Engine Oil - Do I need to Buy recommended?

[mk08]

Hi Everyone

I am looking to Buy engine oil for my Peugeot 108, 1.2L, 2014.
I looked at the manual to check the recommended Oil and found Peugeot recommends Total Quartz INEO and Quartz 9000 Or B71 2290, B71 2296.

My question is can I buy any other oil that is cheap?

Thank in Advance.

yes try somewhere like opie oils they can advise you

You should always buy oil that specifically conforms to the spec of your car. E.g. for my Mercedes, it needs MB229.51 oil, and then the viscosity should down to what you need.

Bung your reg into the Halfords website, or opie oils - they will point you into the right direction.

Any decent motor factors will pull up your car using the registration number and should be able to advise and supply it.
