Peugeot 3008 1.6 BlueHDi 120 (2018): Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change

The DV6 (BlueHDi) diesel lubrication system is serviced by changing the oil and the filter element. The usual interval is 20,000 km or once a year. For city driving with lots of short trips and frequent particulate filter regenerations, it is better to shorten it to 10,000-15,000 km. Oil with the wrong specification clogs the particulate filter, so choose it strictly by approval.

Difficulty: Medium Time: 45-90 minutes Steps: 10 Tools: lift or inspection pit (or reliable jack stands), drain pan of 6 L (6.3 qt) or larger, socket or wrench for the drain plug (check the type and size on the plug itself: PSA uses both external hex and internal hex), socket or cap-style wrench for the oil filter cover, torque wrench, funnel, rags, and a wrench or screwdriver for the undertray if needed

Part

🔩 engine oil 5W-30 meeting PSA B71 2312 (low-ash, ACEA C2/C1, required for diesels with a particulate filter), about 4.2-4.5 L (4.4-4.8 qt) including the filter. Oil filter: a filter element (cartridge) in a plastic housing, plus a set of seal rings for the cover. New drain plug sealing washer

Step by step

10 steps

Warm the engine up to operating temperature so the oil is thin, then shut it off and wait 5-10 minutes. Park the car on level ground and raise it on a lift or drive it over a pit.
Remove the undertray if one is fitted. Position the drain pan under the oil pan.
Open the oil filler cap on the engine so the oil drains faster, then unscrew the drain plug. Be careful: the oil is hot. Drain it completely and wait until it stops dripping (about 10-15 minutes).
While the oil drains, open the oil filter cover on the top of the engine. Put rags underneath, because residual oil runs out of the housing. Remove the old cartridge and take the rubber seal rings off the cover.
Wipe the seat in the housing clean of dirt. Lubricate the new seal rings with clean oil and fit them onto the cover. Insert the new filter element and thread the cover in without cross-threading. Tighten to the specified torque (the plastic cover takes a low torque, so do not overtighten and do not use extensions).
Wipe the threads and the sealing surface of the drain hole, fit the new drain plug sealing washer, and screw the plug in. The torque for a plug in an aluminum oil pan is usually moderate, so do not overtighten, and if possible tighten it with a torque wrench to the value in the service manual.
Pour about 4 L (4.2 qt) of oil into the engine, wait a couple of minutes for it to drain down into the oil pan, and check the level on the dipstick. Top up to the MAX mark, but not above it.
Start the engine for 30-60 seconds (the oil pressure light should go out immediately or within 1-2 seconds) and check for leaks at the filter and the plug. Shut the engine off, wait 5-10 minutes, and check the dipstick level again, topping up if necessary.
Refit the undertray. Reset the service interval counter through the trip computer menu (instrument cluster or touchscreen, maintenance section).
Take the used oil and the old filter to a collection point. Do not pour them onto the ground or down a drain.

Common mistakes and warnings

For BlueHDi engines with a particulate filter, never use regular high-ash oil (ACEA A3/B4 and similar): it clogs the particulate filter and leads to expensive repairs. Do not exceed the oil level on the dipstick. Too much oil is as harmful to a diesel as too little, and with fuel dilution the level in the engine rises over time. If the level has risen between changes or the oil smells of diesel fuel, this indicates a problem with particulate filter regeneration or the injectors, so take the car to a repair shop.
