Total Quartz 10W40 as recommended by Peugeot. 5W30 may be too thin at higher temperatures to lubricate adequately. Have a read of this guide from Oilman and it explains in a bit more detail. www.206info.co.uk/Foru...57044.html

Shell Helix Ultra is excellent and I what I've been using exclussively for nearly 20 years now..
I found it's the best for the extreme conditions over here, and most people I know all agree on this.

I use 5W40 full synthetic in the 206 1.4i (TU3, 8-valve), and 5W30 on any other 16-valve engine which needs the thinner oil for the hydraulic tappets to work optimaly.

So yeah, depends what engine as Edward says but worth every penny even though quite expensive.
