Engine oil level
The liquid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
for vehicles equipped with an electric
gauge, or using the dipstick.
5. Fusebox.
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).
6. Air filter.
7. Engine oil dipstick.
8. Engine oil filler cap.
9. Remote earth point.
10. Priming pump*
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level surface
with the engine stopped for more than
30 minutes.
*
Depending on engine.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
Used products
The Diesel circuit is under very high
pressure.
All work on this circuit must be carried out
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and
pull it out completely.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Checking levels
F Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
F Refit 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.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of it in
the containers reserved for this purpose.
