Opel Meriva Oil Type Finder

Opel's representation in the class of compact vans is the Meriva. The Spanish Opel plant in Zaragoza has been producing the Meriva B since 2010, just like the previous model. Both of these small vans have a customisable interior, five seats and engines that run on petrol or diesel. The Meriva A is based on the Opel Corsa, and the Meriva B is built on parts from the Zafira B and the Astra H. A reworked version of the Meriva's second generation was introduced by Opel in 2014.

The Meriva B is shorter in height than its predecessor, but it is wider and longer. The 1,410-liter maximum capacity has been raised to 1,500-liters. The Opel Meriva B's doors, which open in opposing directions, are perhaps the most noticeable distinction between the two Meriva models. For example, they make it simpler to buckle and unbuckle kids and allow easy access to the interior, even in confined parking areas.

Six petrol engines and five diesel engine versions were available when the first Meriva model (2003–2010) came off the manufacturing line. Both a petrol engine and a turbocharger are offered for the Meriva B. Without a turbocharger, the 1.4-liter ecoFlex engine produces 100 horsepower; with one, it can produce up to 140 horsepower. With its 1.6-liter displacement and redesign, the 2014 CDTI ecoFlex diesel engine produces 136 horsepower in its most potent form while using an astonishingly low 4.4 litres of fuel per 100 km.

The engine of your Opel Meriva depends on motor oil. It gives numerous internal engine parts the much-needed lubrication they require. One of its main responsibilities is to maintain the engine operating smoothly by preventing wear and tear on the moving parts. The engine would nearly instantly shut down without oil.

It's crucial to regularly check and replace the engine oil in your Opel Meriva. Engine oil contains extremely fine byproducts from the engine's combustion that are gathered each time your automobile is started and driven. This is among the causes of the oil's gradual blackening. These impurities can cause sludge and increased wear in the engine block, which can lower your car's overall efficiency and performance if they accumulate too much and surpass the oil's capacity.

The package for each engine oil will have a label indicating its viscosity rating. This will resemble 0W-20, 5W-30, or 5W-40. This rating helps you make sure you purchase the proper oil for your vehicle by indicating how thick or fluid the oil is. The oil with a lower viscosity grade will be thinner and more fluid than those with a higher grade (higher numbers), which will be thicker and considerably less running.

So which engine oil should you buy for your Opel Meriva? Whether you are topping up your Opel Meriva oil or doing a full change of your Opel Meriva's oil it is really important that you use the correct grade of oil.
