oil recommendations? - 306pc - 11-03-2015
Do oil brands differ much in quality? The prices certainly do for the same quantity? What brands do people recommend? (50 10/40)
Cheers.

buy the best fully synth you can afford.
Fully synth Triple QX stuff is under £20 delivered though
RE: oil recommendations? - 306pc - 11-03-2015
5w40?
RE: oil recommendations? - r3k1355 - 11-03-2015
No thats too thin, 10w40 at the lowest.
IIRC it was 15w40 in the ph.1 manual, the one and only time I bothered to check.

5W40 is fine...
RE: oil recommendations? - 306pc - 11-03-2015
Can't find fully synthetic 10w40?
RE: oil recommendations? - PartyJas - 11-03-2015
I have used Valvolene Durablend 10w40 in all my cars for the past 20 years.. including 2 306 D-turbos and a GTi-6 which has done 140,000 hard miles in my ownership. Can't fault it.
clicky.

5w40 is fine run mine on 5w50 fully had a big 205L drum knocking about once the rally car was sold lol

Peugeot often sell 20L total quartz 9000 5w40 for about 50 quid. Well they do in Tewkesbury.
It works well, although I'm using Motul Sport now as I get it through work.
