Oil Query

Unread post by ray bear »

Hi there,

I can't find the definitive oil type for my DS 3 Crossback despite searching, checking docs, etc.

The VIN is VR1**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]. I can't find a site to check using this number.

Apologies for the duplicate query.

Regards

Ray

Here:

Your engine code is HNS and you have an EB2ADTS engine. Just follow the guide and look for your engine EB2ADTS and engine code under the EB table for country A:

Thanks for this. I've found one with a prefix 'PSA' B71 2010. Can you confirm what this is please ?

That essentially means (Peugeot Société Anonyme), but more generally, PSA refers to the old Peugeot Citroen Group, now part of the Stellantis group. So the PSA in your query refers to the manufacturer's specification for the engine oil. These tend to be higher than ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers' Association) recommendations.
