Recommendations for approved lubricants
The oils which appear in the table oppo-site are suitable for most purposes. The diagram opposite states the opti- mum range of viscosity depending on thetemperatures at which the oils are to beused. It is also possible to use synthetic oils of "superior quality". In the absence of semi-synthetic or syn-
thetic oils, oils of ACEA A1/A2 and API
SH/SJ/SL quality (for petrol engines), or
ACEA B1/B2 and API CD/CF quality (fordiesel engines) may be used by followingthe 'Arduous Conditions' servicingschedule, which specifies shorter serviceintervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from a
PEUGEOT dealer to maintain drivingpleasure and to minimise the mainte-nance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.
