Peugeot cars (a French manufacturer) do not differ much in maintenance (and in periodic oil and filter changes) from other cars. All you need to have on hand is a good manual, new oil and filter, a minimal set of tools.
What oil to pour
All oils are divided into different categories according to their viscosity. In particular, for engines of the 206 model, it is recommended to fill in Total Quartz 5W40.
Replacement frequency according to the standard, 1 year of operation or after ~ 15,000 km.

Before starting work, make sure that you have bought everything and have at hand:
- New oil;
- Oil filter;
- Rags;
- Basin for ~ 5 l;
- Wrench for removing protection (if necessary) and drain plug;
Replacement step by step
- We warm up a cold engine for 3-4 minutes. Cold oil will leak badly from the engine, as a result, a lot of dirty oil may remain, which you will eventually mix with new one. Thus, the characteristics of the new oil will deteriorate.
- We put the car on jacks or on a viewing hole (ideal) for easy access to the bottom. In some models, "protection" of the crankcase may be installed. It will need to be removed to access the drain plug.
- Unscrew the filler cap, remove the oil dipstick. Oil drains faster if there is a through hole.
- We substitute a basin or any other dishes that can hold 5 liters of mining.
- We unscrew the drain plug with a key (it is better if the ratchet wakes up). It is best to immediately calculate that the oil wakes up hot. At this stage of work, you need to be most careful.
- After completely draining the old dirty oil, which is black, remove the basin to the side.
- An optional item is to flush the engine with a special flushing fluid. You will be surprised what black oil will pour out with this liquid. It is very easy to use this liquid. Pour into the engine, after screwing the drain plug of course. We start the car for 3-5 minutes. At the same time, we drive and heat our liquid on an old oil filter. After, we muffle and drain into a free container.
- Change the oil filter to a new one. Before installing a new filter, pour about 100 g of fresh oil into it and also lubricate the rubber o-ring on it.
- Fill in new oil. After making sure that the drain plug is screwed on and a new oil filter is installed, we can start filling in new oil, guided by the dipstick. The level must be between the minimum and maximum marks. Also, you need to remember that after the first start of the engine, a little oil will go away and the level will drop.
- Recheck the oil level on the dipstick after the first start. Let the engine run for about 10 minutes at idle.
Peugeot 206 is a compact budget car that is in great demand on the Russian market. The car was very popular in the early to mid 2000s. Therefore, it is not surprising that why there are a lot of such cars in the secondary market. The Peugeot 206 is still in steady demand, which confirms the reliability of the model. At the same time, the owners of the supported "two hundred and sixth" increasingly have the question of the need for self-service. This question is relevant for those who are not going to service an elderly car in an expensive service. Fortunately, the Peugeot design is quite simple, and does not require large expenditures. In addition to larger malfunctions, first you need to resolve the issue with consumables - for example, pour oil into the engine. About which oil to choose for the Peugeot 206 is described in detail in this article. The article provides the parameters and the best manufacturers of lubricants.
Please note that for Peugeot 206 it is recommended to use engine oils with SG or SG / CD classification. It is also important that the information on the product label comply with the so-called API standards, and the SAE viscosity grade, depending on the ambient temperature in which the vehicle is operated.
The manufacturer recommends the following:
For petrol engines:
- API - SH or higher
- API (viscosity) - SH or higher

Conclusion
When choosing a high-quality oil for a Peugeot 206 engine, you must first of all pay attention to the parameters, and then give preference to one brand or another - this applies to more affordable motor oils that are analogues to original lubricants. As for expensive original oils, there is no doubt about their quality, but the optimal parameters must also be taken into account. Peugeot 206 left the assembly line with the original factory oil. Its parameters must always be taken into account when choosing a similar lubricant. Otherwise, there is a risk of mixing two oils (old and new) with completely different parameters.

To change the oil you will need a tool:
- head for 24
- head for 27
- container for old oil
Step-by-step guide to changing the engine oil on a Peugeot 206
- Before replacing, it is necessary to warm up the engine to operating temperature.
- Open the hood and unscrew the oil filler cap on the engine.
- We substitute the pre-prepared container under the drain plug and unscrew the head on the 24 drain plug.
