A Note On Safety; Checking And Topping Up Fluids; Engine Oil - Vauxhall Corsa Owner's Manual

A note on safety

To avoid injury from cables conducting
ignition voltage, only carry out engine
compartment checks (e.g. checking the
brake fluid level or engine oil level) when
the ignition is switched off.
The cooling fan is controlled by a
thermo-switch and can therefore start
unexpectedly even if the ignition is
switched off. Risk of injury.
Electronic ignition systems generate very
high voltages. Do not touch the ignition
system; high voltage can be fatal.
Never carry out any repairs or adjustment
and maintenance work on the vehicle
yourself. This especially applies to the
engine, chassis and safety parts. You may
unwittingly infringe the provisions of the
law and, by not performing the work
properly, endanger yourself and other
road users.

Checking and topping up fluids

To aid identification, the engine oil filler
cap, coolant expansion tank cap,
headlight 3 and windscreen wash bottle
cap and the handle of the oil dipstick are
coloured yellow.

Engine oil

The oils listed on page 213 are particularly
suitable for this engine.
These high-quality oils are suitable for
summer and winter operation.
Commercially available oils must only be
used in the grades and viscosities specified
on pages 213 to 217. This may reduce the
change interval. In case of doubt, contact
a workshop. We recommend a Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer.
In the case of brand oils the manufacturers
are responsible for ensuring that the oils
they supply are suitable for Vauxhall
vehicles.
