What type of engine oil is used for the Peugeot 308?
1 Answers
The Peugeot 308 uses engine oil of the specification 5W30, with the recommended maintenance oil being Total SL-5W-30. Here are the reasons: 1. Compared to 5W40, 5W30 has the same low-temperature fluidity but differs in high-temperature performance, where 5W40 offers better high-temperature protection and sealing. 2. Due to increased viscosity leading to higher engine running resistance and increased fuel consumption, 5W30 is relatively more suitable for the Peugeot 308's engine. Approximately 4L of oil is required when changing the oil for the Peugeot 308. Additional information: Naturally aspirated engines have relatively modest requirements for oil quality and can use mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, or fully synthetic oil.
