Eng ine oil
Engine oil is graded by qua lity and
viscosity. When choosing an eng ine oil, the
quality g ra de is more important than the
viscosity.
The new eng ine oil GM-Dexos 2 is of the
highest quality available at the moment. If
it is una vailable, engine oils of other listed
qualities have to be used.
Eng ine oil for Service sc hedule
Engine oil: top up
Oils from different m anufacturers and
different b ra nd s of oil can be mixed as long
as the grades (q ua lity and viscosity) are
the same.
Not all the engine oils ava ila ble on the
market are of a suitable quality. Alw ays
check that the req uired specification and
classification are giv en on the cans.
If engine oil of the req uired quality is not
available, a m aximum of 1 litre of ACEA
A3/B4 or A3/B3 grade may be used (only
once between eac h oil cha nge). The
viscosity should be of the correct rating.
It is forbidd en to use engine oil of
grades ACEA A1/B1 and A5/B 5. Und er
certain circum stances, these oils c an ca use
long-term dam age to the engine.
Engine oil add itives
The use of motor oil additives c an lead to
dam age and will inv alidate the guarantee.
Engine oil visc osity
Only use eng ine oils with viscosity
grades 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30 or 5W-40.
The SAE visc osity grading system indicates
the oil’s a bility to flow. Oil is more v iscous
when cold than when warm .
Multigrade oil has two num bers. The first,
followed by a W, indicates the viscosity at
low temperatures and the second indicates
the visc osity a t hig h temperatures.
