I used 15w40 mineral in both my XUD engines, one was stock and the other Stage 2.
Put err, nearly 100k combined on those engines over 5 years of owning the cars.

Used some 2-stroke oil in the fuel as well, was running veg most of the time.

RE: What's your favorite Lube for your PUG ? - zx_volcane - 21-05-2015

my xuds have had a mixture over the years

anything from finishing off all the leftovers of various 15w40 10w40 5w40

to expensive gulf competition 5w40 - which my engine always seems to decide to let go off shortly later putting in

best thing you can do, regardless of what you put in, is change it reguarly

RE: What's your favorite Lube for your PUG ? - Mattcheese31 - 21-05-2015

10-40 whatever's on offer, and tuned yes lol, usually that carlube stuff I think it's called from ECP or Amazon Smile

RE: What's your favorite Lube for your PUG ? - bashbarnard - 21-05-2015

I always use 10\40. Usually whatever we have in the barrel at work which is synthetic. I change every 3000 miles. Which is a little overkill but I like peace of mind.

RE: What's your favorite Lube for your PUG ? - RetroPug - 21-05-2015

Engine: Stock gti6 engine.

Oil: Total 9000 fully synthetic as recommended by peugeot.

Comment: It isn't dead yet and it isn't noisy. Big Grin

RE: What's your favorite Lube for your PUG ? - shervo - 21-05-2015

Engine : stage 2 hdi.

Oil: used many since I've owned it shell/triple qx/technolube etc.

Comment: not noticed any difference between them but tend to stick with shell oil now.

RE: What's your favorite Lube for your PUG ? - Niall - 21-05-2015

Engine: Low boost supercharged XU10J4RS with standard internals
Oil: Shell Helix ultra fully synth
Comments: Changed every 4k with a genuine filter. If you buy it from Opie, you get a free 1L bottle with a nice carry bag to stick to the carpet on the side of the boot Smile

^^^ engines shouldn't burn oil no need to carry it Wink

I beg to differ, have you ever looked at Peugeot's specs for oil consumption? I'm guessing not lol, in an ideal world maybe they shouldn't but the smaller petrol's especially do and are expected to Smile

RE: What's your favorite Lube for your PUG ? - Chris_90 - 22-05-2015

I've used 5w-40 fully synthetic triple qx £12.50 for 5 liters from car parts for less never had an issue with it, gets swapped every 4,000miles tho.

It's usually 5W40 the quartz 90000
I've used that until recently. Now using Motul Sport 5W50 as it's better for heat break down, fuel contamination and I get it cheapish

Takes ages filling the engine with those little sachets though... Confused

On topic, I tend to use either Triple QX, Castrol Magnatec or Shell Helix, 10w40 on any 306 I've owned, whichever's cheapest/easiest. They don't seem as fussy on oil as certain other marques that I've owned lol. Can't say I noticed any difference between oils.

Think I might of bought 5w30 by mistake then, will it make any difference?

RE: What's your favorite Lube for your PUG ? - ozonehostile - 23-05-2015

All my cars run total 9k 5w40 so buy it in bulk haha

RE: What's your favorite Lube for your PUG ? - RetroPug - 23-05-2015

Total 9000 isn't too bad even buying single bottles. 23 delivered online for fully-synth, oem recommended isn't terrible imo.

RE: What's your favorite Lube for your PUG ? - JTaylor2005 - 23-05-2015

Using Shell Helix ultra 5w40 on mine.

Used shell helix ultra for 3 changes in my old corsa as well and had the quietest timing chain out of a lot of cars and was on about 125k. No complaints with it at all Smile
