WHAT IS THE OPEL BLUEINJECTION TECHNOLOGY?
WHAT IS THE OPEL BLUEINJECTION TECHNOLOGY?
BlueInjection is the cutting-edge SCR diesel technology from Opel that uses AdBlue®* to further reduce the level of nitrogen oxides and work towards cleaner emissions.
- The innovative SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology: BlueInjection is a part of Opel´s exhaust gas after treatment system.
- The BlueInjection technology directly injects AdBlue® into the exhaust pipe triggering a chemical reaction that reduces harmful nitrogen oxides emissions, by converting them into nitrogen and water vapor, which are harmless to the environment.
- AdBlue® is a clean, non-toxic, non-flammable, and odorless fluid that consists purely of 32.5% urea and 67.5% water.
*AdBlue® is a registered trademark from Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V.

By owning a vehicle with BlueInjection technology you are helping to reduce harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions thus reducing your environmental footprint.
HOWT TO ADBLUE®?
WHEN TO REFILL?
Cars fitted with the BlueInjection system need regular AdBlue® top-ups also in between recommended service intervals. But don´t worry, an indicator in the dashboard will inform you when levels are running low.
Each AdBlue® tank is equipped with sensors that will trigger a series of messages when the fluid is running low. Please refer to the owners manual for details.
Attention! If the AdBlue® tank is depleted, the system will need a top-up of at least 10l before the commercial vehicle can be restarted.

Top-up yourself at one of the many AdBlue® refill pumps available in gas stations. Or choose between the wide range of refill bottles available.
- The refill port is located next to the diesel fuel filler for Vivaro and just behind the driver door on Movano
- The filler cap is colored and can be opened by hand.
- Re-fill can be done easily at one of the vehicles truck / commercial vehicle AdBlue® refill pumps available in a number of gas stations.
- You can also use all passenger car compatible bottles and nozzles available at many petrol stations or outlets. Or just go to your local Opel dealer for the refill.
- If small quantities of AdBlue® come into contact with the vehicle’s paintwork, wipe them off and if necessary rinse the area with water.

THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BLUEINJECTION AND ADBLUE®.
What is AdBlue®?
As it is mostly water, it freezes at -11°C (a 32.5% concentration is the lowest freezing point of a urea water solution), so to allow the vehicle to run under all conditions, all AdBlue® tanks are equipped with a heater that will defrost sufficient liquid for the emission reduction.

Are there alternatives to SCR technologies?
What happens if I don´t top-up?
What should I pay attention to when buying AdBlue®?
- First you should pay attention to the trademark AdBlue® and the standard ISO 22241-1 as well as DIN 70070.
- Also we strongly advise you to only use bottles or canisters with a sealed interface to the filler pipe (usually with a screwed adapter). Like this you minimize risk of spillage.
- Finally since AdBlue® has a limited durability, check the date of expiry before refilling.
Can AdBlue® be refilled at truck filling stations?
What should I do if I spill AdBlue® onto my car and/or clothes?
If you ever spill some AdBlue® on your clothes and/or hands, just rinse out thoroughly with clear water.
