PSA B71 2296, in general

[pep808]

Hi, lovely day to y´all

long time lurker, first time poster.

i have a car with psa puretech eb2 engine, n/a triple. more tech here - http://www.citroenet.org.uk/miscellaneous/puretech/puretech.html
while i am using motul xcess5w40, i have feeling this has not much pao or ester inside. kinda sad.

(at least what i could see in msds..) https://www.motul.com/sk/en/products/8100-x-cess-5w40
i´d like to give max protection possible, but staying safe.
you know; wet timing belt & lpg .. (imho, fullsaps &hi hths is the way to go; i am not positive about any acea c* in gasoline)

in mid-east europe, fuel is not top quality, it is normal practice to addive by yourself.
that´s why i have been thinking about using this ester as "oil additive".
oil sump is about ~3,5L (3,7qt), and put there a ~0,1L of ester could make peace of mind..?
https://www.motul.com/sk/en/products/sport-5w50 Can be mixed with synthetic or mineral lubricants.

manufacturer oci is 25000km

which is stupid imho. i´d like to keep below 15000km.

is xcess5w40 good enough? what about adding in that ester ?
i love to hear your opinions.

i need to keep the car for many years, crippling the maintenance is not a option.

Motul Xcess is plenty good enough, in my opinion. Especially if you are keeping OCIs to around 15,000 km.

Spend the extra money on maintaining the other systems regularly (air filter, cabin filter, coolant, gearbox, spark plugs, brake fluid).

As understood from this page...low saps formulations are more approoriate for your engine...

So I would look for oils with approvals like vw504 /507 or MB 229.51/52 or BMW LL-04...

Motul X-Clean instead of X-Cess

thanks for the respnses so far !
i bought the car new, in manual says: b71 2312 or b71 2296 or b71 2290 oil norms
i must obey the manuf specs. ---> guarantee

thankfully no dpf/gpf in exhaust, therefore low saps makes no benefit.
lpg should give more oil acids & flame temperature than gasoline, internet says.

back to the motul xcess5w40, how do i know it has any ester/pao ?
what if it is just grplll stronger additive blend ? or "rebranded" motul 6100?

oil is not cheap or expensive, i need peace of mind that i receive maximum for my money.

It hasn't.
The X-max 0W40 probably has some PAO, otherwise the 300V series, but they don't carry any approval.
