ENGINE OIL LEVEL
An engine uses oil for lubrication
and to coolmoving parts and it is
sometimes necessary to top up the
level between oil changes.
However, consult your Renault
Dealer if more than 0.5 litre is
being consumed every 625 miles
(1000 km) after the running-in
period.
Oil change frequency: Check the oil
level from time to time and always
before long journeys, to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The car must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time
beforehand to obtain an accurate
reading.
The oil level can be read:
- on the instrument panel;
- using the dipstick.
Reading the level on the instrument
panel
When ignition has been switched
on for approximately 30 seconds:
- if the level is correct, the display
will show “oil OK”: display
message 1
Special note: To gain a more
precise indication of the level,
press the trip mileage counter
reset button or the information
scroll button on the on-board
computer.
The squares which appear on the
display indicate the level. The
number of squares displayed
decreases as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by a dash: display
message 2.
To move to on-board computer
reading, press the button again.
- When the minimum oil level is
reached, the dashes and the word
“Oil” flash, and the word “OK”
disappears (display message 3)
and some versions
lights up on the instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon
as possible.
