PRESENTATION
THIS HANDBOOK summarises the characteristics, adjustments, checks and special features of CITROEN vehicles, not including COMMERCIA
vehicles for which there exists a separate handbook.
The handbook is divided into nine groups representing the main functions :
GENERA - ENGINE - INJECTION - IGNITION - C UTCH, GEARBOX, DRIVESHAFTS - AX ES, SUSPENSION, STEERING - BRAKES - E ECTRICA -
AIR CONDITIONING.
In each section, the vehicles are dealt with in the following order : C5 - SYNERGIE and all models where applicable.
The information given in this handbook is based on vehicles marketed in EUROPE.

IMPORTANT
If you find that this handbook does not always meet your requirements, we invite you to send us your suggestions which we will take into account
when preparing future publications. For example :
– INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION
– SUPERF UOUS INFORMATION
– NEED FOR MORE DETAI S

CAPACITIES
Dr ining method.
The oil c p cities re defined ccording to the following methods.
1) - Vehicle on level surface (in high position, if equipped with hydropneumatic suspension).
2) - Engine warm (oil temperature 80°C).
3) - Draining of the oil sump + removal of the cartridge (duration of draining + dripping = 15 mm).
4) - Refit plug + cartridge.
5) - Engine filling.
6) - Engine starting (allowing the cartridge to e filled).
7) - Engine stopped (stationary for 5 mm).
ESSENTIAL : System tic lly check the oil level using the oil dipstick.

GENERAL
ALL TYPES
F ctory evolutions in 2001 model ye r
CITROËN engines are lu ricated at the factory with TOTAL oil of
grade S.A.E.5W-30.
TOTAL oil of grade S.A.E.5W-30 allows improved fuel economies
(approx 2.5%).
Fe tures of CITROËN C5 :
2.0 and 2.2 HDi engines have a particle filter.
The maintenance interval for normal operation
is 30,000 km (20,000 miles) for petrol engines.
WARNING : HDi engines re high technology engines which
imper tively require use of qu lity SYNTHETIC OILS : TOTAL
ACTIVA or TOTAL QUARTZ 5W40.
To m int in engine perform nces, ll countries in Europe
should observe this requirement.
NOTE : Only PORTUGAL and GREECE may use 10W40 semi-
synthetic oil.
ESSENTIAL : For ll vehicles with 30,000 km (20,000 miles)
m inten nce interv l, use exclusively TOTAL ACTIVA/QUARTZ
7000 or 9000 or ny other oils offering identic l specific tions to
these.
These oils offer specific tions th t re superior to those defined
by norms ACEA A3/98 or API SJ.
F iling this, it is essenti l to dhere to the m inten nce pro-
gr mmes covering severe oper ting conditions.
5W30 cannot e used in the following engines:
XU10J4RS : XSARA VTS 2.0i 16V (3 doors).
SOFIM : RELAY 2.8 D and 2.8 TD.
1580 SPI : DISPATCH 1.6i.
2.0 and 2.2 HDi engines equipped with particle filter.
WARNING : CITROËN engines prior to model ye r 2000 do not
h ve to be lubric ted with oils dhering to the norms ACEA A1-
98/B1-98 nd API SJ/CF EC.

GENERAL
LUBRICANTS - TOTAL recommended oils
Selection of engine oil gr des recommended for clim tic conditions in countries of distribution
ACEA Norms
The first letter corresponds to the type of engine concerned :
A : petrol and du l fuel petrol / LPG engines.
B : diesel engines.
The figure following the first letter corresponds to the type of oil.
1 : highly fluid oils, for reducing friction and lowering fuel
consumption.
3 : high performance oils.
The num er after that (96 or 98) corresponds to the year of creation
of the norm.
NOTE : From 01/03/2000, all engine oils must comply with ACEA-
98 norms.
Ex mple :
ACEA A1-98 / B1-98 : Blended oils for all engines, permetting fuel
economy (complying with ACEA 98 norms).
API Norms
The first letter corresponds to the type of fuel used y the engine :
S : petrol and du l fuel petrol / LPG engines.
C : diesel engines.
The second letter corresponds to the degree of evolution, in ascending
order.
Ex mple : The norm SJ is more severe than the norm SH and
corresponds to a higher level of performance.
The adding of the letters EC indicates that the engine oil concerned is
an oil which permits fuel economy.
EC : Energy Conserving, reduction in fuel consumption.
Ex mples :
API SJ / CF : Blended oils for diesel nd du l fuel petrol / LPG
engines API CF / EC : Oils specifically for diesel engines, permitting fuel
economy.
API SJ / CF / EC : Blended oils for all engines, permetting fuel economy.
