oil change PEUGEOT 807 2002.5 Owners Manual

PEUGEOT SERVICING Your vehicle's servicing schedule is based on level Aservices (engine oil change, checks and topups) and level Cservices
( level A + workshop operations carried out every 40,000/36,000 miles (60 00 0 km)) in accordance with the tables on the fol
lowing pages.
Irrespective of the conditions in which your vehicle is used, the interval between two level Aservices may not exceed:
• For petrol engines, 20,000 miles (30 000 km) or 2 years .
• For HDI turbo diesel engines, 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or 2 years .
In all cases, the extension of the service intervals mea ns that the engine oil level must be checked regularly: top
ping up of the oil between oil changes is normal.
It is for this reason that your PEUGEOT dealer invites you to make an intermediate visit between each service. The
service indicator does not indicate when this visit is d ue.
This visit is to be made between two services.
A Peugeot professional will carry out a quick check and will top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, screenwash up to
2 litres).
If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious d amage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every
3,000 miles (5 000 km)
This extended servicing has been made possible by modifications t o our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS THAT ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMEN DED BY THE
MANUFACTURER (see "Lubricants" pages).
Arduous conditions of use
If the vehicle is used in certain particularly arduous condition s such ascontinuous doortodoor use, town use (e.g. taxi),
repeated short journeys, with the engine cold in low tem peraturesor for long stays in hot countries with temperatures
often above 30 °C , cold countrieswith temperatures often below minus 15 °C, countries with a dusty atmosphere, and
countries whose lubricantsor fuels do not conform to our recommendations.
It is necessary to follow an "Arduous conditions" servicing schedule w hich includes special operations and shorter service
intervals:
• Every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or every year for petrol vehicles.
• Every 10,000 miles (15 000 km) or every year for HDI Turbo Diesel en gine vehicles.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level 
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes (maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1000 km).
Checking is carried out with the
vehicle level, engine cold, using
the oil level gauge on the check
module or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A= maximum
Never fill past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliabil
ity of engines and
emission control sys
tems, the use of addi
tives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING".
NOTE: Prevent used oil from coming
into prolonged contact 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 must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in 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 schedule
use fluids approved by the manu facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan
dards.
WARNING: brake and clutch fluid is
harmful to health and very corrosive.
Coolant level
Use fluid recommended by the man
ufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition off and
because the cooling system is pres
surised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work. Unscrew the cap two turns to allow
the pressure to drop to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Note:
The coolant does not need to
be changed.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fluid or coolant into drains or onto the
ground.
Power steering reservoir  Open the reservoir, with the
engine at ambient temperature.
The level should always be above
the MINI mark and close to the
MAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash reservoir
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you use
products approved by PEUGEOT
(reservoir capacity 4.5 litres or
6.5 litres with headlamp wash).
Measure the fluid level using the dip
stick incorporated in the reservoir
cap.
Close the air hole on the cap and
remove it, then check the level.

Air filter and pollen filter
Have the filter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty con
ditions, change them twice as
often.

Brake pad wear depends on the
style of driving, in particular for vehi
cles which are used in town, over
short distances .
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services. Have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Fuel supply cutoff
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine.

armed" on the multi–func
tion display.
To reestablish the fuel supply :  switch off the ignition.
 remove the key.
 check that there is no odour or
leakage of fuel outside the vehi
cle.
 put the key back in the ignition
 switch on the ignition and start.

manufacturer's service schedule.
Automatic gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer in accordance
with the manufacturer's service
schedule.
