5 w 30   but MUST be low saps oil.  better off going to the dealers for it as you will know its the right oil

It should say in the Maintenance and Warranty guide with the service stamps. Usually Total INEO ECS 5w30. One of the lowest prices is from Nielson via the internet and from them it arrives in about 2 days. https://www.nielsencdg.co.uk/acatalog/Total-Quartz-Ineo-ECS-5W30-Engine-Oil-Peugeot--HDI-Citroen-5L-TOT_151261.html At a dealer you could pay around twice their cost.

OK   the reason   I inquired  about the oil  was   because   I saw that it was low  after   getting the  "service"  warning light  was coming on  intermittently,  so that was the first  thing  i checked,    but    after   getting the correct oil    and bringing    up to the  correct level   the  " SERVICE "  light   is still  coming on   now and  again,   I remember this  happening   some time ago   then  it stopped  and hasn't been on   for months,  I service   my  own   car   so have you chaps   any  Idea  what  could be  causing this  before I take it to the garage ,  cheers

Have you checked if there are any warning messages to go with the Service light ? Somewhere through the radio menu you ought to be able to read any.

 

Things I can think of that could bring up the message could include brake pad wear if the pads have wear indicators (or a wire problem), low battery voltage - a possibility since the battery is about 8 years old and the message is likely to come on as the car is started when the voltage will drop and will probably be worse on the first start each day and when cold weather, low brake fluid level, the service indicator possibly not being reset, possibly a light bulb failed, electric handbrake fault, etc.

 

If you are thinking of changing your car to one with a blue hdi engine, these use Total 0w30 First oil so I would not stock up with 5w30 oil for your existing engine. Our C3 has been changed and I had bought enough 5w30 oil for it and the C5 for a year to cover servicing/use, but now the C3 has gone I have enough oil for 4 years, hope it does not go off.
