Changing Oil & Oil Filter - Peugeot RCZ

[@mushintao9486]

I just followed instructions and changed the motor oil and the filter + transmision oil. I saved some €€€! Great video, thanx!

[@MotorScotti]

Thank you for your kind comment

[@davidfoster1762]

Yes a great video . A tip on refilling the engine. Use the oil can sideways rather than vertically . Try it !

[@MGZRJackass]

Did you ever change the fuel filter on this? I’ve a UK model so I was told that the fuel filter for these models were in the actual fuel tank itself and don’t need changed. Only cars sold to very hot climates had a fuel filter in the engine bay that could be changed.

[@MotorScotti]

No I never changed the fuel filter. And yes it's in the tank, but I believe you can access it by removing the rear seat. The access to the fuel pump assembly. The filter should be in there, too but I'm not 100% sure.

[@AhmedNasser-hj6df]

Hi scott. Thank you for the video. But here to change the engine oil they just sack it on the top they don't open the drain valve !! Is that ok ??

[@greensmoke61]

Hi Scotti. Thank you for all the videos you posted so far about the RCZ. I recently did a full service on my RCZ based on your tutorials and everything went smoothly. There is one thing though that I'm struggling with. I can't find the fuel filter. Do you have any idea where it might be located ? I would be most grateful if you could help me. Thank you.

[@MotorScotti]

Hi and thank you very much for watching and for the compliment! The fuel filter is in the tank, I believe one assembly with the pump. If you remove the rear seat you should be able to open the access door in the floor.

[@greensmoke61]

@@MotorScotti Thank you so much for the quick reply. I feared that might be the case. This makes the replacement process quite a job. I think I'll just pass this one. Thank you anyway.

Hello My question is , This is Peugeot RCZ disiel? Thank you

[@MotorScotti]

No, petrol, unleaded

[@BelleBartz-cn9wo]

How do find the dip stick

[@dazzerda]

does anyone have the size of the crush washer please, Thanks

[@freeman6147]

And how do you accurately read the ridiculous dipstick? (Not surprised you left that part out ;-)

[@MotorScotti]

Don't know what you mean. The 6 and a half years I've owned it I've never had any trouble reading the dipstick.

[@freeman6147]

@@MotorScotti Must be me.

[@mikefranky]

@@freeman6147 ......Rcz dipsticks are known to be hard work to read as the problem is all over the Rcz forums with lots of owners complaining about reading them plus Rcz are known to consume a lot of oil.

[@flanners41]

Nice vid. Think Peugeot now endorse Total Ineo First 0w30

[@MotorScotti]

I think so too, when I had it in for the AC gas refill last summer, they wanted to top up the oil with 0w30. I always use 5w30.

[@Tobias_tj]

Hi Scotti, I also used the Bosch filter and it is like in your video, the filter doesn't fit as tight as the original one. It wobbles a little bit in the filter housing. Have you ever had problems with the Bosch filter?

[@MotorScotti]

No it's actually normal. There is always a bit of play. Once the cover is on it's not going anywhere anyway.

[@briandring8331]

Hi Scotti, took friends mothers car RCZ 2.0 HDi to get a fault sorted, EML was on and screen above clock was orange. faults found where Diesel CR/EDC DCM 3.5 ECO U1118 CAN communications with electronics. Automatic stop/ start 2.0 U1118 CAN communications with electronic. Central electronics CE 3.0 two errors 40A engine oil level. 023 communication with info display. Have to go back another day because the owner who only knows how the read the codes was on holiday. Any ideas? You come across them any time, many thanks Brian

[@MotorScotti]

Hi Brian, literally no idea what any of these faults mean. If you hook up a diagnostics reader, the fault codes are shown "PXXXX". You can enter the codes here to read what they mean: obdii.pro/en/code/P1336

[@kennybag]

need to change my thermostat housing for my 2010 Peugeot RCZ Gt 1.6l THP 200 do know of any videos which could help me out or web sites? great videos keep up the good work.

[@MotorScotti]

Sorry I never had to do that and I have sold the RCZ so won't be doing anymore videos on it.

[@juliomendez8472]

Hi Scotti, Great videos, 2 questions, did the Engine defect error dissapeared for good? and have you had any oil consumption issues on the RCZ? I have a 308 GTi same year and engine and have the very same error without the CEL on, and some oil consumption...

[@MotorScotti]

Julio Mendez Hi Julio, this engine will always burn some oil. Mine needs about 1.5l per 30'000 km. Some need more, some need less. The engine error code did come back much later. I presume I will have to change the high pressure fuel pump but I haven't touched this car since the coolant change. Thank you for watching.

