2002 Peugeot 406 C Dag oil change

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 engine oil level must be checked regularly: topping up of the oil between oil changes is normal. It is for this reason that the PEUGEOT network invites you to an intermediate visit between each regular service.
The date of this service is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10,000 miles
( 15 000 km) for petrol engines and every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injection diesel engines. A Peugeotdealer will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, screenwash up to 2 litres). 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 miles (3 000 km) or 3,000 miles (5 000 km), depending on the conditions of use.
The extended service intervals have been made possible by technical modifications to the vehicles and lubricants: THUS

CHECKING THE LEVELS Engine Checking the oil levelCheck the level regularly and top up between changes. Maximumconsumption is 0.5 litres per 600miles (1 000 km). The oil level should be checked with the vehicle level and the engine cold.There are two marks onthe 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 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 according to the servicing schedule. Used oilPrevent 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, theuse of additives in the engine oil isprohibited.
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, contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change
- must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing sche- dule.
- 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 controlledby the engine fan. Because this fancan operate with the ignition keyremoved and because the coolingsystem is pressurised, wait for atleast one hour after the engine hasstopped before carrying out anywork. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, slacken thecap to the first notch to release thepressure. When the pressure hasdropped, remove the cap and top upthe level.
