110 Driving and operationFuels, refuellingFuel consumption
Fuel consumption is determined under
specific driving conditions 3186.
Special equipment increases the weight of
the vehicle. As a result, they can increase
fuel consumption and reduce the specified
maximum speed.
There is increased friction between engine
and transmission parts during the first
1000 kilometres. This increases fuel
consumption. Fuel for petrol engines
Only use unleaded fuel that complies with
DIN EN 228.
Fuels with ethanol content greater than 5 %
may only be used if the vehicle has been
specifically developed and approved for
these fuels.
Use fuel with the recommended octane
rating (value in bold 3184). Use of fuel
with too low an octane rating can reduce
engine power and torque and slightly
increases fuel consumption. Fuel for diesel engines
Only use diesel fuel that complies with
DIN EN 590. The fuel must have low
sulphur content (max. 50 ppm).
Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils
or entirely or partially plant-based diesel
fuels, such as rape seed oil or bio diesel,
Aquazole and similar diesel-water
emulsions. Diesel fuels must not be diluted
with fuels for petrol engines.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuel are
temperature-dependent. When
temperatures are low, refuel with diesel fuel
with guaranteed winter properties.
Fuel for natural gas operation
Use natural gas with a methane content of
approx. 78-99 %. L-gas (low) has approx.
78-87 % and H-gas (high) has approx.
87-99 %. Biogas with the same methane
content can also be used if it has been
chemically prepared and desulphurised.
Liquid gas or LPG must not be used. Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane rating
could lead to uncontrolled combustion
and engine damage.

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

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.
