Just needed to pull of the valve cover of this car to lookup which type of valve cover gasket it had because it was leaking lightly.
That's also why this picture is not the best.
I was amazed at how clean this engine was after 19 years and 186k miles.
According to service book this car had its ocis at the oem service interval of 20k miles.
This is a EDM only Peugeot 206 1.6 16v.
Think the contributing factors to this clean engine are:
No short commuting trips, previous owner used to drive around 18k a year with it.
Italian tune up every now and then
Probably has had high quality oils all its life.
Simple port injection engine with simple and well designed pcv system which is still intact/working after almost 20 years.
The previous oci was done by me with motul xcess 5w40. It was changed 2000 miles ago by me with fuchs titan gt1 c3 pro 5w30 which i have in bulk for my bmw.
Considering this car is worth about 1000 euros i don't really bother to stick with the oem specs any more. This engine is from late 90s/begin 2000 and was speced for 5w40. However as expected it runs on 5w30 without problems.
