GENERAL
Factory evolutions in 2001 model year
CITROËN engines are lubricated at the factory with TOTAL oil of
grade S.A.E.5W-30.
TOTAL oil of grade S.A.E.5W-30 allows improved fuel economies
(approx 2.5%).
Features of CITROËN C5 :
2.0 and 2.2 HDi engines have a particle filter.
The maintenance interval for normal operation
is 30.000 km (20.000 miles) for petrol engines.
WARNING : HDi engines are high technology engines which
imperatively require use of quality SYNTHETIC OILS : TOTAL
ACTIVA or TOTAL QUARTZ 5W40.
To maintain engine performances, all countries in Europe
should observe this requirement.
NOTE : Only PORTUGAL and GREECE may use 10W40 semi-
synthetic oil.
ESSENTIAL : For all vehicles with a 30.000 km (20.000 miles)
maintenance interval, use exclusively TOTAL ACTIVA/QUARTZ
7000 or 9000 or any other oils offering identical specifications
to these.
These oils offer specifications that are superior to those
defined by norms ACEA A3/98 or API SJ.
Failing this, it is essential to adhere to the maintenance pro-
grammes covering severe operating conditions.
5W30 cannot be used in the following engines:
XU10J4RS : XSARA VTS 2.0i 16V (3 doors).
SOFIM : RELAY 2.8 D and 2.8 TD.
1580 SPI : DISPATCH 1.6i.
2.0 and 2.2 HDi engines equipped with particle filter.
WARNING : CITROËN engines prior to model year 2000 do
not have to be lubricated with oils adhering to the norms
ACEA A1-98/B1-98 and API SJ/CF EC.
