moving parts and it is sometimes
necessary to top up the oil level
between oil changes. However, if
more than 1 litre is used every 625
miles (1000 km) after the running in
period, consult your Renault Dealer.
Oil change frequency: Check the oil
level approximately every 625
miles (1000 km) and certainly
before any long journey, to avoid
the risk of damaging your engine.
