Is my Citroen's oil ok?

Is my Citroen's oil ok?

My mechanic has put in o/w5 oil in my 2016 Citroen c4 Picasso is this acceptable?

Our answer:

Hi Tom,

You didn't say which engine your car has, so we can't look it up, but for example, the 1.6 diesel engine should get 0W-30 synthetic. As important as that 'SAE' rating however is the specification. The 1.6 diesel for example needs low-ash oil to protect the DPF. Its specification is PSA B71 2312.

If that doesn't cover your car come back to us with full details on the engine and we can check for you.
