            Lots of sites have a search option - Halfords is here

            Citroen Racing use Total, and we have a discount with them in the Full Members area

              My tip- use the specified TOTAL oil
              And ensure its at the FULL mark. No half measures
              That's the way the timing chain likes it

                Whats wrong with using another high quality oil Chris?

                  Nothing if it meets the manufacturers requirements, if you did use Total Oils you would be keeping it the same as the dealers are supposed to use though

                    And then if your chain makes a bid for freedom the dealer cannot say its because of the incorrect oil

                      Citroen may look at any/all reasons to explain an issues, inc using non recommended oil for the engine
                      Think its a pure synthetic now, where in the first engines, it was only part synthetic
                      Think theres an info rapide on it, but not sure (Also details keeping engine oil at max)
                      Some degrade quicker than others
