Precautions:
- All checks in the engine compartment (brake fluid or oil levels) are performed only after the ignition is turned off.
- Please note that the cooling system fan is activated by a thermal switch and, therefore, may turn on even when the ignition is off.
- It is prohibited to perform repairs or adjustments and maintenance on your own. This especially applies to the engine, chassis and safety system units.
The oil filler cap, coolant reservoir cap, windshield and headlight washer fluid reservoir cap and oil level indicator handle are yellow.
Engine oil
Only all-season Opel brand oil is poured into the engine.
It is also permissible to use HD oil of the appropriate viscosity (according to SAE) and quality (according to ACEA and API).
Oil should be selected using the ACEA and API classification.
It is also permissible to fill the engine with oil of those grades that, according to the manufacturer's warranty, can be used in Opel vehicles.
Engine oil level
The oil level is checked every 500 km (except for vehicles equipped with an oil level sensor), or before a long trip.
Vehicles equipped with an oil level sensor are equipped with a warning light.
To check the oil level, park the car on a level surface and stop the engine. After stopping the engine, wait at least 2 minutes.
To check the level, remove the dipstick, wipe it clean and reinsert it to the maximum depth. If the level is near the A mark, you need to add oil.
The oil level should not be higher than the B mark on the indicator.
The brand of oil added must match the brand of oil that was poured into the engine during the last change.
Stable oil consumption is observed only after several thousand kilometers.
Oil and oil filter change
As the oil is used, it loses its properties and must be replaced. Oil and filter replacement is carried out at intervals specified by the manufacturer.
Use Opel oil filters.
It is recommended to change the oil and filter at a car service center.
