* Engine Specifics: The correct oil depends on your specific engine model and its specifications. You need to know the exact engine code (usually found on your engine block or in your owner's manual).
* Viscosity: The viscosity (thickness) of the oil is crucial. This is usually indicated with a number like 5W-30 or 10W-40. Your owner's manual or a reputable mechanic will be able to tell you the correct viscosity for your engine.
* Oil Type: The type of oil (synthetic, semi-synthetic, mineral) also matters. Again, your owner's manual is the best source of information.
How to Find the Correct Oil:
1. Consult your Owner's Manual: The most reliable source of information is your vehicle's owner's manual. It will list the recommended oil type, viscosity, and any specific requirements for your engine.
2. Check Your Engine Block: Look for a sticker or marking on your engine block that might contain the engine code. This code can help you identify the correct oil using online resources or by contacting a Peugeot dealership.
3. Contact a Peugeot Dealership: You can contact your local Peugeot dealership or a reputable mechanic. They can provide you with specific recommendations based on your vehicle's details.
Important: Using the wrong type or viscosity of oil can damage your engine. It is crucial to use the correct oil specified by Peugeot for your 2001 307 1.4 petrol.
