Recommended oils and fluids
Maintaining a car in good condition is based on the principle of alternating two types of maintenance - TO- «A» and TO- «WITH». View «A» includes changing the engine oil, oil filter and a series of control checks, and the view «WITH» in addition to the work included in the type «A», provides for additional routine operations that should be carried out in the conditions of a Peugeot service station, each time after reaching the next 60,000 km of run. Intermediate maintenance is recommended between two scheduled maintenance.
In the instrument cluster of the car there is a mileage indicator until the next maintenance. Taking into account the operating conditions of the car, as well as the driving style, it will automatically determine the length of the remaining mileage and inform about the number of kilometers left to drive before the scheduled maintenance «A». The maintenance interval is:
- no more than 30,000 km, or once every two years for cars with gasoline engines;
- no more than 20,000 km, or once every two years for vehicles with direct injection diesel engines.
- Mileage between two maintenance views «A» The indicator is determined by the following three parameters:
- the total number of revolutions of the crankshaft of the engine;
- oil temperature in the engine lubrication system;
- periods of vehicle downtime.
In accordance with these three parameters, the on-board computer will calculate the mileage remaining until the next maintenance (it will be more or less close to the scheduled interval) and inform about it using a special indicator in the instrument cluster. Depending on the operating conditions of the car, between two scheduled maintenance of the type «WITH» one or more services may be performed «A».
Note. Due to the extended intervals between periodic maintenance, the engine oil level should be checked regularly. The need to top up the oil between two oil changes is normal and is not a fault. For this reason, it is recommended that you take your own initiative to a Peugeot Dealership for an intermediate service between two scheduled maintenances. Intermediate maintenance is carried out in the middle of the run between two scheduled ones. It should be borne in mind that an insufficient oil level in the engine can lead to serious damage to it, so it is necessary to check the oil level in it at least every 5000 km.
The increase in the interval between periodic maintenance has become possible due to the constructive improvement of cars, as well as the emergence of high-quality oils for them.
Attention! It is necessary to use only high quality engine oils that have been certified and recommended for use by the vehicle manufacturer.
