Engine oil change with filter on Peugeot 306 1.8 16V

Filler cap

Level gauge

Oil filter

Engine drain plug

Gearbox drain plug

When you drain, make sure you unscrew the correct cap.

Turn off the engine.

Open the filler cap.

Place the bac de vidange under the drain plug.

Using an 8mm BTR bit or a 21mm 6-sided socket, remove the drain plug.

Let the oil drain.

Once there is no more oil in the engine, clean the crankcase well at the plug level.

Make sure the old gasket is not stuck to the crankcase.

Replace the old cap in place.

Move the bac de vidange under the filter.

To remove the filter I use a cloche 3/8.

Remove the filter.

Clean the gasket area.

Coat the joint with filtre neuf of a little new oil.

Put it down filtre neuf and screw it to the correct torque.

Remove the old drain plug.

Let the little remaining oil drain off.

Put it down bouchon neuf and its new seal.

Use only one of the 2 gaskets provided.

If you have changed the oil filter you will need to add 4.75 liters.

Add a little lesshuile as recommended then close the filler cap.

Run the engine so that l'huile circulates in the filter.

Check the level then top up.

The level must be between the 2 marks.

Check that there are no leaks, neither at the level of the bouchon de vidange nor under the filtre.
