Citroen c1 1.2 puretech oil.

Unread post by Meinnit01 »

Hi all. Just joined the forum.
I have recently bought a 2018 Citroen c1 1.2 puretech. But it's only after I bought it that I started reading the horror stories of the wet belt. I was totally unaware beforehand.
It is 6yrs old with 22k. So I got the cambelt done, and I intend to do oil and filter changes quite regular myself.
My question is, what oil is the perfect oil for this engine? Ive googled it but I often get conflicting answers.
I've read 5W-30 and C2 and C3 and a few others, but OW-30 seems to be the more regular answer, but then I find there are several types of OW-30.
Could someone give a definitive answer?

Many thanks.

This topic gives the oils PSA recommend but you can also provide your VIN for an exact check on your car by admin

Ok, so either of the following grades and specifications can be used for this engine, as despite being a Toyota Aygo in disguise, this model actually has a PSA EB2F Euro 6 engine.

EM: 5W30 B71 2290 - 5W30 B71 2290 (C2)

EM: 0W30 B71 2312 - 0W30 B71 2312 (C1C2)

5W40 B71 2296 (A3B4) - EM: 05W40 B71 2296
