RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPROVED LUBRICANTS The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most purposes. 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.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Engine Checking the oil level Check the level regularly and top up between changes
(maximum
consumption is 0.5 litres per 600 miles (1,000 km). The oil level should be checked with the vehicle level, engine cold. There are two marks on the dipstick:
A= maximum.
B = minimum. Oil change:
according to the manu-
facturerÕs servicing schedule.
Ð Dipstick. Never fill past the maximum mark A.
Ð Oil level gauge on the instrument panel.
Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments. Oil filter Change the filter regularly in accor- dance with the maintenance schedule. Used oil Prevent used oil from coming into pro- longed contact with the skin. Do not dispose of used oil into drains or into the ground.
To maintain the reliability of engines and emission control systems, the useof additives in the engine oil is pro-hibited. Brake fluid reservoir
Ð The level should always be above
the DANGER mark on the reser-
voir.
Ð If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change
Ð must be carried out according to the manufacturerÕs schedule.
Ð use fluids approved by the manu- facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan- dards.
Coolant reservoir Use the fluid approved by the manu-
facturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlledby the engine fan: because this fancan operate with the ignition keyremoved, and because the coolingsystem is pressurised, wait for at leastone hour after the engine has stoppedbefore carrying out any work.
If necessary, in a breakdown, slacken the cap to the first notch to releasethe pressure to prevent any risk ofscalding. When the pressure hasdropped remove the cap and top upthe level.
