PRESENTATION
THIS HANDBOOK summarises the characteristics, adjustments, checks and special features of CITROEN vehicles, not including COMMERCIAL
vehicles for which there exists a separate handbook.
The handbook is divided into nine groups representing the main functions :
GENERAL - ENGINE - INJECTION - IGNITION - CLUTCH, GEARBOX, DRIVESHAFTS - AXLES, SUSPENSION, STEERING - BRAKES - ELECTRICAL 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
– SUPERFLUOUS INFORMATION
– NEED FOR MORE DETAILS

GENERAL
CAPACITIES
Draining method.
The oil capacities are defined according 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 be filled).
7) - Engine stopped (stationary for 5 mm).
ESSENTIAL : Systematically check the oil level using the oil dipstick.

GENERAL
ALL TYPES
Factory evolutions in 2001 model year
CITROËN engines are lubricated 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%).
Features 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 are high technology engines which
imperatively require use of quality SYNTHETIC OILS : TOTAL
ACTIVA or TOTAL QUARTZ 5W40.
To maintain engine performances, all countries in Europe
should observe this requirement.
NOTE : Only PORTUGAL and GREECE may use 10W40 semi-
synthetic oil.
ESSENTIAL : For all vehicles with a 30,000 km (20,000 miles)
maintenance interval, use exclusively TOTAL ACTIVA/QUARTZ
7000 or 9000 or any other oils offering identical specifications to
these.
These oils offer specifications that are superior to those defined
by norms ACEA A3/98 or API SJ.
Failing this, it is essential to adhere to the maintenance programmes covering severe operating conditions.
5W30 cannot be 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 year 2000 do not
have to be lubricated with oils adhering to the norms ACEA A198/B1-98 and API SJ/CF EC.

Selection of engine oil grades recommended for climatic conditions in countries of distribution
ACEA Norms
The first letter corresponds to the type of engine concerned :
A : petrol and dual 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 number 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.
Example :
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 by the engine :
S : petrol and dual fuel petrol / LPG engines.
C : diesel engines.
The second letter corresponds to the degree of evolution, in ascending
order.
Example : 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.
Examples :
API SJ / CF : Blended oils for diesel and dual 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.
