Service

[Matt]

about to give the Rallye a service, and I want to give the Rallye a flush through before putting in some decent oil, 

So first of what cheap oil should I put in to run around for 100 miles,

And then what decent oil should I drain and replace it with?

I'd use any cheap 10w40 semi synthetic but I wouldn't do 100 miles on it. Bring it up to temp for a few minutes then let it cool a bit.

I'm currently using millers nanodrive 10w60 nt competition stuff. Made the engine a lot quieter and smoother. Used total quartz 9000 5w40 for years as it's cheap from Peugeot.

Use Peugeot filters too.

Rather than flushing I'd just change the oil with total quartz 9000 which is recommended and is cheap enough, and then change it regularly. After lots of regular oil changes it will be coming out cleaner each time.

Is the Quartz stuff what you get from Peugeot?

[cully]

total quartz 9000 5/40 is recommended by Peugeot you may find the engine will rattle or leak on it, if its not been used to synthetic oil
if so use total quartz 7000 10/40 which is semi synthetic also recommended by Peugeot

the semi synthetic is slightly cheaper

if you want to run a flush
ive used Wynn's Engine Flush
dont drive the car with it in just run it till hot then dump the oil

im currently using Castrol Edge Titanium 5W40

I believe that's what they'll give you. It can be bought here:

Or possibly marginally cheaper on ebay.
