Engine Oil Level - Renault Wind Handbook

engine oil level: general information
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 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.
In order to prevent splashing, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling the oil.
The engine may be hot
when working in close prox-
imity. In addition, the engine
cooling fan may start at any
moment.
