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 the following groups representing the main functions :
GENERAL - ENGINE - INJECTION - IGNITION - CLUTCH, GEARBOX, DRIVESHAFTS - AXLES, SUSPENSION, STEERING - BRAKES -

HYDRAULICS - ELECTRICAL - AIR CONDITIONING.

In each section, the vehicles are dealt with in the following order : XANTIA-XM-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

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.

LUBRICANTS - TOTAL recommended oils

S.A.E. Norm - Table for selection of engine oil grade

Factory evolutions in 2000 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%).

This oil is not used in the following engines :

- XU10 4 RS – XSARA VTS 2.0i 16V (3-door)

- SOFIM – RELAY 2.8 D and 2.8 TD.

Engine oil norms

These engine oils have been classified by the following recognised
organisations:

SAE : Society of Automotive Engineers.
API : American Petroleum Institute.
ACEA : Association des Constructeurs Européens

d'Automobiles

E4AP006D

22

GENERAL

ALL TYPES

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

onsumption.

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 eco-

nomy (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.

Recommendations.
Denominations of TOTAL oils, according to country of marketing :

TOT ALACTIVA (France only).
TOT ALQUARTZ (outside France).

IMPERATIVE : From 1999 model year, to preserve engine performance, all engines fitted in CITROEN vehicles must be
lubricated with high quality oils (synthetic or semi-synthetic)

These oils must comply with the following norms :

Petrol and dual fuel petrol / LPG engines: ACEA A3-98 and API SJ.
Diesel engines: ACEA B3-98 and API CF.

ATTENTION : Engines fitted in CITROEN vehicles prior to 2000 model year must not be lubricated with oil complying
with
standards ACEA A1-98 / B1-98 and API SJ/CF EC.
