Engine Oil Level - Renault TWINGO Manual

ENGINE OIL LEVEL

It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubricating and cooling 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 (1,000 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 vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time before-
hand to obtain an accurate reading.
The dipstick must be used to read the
exact oil level and make sure that the
maximum level has not been exceeded
(risk of engine damage).

Reading the level using the
dipstick
– take out the dipstick;
– wipe the dipstick using a clean, lint-
free cloth;
– push in the dipstick as far as it will
go;
– take out the dipstick again;
read the level: it should never fall
below minimum mark B or exceed
maximum mark A.
Consult your RENAULT Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Exceeding the maximum engine
oil level
Under no circumstances should
maximum filling level
A be exceeded: risk of engine
racing and possible destruction of
the engine.
The oil level should only be read with
the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact a RENAULT dealer.
Take care when working in
the engine compartment
as the engine cooling fan
may start to operate at any
moment without warning.
Risk of injury.
