The figures in the first two sections are from the 2002 Vauxhall TIS (Technical Information System). The last section lists figures that owners gave in other guides on this site, and links to the guide each one came from.
Engine oil, NA (Z22SE)
| Item | 2002 TIS figure |
|---|---|
| Fill capacity, with oil filter | 5.5 litres |
| Fill capacity, without oil filter | 5.0 litres |
| Between "min" and "max" on the dipstick | 1.0 litre |
| Oil quality | ACEA A3/B3 |
| Oil viscosity | SAE 0W-X, 5W-X or 10W-X, where X must be 30 or greater |
| Oil pump | Rotor pump |
| Oil pressure, engine idling and at operating temperature | 150 kPa (1.5 bar, about 22 psi) |
| Oil consumption | 0.6 litres per 1,000 km |
- Viscosity: because X must be 30 or greater, 5W-30, 0W-40 and 10W-40 all fit the list. 15W-40, which some owners have used, isn't on it.
- Oil pressure: the TIS page lists the oil pump twice, with 150 kPa both times, and both footnotes say "with the engine idling and at operating temperature".
- Oil consumption: the table gives 0.6 litres per 1,000 km but doesn't say whether that is typical or a limit.
- Disposal: the TIS says to observe the applicable national legislation when disposing of engine oil.
For checking the level, the filter and the owners' experience of how much goes in, see Engine oil and filter change. For the intervals, see the Service schedule.
Gearbox fluid
| Item | 2002 TIS |
|---|---|
| Quantity | Approx. 1.55 (litres; the pasted text shows no unit) |
| Catalogue no. | 19 40 768 |
| Part no. | 09 120 541 |
Check the level, don't just pour in the quantity. The TIS says that after a transmission repair operation the transmission must be topped up to the lower edge of the level aperture. It also says that the fluid is filled by weight at the factory, so the fluid level is always below the checking aperture.
The page doesn't name the gearbox, but as the TIS is from 2002 it covers the NA. The 1.55 figure matches the NA guide. For the Turbo, owners report about 1.5 litres for the F23, with some taking more. See Gearbox oil replacement (NA) and F23 gearbox removal and clutch replacement (Turbo).
Other fluids, from owners' guides
These are not from the TIS. They are what owners gave in the threads behind each guide.
| Fluid | What owners say | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Coolant, NA | Disputed. Owners say 6 or 12 litres, and the system never drains completely. | Coolant change and bleeding |
| Coolant, Turbo | 13.2 litres, from one owner. | |
| Brake fluid | About 2 litres for a full change. The guide's author used DOT 4. | Brake fluid replacement |
| Clutch fluid (Turbo) | About a quarter to half a litre to bleed. DOT 5.1 is suggested for a hard-driven car. | F23 gearbox removal and clutch replacement |
