2001 (51reg) 2.0 - oil change - sloop
Is it possible for me to change the oil on a Peugeot 406 Estate without any special tools. 2000cc 51yr.

{year/engine details added to subject header - as per the 3 separate requests to do so}

My wife has a 98 406 1.8 petrol. According to Haynes it is almost identical to the 2.0

I've been changing the oil on this ever since it was out of warranty in 1999 and its dead easy, no special tools required. I presume you will be changing the filter as well. Its down the front of the engine facing the back of the radiatior and it is accessible enough.
