Engine Oil Level; Reading The Oil Level; Reading The Oil Level On The Instrument Panel - Renault Scenic 2002 Owner's Manual

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 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
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 some time
beforehand to obtain an accurate
reading.
The oil level can be read:
- on the instrument panel;
- using the dipstick.
