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.
