Compact Opel hatchback The Corsa is produced at plants in Germany and Spain and spans five generations. The model has been produced since 1982 and in the first three generations had several different body types, however, starting with the Corsa D (from 2006 onwards), only 3 and 5-door hatchbacks were left. Most cars were equipped with naturally aspirated gasoline engines development General Motors volume 1.0 - 1.6 liters or 1.5- and 1.7- liter diesels Isuzu. From Corsa C onwards motor range a 1.3-liter turbodiesel developed by Fiat appeared, and last generation The E, introduced in 2014, also received 1.0 and 1.4 liter turbocharged petrol engines. In addition to the regular versions, there are sports modifications of the model, Corsa GSi (generation C) with a 1.8-liter 125-horsepower naturally aspirated engine and Corsa OPC(generations D, E) with a 1.6 turbocharged engine with a power of 192 - 210 hp. The model was equipped various types transmissions, including mechanical, automatic with torque converter and robotic, with a number of gears from 4 to 6. What kind of oil to fill in Opel engine Corsa depends on its type and year of manufacture of the car.

Transmission oil for Opel Corsa
According to the automaker's recommendations, oils in hydromechanical automatic transmission Opel gears Corsa must meet GM Dexron standards. For cars with automatic transmission, transmissions are suitable liquids TOTAL FLUIDE XLD FE (property level Dexron III-H) and TOTAL FLUIDMATIC MV LV (Dexron VI). These oils, thanks to properly selected friction characteristics guarantee smooth operation gearboxes and protect it from premature wear, thus increasing its resource.
Functions ATF oils in the automatic transmission of the Opel Corsa:
- effective lubrication of rubbing surfaces and mechanisms;
- reduction of mechanical load on components;
- heat removal;
- removal of microparticles formed due to corrosion or wear of parts.
- Reasons for oil leakage from automatic transmission in Opel Corsa:
- wear of automatic transmission seals;
- wear of the shaft surfaces, the appearance of a gap between the shaft and the sealing element;
- wear of the automatic transmission sealing element and the speedometer drive shaft; backlash input shaft
- automatic transmission;
- damage to the sealing layer in the connections between automatic transmission parts: pan, automatic transmission housing, crankcase, clutch housing;
Low oil level in the Opel Corsa automatic transmission is the main reason for failure of clutches. Due to low fluid pressure, the clutches do not press well against the steel discs and do not contact each other tightly enough. As a result, the friction linings in the Opel Corsa automatic transmission become very hot, charred and destroyed, significantly contaminating the oil. Due to lack of oil or
- low quality oil
- in automatic transmission Opel Corsa: the plungers and channels of the valve body become clogged with mechanical particles, which leads to a shortage of oil in the bags and provokes wear of the bushing, rubbing parts of the pump, etc.; overheat and wear out quickly
- steel wheels
- gearboxes;
Heavily contaminated oil is an abrasive suspension, which under high pressure creates a sandblasting effect. Intense impact on the valve body leads to thinning of its walls at the locations of the control valves, which can result in numerous leaks. You can check the oil level in the automatic transmission of the Opel Corsa using a dipstick.
The oil dipstick has two pairs of marks - the upper pair Max and Min allows you to determine the level on hot oil, the lower pair - on cold oil. Using a dipstick it is easy to check the condition of the oil: you need to drop some oil onto a clean white cloth. When choosing an Opel Corsa automatic transmission oil for replacement, you should be guided by a simple principle: it is best to use the oil recommended by Opel. Moreover, instead of mineral oil
You can fill in semi-synthetic or synthetic, but in no case should you use oil of a “lower class” than the prescribed one. Synthetic oil for the automatic transmission of the Opel Corsa is called “non-replaceable”; it is filled in for the entire life of the car. This oil does not lose its properties when exposed to high temperature
and is designed for a very long period of use of the Opel Corsa. But we must not forget about the appearance of mechanical suspension as a result of wear of the clutches over a very significant mileage. If the automatic transmission has been operated for some time in conditions of insufficient oil, it is necessary to check the degree of contamination and, if necessary, replace it.
