Guys,

My friend workshop recommend to use Shell or Castrol 5W 30 fully synthetic oil as they don't have Mobil brand.

Is it suitable for  my Y2016 408 2.0 ?
Thanks.

No, if this 408 is Euro-related. May or may not include China Peugeout.
Check with your manual which should likely specify a Peugeot approved oil.

Hmm.... you mean to say your owner manual does not specify one of the following Peugeot oil specs:

QUOTE
PSA B71 2290
    Peugeot/Citroën engine oil specification introduced in 2009. B71 2290 is a low-SAPS oil intended for engines with diesel particulate filters and with Euro 5 emission standards. General specifications are: ACEA C2 or C3 with additional PSA tests.
PSA B71 2294
    Peugeot/Citroën engine oil specification introduced in 2009. Main specification: ACEA A3/B4 with additional PSA tests.
PSA B71 2295
    Peugeot/Citroën engine oil standard for engine before MY 1998. General specification: ACEA A2/B2.
PSA B71 2296
    Peugeot/Citroën engine oil specification introduced in 2009. General specifications: ACEA A3/B4 + additional PSA tests.


From which country is your 408 assembled/manuactured if it is not from Europe?

That's why I would be quite surprise if 'OP' 408 owner's manual does not specify Peugeot approved oils in B71 229x .....
leading to non-compliance (OEM).

Do give us a shout if you experience into any issues! How much does it cost. What is your present HP/NM ?

So far so good, hehehe. I frequent travel highway a lot, can really feel the power. Of course not much on the higher end of rpm, to achieve this our turbo need to chg also. Im so far happy with what I have.
My only mistake is I didnt start to do everything from Bros Auto, instead I started at different workshop. So my advice is, start from scratch with Bros Auto, as they can guide u better based on yr needs.
Last dyno done early this year, I clocked about 198hp at the crank cool2.gif

Thanks for the insight,

All this while the SC are using 5W30 for my 408 2.0 inspite of the high mileage >150KM.

By the way, I have another query on my engine loudness while idling.
Will changing the engine hood insulator help?
Thank you.

Sorry for the delayed reply bro, been away biggrin.gif
So far done, downpipe+open pod+remap+full decarb.
I dont consider decarb as a mod la, it shud be a mandatory maintenance for our pug.
Next upgrade will be turbo upgrade, probably after i upgrade the exhaust system. grin.gif

saw one youtubers upgraded his 408 with new bigger Turbo kit, all new exhaust system, upgrade cold air intake with box etc and remap. yes, it improves a lot on Torque, HP, but it is very pricey for all sets. not sure if it is worth it to considering the 2nd price of Peugeot

the youtuber is cardock ?
for me, stage 2 should be decat + open pod + remap ..
if change bigger turbo kit + intercooler then is something more serious .. stage 3 maybe ..
of course barang not only that for stage 3 ..

As the cardock 408 .. with the cost and the result .. i think not worth it ..
cause i saw many 408T user .. actually did achieve 200hp (+-) with stage 2 alone ..
walnut decabo (make sure engine is healthy too) + open pod + decat + remap ..

anyway just my 2cent la .. im not pro on this also ..
