The short answer

Which oil does a Peugeot 208 take?

The oil your Peugeot 208 needs depends on its engine and when it was built. Below is what the carmaker lists for each 208 engine — 2 generations and 10 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.

  • 208 Mk2 (2019–now) — petrol: Stellantis FPW9.55535/03 (5W-30) or PSA B71 2010 (0W-20); diesel: Stellantis FPW9.55535/03 (5W-30)
  • 208 Mk1 (2012–2019) — petrol: PSA B71 2290 (5W-30) or Stellantis FPW9.55535/03 (5W-30); diesel: PSA B71 2290 (5W-30), PSA B71 2312 (0W-30) or Stellantis FPW9.55535/03 (0W-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

Peugeot 208 engine oil by generation and engine

Each 208 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

Peugeot 208 engine oil questions

What engine oil does a Peugeot 208 take?

It depends on the engine and generation. 208 Mk2 (2019–now) — petrol: Stellantis FPW9.55535/03 (5W-30) or PSA B71 2010 (0W-20); diesel: Stellantis FPW9.55535/03 (5W-30). 208 Mk1 (2012–2019) — petrol: PSA B71 2290 (5W-30) or Stellantis FPW9.55535/03 (5W-30); diesel: PSA B71 2290 (5W-30), PSA B71 2312 (0W-30) or Stellantis FPW9.55535/03 (0W-30). Check your exact car, or WhatsApp us your reg and we’ll check.

What grade of oil does a Peugeot 208 use?

Most 208 engines in our table list 5W-30; others list 0W-30 or 0W-20. Use the grade your handbook gives together with its approval: the same grade can carry different approvals.

Does my 208 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 or PSA B71 2312. A high-ash oil can block the filter over time.