- Methods for changing the oil in an Opel Corsa automatic transmission:
- Partial oil change in the Opel Corsa box;
To do this, just unscrew the drain on the pan, drive the car onto an overpass, and collect the oil in a container. Usually up to 25-40% of the volume leaks out, the remaining 60-75% remains in the torque converter, that is, in fact this is an update, not a replacement. To update the oil in the Opel Corsa automatic transmission in this way to the maximum, 2-3 changes will be required. A complete oil change of the Opel Corsa automatic transmission is carried out using an automatic transmission oil change unit, car service specialists. In this case, more ATF oil will be required than the Opel Corsa automatic transmission can accommodate. For flushing, one and a half or double volume of fresh ATF is required. The cost will be more expensive partial replacement
, and not every car service provides such a service.
- Partial replacement of ATF oil in an Opel Corsa automatic transmission according to a simplified scheme:
- We unscrew the automatic transmission pan, which, in addition to the bolts holding it, is treated along the contour with sealant.
- We gain access to the automatic transmission filter; it is advisable to change it at every oil change, or rinse it.
- At the bottom of the tray there are magnets, which are necessary for collecting metal dust and shavings.
- We clean the magnets and wash the tray, wipe it dry.
- We install the automatic transmission filter in place.
- We install the automatic transmission pan in place, replacing the automatic transmission pan gasket if necessary.
- We tighten the drain plug, replacing the gasket drain plug for automatic transmission.
Opel Corsa. CHANGING OIL IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WORKING FLUID IN AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The design of the gearbox does not provide for oil changes during the entire service life of the vehicle. However, sometimes the need to change the oil may arise, for example, when switching to oil of a different viscosity, or when the quality of the working fluid in an automatic transmission deteriorates
after it overheats, when repairing a gearbox, etc. The methods for checking the level, topping up and changing oil and fluid in a manual and automatic transmission are different, therefore they are shown separately for each of the boxes.
HELPFUL ADVICE
Fill the manual transmission with API oil GL 4 SAE 80W -90 or 75W -90. The manufacturer recommends replacing the factory-filled oil with transmission oil. SAE oil 75W if the car is operated for a long time at ambient temperatures below -30 °C.
Rice. 6.4. Mechanical robotic box gears F 13+ MTA: 1 - gearbox housing; 2 - gear shift module; 3 - breather; 4 - gearbox control system harness; 5 - hydraulic clutch release reservoir; 6 - hydraulic clutch release pump module electronic unit gearbox control; 7 - supply hose; 8 - hydraulic clutch release tube
To change the oil in mechanical box gears you will need: keys “13”, “17”, socket head “12”, wrench
 |
1. There is no oil drain plug in the design, so if you need to change the oil, install a container under the gearbox to drain the oil, remove the bolts securing the lower gearbox cover and drain the oil.
2. Remove the cover and gasket.
3. Wipe the cover and gasket with a clean cloth to remove any remaining oil.
NOTE__________________________
Replace the gasket with a new one each time you remove the bottom cover.
4. Install the lower transmission cover.
 |
5. Loosen the inspection plug oil level located on the side of the gearbox housing and remove the plug.
The plug has a magnet to collect metal wear debris; clean it before installing the plug.
The oil filler plug also serves as a breather, so check the cleanliness of the holes in it.
WARNING __________
Operating a vehicle without a protective plug cap is prohibited! If it is missing, road dirt will get into the gearbox.
8. Fill the gearbox with oil to the bottom edge of the inspection hole.
9. Screw in the oil level plug and the oil filler plug.
For replacement working fluid in an automatic transmission you will need: an 8-point square wrench, a syringe.
