what oil have you used previously lozz ?

[Mastiff]

I always use Quartz 9000. It is expensive but its made by Total and sold by Peugeot dealerships. Fully synthetic so great for a Turbo charged engine that runs at extreme temps.

what oil have you used previously lozz ?

inever changed the oil in this car mate,
idont think its ever seen a oil change

ive always used castrol etc in my other motors but theyve been petrol .

I use Mobil 1 in my Cossie and change it every 2,500 miles. She will be coming out soon as the weather is getting better

As long as its semi syntheyic and as long as its 10w 40 it'll do
Thats what it says for diesels in the 406 handbook
Woops-just read that 5w40 is for the 2.2 diesel

[carpingtaz]

just been and got some service stuff from the factors and they gave me fully synthetic 5w/40
the manufacturer recommends this but my handbook says only use this on 2.2's strange
on the bay for my car http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/307-1-4-HDI-2-0-H ... 3a5a845a04

it seems everyone on here recommends 10w/40 semi
so what's the answer or am i reading to much into this

[plod]

Sure it's 10w40 Semi synthetic I use for my 2.0 HDi

Interesting about the majority using 10-40 semi synth' on here. I would have thought a 5-40 fully synth' would have been much better on a modern day turbo diesels like the HDI's?
