Suitable lubricant

Question : I DRIVE a 2008 Peugeot 407 and the user's manual recommended that Total oil or lubricant be used.

However, the Naza Peugeot service center uses Petronas lubricant.

Is this correct ?

Answer : Normally vehicle manufacturers will make recommendations of particular brands of lubricants and this should not be taken that only that brand is suitable for the vehicle.

Vehicle manufacturers have tie-ups with particular brands for various reasons and usually this would be the first-fill oil in the manufacturing plant.

However, the choice of lubricants is usually left to the distributor and what is available in the market.

What is more important is the oil specifications that will be given in the Owners' Manual and as long as the lubricant meets those specifications, it will be suitable.
