Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements. Cooling system
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a
turn to release the pressure
to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level. Only use the fl uid recom-
mended by the manufac-
turer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine.
Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fl uid or coolant into
drains or into the ground.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this
purpose in the CITROËN network.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
