Purpose and Specifications

OPEL GM DEXOS 2 5W-30 is a premium full synthetic engine oil engineered for modern diesel engines and naturally aspirated petrol engines. This 4-liter container delivers advanced protection designed to keep your engine clean, efficient, and protected against wear.

The 5W-30 viscosity rating means the oil flows easily in cold winter conditions (down to -30°C) while maintaining protective thickness at normal operating temperatures up to 100°C. This makes it ideal for year-round driving in varying climates.

Key Benefits

• Reduced Engine Deposits: Keeps pistons and fuel injectors cleaner, improving engine efficiency and fuel economy
• Extended Oil Life: Lasts up to 15,000 kilometers between oil changes under normal driving conditions, reducing maintenance frequency and costs
• Diesel Particulate Filter Protection: Ultra-low ash content protects emission control systems in diesel vehicles, ensuring compliance with modern environmental standards
• Superior Thermal Stability: Resists breakdown at high temperatures, providing consistent protection during highway driving and heavy loads
• Excellent Cold-Start Performance: Flows quickly at startup, reducing engine wear during the critical first moments of operation
• Corrosion and Sludge Control: Prevents rust formation and sludge buildup, extending engine life

When to Use / Replace?

Oil Change Intervals: Replace every 15,000 kilometers or every 12 months, whichever comes first. If you drive primarily short distances or in stop-and-go traffic, change oil every 10,000 kilometers.

Suitable For: Diesel engines with particulate filters, naturally aspirated petrol engines, and vehicles requiring BMW LL-04, VW 502.00, VW 505.00, or VW 505.01 specifications. Compatible with Mercedes-Benz MB-Approval 229.31 and 229.51 vehicles.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry location. Shelf life is typically 3-5 years in sealed containers. Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Operating Temperature Range: Performs reliably from -30°C (winter cold starts) to 100°C+ (normal engine operating temperature).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use DEXOS 2 in my petrol engine?
A: Yes. While DEXOS 2 is primarily formulated for diesel engines, it is also suitable for naturally aspirated petrol-powered vehicles. However, check your vehicle's owner manual to confirm compatibility with your specific model.

Q: How does DEXOS 2 differ from DEXOS 1?
A: DEXOS 1 is designed exclusively for turbocharged gasoline engines in North America. DEXOS 2 is formulated for diesel engines and naturally aspirated petrol engines, with lower ash content to protect diesel particulate filters. DEXOS 2 is the standard for European GM vehicles.

Q: Will using DEXOS 2 improve my fuel economy?
A: Yes. The advanced formulation reduces engine friction and deposits, which can improve fuel efficiency by a small but measurable amount compared to conventional oils. Combined with extended drain intervals, this reduces overall fuel and maintenance costs.
