Diesel Fuel Filter; Oil/Filter Change; Engine Air Flow Indicator 3 - Vauxhall VIVARO Owner's Manual

Oil change, oil filter change
Engine oil changes are to be carried out
depending on time intervals or mileage
intervals, since oil loses its lubrication
properties not only through engine
operation but also through ageing.
We recommend that you use genuine
Vauxhall oil filters.

Warning
Used engine oil filters and empty oil
containers should not be disposed of as
domestic refuse. We recommend that
you entrust oil and oil filter changes to a
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who is
familiar with legal requirements
regarding disposal of used oil and can
thus help to protect both the environment
and your health.

Diesel fuel filter

Drain fuel filter of residual water at every
engine oil change.
Place a container underneath the filter
housing. Loosen the knurled screws on the
filter cover and on the lower part of filter by
approx. one turn to drain off the water.
The filter is drained as soon as diesel
emerges from the knurled screw at the
bottom. Retighten the two screws.
Check fuel filter at shorter intervals if the
vehicle is subjected to extreme operating
conditions such as high humidity (primarily
in coastal areas), extremely high or low
outside temperatures and substantially
varying daytime and night-time
temperatures.
