Citroen DS4 Oil Type Finder

About The Citroen DS4

Not only does the DS4 come off the same assembly line as the Opel Astra, it is also based on the same underlying platform. Which the Astra actually inherited from the Peugeot 308. The DS4 looks bigger than you might think at first. The wide grill at the front looks like the DS 4 has a big mouth. In truth, however, the compact car from DS is a very brave one, because with its manageable length of around 4.4 meters, it can still be easily driven around the city - and the DS 4 city car may even fit into somewhat smaller parking spaces.

If you have the oil changed on your DS4 in a specialist workshop, you can be sure that they will only use oil types for which Citroën has given official manufacturer approval. However, since garages and workshops charge a lot for this service and the oil, you could consider changing your oil yourself or at least supplying your own oil.

How Much Oil Does The Citroen DS4 Need?

Depending on the type of transmission, construction phase and engine equipment, there may be differences in how often Citroën requires an oil change for the DS4. A DS4 built up to January 2015 with the 1.2 liter THP petrol engine and manual transmission needs fresh lubricant every 12 months or every 20,000 km. From February 2012, Citroën is extending the oil change interval on these DS4 versions to every 25,000 km or annually.

Which Oils Are Approved By Citroen?

How many liters of engine oil and which oil type you need to use for servicing your DS4 depends on the engine you have. A Citroëon with 1.2 liters of THP, for example, requires around 3.5 liters of lubricant of the PSA B712290 or 2312 standards per oil change. Always use engine oil with the correct approval for your Citroën DS4!
