Oil for ZX 1.4i

Finding this a bit confusing. Haynes say anything between 10w/30 to 15/50 but I’ve just picked up 5w/40 from the local motor factors which comes up on their system.

Will the 5w/40 be okay?

Hi

Please post your VIN up for me (automasked on post submission) so I can provide you with the correct Citroen recommended oil for your ZX.

Many thanks. It’s VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

I would stick to 10W 40 semi-synthetic. As your car is a bit older than the later specifications, it's not listed, but 10W-40 is listed for the later TU3 Engines. This will cover you from -20° to +50° climates.

Thanks. The service handbook with the car actually states that 5w40 will be fine but I’ll pick up a gallon of 10w40 today.
