aging control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.
The new engine oil quality
Dexos 2 TM is the newest oil quality
and combines gasoline and diesel
performance. If it is unavailable,
engine oils of other listed qualities
have to be used.
Engine oil quality for European
service schedules
Dexos 2 TM = All petrol and diesel
engines
Alternative qualities if Dexos 2
not available:
GM-LL-A-025 = Petrol engines
GM-LL-B-025 = Diesel engines
Engine oil quality for international
service schedules
= All petrol and diesel
Dexos 2 TM
engines
Alternative qualities if Dexos 2
not available:
GM-LL-A-025 = Petrol engines
GM-LL-B-025 = Diesel engines

Alternative qualities if GM-LL-A-025
or GM-LL-B-025 are not available:
ACEA-A3/B3 or
A3/B4
ACEA-A3/B4
ACEA-C3
Topping up engine oil
Engine oils of different manufacturers
and brands can be mixed as long as
they comply with the required engine
TM is
oil quality and viscosity.
If engine oil of the required quality is
not available, a maximum of 1 litre of
ACEA C3 grade may be used (only
once between each oil change). The
viscosity should be of one of the
below listed viscosity grades.
Use of engine oil with only ACEA A1/
B1 or only A5/B5 quality is explicitly

prohibited, since it can cause long-
term engine damage under certain
operating conditions.
Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil
additives could cause damage and

invalidate the warranty.
= Diesel engines
Engine oil viscosity grades
without Diesel
Use only engine oil viscosity grades
Particle Filter
SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40, 0W-30 or
(DPF)
0W-40.
= Diesel engines
The SAE viscosity grade gives
with DPF
information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two
figures. The first figure, followed by
a W, indicates the low temperature
viscosity and the second figure the
high temperature viscosity. Please
select the approriate viscosity grade
depending on your minimum ambient
temperature.
■ down to -25°C:
SAE 5W-30 or SAE 5W-40
■ below -25°C:
SAE 0W-30 or SAE 0W-40
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only silicate-free long life coolant
(LLC) antifreeze.
