PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
¥ For saloon and 206 SW petrol engines: every 30 000 km or every two years.
¥ For 206 RC petrol engines: every 20 000 km or every two years.
¥ For direct injection diesel engines: every 20 000 km or every two years.
¥ For indirect injection diesel engines: every 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. This is why the PEUGEOT network is offering you an intermediate service between regular services.
The date of this visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 15 000 km for saloon and 206 SW petrol engines, every 10 000 km for 206 RC petrol engines and direct injection diesel engines and every7 500 km for indirect injection diesel engines.
A PEUGEOT dealer will carry out a quick check and top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, windscreen wash 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
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 USE ONLY LUBRICANTS THAT ARE SUITED TO YOUR ENGINE AND RECOMMENDED BY
THE MANUFACTURER (see "Lubricants" pages).
