2003 Peugeot Boxer oil temperature

Recommended lubricants The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most pur-poses. The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depen-ding on the temperatures at whichthe oils are to be used. It is also possible to use "superior quality" synthetic oils. In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ qua-lity (for petrol engines), or CD/CFquality (for diesel engines) may beused by following the "ArduousConditions" servicing schedule,which specifies shorter intervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice
from a PEUGEOT dealer to maintaindriving pleasure and to minimise themaintenance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

Low coolant level warning light Illumination of this warning light indicates that the coolant level is too
low.
Stop immediately.
W arning: allow the engine to cool before topping up.
The cooling circuit is pressurised.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressu-
re to drop.When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 29
Engine oil pressure warning light This comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. Illumination of this warning light while the engine is running indicates
that the oil pressure or level is too low.
Stop immediately. If there is a lack of oil in the lubrication circuit, top it up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS A permanently lit warning light or one that flashes while the engine is
running indicates an operating fault. The illumination of certain warning lights may be accompanied by a bleep and a message on the multi-
function display. Do not ignore this warning: contact your PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Handbrake warning light This comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on.Illumination of this warning light indi-cates that the handbrake is applied
or has not been released correctly.Coolant temperature warning light This comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on.Illumination of this warning light indi-cates an abnormal increase in thecoolant temperature.
Stop immediately.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
134
CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level ☞Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-mum consumption is 0.5 l per600 miles (1000 km). Check the level with the vehicle level, engine cold, using the oillevel gauge on the instrumentpanel or the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks onthe dipstick: A= maximum
Never fill past this mark.B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission control systems, the useof additives in engine oilis prohibited.
Oil change According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING" .
Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
V iscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments. Brake fluid level: - The level must always be between the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
- 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 recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4standards.
Note: brake fluid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contactwith the skin. Cooling system Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan canoperate with the ignition key remo-ved and because the cooling systemis pressurised, wait for at least onehour after the engine has stoppedbefore carrying out any work. Slacken the cap to the first notch torelease the pressure to prevent anyrisk of scalding. When the pressurehas dropped, remove the cap andtop up the level. Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed. Used oil Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or coolant into drains or into theground. Power steering reservoir ☞ Open the reservoir, with the engine at ambient temperature.The level should always beabove the MIN. mark and closeto the MAX. mark.
