LUBRICANTS – TOTAL recommended oils
NOTE : See specific CITROËN C5 maintenance bulletins for oil recommendations by engine-type and by country.
Selection of engine oil grades recommended for climatic conditions in countries of distribution
ACEA Norms
The first letter corresponds to the type of engine concerned :
A : petrol and dual fuel petrol / LPGengines.
B : dieselengines.
The figure following the first letter corresponds to the type of oil.
1 :highly fluid oils, for reducing friction and lowering fuel
consumption.
3 : high performance oils.
The number after that (96or 98) corresponds to the year of creation of
the norm.
NOTE : From01/03/2000, all engine oils must comply with ACEA-98
norms.
Example :
ACEA A1-98 / B1-98 : Blended oils for all engines, permetting fuel
economy(complying with ACEA 98 norms).API Norms
The first letter corresponds to the type of fuel used by the engine :
S : petrol and dual fuel petrol / LPG engines.
C : diesel engines.
The second letter corresponds to the degree of evolution, in ascending order.
Example :The normSJis more severe than the norm SH and corres-
ponds to a higher level of performance.
The adding of the letters ECindicates that the engine oil concerned is an
oil which permits fuel economy.
EC : Energy Conserving,reduction in fuel consumption..
Examples :
API SJ / CF : Blended oils for dieseland dual fuel petrol / LPG engines.
API CF / EC : Oils specifically for dieselengines, permitting fuel
economy.
API SJ / CF / EC :Blended oils for all engines, permetting fuel economy.

GENERAL
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
I-Oil consumption depends on :
- the engine type.
- how run-in or worn it is.
- the type of oil used.
- the driving conditions.
II -An engine can be considered RUN-INafter:
- 3,000 miles(5,000 km) for aPETROLengine.
- 6,000 miles (10,000 km) for a DIESELengine.
III - MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLEoil consumption for a RUN-INengine.
- 0.5 litres per600 miles (1,000 km) for a PETROL engine.
- 1 litre per 600 miles(1,000 km) for a DIESEL engine.
DO NOT WORK BELOW THESE VALUES.
IV - OIL LEVEL :The level shouldNEVER be above theMAX. mark on the dipstick after changing or topping up the oil.
- This excess oil will be used up rapidly.
- It will reduce the engine output and adversely affect the operation of the air circuits and gas recycling.

RECOMMENDATIONS - PRECAUTIONS (AL 4 AUTOMATIC GEARBOX)
Engines : 6FZ - RFN - RHZ
Procedure to be followed prior to carrying out repairs on AL4 autoactive gearbox
CLUTCH
GEARBOX
DRIVESHAFTS
If a gearbox malfunction occurs, there are two possible configurations
depending on the seriousness of the fault :
- Gearbox in back-up mode with a replacement programme of
(the fault values are taken in substitution).
- Gearbox in back-up mode with an emergency programme
(3rd hydraulic).
WARNING : In the emergency programme, an impact is felt when
changing P/R, N/RandN/D.
Réception client.
Discuss with the customer, to find out all the malfunction symptoms..
Oil quality – Oil level.
If the gearbox has suffered a serious fault resulting in a malfunction or
the destruction of a clutch, the oil will overheat and become
contaminated with impurities : the oil is said to be «burnt».
This is characterised by a black colour and the presence of an
unpleasant smell.
ESSENTIAL : The gearbox must be replaced.Oil quality.
See corresponding operation.
An excessive oil level can result in the following consequences :
- Excessive heating of the oil.
- Oil leaks.
An insufficent level causes the destruction of the gearbox.
Top up the level of oil in the gearbox (if necessary).
Check using a diagnostic tool.
Read the fault codes (engine and gearbox).
Absence de codes défauts.
Carry out parameter measures, actuator tests and a road test.
Presence of fault codes.
Carry out the necessary repairs.
Delete the fault codes.
Carry out a road test to check the repair and, if need be, modify the
gearbox ECU parameters (this is essential after an initialisation of the ECU).

CONDITIONING

ESSENTIAL: The compressor lubricant is extremely hygroscopic; always use FRESH oil.
SPECIAL FEATURES : AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (R 134.a)
Compressor lubricant.
Checking the compressor oil level.
There are three specific cases :
- 1/Repairs to a system without leaks.
- 2/Slow leak.
- 3/Fast leak.
1/ Repairing a system without leaks..
a) - Using draining/recovery equipment not fitted with an oil decanter.
- Drain the system as slowly as possible via the LOW PRESSURE valve, so as not to lose any oil.
- No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.
b) - Using draining/filling equipment fitted with an oil decanter.
- Drain the R 134.a fluid from the system in accordance with the instructions in the equipment handbook.
- Measure the amount of oil recovered.
- Add the same amount of NEW oil when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.
c) - Replacing a compressor.
- Remove the old compressor, drain it and measure the oil quantity.
- Drain the new compressor (supplied full), so that the same amount of NEW oil is left in the compressor as was in the old compressor.
- No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.

Checking the compressor oil level (continued)
2/ Slow leak.
- Slow leaks do not lead to oil loss, therefore the same procedure should be followed as if there was no leak at all.
3/ Fast leak.
This type of leak causes both oil loss as well as allowing air to enter the system.
It is therefore necessary to :
- Replace the dryer.
- Drain as much oil as possible (when replacing the faulty component).
Either before or during filling of the system with R 134.a fluid, introduce 80 ccof NEW oil into the system.
