PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
¥ For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30,000 km) or every two years. The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must be checked regularly: topping up of the oil between oil changes is normal. That is why the PEUGEOT network is offering you an intermediate service between each regular service.
The date of this service is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out every 9 000 miles (15 000 km) for petrol engines.
A Peugeot dealer will carry out a rapid check and top up fluids as necessary (oil, coolant, windscreen wash fluid to the 2 litre limit). If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious damage to the engine : check the engine oil level at least every 2,000 to 3,000 miles (3,000 to 5,000 km), depending on the conditions of use. This extended servicing has been made possible by modifications to our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPROVED LUBRICANTS The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most pur-poses. The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depen-ding on the temperatures at which theoils are to be used. It is also possible to use synthetic oils
of 'superior quality. In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ maybe used by following the 'ArduousConditions' maintenance schedulewhich specifies shorter intervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from
a PEUGEOT dealer to maintaindriving pleasure and to minimise themaintenance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.
