PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals:
¥ Every 20 000 miles (30 000km) or every 2 years for petrol engines.
¥ Every 12 000 miles (20 000km) or every 2 years for direct injection diesel engines.
¥ Every 10 000 miles (15 000km) or every 2 years for indirect injection diesel engines. The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must be checked regularly; topping up of the oil between oil changes is normal. It is for this reason, and for your complete peace of mind, that your Peugeot dealer will carry out a levels check and top-up midway between each routine service, at the time or distance intervals specified. This will be undertaken free
of charge, provided that the maintenance of your vehicle has been carried out within the Peugeot network. At the
same time, your Peugeot dealer will offer you a Peugeot Safety Check, for a nominal fee. A Peugeot professional willcarry out a quick check and will top up the levels if necessary (oil up to 1 litre, coolant and screen wash).
If the oil level is too low, there is a risk of serious damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every 1 500 miles (2 500km), depending on the conditions of use.
The date of the intermediate visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10 000 miles (15 000km) for petrol engines and twin-fuel petrol and LPG engines, every 6 000 miles (10 000km) fordirect injection diesel engines and every 5 000 miles (7 500km) for indirect injection diesel engines. This extended servicing has been made possible by modifications to our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER.

20TYPES OF SERVICE
Each vehicle has its own servicing cycle, defined by the manufacturer in accordance with each vehicleÕs specific technical features.
This cycle consists of alternating 2 types of service A and C, intermediate visits, and a few additional operations depending on your vehicle ; these correspond to key stages in the life of your 306. Services of type B are designed for less recent vehicles.
Your dealer will indicate the type and content of the next service when the first service is carried out, and at each subsequent service.
