Opel Astra Twintop (2012 year). Manual - part 14

210

Service and maintenance

Fixed service interval

When service is due, InSP appears in

the service display for approx.

10 seconds when the ignition is

switched on. Have the next service

performed by a workshop within

one week or 500 km (whichever

occurs first).
Service display 3 94.

Flexible service interval

The service interval is based on

several parameters depending on

usage and is calculated using these

parameters.
If the remaining distance is less than

1500 km, InSP is displayed with

a remaining distance of 1000 km

when the ignition is switched on and

off. If less than 1000 km remain,

InSP is displayed for several

seconds. Have the next service

performed by a workshop within

one week or 500 km (whichever

occurs first).

Display of remaining distance:

1. Switch off ignition.
2. Briefly press the trip odometer

reset button. The odometer

reading is shown.

3. Press and hold the reset button for

about 2 seconds. InSP and the

remaining distance are displayed.

Service display 3 94.

Recommended fluids,

lubricants and parts

Recommended fluids and

lubricants

Only use products that have been

tested and approved. Damage

resulting from the use of non-

approved materials will not be

covered by the warranty.

9 Warning

Operating materials are

hazardous and could be

poisonous. Handle with care. Pay

attention to information given on

the containers.

Engine oil

Engine oil is identified by its quality

and its viscosity. Quality is more

important than viscosity when

selecting which engine oil to use. The

oil quality ensures e.g. engine

cleanliness, wear protection and oil

Service and maintenance

211

aging control, whereas viscosity

grade gives information on the oil's

thickness over a temperature range.
Dexos is the newest engine oil quality

that provides optimum protection for

gasoline and diesel engines. If it is

unavailable, engine oils of other listed

qualities have to be used.

Recommendations for gasoline

engines are also valid for

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG),

Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and

Ethanol (E85) fueled engines.
Select the appropriate engine oil

based on its quality and on the

minimum ambient temperature

3

 215.

Topping up engine oil

Engine oils of different manufacturers

and brands can be mixed as long as

they comply with the required engine

oil quality and viscosity.
Use of engine oil with only

ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is

prohibited, since it can cause long-

term engine damage under certain

operating conditions.

Select the appropriate engine oil

based on its quality and on the

minimum ambient temperature

3

 215.

Additional engine oil additives

The use of additional engine oil

additives could cause damage and

invalidate the warranty.

Engine oil viscosity grades

The SAE viscosity grade gives

information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two

figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first

figure, followed by a W, indicates the

low temperature viscosity and the

second figure the high temperature

viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade

depending on the minimum ambient

temperature 3 215.
All of the recommended viscosity

grades are suitable for high ambient

temperatures.

Coolant and antifreeze

Use only silicate-free long life coolant

(LLC) antifreeze.
The system is factory filled with

coolant designed for excellent

corrosion protection and frost

protection down to approx. -28 °C.

This concentration should be

maintained all year round. The use of

additional coolant additives that

intend to give additional corrosion

protection or seal against minor leaks

can cause function problems. Liability

for consequences resulting from the

use of additional coolant additives will

be rejected.

Brake and clutch fluid

Only use high-performance brake

fluid approved for the vehicle, consult

your workshop.
Over time, brake fluid absorbs

moisture which will reduce braking

effectiveness. The brake fluid should

therefore be replaced at the specified

interval.

212

Service and maintenance

Brake fluid should be stored in

a sealed container to avoid water

absorption.
Ensure brake fluid does not become

contaminated.

Vehicle identification

Vehicle Identification

Number

The Vehicle Identification Number is

stamped on the identification plate

and on the floor pan, under the floor

covering, visible under a cover.

The Vehicle Identification Number

may be embossed on the instrument

panel visible through the windscreen.

214

Technical data

Identification plate

The identification plate is located on

the front right door frame.

Information on identification plate:
1 = Manufacturer

2 = Type approval number

3 = Vehicle Identification Number

4 = Permissible gross vehicle

weight rating in kg

5 = Permissible gross train weight

in kg

6 = Maximum permissible front axle

load in kg

7 = Maximum permissible rear axle

load in kg

8 = Vehicle-specific or country-

specific data

The combined total of front and rear

axle loads must not exceed the

permissible gross vehicle weight. For

example, if the front axle is bearing its

maximum permissible load, the rear

axle can only bear a load that is equal

to the gross vehicle weight minus the

front axle load.
The technical data is determined in

accordance with European

Community standards. We reserve

the right to make modifications.

Specifications in the vehicle

documents always have priority over

those given in this manual.
