ACEA = Association des Constructeurs EuropŽens Automobiles (Association of European Automobile Manufacturers).
API = American Petroleum Institute - If oil is used which does not conform to the ACEA A3-B3 standards,
this requires the "Arduous Conditions" servicing schedule to be followed, which involves shorter intervals between services.
Use only 5W40 synthetic oil for the HDI Turbo Diesel engines with particulate emissions filter. Fuel economy oil cannot be used for the 2.2 litre 16V petrol engine.

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" servicing schedule, whichspecifies shorter service intervals. 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.
