Recommendations for approved lubricants The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most pur-poses. The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depend-ing on the temperatures at which theoils are to be used. It is also possible to use synthetic oils of "superior quality". In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ qual-ity (for petrol engines) or CD/CFquality (for diesel engines) may beused by following the "Arduous Con-ditions" maintenance schedule,which specifies shorter service inter-vals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice
from a PEUGEOT dealer to maintaindriving pleasure and to minimise themaintenance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.
