They take 4.5 litres I think.
I've been using the 4 litre Castrol pots and have just been putting one of those in.

Sorry if i'm insulting your intelligence here, but thought it might be worth mentioning...
Stick in 4 litres to begin with, run the engine for a minute then leave it to settle for a while. Then check the dipstick - this'll give you a more accurate reading and mean you don't end up over-filling (you'll never get 100% of the old oil out, so won't need the whole 4.5l).

Euro Car Parts and the filters made by MANN are my personal choice.
Always found their filters to be good, oil, fuel, air, pollent etc they're all pretty decent.
Blueprint stuff is good as well if you can find it.

Genuine filters are surprisingly cheap even retail prices! trade price from peugeot isn't much more than a factors price!
