ENGINE OIL LEVEL
It is normal for an engine to use oil
for lubrication and cooling of
moving parts and it is sometimes
necessary to top up the oil level
between oil changes. However, if
more than 1 litre is used every 625
miles (1000 km) after the running in
period, consult your Renault Dealer.
Oil change frequency: Check the oil
level approximately every 625
miles (1000 km) and certainly
before any long journey, to avoid
the risk of damaging your engine.
Level:
The car must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for several
minutes beforehand to obtain an
accurate reading.
Never run the engine in
an enclosed space as
exhaust fumes are
poisonous.
Reading the level on the
instrument panel
Wait for at least one minute before
switching on the ignition to read the
instrument panel level.
When the ignition is switched on:
- If the oil level is correct, no
display appears on the instrument
panel. (The temperature is
displayed - refer to section 1.)
- If the oil level is below the
minimum level, it will be
displayed for approximately
20 seconds and the oil level
warning symbol will appear on
the multifunction display.
Measurement of the oil level is
prompted by opening the driver's
door.
The oil must be topped up, using
the dipstick to measure the level.
Reading the level using the dipstick
It should never be allowed to fall
below the minimum mark (B) or
exceed the maximum mark (A).