If your car is equipped with engine protection, then it will have to be removed. To do this, you need to unscrew the bolts with a 10 head and pull off the protection, it is held on hooks in front.
The most convenient way to do this is on a lift or on a wide pit. When removing in a pit, difficulties may arise, because. the protection is wide enough and may not fit into the pit itself when removed from the hooks, but rest against the edges corny on the floor. To do this, you can first raise the car with jacks.
Attention! Be careful as hot oil!
- While the oil is draining, you can start unscrewing the oil filter. This will require a 27 head with an extension (it is better to use as long as possible). We push the extension with the head into the engine compartment and put the head on the oil filter (there is a special latch that will not let the head come off). We unscrew the filter and simply pull it towards ourselves with the help of an extension cord with a head.
- We take out the old filter from the housing. We put a new filter in the housing and put on it a rubber gasket, which must first be lubricated with oil.
- We twist the filter in the reverse order. There is no need to pull hard.
- By then, the oil should have drained away. We take a new gasket for the drain plug and put it on the place of the old one and screw the drain plug back on.
- We take out new oil and start pouring it into the neck. It is necessary to fill in gradually to prevent overflow of oil over the dipstick. Check the level and add oil if necessary.
Uninterrupted operation, reliability and safety on the road are the qualities that every owner wants to see in his vehicle. However, not everyone knows that these features depend not only on the build quality of the car and the rating of the automaker. Ensuring the correct functioning of the vehicle components throughout the entire declared operational period largely depends on the owner. The guarantee of trouble-free operation of the machine is the responsible attitude of the owner to the recommendations of the manufacturer. One of the most important areas of care is the timely replacement of lubricating and combustible materials in the working systems of the car, especially in the engine. In this article, we will tell you how the oil is changed in the Peugeot 206 engine, about the possibilities of independently performing the procedure in accordance with the regulations for carrying out the operation according to the instructions from the automaker.
Instructions for changing the oil in the Peugeot 206 engine with your own hands.
When is an oil change required?
Compliance with the frequency of oil change guarantees, first of all, timely prevention of the negative impact of used oil on the operating mechanisms of the unit. According to the regulations, the procedures for replacing the car oil in the engine must be performed at least once a year, even if the car is practically not in use, or after the car has run ten thousand kilometers.
In addition, there are clarifications regarding the frequency of services in such situations:
- A new car bought in the showroom requires the first change of lubricants immediately after the regulated break-in of the car. This criterion should not be neglected, since in the process of grinding in new mechanisms there is a risk of the appearance of small metal particles in the lubricant, which can adversely affect the unit's proper operation.
- A car purchased from hand needs urgent, as well as a filter. This criterion is due to the fact that the new owner of the car does not know under what conditions the car was operated before him: if the car was being prepared for sale, low-quality, cheapest lubricant could be poured into the units.
Additionally, the following factors can affect the period between lubricant changes in the direction of decreasing the interval:
- The age of the car and the technical condition of the motor.
- Operating conditions: driving intensity, traffic jams, aggressive driving style, climatic features, road surface quality.
- Qualitative features of the most fuels and lubricants. Not only car oil, but also low-quality fuel can negatively affect performance criteria.
You can identify the need for an extraordinary lubricant change by carefully listening to the behavior of the vehicle, as well as visually when checking its level.
Checking the oil level
Let's try to figure out how to rationally check the oil level in the Peugeot 206 power unit, and why this procedure is needed if you can control the situation using a standard indicator on the dashboard. The control light on the dashboard will “flash”, indicating a small amount of fluid in the engine, only in the situation when its level drops to the minimum limit. As practice shows, such a situation occurs at the most inopportune moment, when the owner is in a hurry or does not have the right liquid at hand. The operation of the machine in the mode of partial oil starvation of the engine is strictly prohibited, as this can lead to serious consequences for the internal combustion engine.
To prevent this situation, the manufacturer recommends checking the oil level at least every thousand kilometers driven by the car. On the one hand, you will protect yourself from unforeseen situations along the way, on the other hand, you will be able to visually assess the quality of the oil for impurities and combustion components by its color and smell, which indicates the loss of its protective properties by the lubricant and the need for its extraordinary replacement.
