The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must be checked regularly: topping up of the oil between two oil changes is normal. It is for this reason that your PEUGEOT dealer will invite you to an intermediate visit between services. The date of
this visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried outbetween two services.
A Peugeot professional will carry out a quick check and will top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, screen wash up to 2 litres).
If the oil level is too low, there is a risk of significant damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every 3,000 miles (5 000 km). This maintenance frequency is the result of developments to our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS THAT ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED
BY THE MANUFACTURER (see pages on 'Lubricants').
