API Norms:
The meaning of the first letter has not changed, it still corresponds to the
type of engine:
S: petroland dual fuel petrol/ LPG engines.
C: diesel engines.
The second letter corresponds to the degree of evolution of the oil
(ascending order).
Example:Norm SLis more severe than norm SJ, corresponding to
a higher level of performance.
Recommendations.
ESSENTIAL: To preserve engine performances, all engines fitted in
CITROËN vehicles must be lubricated with high quality oils
(synthetic
or semi-synthetic).
CITROËNengines 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%).
The oil 5W30is used only for the following engines (year 2004):
- XU10 J4RS: XSARA VTS 2.0i 16V (3-door).
- SOFIM: JUMPER / RELAY 2.8 TDi and 2.8 HDi.
- HDi: With particle filter (FAP).
