9Checks1995008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Checking levelsEngine oil levelThe check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel for vehicles so equipped, or using the dipstick.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.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 kms).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).If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not start the engine.-If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.-If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.A = MAXTo ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be parked on a level surface with the engine having been off for more than 30minutes.Checking using the dipstickB = MINFLocate the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle.For more information on the petrol or Diesel engine, refer to the corresponding section.FTake the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.FWipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth.FRefit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks Aand B.

When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol or methanol base fluid is recommended.