1. Warm up the working fluid in the gearbox until operating temperature 70-80°C after a short trip.
2. Place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface and apply the parking brake.
3. Pressing the brake pedal and holding it pressed, alternately move the selector lever to all positions from “P” (parking) to “D” (driving forward), pausing briefly in each position to fill the torque converter and hydraulic system with fluid. After this, set the selector lever to the “N” (neutral) position. Release the brake pedal.
4. Place a wide container under the gearbox to collect fluid.
5. Unscrew the plug for draining the working fluid and drain the fluid. Tighten the plug with a torque of 45 Nm.
6. Remove the plug from the hole for filling the working fluid. Fill the liquid with the syringe until it starts flowing out of the hole. Tighten the plug with a torque of 45 Nm. At a normal level, it begins to flow out of the hole or you can reach its surface with your finger.
7. If the level is low, add fluid with a syringe in the same way as you did for a manual transmission (see above in this subsection) until it begins to flow out through the hole.
NOTE________________________
When the liquid is completely drained, the estimated volume of newly filled liquid will be about 3.3 liters.
Changing the oil in an automatic transmission Opel Corsa can be carried out in three ways.
First way
The car owner needs to drain the oil through the appropriate plug, then screw it back in and then, using the dipstick, add new oil. The drain plug is located at the bottom of the gearbox and can be unscrewed with a hexagon (10 mm will do). It's worth noting that this is not a very effective option. IN in this case About 3 liters of used oil will be drained and, accordingly, the same amount of new oil will be added. In fact, this is not a replacement, but a partial replacement of the oil, so the need for a new “update” will arise quite soon (after about 30 thousand km).
Second way
Automatic transmission oil change Opel Corsa, the second method - you should repeat the manipulations described above with a small addition: the oil that is in the oil lines of the gearbox must also be drained. This method is more productive because more oil is replaced. But even in this case, a 100% replacement will not happen. You will need about five liters of oil. The procedure itself is as follows. Drain the old oil through the tube and add new oil. Then remove the first hose, the one at the top.
It is secured with a special spring-latch, which is inserted into the corresponding grooves. To remove it, just pry it off with a screwdriver. Then removing the hose will not be difficult. We place any container under the hose where the oil will gradually drain. At the same time, ask your assistant to start the engine. Thanks to this, the pressure of the flowing oil will increase significantly. Watch the process carefully in order to signal your friend to stop the engine in time. This must be done when clean oil begins to flow from the hose.
Return the hose to its original position. It is worth making sure that a small thin ring (rubber) with a diameter of no more than 1 centimeter remains on the hose. Quite often it is washed off with pouring oil. If this happens, be sure to look for the ring in the container with the used product. If this is not done, there is a high risk of oil leaking at the junction of the box and the hose.
Adding oil to the required level, please note that it will change as soon as you start the engine. In this case, underfilling oil is just as dangerous as overfilling it. In order for the oil to foam when overfilling about 250 ml, the same effect will occur if it is underfilling about 650 ml. In this regard, it would be the right decision to determine the volume of the drained product and fill in a new one slightly less than this volume. Then we start the engine and measure the level, focusing on the lower marks marked on the dipstick (meaning the side marked “+ 20”). It is worth understanding that as the engine heats up, the oil level will gradually increase. Once you have determined that the level is sufficient, drive the car for about 20 kilometers until the transmission is completely warmed up, then adjust the level using the side of the dipstick with the “+80” mark. When following these steps, take your time, add oil little by little so as not to overdo it.
Third way
Changing the oil in automatic transmission Opel Corsa D, the third method is undoubtedly optimal. In addition to the actions discussed in the second method, the car owner should remove the transmission pan and also replace the transmission filter located inside. This method designed primarily for cars with high mileage. If the mileage is small, the second method will be quite sufficient.
After changing, you should not expect the oil to retain its original reddish tint. It will most likely turn light yellow. This happens due to the mixing of waste (dark brown) oil residues and the new product. But the specific smell of the old oil will disappear, and it will be replaced by a new, fresher one. Therefore, do not panic if your oil is not red, “store-bought” in color. If it remains transparent and there is no burning smell, it is not necessary to change it.
Replacement transmission oil- This important feature when implementing Maintenance. Lubricant does not give metal elements come into contact with each other. If this happens, the technological unit becomes unusable. To prevent this from happening, the oil in a manual transmission also needs to be changed every few years. Although vehicle manufacturers are against such procedures.
Why is it necessary to change the oil in a manual transmission?
Transmission oil for Opel Corsa D is used to facilitate the operation of this unit. During driving, the gearbox is subject to significant loads and difficult tests. During operation, bearings, shafts and gears are constantly in contact with each other. A frictional force arises between the gears. To reduce wear, a special transmission fluid appropriate viscosity.
Other functions of gear oil:
- Heat removal from internal elements transmissions;
- Reducing wear and increasing the service life of the technological unit;
- Removing rust.
If bad motor oil has been poured into the car’s transmission, then the car will show this in every possible way by its behavior, namely:
- Noise in the box;
- The vehicle does not move;
- It is impossible to engage first gear;
- Another breakdown.
Oil leaks and breakdowns
If there is an oil leak from the box, you need to figure out the cause.
There are two types of reasons for the labor costs of repairing leaks:
- Easily removable;
- Difficult to remove.
If a car owner likes to take care of his car, he will easily detect an oil leak from the box. The first step is to measure droplets on the asphalt surface. If it is indeed fluid from your own vehicle, you need to fix the leak:
The reasons described above can be quickly diagnosed. They do not require large material costs.
To eliminate complex reasons, it will take time and money. Sometimes it is necessary to involve specialists to eliminate such causes.
Difficult causes of oil leakage from Manual transmission Opel Corsa D:
It is impossible to replace the sealing element on the drive yourself. You need to remove the gearbox. To do this, special equipment should be used. It is necessary to contact specialists at the service station.
In other cases, the oil leak can be eliminated on your own.
The process of changing the oil in a manual transmission
If the box is broken and needs to be repaired, in most cases the oil is changed. However, the oil is replaced not only because of breakdown, but also because of contamination. To carry out this process on Opel car Corsa D, you will need a special tool:
- Set of wrenches and hex keys;
- Screwdriver;
- Pliers;
- Metal brush;
- Gloves and special clothing;
- Container for waste liquid;
- Fresh oil.
This full list tools for changing the oil in a manual transmission on an Opel Corsa D.
Before starting the replacement procedure, you will need to carry out a test drive - 10-15 kilometers will help warm up the oil to operating temperature. This condition will provide the liquid with maximum fluidity.
Step-by-step instruction Changing the oil in a manual transmission on an Opel Corsa D:
- Install vehicle on a flat surface. Use the overpass inspection hole or a lift.
- Get to the bottom of the car. Remove the pallet protection. Use wrenches and a screwdriver.
- This will open up a view of the drain plug. Clean the surface around the drain plug with a metal brush. Place a waste oil container under the hole. Carefully unscrew the plug.
- Wait until the oil drains completely. Approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Proceed to dismantle the pallet. To do this, unscrew all the bolts around the perimeter. Maintain the horizontal position of the pallet. Carefully disconnect and pour the remaining amount of oil into a waste fluid container.
- Clear inner surface pallet with a metal brush. Wipe with a clean rag. Reinstall the pan. Tighten all bolts with the same tension.
- Tighten the plug drain hole. If necessary, replace it. This will help reduce the likelihood of oil leaks after high pressure builds up in the system.
- Fill in new oil through the inspection hole. Use a syringe. Fill to level. Tighten the drain hole.
- Carry out a test ride of 10-15 kilometers. While driving you need to change gears. Return to starting point.
- Check oil level. If necessary, top up.
The procedure for changing the oil in the system is completed.
It is necessary to check the oil level from time to time. Oil fasting leads to unpleasant consequences. At insufficient level It urgently needs to be topped up with liquid. You can use a pharmacy syringe or a special device to fill in new lubricant.
