The short answer

Which oil does a Citroen C1 take?

The oil your Citroen C1 needs depends on its engine and when it was built. Below is what the carmaker lists for each C1 engine — 2 generations and 5 engine types in our table — and the oils we sell that state it: NAPA from our Bulwell shelf, plus Castrol, Mobil and Valvoline delivered next day.

  • C1 Mk2 (2014–2022) — petrol: PSA B71 2290 (5W-30) or Stellantis FPW9.55535/03 (5W-30)
  • C1 Mk1 (2005–2014) — petrol: PSA B71 2290 (5W-30); diesel: PSA B71 2290 (5W-30)

The grade (such as 5W-30) and the approval (such as a carmaker code) both need to match your handbook. If your car has a particulate filter, the low-ash oil the handbook lists protects it.

By generation

Each C1 engine in our table with the approvals the carmaker lists for it (in the handbook or the service schedule), the usual one first, and the grades. Where we mark “check your handbook”, the approval changed during production or we could not confirm it in a carmaker’s own document. Check your exact car in the finder or WhatsApp us your reg.

Questions

Citroen C1 engine oil questions

What engine oil does a Citroen C1 take?

What grade of oil does a Citroen C1 use?

Most C1 engines in our table list 5W-30. Use the grade your handbook gives together with its approval: the same grade can carry different approvals.

Does my C1 need low-ash (low SAPS) oil?

If it has a particulate filter, yes: use the low-ash approval its handbook lists, such as PSA B71 2290. A high-ash oil can block the filter over time.
