for lubrication and cooling of
moving parts and it is sometimes
necessary to top up the level
between oil changes.
However, contact your RENAULT
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is
being consumed every 600 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.

ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time
beforehand to obtain an accurate