[@kevinlawler196]

Hi Scotty. Or anyone else does anybody know where the location of the oil pressure switch it's driving me mad cannot find it old help kevin

[@MotorScotti]

Sorry no idea, I don't have the car anymore. Must be pretty easy to google as these engine are used all over PSA and MINI.

[@kevinlawler196]

@@MotorScotti nothing on Google

[@MotorScotti]

There are several diagrams popping up with the oil pressure sensor location if you google it.

[@evieemaya88]

I think some great quick videos could be how to jack up the rcz and how to change tyre

[@MotorScotti]

Thanks but that's all in the owner's manual. :)

[@evieemaya88]

MotorScotti yes buy for 2nd hand owners like myself who manual has been lost it would be good. Just an idea. Keep up the work

[@MotorScotti]

Arts&Trusts Just google and download one, they are easy to find or ask a dealer or the official importer to send you one. ;)

[@evghenijet142]

Hi Scotti! I'm also owned Peugeot Rcz, THP200, Year 2011.I think we have absolutely same car =) I want to ask you about Oil Brand, Type and Viscosity. As I know Original Oil is Total 5W-30,but I have no idea which Total Oil ( Total quartz INEO ESC or Total Quartz 9000, Total Quartz 9000 Energy. May be you can help me,PLEASE ? because I really want to use the original oil. Many thanks!

[@MotorScotti]

Evgheni Jet Hi, the original oil is marked in the owner's manual. However, it's not easy to get the Total oil in every country. I don't care about the brand as long as it's a well known brand like Total, Shell or Castrol. The important thing is to use the right viscosity - 5W30 and that it's for petrol cars. For my last oil change I used Shell Helix Ultra 5W30 and it's perfectly fine.

[@marcandremanfredi3498]

MotorScotti Peugeot on rcz now use 0/30 uses a bit more oil but less fuel consumption and better from cold...

[@Ikenna351cars]

Recommended is Total Quartz Ineo ECS 5w-30 or Total Quartz Ineo First 0w-30

[@Ubinnhad]

My Peugeot dealer in the UK now uses Total Quartz Ineo First 0w-30 for my THP156

[@marcandremanfredi3498]

Hello Scotti from Malaga! Have you thought to change the power steering liquid ? Please keep us informed on next jobs on the rcz! Enjoy

[@MotorScotti]

Hi Marc, thank you for your interest. However, I have sold my RCZ a while ago, there will be no more new content on the RCZ. You need to keep up with my videos :-) just kidding.

[@cristianfresa3514]

Hi, my name is Cristian and I'm from Argentina. I follow your channel, I have a Peugeot 308 Gti, which has the same engine as your rcz. I wanted to ask you, your car, does it have a fuel / naphtha filter? If so, where is it located? greetings desdd argentina! Thank you!

[@fvera03]

HI, my name is Fernando from Mexico, I have the same question, I have a 2013 Peugeot 308 RC and I have no idea where the fuel filter is located, does anyone knows?

[@cristianfresa3514]

Fernando Vera hola Fernando. En mi caso, el filtro de nafta viene dentro de la Bomba nafta. No viene por fuera, como para poder cambiarlo. Espero haberte ayudado. Saludos!

[@fvera03]

@@cristianfresa3514 Muchas gracias Cristian, le voy a revisar a ver si es lo miso.

[@andy4ward.slavaukraini.364]

Very informative my friend

[@Rumpypumpyify]

Thought the oil was 0w30 for a 1.6 200 hp motor.

[@MotorScotti]

They changed the recommendation later on from 5w3o to 0w30

[@magedhafez5176]

Guys just a question that crossed my mind, Can i fit this engine in a volvo S60 2014 ??? Would be a fun project if possible.

[@MotorScotti]

Do it and make a video about it! :)

The gear oil is more of a bitch to change

[@MotorScotti]

Yes, I'm gonna look into that eventually but it's not urgent.

[@benny704]

I changed mine at 90000kms as the gear changes were getting really crunchy. You must remove the air intake pipes then the battery to get to the breather hole, then drain from underneath. I might make a video on it too.. there needs to be more videos about this car :P

[@MotorScotti]

Thanks for the tip! What oil are you using for the gearbox? I agree, there is a need for more RCZ videos. :)

[@benny704]

I used Total 75w80 like it says in the service manual but I think like everything you can use it as long as its the same grade. It was a bitch to get Total in Australia where I am so next time I'll probably just use something else. But I think you are from Europe so it'll be very easy. Regardless though as long as its 75w80 I think you'll be ok :)

[@MotorScotti]

perfect, thank you very much! Fresh oil never hurts!:) yes, I'm in Europe, Switzerland to be precise. Total oil being french is PSA's favourite oil brand, but it's quite easy to get here as well.
