2002.5 Peugeot 406 check oil

PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
•For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30 000 km) or every two years.
• For direct injection diesel engines: every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or every two years.
The extension of the service intervals means that the engi ne 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 min d, that your Peugeot dealer will carry out a levels check and
topup 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).
The date of the intermediate visit is not shown by the serv ice indicator.
It is to be carried out at least every 10,000 miles (15 0 00 km) for petrol engines and every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) for
direct injection diesel engines.
If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious d amage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every
2,000 miles (3 000 km) or 3,000 miles (5 000 km), depen ding on the conditions of use.
The extended service intervals have been made possible by technica l modifications to the vehicles and lubricants:

between changes. Maximum con
sumption is 0.5 litres per 600 miles
(1 000 km).

the vehicle level and the engine cold.There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A= maximum
B = minimum
Oil change: according to the manu
facturer's servicing schedule.
Dipstick. Never fill past the maxi mum mark A.

Oil filter
Change the filter regularly according
to the servicing schedule.
Used oil
Prevent used oil from coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil into drains
or onto the ground.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the
use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Brakes and clutch
Checking the brake and clutch
fluid level:
The level should always be above
the DANGER mark on the reser
voir.
If the level drops substantially, con tact a PEUGEOT dealer imme
diately.
Fluid change
must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
use fluids approved by the manu facturer, which fulfil DOT 4 stan
dards. Cooling system
Use the fluid approved by the manu
facturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. Because this fan
can operate with the ignition key
removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at
least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any
work.
In the event of a breakdown and to
avoid any risk of burns, slacken the
cap to the first notch to release the
pressure. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
