PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service iintervals.
¥ 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.
¥ For indirect injection diesel engines: evey 10,000 miles (15,000 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 visit between each regular service.
The date of this visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10 000 Miles (15 000km) for petrol and twin-fuel engines; every 6 000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injection diesel engines and every5 000 miles (7 500 km) for indirect injection diesel 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.
