Checks






Checking levels


Ta k e c a r e w h e n w o r k i ng under the

The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator on the instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine has
been o
ff for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices
(or oil changes). PEUGEOTrecommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check whenswitching on the ignition with the oil levelindicator in the instrument panel is not validduring the 30 minutes after topping up.

Engine oil change

Refer to the ser vicing booklet for details of the
interval 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.
