Your helpful guide to Vauxhall Approved Oil
All engine oils may look & appear to be the same. This simple assumption couldn’t be further from the truth. Engine oils are a blend of base oils and a selection of carefully selected additives, which when combined, create a unique product that will perform to a required standard.
Why does your engine need lubricating?
• Reduces friction,
• Limits wear on moving parts in your engine (rods, pistons, etc.),
• Allows proper engine cooling,
• Keeps the engine clean,
• Helps to keep a seal between the cylinder bore and the piston,
• Protects against corrosion,
• Ensures engine start-up in all temperatures. New generation synthetic oils also allow you to:
• Reduce your CO2 emissions by reducing your fuel consumption.
• Optimise the operation of your engine's filtration systems like the catalytic converter and the particulate filter.
Maintenance advice
It is essential to maintain the right level of oil. It should be between the min. and max. markings on the dipstick.
Vauxhall recommends replacing the oil filter in your engine at regular intervals because oil changes are essential. Keeping your engine lubricated, and therefore well maintained, will extend its lifespan and maintain performance.
OIL FILTER
• Keeps the oil as clean as possible,
• Traps all dust, combustion residue and abrasive particles generated by the normal wear of engine parts,
• Helps to keep the oil cool.
Vauxhall recommends changing the oil filter with every oil change to ensure the longevity of your engine.
To ensure the optimum performance of your engine and to meet the requirements of the new technology developed by Vauxhall - Vauxhall recommends TotalEnergies, your Maintenance Handbook will tell you exactly which oil is best for your oil change, or you can check the website of our partner TotalEnergies. Sticking to this recommendation will improve the longevity of your vehicle.
