PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals:
¥ Every 20 000 miles (30 000km) or every 2 years for petrol engines. 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.
It is for this reason, and for your complete peace of mind, that your PEUGEOT dealer will carry out a levels check and top-up midway between each routine service, at the time or distance intervals specified. This will be undertaken free of charge, provided that the maintenance of your vehicle has been carried out within the
Peugeot network. At the same time, your Peugeot dealer will offer you a PEUGEOT Safety Check, for a nominal fee.
A PEUGEOT professional will carry out a quick check and will top up the levels if necessary (oil up to 1 litre, coolant and screen wash).
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 1 500 m iles
(2 500km), depending on the conditions of use.
The date of the intermediate visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10 000 miles (15 000km) for petrol engines.
