Hello everyone, I have a Peugeot 207 1.6 naturally aspirated EP6 engine. The recommended oil is SAE 5W-30 ACEA A5/B5. The oil that has been using is the dealership's bulk, brand Total. The change interval is 10,000 km. (6,200 mi) which I plan to keep,
I live in the outskirts of Mexico City and I commute to the center, approximately 60 km round trip, 60% highway, 40% stop and go traffic. The highway part also features some steep inclines in which I have to give it the full beans to keep up.
The most common oil related fault in this engine is a clogged hydraulic chain tensioner that throws the camshafts out of sync.
The only oils that I can easily find over here that claim to pass the ACEA A5/B5 spec are Mobil 1 and Valvoline Synpower. The Mobil 1 is slightly more expensive but nothing that will break the bank. I don't know which one to choose, so all recommendations and insights are welcome.
Here are the PQIA links to each oil
