Recommendations for approved lubricants
The oils which appear in the table oppo-site are suitable for most purposes. The diagram opposite states the opti- mum range of viscosity depending on thetemperatures at which the oils are to beused. It is also possible to use synthetic oils of "superior quality". In the absence of semi-synthetic or syn-
thetic oils, oils of ACEA A1/A2 and API
SH/SJ/SL quality (for petrol engines), or
ACEA B1/B2 and API CD/CF quality (fordiesel engines) may be used by followingthe 'Arduous Conditions' servicingschedule, which specifies shorter serviceintervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from a
PEUGEOT dealer to maintain drivingpleasure and to minimise the mainte-nance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level Check the level regularly and top up between changes. Maximum con-sumption is 0.5 litres per 600 miles(1 000 km). The oil level should be checked with the vehicle level and the engine coldusing the oil gauge or the dipstick.Dipstick There are two marks on the dipstick: A=maximum
Never fill past this mark. B= minimum
To maintain the reliability of the engines and of theemission control sys-tems, the use of additivesin the engine oil is prohib-ited.
Oil change According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING" .
Note: avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil with the skin.
Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments.

Brake and clutch fluid level:
- The level should always bebetween the DANGER and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
- If the level drops substantially, con- tact a PEUGEOT dealer immedi-
ately.
Fluid change:
- must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
- use fluids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT 4standards.
Note: the brake fluid is noxious and
very corrosive. Avoid any contactwith the skin. Coolant level Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlledby the engine fan. Because this fan
can operate with the ignition off andbecause the cooling system is pres-surised, wait for at least one hourafter the engine has stopped beforecarrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of burns, slacken the cap to the first notch to releasethe pressure. When the pressure hasdropped, remove the cap and top upthe level. Used products Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or coolant down drains or on theground. Power steering fluid level Open the reservoir with the engine
cold at ambient temperature. Thelevel should always be above theMIN mark, close to the MAX mark.

safety, we advise that you useproducts recommended by

CHECKS Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Air filter Regular replacement of the filter ele- ment is essential. If you drive in
very dusty conditions, change ittwice as often. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehi-cles that are used in town, for shortjourneys. It may be necessary to check the thickness of the pads even betweenservices. Handbrake Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a reduction in theperformance of the system, thehandbrake should be adjusted, evenbetween services. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox This does not require an oil change. Have the level checked in accor-dance with the manufacturer's ser-vicing schedule. Oil filterReplace the cartridge regularly in accordance with the servicing sched-ule.
