Hi I hope this is not a stupid question but what do others use ? A google search seems to point to Total 7000, I live in the UK and the Berlingo is a 2007 90 HP model I am not sure if it has a particle filter any advice would be much appreciated .regards Jamie

Although I haven't changed my oil yet, it is coming due. I bought a 5l container of TOTAL Quartz Ineo ECS 5W-30 after getting a consensus of opinion over on the German language forum. It is supposed to be specifically designed for HDi motors with particle filters from Cit/pug. I've got a 2010 Berli with an HDi 110 with particle filter.
P.S. As far as I'm concerned there are no stupid questions. I'm never afraid to ask about something when I don't know the answer. That's how I found out about the oil I'm going to use.

Thanks for the advice I did look at that document but was still unsure I think Total 7000 should be OK just out of interest do you order your oil online or source locally? thanks Jamie

I order mine online and have it delivered to Germany. Prices are ridiculous here in Switzerland.

Still undecided I am now leaning towards Total 9000 as we often only do short journeys 1-2 miles I am thinking that Total quarts 9000 5w40 would be better, am I right in thinking that the first number means that it is thinner when cold ?
