It
  is   normal   to   top   up   the   oil   level   between

wo   services   (or   oil   changes).   CITROËN  
r

ecommends   that   you   check   the   level,   and   top  
u

p   if   necessary,   every   3   000   miles   (5   000   kms).A = MA X
B = MIN If you find that the level is above the A
  mark   or  
belo

w the B   mark,   do not star t the engine.
-

f the level is above the MAX
 
mark   (risk
