Re: GEARBOX OIL??
Most often Peugeot/Citroen manual gearboxes take 75W80 grade gearbox oil in GL4 or GL5 specification.
Some interesting discussion on GL4 versus GL5 here:

As Matt says, 75W80. I'd only use the GL4 spec though.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Note also 75W90 is much more readily available, and lots of reports of it giving an inferior gear change feel on Peugeot Citroen gearboxes (versus the correct 75W80)
