I agree with you bro. Need to modify my post. It's miles not km

Don't bother changing it. Your car is calibrated in Km not miles.

Chief, I think you maybe using a wrong oil for this car. Mobil XHP is 20w-50. The oil cap and owners manual on this car states that you use 5w-30. 5w-30 is not readily available. So I think the next closest should be Mobil 1 0w-40, Total quartz 9000 or Shell helix 5w-40..

Its quite late to revert back to recommended or near recommended oil due to sludge which has built up and clogged some parts. If synthetic fluid is now used, they will wash off the sludge (synthetic oil have active detergents to wash engine inerds) and this could create lots of problem from leaky seals to smoking, intolerance and ultimately necessitate an engine replacement.

My though exactly. It being a US brand, that mileage sure is in Miles. The km equivalent then should be 469,928.5km

your mileage is in KM

the odometer reading corresponds to the top most part of the speedometer.

if the major (outer) reading of the speedometer is in mph, your odometer is in miles, and visa versa .

the attached pix for instance is in MILES

Uhmm... Not sure about how I feel about that, considering that fact that my insurance may not cover the car since its been customized and stuff...

Hi dear, this car of yours , is it manual ?
agurza:
Peugeot 307, 2005 model, mileage is 308425 presently, Abuja - Kano every Friday and Kano - Abuja every Monday. I use total quartz 9000 for service, I normally change timing and engine belt every December, still strong moving like fighter jet. Still enjoying it no plan of selling it now. I think mileage is just a number it never affect engine performance.

Any car with more than 75,000 miles is considered high Milage. It's recommended to Use only high mileage oil during oil change to prolong engine life.

If the mileage is in miles the temperature would be in Farenheit. The temperature is 32C...which means the mileage reading is metric...Km Modified after reading Kingreign comment. Miles cause larger reading is in MPH.
@Op.... not a mechanic...but if your car is that well professionally maintained your battery light should not be on. Suggests to me that you have battery or alternator problem. Car looks fine !...but damn...you wash every day?.. may soon need paint job.
