When owned by a handsome French man, no mandatory rule is the annual station visit Maintenance for planned replacement oils and filters. Perhaps every self-respecting car owner can cope with this task. Doing it yourself at least once can save you money and improve your technical knowledge.
Scheduled maintenance must be carried out every 10,000 km. Thus, you will keep the engine in excellent, well-groomed condition, which will undoubtedly affect the service life.
What kind of oil to pour
How much to pour (filling volumes)
Before starting work, make sure that you have bought everything and have it at hand:
- New oil;
- Oil filter;
- Rags;
- Basin for ~ 5 l;
- Key for removing the protection (if necessary) and the drain plug;
Replacement step by step
- Warm up cold engine 3-4 minutes. Cold oil will drain badly from the engine, as a result, a lot of dirty oil may remain, which you will eventually mix with a new one. Thus, the performance of the new oil will deteriorate.
- We put the car on jacks or on inspection pit (perfect option) for easy access to the bottom. In some models, a "protection" of the engine crankcase can be installed. She needs to be woken up to access drain plug.
- We unscrew the filler cap, take out oil dipstick... The oil drains faster if there is a through hole.
- We substitute a basin or any other utensil that can hold 5 liters of working off.
- We unscrew the drain plug with a wrench (it is better if the ratchet wakes up). It is best to expect the oil to wake up hot right away. At this stage of the work, you need to be most careful.
- After completely draining the old dirty oil, which is black, we remove the basin to the side.
- An optional item is flushing the engine with a special flushing fluid. You will be surprised what kind of black oil will pour out with this liquid. This liquid is very easy to use. We fill in the engine, after having screwed 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 that, we muffle and drain into a free container.
- We change the oil filter to a new one. Before you put 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 with new oil, guided by the dipstick. The level should be between the minimum and maximum mark. 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 idle for about 10 minutes.
Video materials
A visual video (not in Russian) shows how and what to turn to change the oil and the cleaning filter on the 307.
Regular replacement of the oil and oil filter is one of the most important vehicle maintenance procedures. Over time, the liquid loses its original properties. In order for the power unit to serve its owner for many more years, an oil change in the power unit will be required.
When does the oil change?
The procedure for changing the oil on the advice of the manufacturer is once every 15 thousand kilometers. Auto experts recommend changing the fluid every 8-10 thousand kilometers or according to the existing signs of the need for replacement.
Signs of need for replacement oil liquid in the Peugeot engine:
- Engine noise;
- Decreased indicators of dynamics;
- Increased consumption;
- Overheat power unit;
- Detection of metal shavings when inspecting the oil;
- Darkening of the liquid on visual inspection.
Which oil to choose?
Before choosing an oil, it will be necessary to analyze the conditions in which the vehicle is operated.
Operating conditions:
- Season in which the vehicle is operated. Depends on what time of the year the car oil changes, before winter or before summer. Based on this, the viscosity is selected.
- Composition of the substance... Most of the popular brands on the market differ from one another. It is about the composition of the lubricant and additional additives. Depending on the preferences of the car owner: synthetics, semi-synthetics or mineral oil.
- Manufacturer... It can be domestic, European or American. Often the parameters of the lubricant depend on the manufacturer.
Diy Peugeot 307 engine oil change process
Before starting the procedure for changing the oil in the Peugeot 307 engine, it is recommended to prepare for work.
Required tools:
- A set of hex keys or wrenches;
- Screwdriver;
- Pliers;
- Fresh oil;
- Oil filter;
- Container for waste liquid;
- Replaceable drain plug washer;
- Special clothing and gloves.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Place the vehicle on a level surface (use a pit, overpass or lift).
- Open the hood. Unscrew the oil filler cap and pull out the dipstick. Air will enter the system, the oil will drain better.
- Remove crankcase cover. Located at the bottom of the vehicle. Unscrew the bolts around the perimeter. Use pliers or a screwdriver if necessary.
- A view of the drain plug will open. Use a wire brush. Clean the area around the drain plug. Place the container under the opening. Unscrew the drain plug carefully. The liquid will pour. Wait 10-15 minutes.
