Opel Corsa: Vehicle checks / Engine oil
Check the engine oil level manually
on a regular basis to prevent damage
to the engine. Ensure that the correct
specification of oil is used.
The maximum engine oil
consumption is 0.6 l per 1000 km.
Check with the vehicle on a level
surface. The engine must be at
operating temperature and switched
off for at least 5 min.

Different dipsticks are used
depending on engine variant.

Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean,
reinsert it fully, pull out and read the
engine oil level.
When the engine oil level has
dropped to the MIN mark, top up the
engine oil.
We recommend the use of the same
grade of engine oil that was used at
last change.

The engine oil level must not exceed
the MAX mark on the dipstick.
Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out. If the oil
exceeds the maximum level, do
not start the vehicle and contact a
workshop.
Opening

Pull the release lever and return it to
its original position.
Push the safety catch upwards and
open the bonnet.
Secure the bonnet support...
The factory filled coolant provides

Coolant level
Caution
Too low a coolant level can cause
engine damage...
Other information:
Use the adaptive cruise control
carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it
again.
Do not use the system on
slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle...
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
Park the vehicle on a level, firm
and non-skid surface. The front
wheels must be in the straightahead
position.
If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed...
