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).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
Checking using
the dipstick
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If you find that the level is above the
A
mark or
below the
B
mark,
do not start the engine
.
-
If the level is above the
MAX
mark
(risk of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
If the level is below the
MIN
mark, you
must top up the engine oil.
A
= MAX
B
= MIN
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
surface with the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
F
Locate the dipstick in the engine
compartment of your vehicle.
For more information on the petrol or Diesel
engine, refer to the corresponding section.
F
Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and
remove it completely.
F
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
F
Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between the marks
A
and
B
.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
