Look in older posts I'm stopping recommending oils on here as someone will come along & say the complete opposite so have search or ask "One of the Experts" There plenty on here who will point you in the right direction or maybe not?

Personally I would stick to the Peugeot recommendation 0W - 30 for the petrol and 5w-30 for the diesel, I use the Total ineo first oil for my petrol and it’s had nothing else in 9 years of ownership.

Motor oil without oil?
Why motor oils are becoming thinner and thinner and why motor oil may no longer contain any oil at some point
According to this article, the reason for using increasingly less viscous oils is only that it costs less for the lubrication pump to move it and this reduces fuel consumption. It's not because it lubricates better.
I will continue using 5w40 for my THP, the engine runs smoother and quieter than 0W30 and consumes less oil.
Currently, for the most recent engines, the recommended oil is usually 0w20 !
