Looking at doing an oil and filter change on my 2016 GP 1.6 Blue HDI Diesel

Getting a bit confused over which oil speifications I should be buying.

Any recomendations please as it looks very expensive for 5 ltrs.

Thanks

The Citroen recomended oil is Total Ineo ECS 5w 30 oil. Yes it is expensive but it is an incredibly good oil.
Link to the best price I found for 5l £28.99 inc post

The correct oil spec for 1.6 Bluehdi engine is PSA B71 2312
This oil is 0w-30.

NO other oil is specified for this engine.

An inexpensive one.

Thanks guys.

From what I could find out 0w-30 appears to be correct. Apparently it offers better protection throught the year including the winter months where as the 5W-30 is thicker and not so good in the winter.

Found some 0w-30 Liqui Moly oil. Never heard of it but at £56.95 for 5 ltrs its more than I've ever paid for engine oil. Looks the correct spec tho.

Thanks for that link Skorpion. Never heard of that make but it's certainly a lot cheaper than I have found upto now.

You must ensure that the oil is low SAPs, otherwise you may have problems with your particle filter. You should get a PSA approved oil.

Oops - misread the year of the car - Ineo First 0w 30 is indeed the correct oil
