The first and second follow the psa 2290 rules the third not. It was proposed to me as a very good oil that also reduces the oil consumption ( if there is any).

I've just done a change on my 2010 16v 1.6 HDI today, non fap. I use the Ineo 5/30, your first choice. Overspecced for the engine, it's low saps for the FAP but I have 3 cars that the oil can do, a FAP 407 from 2006 and a 2005 C4 petrol. The reason I use it on all is because of the 407 and I buy it in a 20 litre drum for 120 Euros.

Hi.

Wouldnt think of anything else but first choice. Works well in my HDI for the last 320000 km, my wifes 208 and her dads C3. The price for 5l here is ccs 32 EUR, so much cheaper than the other two. Why changing something that works proven?
