I recently bought a peugeot 106 p reg 1.1 and haven't a clue what oil i need to buy. cheers?

i mechanic for a living,,and own a shop,,a good oil to run in it would be the Mobile one synthetic oil,it out last all the other oils on the market today,,and will improve the gas mileage as well as help it start better in cold weather,and you only have to change it every 7--9 thousand miles also,,i use it in everything i own,,and a lot of my customers also have switched to it,,its the best that i have found so far,,but it cost around 5 bucks a quart,,but if you want the best you have to pay for it,you,ll see a difference in the way it runs,and performs,,good luck hope this help,sI recently bought a peugeot 106 p reg 1.1 and haven't a clue what oil i need to buy. cheers?

If you cannot find a spec manual on the vehicle maybe you should have the engine checked out and go to a 10/30 synthetic oil. synthetic is the way to go.
Perhaps the previous owner might have a suggestion.


Or, if you must talk to the French, contact Peugeot.
Those Peugeot/Citroen TU engines are supposed to be run on 10W40, 15W40 or 15W50. Personally, I'd go for the 15W40. Texaco do their Havoline brand in that weight, and it's probably one of the cheapest brand-name oils you can get. Most Asda stores sell it in their car/diy section.





To be honest, any oil you can buy in your local Halfords that's the right weight will be just fine. I'd avoid really cheap no-name stuff, though the Carlube brand is supposed to be very reasonable for it's price.





Change your coolant mix as well - drain it all and put in fresh water/antifreeze if you can't be sure when it was last done.
5W/30
Look in the glove box for the manual which should say, or ask at the parts store, or even ask the person or dealer you bought it from.
