What oil to use please?

Post by beegeexi »

Well, I have a 206cc 1.6 automatic and I would like to change engine oil. I am located in Kenya but imported the car from the UK.
I checked the manual and can't find the oil type to use.
Anyone who knows exactly what kind of oil to use can help Me with the infinformation. We have Total, Shell, Among the oil manufacturing companies here.

Kenya might need a 10 or even 15-40 due to heat

Total Quartz 9000 5W40 is the best thank you. I changed it today and even the mechanical guy was impressed by the choice. Thanx to this forum.

Well done. Hope you used a genuine Peugeot oil filter too.
