The new GM factory standard Dexos1 Gen2 increases the requirements for Opel engine oils

GM as well as other manufacturers have engine problems and engine damages to complain again and again. This is due to the so-called LSPI phenomenon. In LSPI (Low-Speed-Pre-Ignition), the air-fuel mixture spontaneously and unintentionally ignites before the actual ignition. The LSPI is presumably caused by the engine oil, which enters the combustion chamber in minute quantities. The compression causes the engine oil and thus also the air-fuel mixture to ignite earlier than originally planned. The LSPI becomes noticeable through recurring engine knocking.

What is special about the Opel engine oil 95527874 of the Dexos1 Gen2 Norm?

GM has responded to these requirements and further developed its factory standard Dexos1. The new factory standard Dexos1 Gen2 reduces the LSPI and additionally fulfils further specifications of the EURO6 standard.

Which Opel vehicles need the engine oil 95527874 of the Dexos1 Gen2 standard?

---

The new Opel engine oil is prescribed for all gasoline engines with direct injection and turbocharging. This applies mainly to all years of construction from 2014, but can also apply retroactively to older vehicles. The affected Opel vehicles will be changed over to the new Opel engine oil 95527874 at the next oil change according to the Dexos1 Gen2.

The engine oil has a viscosity of 5W30. This means that it remains liquid enough in sub-zero temperatures and does not become too liquid in high temperatures. This reduces friction losses even at high temperatures and leads to a reduction in fuel consumption. All so-called high-tech low-viscosity engine oils that comply with the Dexos1 Gen2 standard have been tested by Opel and marked with an appropriate sticker.
