Engine oil change, oil filter change
Engine oil changes are to be carried out
depending on time intervals or kilometre/
mileage intervals, since oil loses its
lubrication properties not only through
engine operation but also through ageing.
We recommend that you use genuine Opel
oil filters.

Remember to reset the engine oil life
monitor 3 whenever the engine oil is
changed.
Engine oil life monitor 3
The engine oil life monitor lets you know
when to change the oil. Based on driving
conditions, the kilometre/mileage interval
at which an oil change will be indicated can
vary considerably.
For the system to work properly, it must be
reset every time the oil is changed. Consult
a workshop.
When the system has calculated that oil life
has been diminished, control indicator C
illuminates in the instrument panel -
see page 73. Engine oil needs changing
within approx. 1000 km (600 miles). Engine
power may be decreased.Diesel fuel filter
Drain diesel fuel filter of residual water at
every engine oil change.
Place a container underneath the filter
housing. Turn drain plug, located on the
left of the filter housing, anti-clockwise
using a suitable screwdriver, to drain off
the water.
The filter is drained as soon as diesel fuel
emerges from the port. Retighten the drain
plug by turning it clockwise.
With engine switched off, turn ignition key
to ON, wait approx. 5 seconds, and turn
key to LOCK to perform priming operation.
Perform this operation 3 times or more
while the engine is switched off, to avoid air
entering the fuel line.
9 Warning
Used engine oil filters and empty oil
containers should not be disposed of as
domestic refuse. We recommend that
you entrust oil and oil filter changes to a
workshop who is familiar with legal
requirements regarding disposal of used
oil and can thus help to protect both the
environment and your health.
Engine oil is a danger to health; avoid
prolonged contact with skin and wash
exposed areas thoroughly.

z Interior/Upholstery Cleaner Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to
environmental influences, e.g. continuous
changes in weather conditions, industrial
waste gases and dust or thawing salts, so
wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When
using automatic car washes, select a
program which includes waxing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen
and the like should be cleaned off
immediately, as they contain aggressive
constituents which can cause paint
damage.
If using a car wash, comply with the
pertinent instructions of the car wash
manufacturer. The windscreen wipers and
tailgate wipers must be switched off –
see pages 92, 93. Remove detachable rod
antenna by unscrewing it.
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.
If you wash your vehicle by hand, make
sure that the insides of the wings are also
thoroughly rinsed out. Do not use
household dishwashing liquid, to avoid
removing wax from the paintwork.
Clean edges and folds on opened doors
and flaps as well as the areas they cover.
Thoroughly rinse off and leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
separate leathers for paint and window
surfaces; remnants of wax on the windows
will impair vision.
Also wash aluminium trim parts, avoiding
the use of abrasive materials such as
automotive or chrome polish, steam or
caustic soap. Washing with water is
normally sufficient.
Observe national regulations.

Windscreen wiper blades
Wax, such as that used in car washes, can
cause streaks to form on the windscreen
when the wipers are used.
Smearing wiper blades can be cleaned with
a soft cloth and Opel Cleaning Solvent and
Antifreeze, and replaced if necessary –
see page 198. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.
Locks
The locks are lubricated with a high-grade
lock cylinder grease at the factory. Opel
Lock Cylinder Grease prevents the locks
from freezing up.
Only use de-icing agents in emergencies,
as they have a degreasing effect and will
impair the function of the locks. After using
a de-icing agent, have the locks re-greased
by a workshop. Engine compartment
Areas of the engine compartment that are
painted in the same colour as the vehicle
must be looked after
like any other painted
surface.
It is advisable to wash the engine
compartment before and after winter and
preserve it with wax. Cover alternator and
fluid reservoirs with plastic sheets before
washing the engine.
When washing the engine with a steam-jet
cleaner, do not direct the steam-jet at
components of the Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS), the air conditioning system or the
belt drive and its components.
Protective wax that has been applied is
also removed during the engine wash. For
this reason, have the engine, brake system
components in the engine compartment,
axle components with steering, body parts
and cavities thoroughly preserved with
protective wax after the wash.
An engine wash can be performed in the
spring in order to remove dirt that has
adhered to the engine compartment,
which may also have a high salt content.
Check protective wax layer and make good
if necessary. Underbody
Your vehicle has a factory-applied PVC
undercoating in the wheel arches
(including the longitudinal members) which
provides permanent protection and needs
no special maintenance. The surfaces of
the vehicle underbody not covered by PVC
are provided with a durable protective wax
coating in critical areas.
On vehicles which are washed frequently
in automatic car wash
es with underbody
washing facility, the protective wax
coating may be impaire d by dirt-dissolving
additives. Check the underbody after
washing and have it waxed if necessary.
Before the start of the cold weather season,
check the PVC coating and protective wax
coating and, if necessary, have them
restored to perfect condition.
Caution
– commercially available bitumen/
rubber materials can damage the PVC
coating. We recommend that you have
underbody work carried out by a
workshop, who knows the prescribed
materials and has experience in the use
thereof.
The underbody should be washed
following the end of the cold weather
season to remove any dirt adhering to the
underbody since this may also contain salt.
Check protective wax coating and, if
necessary, have it restored to perfect
condition.
