Checks & Inspections.

Please check this page regularly or Contact our Repairers in your city for any season checks offered.

Reliability is one of the distinguishing features of your Opel vehicle. Keep it that way with the help of our professional maintenance and care.

Your Opel authorized repairer knows your vehicle’s technology best and is equipped with the latest tooling to ensure high quality repair for a fair price. Opel recommends visiting an authorized repairer at least once a year.

The inspection allows you to renew the Opel Roadside Assistance cover. Opel Roadside Assistance provides essential back-up in case of breakdown. In Cyprus you are entitled to free-of-charge towing, 24-hours a day. Additionally, roadside assistance, towing, car rental, hotel accommodation or transportation arrangements by train or airplane available round the clock in more than 30 European countries.

Regular inspections not only keep your Opel running properly. A well-kept service booklet without service gaps raises the resale value.

Product quality and regular monitoring are the keys factors when it comes to your car’s oil needs. Checking oil levels regularly is important because engines necessarily burn small amounts of oil. It is especially worthwhile checking before a long journey or in between the oil change intervals, because technological advance has made the inspection intervals longer in terms of distance traveled.

Almost all new Opel vehicles require an oil change after a year or 30.000 km. In the case of vehicles with diesel particulate filters or turbo-charged petrol engines that have been driven in unfavorable conditions, the oil-lever indicator might signal a need for an earlier oil check.

• You should always carry a spare liter of the appropriate oil in your trunk.
• When you top up any new Opel model you should only use oils approved by Opel from 2003 onwards that conform to specification GM-LL-A-025 for petrol engines and GM-LL-B-025 for diesel engines (except Antara, Vivaro, Movano with DPF).
• If a small amount of oil is required and the above oils are not available you can use up to one liter of A3/B3 or A3/B4. In this case any of the following viscosity grades can be used: 0 W-30, 5 W-30, 0 W-40 and 5 W-40.

The following oils are available from Opel at most Opel authorized repairers and selected (online) retailers:
