CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
☞
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. Maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1000 km).
Carry out this check with the
vehicle level, engine cold, using
the oil level gauge on the instru-
ment panel or the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never fill past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliabi-
lity of engines and
emission control sys-
tems, the use of addi-
tives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil change

'PEUGEOT SERVICING'.
