MAINTENANCE ADVICE
It is essential to maintain the right level of oil. It should be between the min. and max. markings on the dipstick.
Citroën recommends checking your oil level every 3100 miles and before long journeys.
Citroën 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.
Citroen 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 below gives the list of the products officially approved by Citroen. It means that these products have successfully passed all the tests of this new specification and all results have been checked by Citroen.
