Use 0W-30, Mobile Super3000 looks like the best choice.

Peugeot/Citroen say change the oil and filter every 15000kms or 1 Year. Others are saying half that now.
An oil change twice a year is not going to break the bank.
Don’t forget, it’s most to inspect the cam belt regularly on these “wet belt” engines.

There is a guide here to the correct oils but still best to be checked using your VIN since Citroen have been changing specs recently.
Having said that, since your car is still under warranty I would get your dealer to change the oil and do the timing belt checks, particularly since the Puretech engines have previously had problems with timing belts.

5W30 that meets specification: FPW9.55535/03 is what you require officially based on your VIN.

That's not the correct oil. :wink:
