The right engine oil for Vectra (Opel Vectra B)

Here are two important criteria when buying the right motor oil. The oil should have:

• The required specification; it is rare that the label on the packaging does not correspond to reality, since oil producing companies carry out mutual control.
• The required oil viscosity. It depends on the prevailing external temperature and can be taken from the chart on the previous page.

Other factors such as price or origin say nothing about its applicability!

Motor oil additives

"The use of additives - no matter what kind - in lubricating oils is contrary to our operating instructions and can lead to disputes in warranty and business relations." This is Opel's opinion on additives in oils. Whether the additional cost of oil additives translates into a corresponding extension of engine service life remains debatable - especially in the case of high-performance oils.
