Hello to you all...
This is a boring and silly question I know but what oil type should I be using on my 1993 Peugeot 205 diesel?!
I think it should be 10W-40(?) but can any of you good people confirm this or correct me please.
Sorry for the banal question, I really should know this!!!
Thanks in advance.

Fairly sure in my apprentice days at a Peugeot dealer, the oil gun had 10w40 in it for most of the range. Then the HDi came out and that was 5w30  I'd be inclined to go for a good quality semi synth 10w40 though  |

Yup, I used 10W40 in my XU engines and it was fine. That was for a 205 GTi, 306 GTi and a DTurbo . |

I believe it’s the second oil viscosity number you want to step up a level on in a worn engine rather than the first - I.e. in this case 10-50 - as the first number is the cold rating. |
