Oil change Hdi

Post by drpau »

Just changed the oil on my Xsara Hdi (well last week anyway!), its amazing what difference an oil change makes to the smoothness of the engine- when idling and when revved. cChanged it at about 8k this time. Used GSF's Quantum 10w40 semi (as I did on the last change). Mann filter by the way, the same code used to be Perflux (same scenario as that ZX thread the other week) but they only had Mann on the shelf apparently. Didnt realise at the time I could have got a Perflux in a Citroen box over the counter for an extra £1.25 +vat. Dont Citroen often use Mann as thier OEM filter anyway? The Perflux look nice though :oops:

I think next time Ill go for the Total 10w40 from their online shop and have it delivered, its a few £s cheaper to start off with for the oil compared to the quantum, then add the cost of delivery and theyre about the same, then I dont have to go out of my way to go into the shop, so less hassle. :D

God I cant half waffle,

cheers
