Chevrolet manufacturer position
Chevrolet passenger cars were sold in New Zealand until GM withdrew the brand around 2014. Used examples remain common. Petrol and diesel models share GM global fuel modules with Vauxhall/Opel cousins on some platforms.
Fuel system notes
- Many NZ Chevrolets use pump access under rear seat on cars; SUVs may differ.
- GM warranty exclusion wording covers wrong fuel explicitly.

Chevrolet Captiva diesel — petrol risk?
High. Do not start; drain and replace filters before cranking.
