2018 PEUGEOT 108 oil change

7
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
…). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and the roof rack after use.
At the end of winter, remove winter tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-

b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter…) and obser ve the schedule of
operations recommended in the warranty and
maintenance record. Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
.
Eco-driving

100
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 start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a
PEUGEOT dealer
or a
qualified workshop and dispose
of in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either
using the oil level indicator on the
instrument panel when the ignition is
switched on, for vehicles equipped
with an electric gauge, or using the
dipstick. To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a
level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30

minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up, if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F

T
ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and
pull it out completely.
F

W
ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
F

R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between marks A and B .A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .
- I f the level is above the MAX mark (risk of
damage to the engine), contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you must
top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Practical information

Topping up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F

nscrew the oil filler cap to access the filler
opening.

spills on engine components (risk of fire).

level again using the dipstick.
F

dd more oil if necessary.
F

A
fter checking the level, carefully refit the oil
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
Engine oil change
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Access to the tank
F Unclip the plastic cover, located at the bottom of the windscreen, by pressing on
both tabs.
When you unclip the plastic cover, make
sure not to remove the seal.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
The level of this fluid must be
between the marks " FULL" or "F"
and " LOW " or "L". The check and top up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
two turns to release the pressure. After it has
dropped, remove the cap and top up.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specifications
These fluids must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(versions without quick release terminals)
and that the connections are clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before starting work on the 12 V
battery , refer to the corresponding
section.
Air filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary .
Passenger compartment
filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary. A clogged passenger compartment
filter may have an adverse effect on
the per formance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Clutch
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a
12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The clutch is mechanically operated and
requires regular adjustment.If there is a
malfunction (for example,
difficulty in pulling away), contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with
a ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid with
antifreeze must be used that is appropriate for
the prevailing conditions, in order to preser ve
the elements of the system (pump, tank, ducts,
e t c .) .
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).
Practical information

103
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
e ffectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a month and before a long
j o u r n ey. Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
ETG gearbox
The ETG gearbox does not require
any maintenance (no oil change).
The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10
minutes or more than 6 miles
(10
kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!
