Hi all,
I have a 2002 1.4 206 HDI that is to be serviced soon and am a little
confused about which type of oil it uses. In the owners manual there
is a list of various recommended oils by esso, total, etc.. however at
the bottom in the small print it says "DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC BASED OIL
ON THE 1.4 HDI ENGINE".

Now, I'm reading this to mean all synthetic based oils ie only use
mineral based oils. Is this correct?

Many thanks in advance

It means that you can not use oil that is either sythetic base or fully
synthetic. You should only use stanard mineral based oils. ITs
good...its cheaper!
