Draining method.
Oil capacities are defined as below.
1/ Vehicle on horizontal ground (in the high position, if hydropneumatic suspension).
2/Engine warm (oil temperature 80°C).
3/Drain oil sump + remove filter cartidge (time for draining to last drops = 15 minutes).
4/ Refit drain plug + filter cartridge.
5/ Refill the engine.
6/ Start the engine (to allow the cartridge to fill).
7/Stop the engine(to allow oil to stabilise for 5 minutes).
ESSENTIAL : Systematically check the oil level using the oil dipstick.

LUBRICANTS – TOTAL recommended oils
S.A.E. Norm - Table for selection of engine oil grade Factory evolutions in 2000 model year
CITROËN engines are lubricated at the factory with TOTALoil of grade
S.A.E.5W-30.
TOTALoil of grade S.A.E.5W-30allows improved fuel economies
(approx. 2.5%).
This oil is not used in the following engines :
- XU10 4 RS – XSARA VTS 2.0i 16V(3-door)
- SOFIM – RELAY 2.8 Dand 2.8 TD.
Engine oil norms
These engine oils have been classified by the following recognised
organisations:
SAE :Society of Automotive Engineers.
API : American Petroleum Institute.
ACEA : Association des Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles.

LUBRICANTS – TOTAL recommended oils
NOTE : See specific CITROËN C5 maintenance bulletins for oil recommendations by engine-type and by country.
Selection of engine oil grades recommended for climatic conditions in countries of distribution
ACEA Norms
The first letter corresponds to the type of engine concerned :
A : petrol and dual fuel petrol / LPGengines.
B : dieselengines.
The figure following the first letter corresponds to the type of oil.
1 :highly fluid oils, for reducing friction and lowering fuel
consumption.
3 : high performance oils.
The number after that (96or 98) corresponds to the year of creation of
the norm.
NOTE : From01/03/2000, all engine oils must comply with ACEA-98
norms.
Example :
ACEA A1-98 / B1-98 : Blended oils for all engines, permetting fuel
economy(complying with ACEA 98 norms).API Norms
The first letter corresponds to the type of fuel used by the engine :
S : petrol and dual fuel petrol / LPG engines.
C : diesel engines.
The second letter corresponds to the degree of evolution, in ascending order.
Example :The normSJis more severe than the norm SH and corres-
ponds to a higher level of performance.
The adding of the letters ECindicates that the engine oil concerned is an
oil which permits fuel economy.
EC : Energy Conserving,reduction in fuel consumption..
Examples :
API SJ / CF : Blended oils for dieseland dual fuel petrol / LPG engines.
API CF / EC : Oils specifically for dieselengines, permitting fuel
economy.
API SJ / CF / EC :Blended oils for all engines, permetting fuel economy.
