WHY DOES YOUR ENGINE NEED LUBRICATING?
OIL
- Reduces friction,
- Limits wear on moving parts in your engine (rods, pistons, etc.),
- Allows proper engine cooling,
- Keeps the engine clean,
- Helps to keep a watertight seal between the cylinder bore and the piston,
- Protects against corrosion,
- Ensures engine start-up in all temperatures. New generation synthetic oils also allow you to:
- Reduce your CO2 emissions by reducing your fuel consumption.
- Optimise the operation of your engine's filtration systems like the catalytic converter and the particulate filter.
MAINTENANCE ADVICE
It is essential to maintain the right level of oil. It should be between the min. and max. markings on the dipstick.
PEUGEOT recommends checking your oil level approximately every 3,000 miles and before long journeys.
PEUGEOT recommends replacing the oil filter in your engine at regular intervals because oil changes are essential. Keeping your engine lubricated, and therefore well maintained, will extend its lifespan and maintain performance.
OIL FILTER
- Keeps the oil as clean as possible,
- Traps all dust, combustion residue and abrasive particles generated by the normal wear of engine parts,
- Helps to keep the oil cool.
PEUGEOT recommends changing the oil filter with every oil change to ensure the longevity of your engine.
WHICH OIL SHOULD YOU USE?
To ensure the optimum performance of your engine and to meet the requirements of the new technology developed by PEUGEOT - PEUGEOT recommends TotalEnergies, your Maintenance Handbook will tell you exactly which oil is best for your oil change, or you can check the website of our partner TotalEnergies. Sticking to this recommendation will improve the longevity of your vehicle.

Peugeot developed a new oil specification FPW9.55535/03 with the aim to provide a very high protection of the engine against wear and fouling.
The table above gives the list of the products officially approved by Peugeot. It means that these products have successfully passed all the tests of this new specification and all results have been checked by Peugeot.
SAFETY ENSURED BY PEUGEOT STANDARDS
The new European Euro 6 emissions standards set maximum levels that should be adhered to without fail.
To ensure even greater quality in the maintenance of your PEUGEOT, depending on the engine, the manufacturer will set its own specific standards for engine lubricants that are even stricter than the European standards.
PEUGEOT STANDARDS FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE
Compatible with biofuels, lubricants that meet the specific PEUGEOT standards actively contribute to reducing harmful emissions, and therefore ensuring the proper operation of the filtration elements of the engine.
