Oil Spec Revised by Authorised Service 0w30 -> 5w30

ablkbs · Mar 1, 2021

Hi,

I have a 2017 Peugeot 308 Allure, 1.6 BlueHDI 120hp. Last time I visited service for 45k KM periodical maintenance oil spec changed from 0w30 to 5w30.

I was using Total 0w30 until now but the Service informed me that Peugeot advise 5w30 from now on.

I have used many cars, I have always used the oil advised by the manufacturer but this is the first time I see a oil spec change.

This may be because of the geographical reasons, but I have never heard before.

Is there anyone who knows why and have you ever seen an oil spec change during car's lifetime?

Best regards,

Total lub advisor says that Quartz Ineo First 0W30 is correct oil for DV6FC engine.

In "hot countries", I believe Total INEO HTC 5W30 is now being used.

The official terms are high temperatures and "severe fuels" like bio fuel and high sulphur fuel.

I believe this oil is being used in Australia, with fuel quality still subject to regulations from the dark ages.

It's my fault that although the car is 1.6 BlueHDI 120, I have written 1.5 BlueHDI. Engine is DV6FC.
