Description

Motul SPECIFIC 9.55535/03 5W-30 is a fully synthetic engine oil from the Specific line, built around a car maker's standard. It is intended for BlueHDi diesels with SCR and some PureTech petrol engines in Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel, Fiat and Jeep models, and has a fuel-saving formulation.

The oil is rated ACEA C3. It meets the requirements of Stellantis FPW9.55535/03 and PSA B71 2297; the maker does not state an official approval. It is compatible with particulate filters and SCR systems.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 12 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 163, HTHS 3.5 mPa·s, pour point -45 °C, base number 9 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 0.69 %. Available in 1 and 5 litres.

Application

Stellantis cars (Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel, Fiat, Jeep) with SCR-equipped BlueHDi diesels and some PureTech petrol engines, where the manufacturer requires FPW9.55535/03.

Worth knowing

Next to FPW9.55535/03, the data sheet lists the code B71 2297, which PSA, according to Motul, uses in some hot countries where fuel quality is poorer, with bio-components or a higher sulphur content. For the /03 standard, according to the same source, Stellantis requires an oil with higher resistance to oxidation and thermal stress than for other PSA standards such as B71 2290 or 2312.

The neighbouring SPECIFIC 2290 5W-30 is made to a different standard, and its PSA code B71 2290 has the status of an official approval; its class is ACEA C2 with HTHS of 3 mPa·s, against C3 and 3.5 mPa·s for this oil. This oil carries both of its codes in the “performances” line, that is, as meeting the requirements by Motul’s own declaration, without a carmaker approval. For how /03 relates to the B71 codes it replaced, see the article on PSA and Stellantis approvals; the page Stellantis FPW9.55535/03 marks which oils hold an official approval and which merely meet the requirements.
