Purpose and Specifications

Motul Specific 2312 PSA 0W30 is a fully synthetic fuel-economy engine oil engineered for modern PSA group vehicles (Peugeot, Citroën, DS). It meets the demanding PSA B71 2312 specification and ACEA C2 standard, making it the correct choice for BlueHDi diesel engines with SCR emission systems and petrol engines requiring this approval.

This oil flows instantly at cold temperatures (0°C and below), delivering faster oil pressure buildup and quicker engine warm-up. The synthetic formula resists breakdown at high operating temperatures (up to 100°C+), preventing sludge and varnish buildup that damages modern engines.

Key Benefits

• Fuel Economy: Reduced friction means lower fuel consumption and fewer CO2 emissions
• Engine Cleanliness: Prevents varnish and sludge deposits; reduces ring sticking risk
• Aftertreatment Protection: Mid-SAPS technology (reduced ash, phosphorus, sulfur) protects SCR catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters from clogging
• Extended Drain Intervals: Outstanding oxidation resistance allows you to follow PSA manufacturer recommendations without premature oil degradation
• Cold Start Performance: Excellent flow at startup ensures faster revving and immediate engine protection

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil if: Your vehicle is a Peugeot, Citroën, or DS model requiring PSA B71 2312 approval. Check your owner's manual for the exact specification—using the wrong oil voids warranties and damages emission systems.

Replacement interval: Follow your vehicle manufacturer's service schedule. Modern PSA vehicles typically require oil changes every 15,000–20,000 km or annually, whichever comes first. Do not exceed PSA's recommended drain interval, as this oil is engineered for those specific timeframes.

Storage: Keep unopened in a cool, dry place. Synthetic oils remain stable for 3–5 years if stored properly away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Important Notes

• Do not mix with non-PSA B71 2312 compliant oils—mixing degrades performance and can damage your engine
• Always consult your vehicle owner's manual before use to confirm this oil meets your specific engine requirements
• This 1-liter bottle is ideal for top-ups between services; use 4–5 liters for a complete oil change depending on your engine

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this oil in my older Peugeot or Citroën?
A: Only if your owner's manual specifies PSA B71 2312. Older vehicles may require PSA B71 2290 or other specifications. Using the wrong oil can cause engine damage.

Q: Why is this oil more expensive than regular mineral oil?
A: Synthetic oil lasts longer, protects modern emission systems, and improves fuel economy—saving you money on fuel and extending engine life. It's engineered for today's tight engine tolerances and strict emissions standards.

Q: What does 0W30 mean?
A: The 0W means it flows instantly in freezing conditions (down to 0°C), ensuring immediate engine protection at cold startup. The 30 means it maintains proper thickness at normal operating temperatures. This balance delivers both cold-start protection and fuel economy.
