
under certain operating conditions.Engine oil additives
The use of engine oil additives can cause
damage and void the warranty.
Engine oil viscosity
Only use engine oils of viscosity 0W-30,
0W-40, 5W-30 or 5W-40.
The SAE viscosity classification defines the
fluidity of the oil: the oil is more viscous
when cold than when hot.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two numbers.
The first number followed by a W gives the
viscosity at low temperature and the
second number gives the viscosity at high
temperature. GM-Dexos 2 = Petrol and
diesel engines
GM-LL-A-025 = Petrol engines
GM-LL-B-025 = Diesel engines
GM-Dexos 2 = Petrol and
diesel engines
GM-LL-A-025 = Petrol engines
GM-LL-B-025 = Diesel engines
ACEA-A3 = Petrol engines
ACEA-B4 = Diesel engines
without diesel
particle filter (DPF)
ACEA-C3 = Diesel engines with
DPF
