The most critical thing is a genuine Peugeot oil filter.Peugeot's own 10W/40 Total Quartz 7000 is what i've used for the last 5 years. Must be doing something right for my engine.  For a little more, iirc you can get 5W/40 Quartz 9000 I believe. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

Given your power I'd look at a fully synth oil. The most important thing is to get a diesel engine oil as the sulphur in diesel can degrade engine oil. Echoing above a genuine oil filter is a must. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

Just bought a pack of 10 as the HDi needs an oil change, the Rallye will, and my brothers HDi! ________________________________________ I'm Si btwNight Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |

Total quartz is a good bet though. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

i always go overkill, so i would recommend the 5w 40 9000 stuff. pugs stds were prob for ideal conditions and reg use so on older engines it prob a good idea to go over spec a bit. |
