Note: The order of procedures performed on a regular basis is described below. Check under the vehicle regularly for signs of fluid leaks. Try not to disregard the facts of the appearance of fluid leaks under the car - such signs indicate the presence of problems that must be fixed immediately.
Attention: When checking the level of any working fluid, the car must be located strictly horizontally! Always use the parking brake when leaving the vehicle!
1. Various hydraulic fluids play the role of working fluids in lubrication, cooling, braking, clutch, heating and air conditioning, windshield washing, etc. Due to the fact that all fluids are subject to thinning and exhaustion over time, and also gradually become contaminated during the normal operation of systems, it is necessary to periodically replace them completely. Please refer to the list of fluids recommended for use in your vehicle before attempting any level adjustment or replacement (see specs). The fluids filled into the systems at the factory are indicated in the technical documentation of each vehicle.
Note: Opel provides a wide range of different engine types to fit the models covered in this manual. Depending on the configuration, the location of some control points and the layout of individual elements in the engine compartment may differ from those shown below. Filler caps for motor oil, coolant, washer fluid for windows and headlights, as well as the handle of the dipstick for measuring the level of motor oil for easy identification, are painted yellow.
