What kind of oil is best for the Peugeot 3008?
2 Answers
Peugeot 3008 uses Castrol or Shell oil with a grade of 5w30. This type of oil is suitable for all seasons, with excellent low-temperature fluidity, reducing engine resistance, thus providing faster acceleration and better fuel efficiency at a very affordable price. Below is more information about car engine oil: 1. The engine is the heart of a car, and the oil is its blood, playing a crucial role, the most notable being the reduction of wear between parts. 2. Engine oil also serves to cool and lower temperature, absorb shocks, prevent rust and corrosion, seal and prevent leaks, lubricate to reduce friction, and clean, all of which are indispensable needs for a car. 3. Engine oil can be categorized into three types: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil, with semi-synthetic oil being the most commonly used type.
I drive a 2018 Peugeot 3008 to work every day. When I bought the car, the 4S store said to use 5W-30 synthetic oil that meets the European standard ACEA A5/B5, which is also emphasized in the manual. I once used cheaper mineral oil to save money, but the engine noise increased, fuel consumption rose by about 1 liter, and acceleration became jerky. After switching back to the recommended oil, cold starts became much faster—I could drive off immediately in winter, and the engine runs much smoother. I change the oil every 8,000 kilometers on average, at a moderate price, and maintenance is simple, extending the car's lifespan. I recommend not switching to higher-viscosity oil casually to avoid major repair costs affecting the vehicle.
