Engine oil level
This level is checked using the

find this dipstick, see the description
of the engine compartment.
To ensure the accuracy of the reading, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face, with
the engine off for at least 30
minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
ser vices (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and
top up if necessary, every 3,000 miles
(5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick
