2016 berlingo 1.6 hdi oil change time

[cancunia]

Yeah, was thinking that I might get the Total oil this time, despite the designer label. Looks like Neilsens have gone bust so not sure where the best place to get it is?

Did a change last week and got mine off eBay £26 Inc p&p

I buy mine, albeit not for my van - dealership can look after that from Trucut Tools in Ferndown

They're my go to tool supplier but they also supply my cutting and lubrication oils by Fuchs

Titan GT1 is usually around £96 for 20 litres

Hi Guys,

A quick heads up, National tyres appears to have changed their oil supplier instead of PSA approved Fuchs gt1 oil they now offer LUKOIL GENESIS SPECIAL C2 5W-30 which is designed to meet the requirements but is not PSA approved, it is unknown if they are still using Mann filters or not, the price has also increased by around £5, by happy coincidence £5 can be removed from the bill by using promo code DV476 and a further £1.70 can be saved by un ticking the oil disposal charge, this in my case brings the total down to £41.75.

Who are LUK OIL?
They are the second largest russian oil company and have their own chain of petrol stations. They are massive across eastern Europe including Bulgaria where I am now, they are also present in Belgium.

They are trusted across eastern Europe, though the locals tell me to use rompetrol for fuel as they regard Romanian oil stock of better quality than russian ( this may hark back to Communist times when mother Russia always kept back the best stuff for themselves) rather than export.

I don't know if I would use their oil in my Berlingo but I have certainly used their fuel in both my Berlingo my van and hire vehicles without any problems.

We have been using this for a while, very pleased with it , and had no issues.
Probably used at least 5000 litres of it so far. It is C2 & C3 spec.
Euro have some great customer deals on from time to time.

Many thanks Lighty & before ECP realise what's going on I've ordered 4l with their holiday70 code for £15.60 This is way cheaper than any other C2 / C3 oil that I've seen.

Thanks also to everyone else that's taken the time to contribute. Ive done a bit of digging on the subject and come back to the basic spec for the DV6ATED4 1.6 oil which is 5W-30 C2 or 0W-30 C2. The 0W-30 will work better at lower temperatures, but the 5W is good down to -30c so it'll probably be fine in the UK.

You can get to this by looking on https://www.total.co.uk/lub-advisor The Citroen web site also directs you to the Total site

Lightly, would you say this gulf oil is superior to ECP Triple QX of the same spec?

100% I have no beef with the Triple QX personally, but the word in the trade is that it isn’t great.
