FAQs
What does "Low SAPS" mean?
Low SAPS refers to a formulation with reduced levels of Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulphur. This is important for the longevity of modern exhaust emission systems like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) and catalytic converters.
Is this oil suitable for all Peugeot and Citroën vehicles?
It is specifically designed for recent PSA group vehicles, particularly those with "Blue HDi" diesel engines equipped with SCR systems requiring the B71 2312 specification. Always check your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm compatibility.
Can I use this oil in a gasoline engine?
Yes, the B712312 specification also covers the requirements of the majority of PSA gasoline engines, provided your vehicle manual specifies ACEA C2 or a similar low SAPS requirement.
What is the difference between this oil and a standard oil?
This is a fully synthetic, low SAPS oil meeting specific PSA standards (B71 2312) and ACEA C2. Standard oils may have different viscosity grades, be mineral-based, or have higher SAPS content, making them unsuitable for vehicles with advanced emission control systems.
How often should I change my engine oil with this product?
You should follow the oil change intervals recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. These intervals can vary based on driving conditions and vehicle model.
Where can I find the PSA B71 2312 specification?
The PSA B71 2312 specification is a standard set by the PSA Group (Peugeot and Citroën). You can find it listed in your vehicle's owner's manual under the recommended engine oil specifications.
Does the 20L size make it less fresh?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed, the oil will maintain its quality. The 20L size is typically for workshops or users who perform multiple oil changes.
Troubleshooting
Engine oil warning light remains on after oil change.
Ensure the correct oil level is reached after filling. Some vehicles may require the oil service indicator to be reset. Consult your vehicle's manual for the reset procedure.
Reduced fuel efficiency.
While this oil is designed to aid fuel economy, other factors like tire pressure, driving style, and air filter condition can also impact it. Ensure all other maintenance is up to date.
Difficulty starting in cold weather.
This oil has improved cold flow properties, but extreme sub-zero temperatures can still affect engine startup. Ensure the vehicle battery is in good condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