In order to obtain correct data on the criteria for filling the Peugeot 206 engine with oil, it is necessary to perform the task, taking into account the following recommendations:
- Check the oil level after the engine has cooled down or before going anywhere. The machine must be on a level, level surface.
- Pull out the dipstick, which is located on the front surface of the motor. Wipe it dry, lower it into the control opening until it stops. Pull the dipstick out again and check the fluid level.
The filling of the unit is considered normal if the oil level is located in the middle between the MIN and MAX markings. If there is less liquid, however, the planned replacement is still far away, and visual inspection does not give reason to doubt its condition, it is allowed to top up the emulsion to the norm. For this purpose, only identical oil can be used, the same that is poured into the unit. Beware of overfilling the lubricant: an excess will lead to its burning out in the system and a faster loss of quality characteristics.
What oil is better to fill in?
The efficiency of the operation of the power unit depends on the quality of the selected product, therefore it is important to take the question of which oil to pour into the Peugeot 206 engine with all responsibility. In this matter, it is most correct to be guided by the recommendations and tolerances of the car manufacturer. The best option for the Peugeot Sedan engine is products from the well-known manufacturer of fuels and lubricants Total, with a viscosity coefficient of 5W40, synthetic type. If for some reason the owner is not satisfied with oils under the Total brand, preference can be given to products from other lubricant suppliers, taking into account the requirements of the automaker according to specifications. There are approvals for the operation of products under the brands Castrol, Mobil, Valvoline, Shell, Lukoil.
When choosing oil for a Peugeot 206 engine, it is important to be guided by the following criteria:
- The viscosity of the oil according to SAE must comply with the requirements of the automaker. For different versions of the car, the manufacturer recommends filling in as an all-weather version of lubricant marked 10 and 15W40, in the form of a winter version, either 0W40 should be preferred, the product with a viscosity of 20W40 or 25W is considered the best summer car oil
- The oil criterion according to API must not be lower than the SH marking.
- The advantage should be given to oils made on the basis of synthetic materials. In extreme cases, semi-synthetics are allowed if the car has significant mileage.
When choosing a product, you should also carefully consider the outlet where you are going to buy products. Popular motor oils are very common, therefore it is not recommended to purchase goods in spontaneous markets. The priority is the purchase of products in certified car dealerships that have documentation for the goods being sold.
How much to pour?
When a choice is made in favor of a fluid suitable for the engine, it becomes necessary to know the required displacement of oil for replacement. In the Peugeot 206 engine, the volume of oil varies depending on its modification. Before making a purchase, it is important for a car owner to see what kind of power unit his car is equipped with. For engines with a volume of 1.1 to 1.6, it will take from three to 3.8 liters of lubricant, so you need to buy car oil with a total capacity of at least four liters. In power units of modification 1.9 and 2.0, the volume of oil is 4.8 and 4.25 liters, respectively, so you need to purchase a five-liter container. When filling the system with lubricant, you will first need to fill in a portion of oil with a volume of about two and a half liters, and then add liquid in parts, focusing on the level with a dipstick. As already mentioned, the norm is the oil level between the MIN and MAX values on the dipstick.
Replacement instructions
An oil change in a Peugeot 206 is a procedure feasible for any car owner, even without technical skills. To accomplish this task on your own, you need to have the desire and desire to succeed, as well as have the necessary tools, consumables and follow the step-by-step instructions. For work, you will need to prepare in advance a set of car keys, a new car oil in sufficient volume, a container for working off, a new filter and an o-ring for the oil drain plug.
A worthy answer to the question of how to change the oil on a Peugeot 206 is given by the following detailed instructions:
That's all: the work is successfully completed. Do not forget to write down the odometer readings so as not to miss the next moment of motor maintenance.
Summing up
Timely replacement of the oil in the vehicle's engine is one of the most important conditions for ensuring that the performance of the machine meets the criteria declared by the automaker. It is possible to change the lubricant in the Peugeot 206 engine both at the service station and at home - this task is provided by the manufacturer, therefore it does not cause any particular difficulties in execution. To achieve a successful result, it is important to follow the instructions steadily, to be careful about the choice of fluid, the quality of which determines the further performance of the power unit.
