Engine Oil - Topping Up, Filling - Renault KWID 2023 User Manual

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 1,000 kms 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.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

Reading the oil level
– Remove the dipstick and wipe with a
clean, lint-free cloth.
– Guide the dipstick in as far as it will
go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-
type dipstick, screw the cap in as far
as it will go).
– Take out the dipstick again.
– Read the level: it should never fall
below minimum mark or exceed
maximum mark.
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is guided
in as far as it will go or that the "cap-
type dipstick" is completely screwed in.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill level
be exceeded: risk of damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.
Before performing any
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must
be switched off by pressing
the engine stop button (please see
the information on "Starting, stop-
ping the engine" in Section 2).
