Routine service items
These are the items covered in a standard service. Most garages include oil, oil filter and a basic inspection. The rest are typically checked or replaced on a schedule.
| Service item | Interval | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
|
Engine oil and filter
Peugeot specifies 12,500 miles or 12 months for commercial vehicles. Use 5W-30 ACEA C2 specification oil. Check oil level monthly due to potential consumption on higher mileage units.

Brake fluid
Every 2 years regardless of mileage. DOT 4 specification. Critical for commercial vehicles with heavy braking loads. Moisture absorption reduces boiling point and can cause brake fade.
