A stabilization of the engine oil
consumption will not take place until the
vehicle has been driven several thousand
miles / kilometres. Only then can the actual
degree of oil consumption be established.
If oil consumption exceeds more than
0.6 litres every 600 miles (1000 km) after
this running-in period, consult a workshop.
Engine oil c hange, oil filt er change
Engine oil changes are to b e carried out
depending on time intervals or mileage /
kilometre intervals, since oil loses its
lubrication properties not only through
engine operation but also through ageing.
We recommend that you use genuine
Vauxhall oil filters.
Remember to reset the engine oil life
monitor 3 whenever the engine oil is
changed - see page 198.

environment and your health.
Engine oil is a danger to health; avoid
prolonged contact with skin and wash
exposed areas thoroughly.
