Is that bad for a petrol DI engine? (1.3% saps)

Sorry my mistake, the castrol oil is edge titanium

208 GTi , 308gti and also ds3 1.6 thp performance 207bhp have different pistons/rods they are made to withstand the factory produced 210-268bhp power , same with rally cars the internals are strong enough from factory to withstand this power, thats why a 308gti piston is 3x times more expensive...

Eb2f is a di engine? Ep6dt is a di engine and very prone to carbon built on valves

Hello and thank you for your reply and suggestions.. As I mention in my thread I don't know much about engine oils, I try to follow tuner's forums and local engineers recommendations ... 1. You are right the Peugeot rc-z 270bhp and 308gti have a very similar engine with my car but with higher...

Another question , how can you understand if an oil is low/mid or full saps with acea b specs? Also I notice that most oil manufacturers do not give any data analysis on how much ash/phosphorus amount is on the oil they sell?

It's a normal price for premium oils, it's cheaper than castrol magnatec

I was looking at 5w40 with ester and extra zddp , although I don't know if this is a full or mid saps

Yes it's PSA EP6 engine Citroen DS3 1.6thp, 155bhp, Citroen recommends low sap oil to reduce carbon built and fuel economy, however I tuned my car to 233bhp and fuel economy is not my main concern, I want an oil with the best protection that's why I was looking at miller 5w40 CFS competition...

Yes am aware of that

Forgot to mention my engine is a direct injection engine, redline has a PSA approved but it's not the latest PSA approved. So zddp is not harmful can not cause accelerated carbon built on valves?

Hello, I don't know much about oils , I want to ask if engine oils such as redline that have more amount of zddp can accelerate/ cause the sludge/ash built on the engine's vavles? My car is a euro IV engine, 2012 year with low milage, 1.6 turbo.

I thought miller and redline oils were among the best ones for tuned engines?

I always change engine oil after 8 months as I don't drive my car everyday , I usually do around 3000-3500 kilometers between oil changes

Hi to all members I own a Citroen DS3 1.6 turbo car and upgraded a few parts (bigger turbo+bigger intercooler,induction 2.5inch exhaust,remap ) I went from stock 155bhp to 233bhp. For the last one and a half years I was using miller oil 5w40 triple ester nano tech , I didn't had any problems...

A few weeks ago I had a call with a Castrol technical rep and he advice me not to assume my engine is the same as the 208gti or any more powerful models having the same 1.6 turbo engine, the pistons on the more powerful engines are different and also the bore of the pistons so I should look at...

Hi again I write the brands also on my first sentence :). 1. Miller's oil . 2. Total 3. Ardeca , the only 0w30 is the total the other two are 5w30. Miller and Ardeca are c3, total is c2 I live in Greece mild winter temps and hot summer , but on a very hot day I will not push my car , looking...

Thanks for all your replies.. Ofcourse i have a tuned program for my upgrade parts so that the engine works fine and also I upgraded the cooling system with a bigger intercooler- wet wetter and upgraded radiator hoses. As for the oils there are so many and they all claim to be excellent in cold...

I need some expert advice regarding which oil is best to use for my car- it's not a simple answer btw so let me start with all the details: Car: Citroen ds3 1.6 thp power output 155bhp: Manufacturer recommends a 0w30 total oil c2 low saps oil. But... I have added a few performance upgrades on...

Hello again a quick update and a question.. I went for redline 5w30 ester oil...put it on my car on may...and did around 2000 kilometers Last week i got an engine code fault warning and after going to a dealer service workshop the code turned out to be a warning about slug-ash in the valves My...
