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 ignition has been switched
on for approximately 30 seconds:
-
if the level is satisfactory
, the
display will show oil OK: display
message

.
Special note:
if you want a more
accurate
reading,
press
the
mileage recorder reset button. 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

.
-
if the level is at minimum:
the letters
“OK” no longer appear on the
display, the dashes and the word
“oil” flash (display message
3
) and
the
warning
light
is
comes on the instrument panel.
It is vital to top up with oil as soon as
possible.
