New Engine Oil Specifications for Opel
Overview and Products
General Information
With the introduction of the dexos1TM Gen 2 specification in 2017, the required product range for Opel vehicles was extended. Instead of using only one product (dexos2TM) up to now, two different engine oils had to be used. With the acquisition of Opel by PSA, further specifications are now relevant which we would like to explain to you in more detail here:
