Complete Oil Specifications
Your 2023 Peugeot 3008 1.6 PureTech 180 requires 5W-30 oil certified to PSA B71 2290 / ACEA C2. The PureTech engine family has a strong preference for mid-SAPS, lower-viscosity 5W-30 chemistry — do not substitute 0W-20 ACEA C5 oils (PSA B71 2010), which target different engine generations.

Why PSA B71 2290 / 5W-30 is Critical for This Engine
The EP6FADTXD PureTech unit is a turbocharged 1.6L petrol engine shared across the PSA group. PSA B71 2290 (ACEA C2) delivers mid-SAPS chemistry — sulphated ash ≤0.8%, controlled phosphorus — that protects the three-way catalytic converter from metallic fouling while maintaining sufficient film thickness for the close-tolerance piston rings and valve train.
PSA B71 2290 is specifically a 5W-30 standard. Using 0W-20 ACEA C5 oils (B71 2010) will:
- ❌ Operate below the required HTHS viscosity (≥3.5 mPa·s required by C2; C5 requires only ≥2.6 mPa·s)
- ❌ Provide insufficient film strength under turbocharger heat cycling
- ❌ Potentially cause timing chain elongation issues the PureTech family is known for

Pro Tip: The PureTech oil filter is a cartridge type accessible from above — 27 mm socket. The EP6 family is known for timing chain tensioner issues; keeping the oil level at the upper mark and using the correct spec reduces chain stretch risk significantly.
FAQs
What oil does a 2023 Peugeot 3008 1.6 PureTech 180 take?
5W-30 full synthetic meeting PSA B71 2290 (ACEA C2). Not 0W-20.
