Engine Oil For C5 Hdi

[voguev8]

Hi

As a new owner of a 2003, 2.0 HDi auto I want to give it a service.

From my handbook it states the 2.0 HDI with auto box is not fitted with FAP?.

So if thats the case is it ok to use any good quality 5/30 or 10/40 diesel oil semi synthetic. Or do 

I need to get something special.

Thanks

That's right!   Particle filters weren't fitted to nearly all 2litre HDIs till the facelift in 2004.  It was only the 2.2 models that had them in 2002.   The recommended oil for the diesel C5s is a multigrade 5W/40 to B3 or CF grade.

Eurocarparts are doing 25% off 5 litres of oil plus a free filter

You need to order online though

I do not know if this applies in all their stores, but the prices at our local one seem to be always different to the website, sometimes more and sometimes less, so it could be worth phoning first.

Eurocarparts always seem to have a sale on their website, and if you click and collect from your nearest store, you get the advertised discount.   A few weeks ago I clicked then went to collect.   I also asked for a couple of things which I didn't previously order.   They charged full price for them although I would have got a good discount on the web.