- Unscrew the oil filter in parallel with the oil drain. Note: if metal shavings are found in the filter, screw it back to flush the engine.
- Purchase flushing fluid... Screw on the drain plug. Fill the oil filler hole with liquid until required level... Start the power unit. Leave it to work for 5-10 minutes. Stop the engine. Unscrew the drain plug again to drain the flushing fluid.
- Install a new oil filter. To do this, you need to unscrew the old one. Use a special puller. If it's not on hand, a screwdriver will do. Using a screwdriver, pierce the housing closer to the edge of the filter. Use it as a lever. Unscrew counterclockwise.
- Install a new filter. To do this, pour about 100 grams of oil (about half of the body). Tighten until the cylinder filter O-ring contacts. Then twist by hand. Do not overdo it. If tightened too tightly, next replacement there will be a problem: it will be difficult to unscrew it.
- Screw on the drain plug. Pour the required amount of oil through the oil filler neck. Pour in about three liters. Check the subsequent ones every 100-200 grams with a dipstick. Attention: do not exceed the maximum mark. If you overfill, the excess oil will need to be drained.
- Start the engine. The oil pressure indicator should go out. If this does not happen after 2-3 seconds, the engine will need to be turned off urgently. The light indicates that there is no the right pressure... Therefore, you will need to check the system for leaks. Pay particular attention to the oil filter and drain plug. They may not be fully clamped. If there are no leaks, restart the engine after a few minutes. The auto oil pressure indicator should go out. Let the engine run for a few minutes until it reaches operating temperature. Shut off the power unit. Check the oil level after 15-20 minutes. If it drops, oil will need to be topped up.
The process of changing the oil in the Peugeot 307 1.6 engine is completed.
Consequences of untimely replacement
If the oil is not changed in time, the channels will gradually clog and oxidize. Naturally, they are not able to perform specific functions, so the fluid in the system becomes completely useless.
Possible car breakdowns:
- Overheating of the power unit;
- Clogged oil channels;
- An increase in friction between the parts of the power unit, as a result of which premature wear occurs;
- The engine and its parts do not prevent the development of rust.
To prevent this from happening, you need to change the engine oil at least every 10 thousand kilometers.
Serial production of the Peugeot 307 started at the beginning of 2001. The novelty has become an ideological continuation lineup from the French manufacturer and replaced the Peugeot 306, which did not have time to "age". The car belongs to the C-segment and is developed on the basis of a new platform from the PSA concern. The 307th underwent only one restyling in 2005 and lasted on the assembly line until 2008, after which its release was officially completed, although until 2011 the model was assembled at factories in Argentina. The car was presented in the bodies of a station wagon, a hatchback, a sedan (in some countries) and a coupe-convertible (since 2003 - a small-scale 307 SS, which was imported into Russia with 2.0-liter engines with a capacity of 143 and 180 hp). The next incarnation of the 300 series differed from its predecessor in significantly increased dimensions - this is no longer a familiar compact machine, but a typical representative of the middle class.
Peugeot 307 was equipped with a fairly wide range of engines, traditional for the entire Peugeot lineup. But low-power units with a volume of 1.1 liters disappeared from it, and diesels became stronger. Gasoline engines had volumes of 1.4 (75 -88 HP), 1.6 (108 HP) and 2.0 liters (140-177 HP). At the same time, the 108-horsepower unit was the most popular in Europe. Further in the article it will be told about what kind of oil and how much to pour into each motor.
The 2005 update brought the car some noticeable cosmetic updates. In particular, the front end has received a new design in the form of redesigned front lights and bumpers. The manufacturer removed the grille, replacing it with a huge air intake on the bumper. If we compare the car with competitors, then it is on a par with the Honda Civic and Citroen C4 hatchbacks, but Peugeot had a significant advantage over the latter in the form spacious salon and a roomy trunk.

