ENGINE OIL LEVEL
It is normal for an engine to use oil
for the lubrication and cooling of
moving parts and it is sometimes
necessary to top up the level
between oil changes.
However, if after the running in
period, more than 0.5 litres is used
every 625 miles (1000 km), consult
your Renault Dealer.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level
from
time
to
time
and
certainly before any long journey,
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
several
minutes beforehand to obtain an
accurate reading.
Reading the level on the instrument
panel
When
the
ignition
has
been
switched on for approximately 30
seconds:
-
if the level is correct
, the display
will show “oil OK”: display
message
1
Special feature:
if you want to
know the level more accurately,
press the mileage recorder reset
button.
The squares in the display indicate
the level. The number of squares
displayed reduces as the oil level
drops and they are replaced by a
dash: display message

.
-
if the level is at minimum:
the
letters “OK” no longer appear on
the display, the dashes and the
word “oil” flash (display message

) and the
warning light is
comes on the instrument panel.
It is vital to top up with oil as soon
as possible.
