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.
