How to choose the right motor oil for our Opel Karl

Model: Vauxhall Karl MK 1 - Years: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

To choose the right oil, we first check the level using the appropriate dipstick, with the engine cold and on a flat surface. The recommended oil is Castrol Dexos 2 SAE 5W30, which can be found on auto-doc. It has the EAN code 4008177183669 and costs 40.99 euros for a 4-liter container, plus 9.95 euros for shipping.

This oil is recommended for optimal engine performance and longevity, as well as for lower fuel consumption. It is advisable not to mix different oils, so if the level is just a little low and a complete oil change is not necessary, we still recommend topping up with this type of oil, which is also available in 1-liter bottles.
