Renault Clio: Engine oil level: topping up, filling
Topping up/filling

The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be cold
(for instance, before the engine is started
up for the first time in the day).
Before performing any
action in the engine compartment,
the ignition must
be switched off by pressing
the engine stop button (please see
the information on “Starting, stopping
the engine” in Section 2). |

- Unscrew cap 1;
- top up the level (as a guide, the capacity
between the minimum and
maximum reading on the dipstick 2
is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending
on the engine);
- wait for approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
- check the level using the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the operation has been completed,
ensure that the dipstick is pushed
in as far as it will go and that the cap is
completely screwed in.

In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil. |
Do not exceed the max level and
do not forget to refit cap 1 and dipstick
2. |
