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

174 Opel Service, maintenanceGenuine Opel Parts and
Accessories We recommend that you use "Genuine
Opel Parts and Accessories" and
conversion parts approved expressly for
your vehicle type. These parts have
undergone special tests to establish their
reliability, safety and specific suitability for
Opel vehicles. Despite continuous market
monitoring, we cannot assess or guarantee
these attributes for other products, even if
they have been granted approval by the
relevant authorities or in some other form.
"Genuine Opel Parts and Accessories" and
conversion parts approved by Opel can be
obtained from your Opel Partner, who can
provide comprehensive advice on
permitted technical changes and ensure
correct installation.
Picture no: 17922s.tif
Performing work To avoid injury from moving parts and
cables conducting ignition voltage, only
carry out engine compartment checks
(e. g. checking brake fluid or engine oil
level) when the ignition is switched off.
Picture no: 11671s.tif
To aid identification, the caps used when
topping up engine oil, coolant and washer
fluid as well as the oil dipstick are coloured
yellow.
9 Warning
Only perform engine compartment
checks when the ignition is off.
The cooling fan may start operating
even if the ignition is off.
9 Warning
The ignition system 3 and Xenon
headlamps 3 use extremely high
voltage. Do not touch.

Engine oil On vehicles with engine oil level check 3,
the engine oil level is monitored
automatically 370. We recommend that
you check the engine oil level before
starting a long journey.
Picture no: 13212s.tif
Check with the vehicle on a level surface.
The engine must be at operating
temperature and switched off for at least
5minutes.
Picture no: 16495s.tif
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, insert it
to the stop on the handle, pull out and read
the engine oil level.
Push in the oil dipstick up to the stop on the
handle and give it half a turn.
Different dipsticks are used depending on
engine variant.
When the engine oil level has dropped to
the MIN mark, top up engine oil.

Opel Service, maintenance
Diesel fuel filter On the event of engine oil change, have
fuel filter checked for possible water
residue by a workshop.
Illumination of A indicates water in the
fuel filter 3.
Have fuel filter checked at shorter intervals
if the vehicle is subjected to extreme
operating conditions such as high humidity
(primarily in coastal areas), extremely high
or low outside temperatures and
substantially varying daytime and
night-time temperatures.
Coolant The coolant provides anti-freeze
protection down to approx. -28 C. .
Picture no: 11676s.tif
Antifreeze and corrosion protection
Have the concentration of the radiator
contents tested by a workshop before
winter starts. The amount of antifreeze
must provide protection down to approx.
-28 C. A lower antifreeze concentration
will reduce the amount of protection from
frost and corrosion. Add antifreeze if
necessary.
If coolant loss is topped up with water,
have concentration checked and add
antifreeze if necessary. Caution
Only use approved anti-freeze.
Coolant additives for additional
corrosion protection and sealing small
leaks can cause operation problems. No
liability is accepted for damage caused
by using coolant additives.
9 Warning
Antifreeze is a danger to health; it must
therefore be kept in the original
container and out of the reach of
children.

178 Opel Service, maintenance
Picture no: 13213s.tif
Coolant level
In a closed cooling system, there is hardly
any loss.
When the cooling system is cold, the level of
coolant should lie above the KALT/COLD
mark. Top up if the level is low. Top up with anti-freeze. If no anti-freeze is
available, fill with clean tap water or
distilled water. Have the anti-freeze
concentration checked.
Have the cause of coolant loss rectified by
a workshop.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Brakes A screeching noise indicates that the brake
lining is at its minimum thickness.
Continued driving is possible. Have the
brake lining replace as soon as possible.
Once new brake lining is fitted, do not
brake unnecessarily hard for the first
200 km.
9 Warning
Allow the engine to cool before opening
the cap. Carefully open the cap,
relieving the overpressure slowly.
Caution
Too low a coolant level can cause
engine damage.
