Should I check my Peugeot 505 motor oil level?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Peugeot 505 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Peugeot oil on my own?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Peugeot 505 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

What can cause the oil light on my Peugeot 505 to illuminate?

Your Peugeot 505 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.

Do I need to replace my 505’s oil filter when changing my oil?

You should replace your Peugeot 505 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.

Peugeot recommends having your 1986 Peugeot 505’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your 505 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Peugeot recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Peugeot 505. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
