Servicing - Every 2 years?

IJRussell · Post by **IJRussell** » Tue Sep 03, 2002 1:57 pm

I seem to remember being told or reading that that CC has a 2 year or 20k mile service interval.

Is that right?

Its coming up to a year old with only 7000 miles on the clock - should I get it serviced on 12 months anyway?

yes 2 years or 20,000 is correct.

its a choice only you can make.........

depends I suppose how much you local Peugeot Monkeys want for some oil and a filter - not much change from Â£100 I bet.

You could always do the oil change yourself...

Halfords quoted me Â£35 quid for an oil and filter change using Castrol GTX Magnatec.
Seems quite reasonable to me, 20K's quite a long way to go without an oil change.

I'd do it every 5k

why ?

Alex LS · Post by **Alex LS** » Tue Sep 03, 2002 4:16 pm

Because, on average, that's how long it takes my oil to start looking yucky

i don't want to spoil it that much, i've just treated it to a new number plate - that will do until it get's colour coded

Yeah, well. Oil changes are cheaper than colour coding, and more noticeable when you start the engine :razz:

Anyway, this is quite a cool link:

20k is correct- but like the others i think that is too long to go, so i got the oil & filter changed @ 10k @ my peugeot garage. they charged (if i remember rightly) about Â£65. be VERY careful about using 3rd party providers because of warranty issues

As long as you use the Peugeot-recommended filter, you're not going to have a problem.

They're hardly likely to sample the oil are they?
