2021-2023 Citroen Berlingo Engine Oil Guidelines
Introduction
The engine oil for the 2021–2023 models is made to satisfy the exacting requirements of contemporary engines and was created to enhance the performance and efficiency of the Citroen Berlingo. This engine oil is essential for preserving the optimum performance and longevity of your car because it was designed to improve fuel efficiency, guarantee adequate engine protection, and preserve overall engine health. This engine oil, which was created using cutting-edge lubrication technology, offers superior wear protection while decreasing friction and lowering engine stress even under a variety of driving circumstances. Its highly calibrated mixture encourages cleaner engines and more effective combustion by preventing the accumulation of hazardous deposits and impurities.

Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in accordance with the manufacturer’s service schedule. Top them up if required, unless otherwise indicated.
Practical information
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the manufacturer’s requirements and with the vehicle’s engine.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any time (even with the ignition off).
Used Products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin. Most of these fluids are harmful to health and very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved for this purpose at a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Engine Oil
The level is checked, with the engine having been switched off for at least 30 minutes and on level ground, either using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel when the
Practical Information
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). It is recommended that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
Checking Using the Dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer to the illustration of the corresponding engine compartment.
- Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull it out completely.
- Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, lint-free cloth.
Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to visually check the oil level: the correct level is between marks A (max) and B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
- Above mark A: contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
- Below mark B: top up the engine oil immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine oil, check that the oil is suitable
for your engine and complies with the recommendations in the service schedule supplied with the vehicle (or available from your CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please refer to the corresponding engine compartment illustration.
- Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire).
- Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.
- Top up the level if necessary.
- After checking the level, carefully screw the oil filler cap back on and replace the dipstick in its tube.
The oil level indication displayed on the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on is not valid for 30 minutes following an addition of oil.
Engine coolant
- It is normal to top up this fluid between two services.
- The check and top-up must only be done with the engine cold.
- A level of coolant that is too low risks causing major damage to the engine; the coolant level must be close to the “MAX” mark without ever going above it.
- If the level is close to or below the “MIN” mark, it is essential to top it up.
- When the engine is hot, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
- As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work.
- In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
- Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up to the required level.
FAQs
For your Citroen Berlingo, the recommended engine oil is normally a premium synthetic oil with the viscosity grade listed in the owner’s manual. The most frequently suggested grades are 5W-30 or 0W-20.
Your Berlingo’s engine oil should typically be changed every 7,500 to 10,000 kilometers, or once every 12 months, whichever comes first. For information on the precise interval suggested for your vehicle, consult your owner’s handbook.
Although synthetic oil is frequently suggested for contemporary cars like the Citroen Berlingo because of its improved protection and performance, you can check your owner’s manual for any approved substitutes. However, synthetic oil performs better, particularly under harsh situations.
Place your car in park on a level area, let the engine cool, remove the dipstick, clean it, reinstall it, and remove it once more. On the dipstick, the oil level should lie between the two marks.
Engine performance and fuel efficiency can be impacted by using the incorrect viscosity oil. While oil that is too thin can cause an increase in engine wear, oil that is too thick can decrease fuel efficiency. Use the viscosity grade that is advised in your owner’s manual.
Yes, as long as the oil brands you choose adhere to the standards set forth for your Berlingo. Use only oils that are marked as satisfying the manufacturer’s specifications.
Depending on the engine type, the precise oil capacity may change. For information on the precise oil capacity of your Citroen Berlingo’s engine, consult your owner’s manual.
Even though synthetic oil typically lasts longer, it is still advised to change the oil at the manufacturer’s suggested interval. Driving conditions and other variables may have an impact on oil deterioration.
The repercussions of not changing the oil on time include increased engine wear, decreased performance, decreased fuel efficiency, and eventually, even engine damage.
Yes, recycling spent engine oil is possible. Recycling initiatives are in place at many auto parts retailers and service facilities to dispose of spent oil appropriately.
Even with older engines, some oil consumption between replacements might be reasonable. On the other hand, excessive oil use might point to a problem that need attention.
Unless specifically instructed by the car manufacturer, it is typically advised to avoid adding oil additives. Modern engine lubricants are manufactured without additives to offer essential protection.
The oil’s viscosity at various temperatures is represented by the oil grade, such as 5W-30. The numbers represent how the oil flows in high (W) and low (W) temperatures, and the “W” stands for winter. Thinner oil is indicated by lower numbers.
Ensure that you dispose of spent oil appropriately and adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions.
he greatest resource for information on the proper engine oil specs, grades, and capacities for your particular vehicle model and engine type is the owner’s manual for your Citroen Berlingo.
