How to drain engine oil on Peugeot 3008 I and 5008 I

1- Use a deep steel baking mold inside a bigger plastic bin. The steel mold will receive the hot oil first.
2- Start unscrewing the oil change plug little by little until oil starts to spill into the trays.
3- Keep holding the plug with the tool when taking it out to avoid any contact with your hands and let the oil flow.
4- You may now open the engine oil refill cover, not before. 
5- Inspect it and check for any creamy compound.

9- Look inside the oil filter base, eventually remove trapped oil with a syringe
10- Prepare the new oil filter supplied with its new seal and new ring seals for the oil change plug as well.
   
11- Start first by fitting the new oil filter seal in its groove. Put some oil on it, fit the new filter cartridge and tighten gently the oil filter casing by hand first, then with the ratchet handle but without applying force and without squeezing the rubber ring.
12- Replace the sump plug seal with a new one as a systematic measure. Do not use the same seal.
13- Tighten the oil change plug until you compress the seal and clean well the oil sump with a dry cloth.

​
14- Wrap the oil hole with a towel or old socks to avoid any oil spills on your engine cover. Use the adequate oil and oil quantity, which is 4.25 liters for the EP6 engine.
15- Empty the trays into the same oil containers to measure how much is still left. A 1l consumption between changes is normal. Read more about low oil level symptoms...
