Oil grade is very dependent on climate so what is right for us in the UK is probably not right for you in Cairo!

 

I had a quick google and I couldn't find the page from the 306 user guide but this is from the 206 guide and shows the kind of thing you need to find but for the 306 engine - http://www.peugeot206cc.co.uk/repair-206/206/info/gb/b1fb0ik3.htm

 

The grade (viscosity index) must be selected in accordance with the climate of the country of use .

Australia is classed as a 'hot' climate country and I expect Egypt would be as well. (Not so atm as it's 10°C)! The recommended oil grade is still 10W/40 but oil change intervals are every 10,000kms.

 

Even when I used my GTi6 for club sprints, I kept with 10W/40, but dumped the oil & filter after each event.

 

I'd stick with the recommended oil-no need for fancy stuff unless it's a full-on race car.

Isn't 100-105 deg C of oil temp the same anywhere in the world?

I was quoting the manufacturers user manual:

The grade (viscosity index) must be selected in accordance with the climate of the country of use .


Are you implying that is wrong?

differing ambient temperatures lead to different oil temps...

However, if you have your oil cooling setup correct, you should ultimately be running at 100-105. You might need a 13 row and I might need a 19 row to achieve the same result. Thus oil selection should be on engine spec., clearances etc., not ambient air temp.

It was the hottest day of the year in the UK yesterday, a major news item. It actually hit 28 degrees in some areas in the south for a while. Most of the year unless we run oil/water heat exchangers to warm the oil up it is much lower than 105 for a lot of the time. You need to drive at sustained high speeds or on track to even make the factory oil temp gauge move off of zero, a lot of people here think their gauge doesn't work. If you have a 13 row oil cooler here it needs to be covered with cardboard or something for a lot of the year to avoid overcooling the oil even with a thermostatic take off plate.

 

Are you saying that Peugeot (and EVERY other car manufacturer) got it wrong in their user guides when they included a table of oil grades and climates?

I actually hate oil topic conversations. There's so much conjecture. Just pick an oil and change it regularly.

I definitely agree with all of that :lol:

 

The weirdest thing about this topic is the lack of oil sales reps, I'm not complaining but it's a break from the norm!
