Oil change, oil filter change
Engine oil changes are to be carried out
depending on time intervals or mileage
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 whene ver the engine oil is
changed - see next column.
Engine oil life monitor 3
The engine oil life monitor lets you know
when to change the oil. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage at which an oil
change will be indicated can vary
considerably.
For the sy ste m 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 cluster -
see page 25. Engine power may b e
decreased. Change oil immediately.
It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain
the correct level of a n appropriate q uality
oil in the engine.

containers should not be disposed of as
