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

Hi Glenn
UK, stick with 10w40 Total 7000 (here)
You should use this Total 7000 oil (available here).GlennElsey wrote: I am just wondering about the quality of oil I should use in my C3 1.4l I (Petrol).
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.GlennElsey wrote: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
