Fuel grades for diesel engines (Chevrolet Captiva 1)

To operate a diesel engine, use only commercially available diesel fuel that complies with the current requirements of the Technical Regulations (Directive No.118 of 27.12.2008, as amended on 30.12.2008 No.1076). Using other fuels may damage the engine and void the warranty.

Do not use diesel fuel for marine engines, municipal fuel, or biodiesel (such as rapeseed oil or biodiesel) in pure or diluted form, aquazol and similar diesel-water emulsions.

The fluidity and filterability of diesel fuel depends on temperature.

During the winter period, diesel fuel with improved low-temperature properties is available on the market. Before starting the engine in the cold season, make sure that the tank is filled with winter fuel.
