Check Oil Type, Grade And Viscosity For Citroen DS7
If you look at the DS 7 Crossback, you could get the impression that this is a luxury SUV. The exterior design is so high-quality and extravagant. The DS is also a status symbol. In terms of its dimensions, however, the Crossback is still in the compact SUV segment.
The DS 7 Crossback has only been around in this form since 2017, after being unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. However, deliveries only began almost a year later in January 2018. The fact that the DS 7 Crossback hasn't existed for long is also due to the fact that the DS brand hasn't been around that long. It was only in 2014 that the line, which was inspired by the legendary sedan with the model name DS and originally existed as a luxury variant within Citroen, was detached as a private label.
The DS 7 Crossback now also belongs to its own brand, but of course it still shares the platform with the relatives of the PSA group. These include the Opel Grandland X, the Peugeot 5008 and the Citroen C5 Aircross. Of the above, the DS as a luxury model has the greatest amenities.
Motor oil is a vital part of your Citroen DS7's engine. It provides the much needed lubrication to many of the internal parts of an engine. One of its key jobs is to prevent wear and tear on the moving parts which helps keep the engine running smoothly. Without oil, the engine would cease up almost immediately.
Regularly checking and changing your Citroen DS7 engine oil is really important. Every time you start and run your car, very fine by-products from the combustion in the engine will be collected in the engine oil. This is one of the reasons why over time the oil goes black. If these contaminants build up too much and exceed the capacity of the oil it can have a negative impact on your car’s overall efficiency and actually effect its performance as it creates sludge and increased wear in the engine block.
Every engine oil will have its viscosity grade labelled on the packaging. This will look something like 0W-20, 5W-30 or 5W-40. This grading is used to measure how thick / fluid the oil is and help ensure you buy the right oil for your car. The lower the viscosity grade of the oil, the more fluid and thinner it will be than those with a high grade (higher numbers) which will be much less running and thick.
So which engine oil should you buy for your Citroen DS7? Whether you are topping up your Citroen DS7 oil or doing a full change of your Citroen DS7's oil it is really important that you use the correct grade of oil.
