Checks






Checking levels
Oil level
The check of the oil level is carried
out with the dipstick, located under
the bonnet. For the position o
f the dipstick, refer
to the description of your engine compar tment in this section.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details of theinterval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for your
en
gine and conform to the manufacturer'srecommendations.



Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely
hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could star t at any time (even with the ignition off).

If a level drops si
gnificantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the ser vicing booklet and the requirements of the warranty. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
It is normal to top up the oil levelbetween two ser vices (or oil changes).CITROËN recommends that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every3 000 miles (5 000 km). This check will onl
y be correct if the vehicle is
on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Dipstick
There are two marks on the dipstick:
A= maximum
If you fill past this mark, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.B= minimum
Never allow the level to fall below this mark.
