What type of engine oil does the Peugeot 3008 use?

[VonPaige]

Peugeot 3008 recommends using 5W-30 engine oil. This oil is all-season oil with excellent low-temperature flow performance. The engine runs with minimal resistance. Additional information: Meaning of 5W-30 engine oil: 1. 5W-30 engine oil is multi-grade viscosity; 2. The '5' represents resistance to external low temperatures of -30 degrees Celsius. The smaller the number, the lower the ambient temperature it can be used in; 3. The '30' represents a kinematic viscosity standard of 30 at 100 degrees Celsius. This number indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance. The larger the number, the better the oil's protective performance at high temperatures.

I've been driving the Peugeot 3008 for several years, using 5W-30 synthetic oil. For gasoline engine models like the 1.6L turbocharged one, this is the right choice because the engine is quite precise, and using other grades can easily wear out parts. I usually change the oil every 12,000 kilometers, using brands like Total or Shell—the price is reasonable, and the performance is stable. During long summer trips, I check the oil level; if the oil temperature gets too high, adding a slightly higher viscosity oil is better for engine protection. By the way, don’t skimp on cheap oil to save money—repair costs will be much higher later. The 3008 drives smoothly, but maintenance can’t be neglected. Delaying it could lead to expensive engine repairs.

I switched to a Peugeot 3008 two years ago, and the new car manual recommends 5W-30 oil. I've been using this synthetic oil ever since—it's cost-effective, fuel-efficient, and makes driving smooth. I buy it in bulk at Costco and change it every six months for convenience, averaging about 10,000 kilometers per change. If you forget to change it, the oil quality degrades, leading to weaker acceleration and affecting driving safety, especially on highways. A reminder: this oil lubricates quickly during cold starts in winter, reducing engine wear.

The Peugeot 3008 petrol engine recommends 5W-30 synthetic oil, while the diesel version may use 5W-40. Changing the oil every 10-15k kilometers can extend the engine's lifespan.

My Peugeot 3008 has been running for three years. For safety reasons, I use 5W-30 synthetic oil to ensure peace of mind when my child is in the car. Cost-wise, a barrel costs less than 500 yuan, and changing it twice a year is sufficient. The money saved on repairs is enough to cover new tires. With proper engine maintenance, you can also save some fuel costs.

I chose 5W-30 low-ash synthetic oil for the Peugeot 3008 because it reduces exhaust emissions and is environmentally friendly. This oil provides strong engine protection and requires fewer oil changes, making it more eco-friendly, such as only needing to be changed every 15,000 kilometers. If other oils are added indiscriminately, pollution will increase.
