Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
Hi Guys I need to top up Motor oil, can i use this to top up Oil from Asda Castrol Magnetec 5W 30 or do i just buy another 5 litre from Vauxhall, as this is different brand and may be slightly different viscosity, which i am not sure.
5w 30 GM dexos 2 oil this is what i used last time when i did the service.
What do you think of this DPF cleaner , as i saw this in Asda , would you recommend to add this in your Diesel Fuel tank ?
Does it work or would it mess up the components and DPF on the car.
Remove top sensor from DPF squirt it in and give a good hard drive this has seen DPF's go from 96% full to 28% you can also combine the two treatments which may give even better results.

Fuel consumption will increase from 0.2 on tickover to 0.4 or even 0.5 (if you have the fuel computer set to instantaneous consumption). If driving, then the consumption will drop down to 30 mpg, or even lower.

Hi BigDave2,
The point you mentioned about the exhaust sounds slightly heavier , smoke emitting from the exhaust and finding the car performance sluggish, I had this last year and I had the message Diesel Partic Filter is Full Continued Driving Mandatory and I took it for a long drive on motorway and put it on 5th gear and driving at 80mph. It cleared, but I had engine emission light and the MAF mass air flow sensor dirty and I had to replace it,as the car would not pick speed up and on the hill it would not climb even pressing the full acceleration pedal. I tried to clean the MAF sensor by spraying the electrical contact spark cleaner and it did not work.
I was looking for the DPF sensor I could not find it, so I will have to relook at it again by googling and see if there is an image.
