To get the latest oil spec you might need to visit a Peugeot dealer and ask for a printout of the service schedule using your VIN. Oil specs can change based on experience/engine problems so getting the latest one is worthwhile. The oil reference topic on here is no longer being updated after the site lost access to Stellantis data/procedures/parts diagrams.

This, 100%. FWIW, personally I'd not run anything less than 10W30 providing it otherwise meets the specifications. Obviously not a recommendation since it varies from what the manufacturer calls for but I can only see benefits from running something with at least some kind of viscosity.

Stelantis issued a recommendation for oils in July 2024. Even then, the recommendation for this engine was only 0W30 Oil B71 2312. I don't believe that anything was changed for that engine, which otherwise had no problems. Although I would still use 5W30 Oil B71 2290.
