Checks
Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely
hot (risk of burns).
Oil level
The check is carried out with the
dipstick.
This check will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not valid
during the 30 minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details of the
interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, the use of
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
Oil speci
fi
cation
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the servicing booklet and the requirements of the warranty. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
Dipstick
There are two marks on the dipstick:
A
= maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
B
= minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