Peugeot 307 is the most popular model of the French company. This model has a successor in the person of the 308, but this does not mean at all that the original "three hundred and seventh" is completely outdated, which is confirmed by the rather high sales of this car in the supported market. In addition, this car has a simple design, which means that it is possible to carry out self service... Thus, it is possible to reduce the cost of some procedures that can be completely solved on their own - for example, changing the oil in the engine. This task does not require professional skills. It is much more difficult not to replace, but to choose the right engine oil. This question worries almost every owner of Peugeot 307. In this article we will consider optimal parameters and brands in order to choose the best oil for the Peugeot 307 engine.
Before choosing a manufacturer, it is important to pay attention to several aspects:
- Determine in what climatic (temperature) conditions the car is constantly used. You also need to pay attention to when to fill in the lubricant - before winter, or before summer. This is indicated by the viscosity parameter denoted as MM.
- The composition of a substance is different, and depends not only on a particular manufacturer, but also on various characteristics, including the presence of certain additives. According to certain parameters, you can choose three types of oil - mineral, synthetic or semi-synthetic.
- Manufacturer - for a car of this level, you should choose oils from American or European companies. And yet, it is much more important to consider the manufacturer's recommendations first.
Note that the Peugeot 307 rolled off the assembly line with the original Total Quartz factory oil. This grease has the most optimal viscosity, tolerance and other details to ensure safe and reliable work engine Peugeot 307. Unfortunately, this is the highest quality and, at the same time, the most expensive oil that not every owner of the Peugeot 307 can afford. That is why the owner's manual for the car contains all the necessary parameters that you need to know when choosing an oil absolutely different brands(analogs).
Practice shows that Peugeot 307 owners often use Total Quartz. This oil is no worse in its properties than, for example, Mobil or Liqui Moli. It is believed that Total Quartz is suitable for a quieter ride, and Liqui Moli can be recommended for sports fans. Mobil - universal oil suitable for different driving styles.

Good afternoon. I am a user of a Peugeot 307 2007 onwards, a 2.0 l turbodiesel with a particulate filter. I don't know which oil is better: 1. 3741, Top Tec 4300, Motoröl 5W-30; 2. Liqui Moly 3707 Top Tec 4200 Motoröl 5 W-30. But Peugeot manufacturers recommend Total Quartz ineo 5w-30. But I am confused by the fact that Total is almost 2 times cheaper. Please tell me which oil to use in order to protect the engine as much as possible and not harm particulate filter? Many thanks! (Oleg)
Hello Oleg. Choice consumable for the engine is actually important nuance, which affects the service life of the vehicle as a whole. We will try to give you the necessary recommendations for choosing a liquid.

What kind of oil to pour in the Peugeot 307?
Before choosing a manufacturer motor fluid, there are several aspects to consider.
In particular, we are talking about:
- The time of year when the consumable will be used. In this case, it all depends on whether you fill in the lubricant before winter or before summer. From this, the degree of viscosity of MM should be selected.
- The composition of the substance. Today, there are many different MMs on the domestic market, which differ among themselves not only by the manufacturer, but also by the composition of the lubricant, as well as the additive package added. Depending on your preferences, you can buy "semi-synthetics", "mineral water" or hydrocracking fluid.
- Manufacturer - it can be either European or American. Often the characteristics of the lubricant depend on the manufacturer.
However, despite the variety of varieties and manufacturers, it is also important to take into account the recommendations of the Peugeot 307 manufacturer. You already know what is included with vehicle certain oil is supplied, in particular. Since all the recommendations for choosing a fluid are indicated in the manual for the operation of a car, in principle it is not necessary to focus on a specific manufacturer. The main thing in this case is accounting technical characteristics and all the tolerances noted in the manual.
Also, it will not be superfluous to take into account in general technical condition motor, as well as its resource of work. You don't have to use Total Quartz, but from ourselves we want to say that this oil, in principle, is no worse than the same Mobile or Liquid Moli. In practice, the owners of Peugeot 307 often use Total Quartz, the appropriateness of its use depends solely on driving style. If, as they say, you like to “sink the gas into the floor” and prefer an aggressive driving style, then in your case it would be more appropriate to use Liquid Moli. But if you drive calmly, then Total Quartz is quite suitable for you - keep in mind that in this case you will only overpay for the brand.
