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.
Topping up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F
A
dd oil in small quantities, avoiding any
spills on engine components (risk of fire).
Do not star t the engine if the level is:
-

A
bove mark A
, then contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
B
elow mark B
, then top up the engine oil
immediately.
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,
and may be very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers
reser ved for this purpose at a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked either using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched
on, for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
The vehicle must be parked on a level sur face,
w ith the engine stopped for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
ser vices (or oil changes). It is recommended
that you check the level, and top up if
necessary, every 3,000
miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
