Checking Levels; Oil Level - PEUGEOT 107 Handbook

Checks

Checking levels

If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely
hot (risk of burns).

Oil level

The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator on the instrument panel, or using the
dipstick.
This manual check 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.
