Hello, I am just wondering about the quality of oil I should use in my C3 1.4l I (Petrol). I have looked around on multiple websites and forums and have had mixed answers some say 5w30 and other say 10w40 and I am not sure on which I should use. I know that total quartz is the recommended brand for Citroen but I need to know the best quality to use

Thankyou

Glenn

You should use this Total 7000 oil (available here).

This is because different Continents have different weather and temperatures that the C3 would encounter. The 10w40 and 5w30 describe the temperature ranges for the the oils, so neither is right or wrong, it just depends on where you are.

UK, stick with 10w40 Total 7000 (here)
