Engine oil level indicator
On versions fitted with an electric oil gauge, information on the oil level is displayed in the instrument panel for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, at the same time as the service information.
The level read will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Oil level correct
This is indicated by a message in the instrument panel.
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by a message in the instrument panel. If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, the level must be topped up to avoid damage to the engine.
Oil level indicator fault
This is indicated by a message in the instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Dipstick
There are 2 marks on the dipstick: - A = max; never exceed this level, - B = min; top up the level via the oil filler, using the grade of oil suited to your engine.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate the dipstick and the oil filler cap on your engine.

Checking levels
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).
Oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval for this operation. In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated. If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Dipstick
There are two marks on the dipstick:
A = maximum If the level is above this mark, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. B = minimum Top up the level through the oil filler orifice, using the correct grade of oil for your engine. The level must never be below this mark.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes. 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). After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the 30 minutes after topping up.
