What engine oil for Xsara Picasso 2.0 hdi

Post by Xantic »

Anyone know what the recommended oil is for this vehicle please or an alternative for the recommended.

I have read some where that only a particular oil should be used with the fap fitted.

Picasso doesn't have a FAP, 10/40 semi synthetic is suitable for this engine.

Thought it did have a fap..Good if it doesn't.

Some of the 1.6 hdi's do have a fap (110bhp) but not sure about 2.0 hdi.

To be honest Halfords do a 5/40 fully synthetic that I have used in every recent Citroen I have serviced, I also use it in my relay and berlingo. The price is quite good if you have a trade card.

The Halfords stuff is Coma but they are now owned by Esso I believe
