Pour new oil into an off-road engine Opel Antara. It is quite possible at home. Owners this car well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of "Antara", but at the same time, they still often ask questions regarding self-service. So, in addition to the parameters of the choice of oil and best manufacturersMany are concerned about the question of the volume of poured oil.
Replacement time consumables and oil volume - interrelated performance features. According to official data, the engine oil in the popular SUV is replaced after 10 thousand kilometers. However, in difficult conditions of operation, such a regulation can be considered conditional, because the specific climate has a negative impact on the beneficial properties of oil, and it becomes more faster. In this regard, a more frequent replacement will be required - for example, after 7 thousand kilometers. Let's call several factors, due to which the oil will come into disrepair before the deadline:
Permanent operation on off-road, heavy loads
- Non-compliance with traffic rules
- Regular ride by high speeds, sharp maneuvers
- Changeable climate permanent drops Temperature
- Dusty roads, broken asphalt, etc.
Any of the above factors strongly affects not only the reliability of the engine, but also vehicle. Any SUV is subjected to high loads, and therefore frequent replacement Oil can not be avoided. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to check the volume and state of the consumable material.
Check volume and status
I pull out the measuring probe and estimate the level and condition of the substance. So, if the liquid is still transparent, then with an insufficient level, it simply agrees a little fresh oil, and proceed to further operation. However, one butter topping may not be enough if the following features are found:
- The oil contains a metal chip, precipitate in the form of mud deposits
- Oil makes smell burner
- Oil painted in a dark brown
These features indicate traces of mechanical wear of parts. In such a situation, you will have to merge the old oil, rinse the engine, and only then pour new oil.
Oil volume
Liquid volume for motor gamma Opel Antara depends on the working volume of the power plant. Opel Antara engines line includes gasoline engines 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 and 3.0 liters. They consume 6.2, 5.6, 4.7 and 7.4 liters of new oil, respectively.
The required amount of oil at home can be entered when partial replacement Oil. For better results It is better to perform such a procedure several times as long as the transparent liquid will not go out of the engine. This will mean that the new oil changed the old, the engine is completely cleaned, and now you can pour a new liquid in the specified volume. Thus, it can be saved on an expensive procedure.
Choose oil for Opel Antara
Opel advises to pour oil to the engine of SUV with an extent of viscosity 5W-30. This is the most optimal characteristicwhich must be followed when buying the original, as well as an analog oil. So, in the latter case, you can pay attention to the well-known Russian brands LUKOIL, ROSNEFT, G-Energy, as well as import companies Castrol, Shell, KiXX and others.
The Compact Crossover Opel Antara was presented in the market in 2006 and was removed from production in 2017. Based on the features of the structures, Opel Antara can be divided into two generations, until 2011, and later, although the manufacturer calls the replacement of the body, engines and gearboxes. The first and second generation differ significantly by recommendations on lubricant materials. From the model 2007 in the engine was offered to use oils with tolerance Opel GM-LL-A-025 and B-025 on gasoline and diesel engines respectively. These requirements are fully consistent with LiQui Moly oil. This is a complete high-tech NS-synthetic motor oil. Provides a high engine resource in accordance with the requirements of Opel.
In 2010, a single tolerance on the motor oils General Motors of the European market was introduced - DEXOS 2 ™, for gasoline and diesel cars. Therefore, DEXOS 2 ™ immediately hit the recommendation for Opel Antara. DEXOS 2 ™ must be used on diesel opel engines Antara since 2011 with summary filters, but the owners gasoline engines There is a choice, or use DEXOS 2 ™, or an oil with an old GM-LL-A-025 tolerance. DEXOS 2 ™ oils are full-rich minor oils, Low SAPS class based on ASEA C3 classification. These oils have a special package of additives with a reduced sulfur, phosphorus and zinc, reduced alkalinity and sulphate ash. The DEXOS 2 ™ regulatory license has a LIQUI Moly Oil - Sintetic engine oil with improved low-temperature properties, compatible with the particulate filters and an increase in the engine resource in accordance with the requirements of Opel. Also, the consumer can use the fully synthetic engine oil LIQUI MOLY, which meets the requirements of the DexOS 2 ™. Full synthetics effectively resists the processes of the degradation of motor oil, known as the "Oil Plague". In addition, full synthetics based on PJSC (polyalphaolefins) provides low wear, engine cleanliness and excellent low-temperature properties.
Oil B. MCPP Opel Antara is considered an oil "lifelong" fill, it means that it will be concerned about the replacement when the car mileage will translate for 200,000 km. In the transmission transmission Opel Antara sAE oil 75W-90 GL4. These requirements perform synthetic transmission oil. Automatic boxes Gears until 2011. model year Required ATF JWS 3309, which corresponds to Liqui Moly. But since 2011, there is already a small ATF DEXRON VI, which corresponds to Liqui Moly - NS synthetic low-viscosity liquid for the automatic transmission of the most modern generations. Promotes essential fuel economy, normalizes gear shift functions.
Since the resource of equipment directly depends on the used operational materials, the question of what oil is to fill in Opel Antara , and in what amount, far from idle. The answer to him wants many car owners.
Opel Crossover, which appeared on automotive market In 2006, and called Antara, can be considered a long-liver. Its selling continues today. Spacious I. reliable carwhose characteristics are attractive for potential buyersIt was distributed in different countries.
Depending on the version of the execution, Opel Antara is completed with several options. power plants. Over the years of release, these motors were modified several times, as they say new letters adding to their factory labeling. But enhancements made did not affect the requirements for lubricant materials. It should be understood that only if the engine is flooded high-quality oil, Antara will last long.
Without going to B. specifications and details, consider only the standards of engine oils recommended for use in Opel Antara, and the volume of oil poured into the lubrication system.
Filling volumes
Gasoline power units. They are interesting to customers, primarily interested in the dynamic characteristics of the car, and not wanting to take certain risks associated with the operation in our country using diesel fuel in our country.
- Z. Total volume Fill lubrication system - 4.5 liters.
- A 24 - Standard Carter Volume - 4.5 liters. But configurations are found, where the volume of the lubrication system is increased to 4.7 liters.
- Z 32 - the most powerful one of those that are in the configuration, force aggregate. With the same standards on lubricantsAs his less powerful fellow, it will have to fill 7.4 liters of engine oil.
On all models Opel Antara, the oil level is controlled by SchUP. It is impossible to allow him to go out for the permissible limits. When the engine is running, the lubricant can burn out and its consumption within 0.6 liters per thousand kilometers is considered normal.
More important than brand
By asking how the engine oil pour into Opel Antara, many have a specific manufacturer. Whatever the representatives of service centers affirm, in most cases it does not matter when replacing. It is not so much a lubricant manufacturer itself, how much product compliance with the required standards. Obviously, preference should be given to brands, the reputation of which is no doubt. And certainly should not be used in Opel Antara oil into the engine from some exotic supplier. In this case, it is possible to be in a situation where it is simply nothing to add to the products of various firms, even if it corresponds to the same standards, it is unacceptable to mix. But the rest of the car owner is free in his choice.
