Check and top up the fluid levels of the Peugeot 308 MK1.

Model: Peugeot 308 T7, MK 1 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we will see how to check the levels of a Peugeot 308 MK1: we open the hood and start by checking the oil level. We pull out the dipstick and dry it with some paper towel, then put it back in and pull it out again, checking that the level is close to "max". If it's not, we open the refill cap and pour in some oil until reaching the desired level. We then check the coolant level. This also should be close to "max": if it's not, we add more liquid of the same color as the one in the reservoir. Moving on to the brake fluid: normally brake fluid doesn't get consumed, but if it's low, it means the brake pads are wearing out: we add some fluid and remember to replace them at the first opportunity. We then check the windshield cleaning fluid, add it if necessary, and our check is complete.
