Maintenance -> ENGINE OIL LEVEL for Your Renault Scenic 4 Door Second Generation (2003-2009)

ENGINE OIL LEVEL  
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 between oil changes.  
The squares which appear on the  
display indicate the level. They  
disappear as the oil level drops and  
they are replaced by a dash.

It is vital to top up the oil as soon  
as possible.

instrument panel  
When ignition has been switched  
on for approximately 30 seconds:

level correct message 1.  
Reading the oil level  
The vehicle must be parked on level  
ground and the engine should have  
been switched off for some time  
beforehand 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).  
To gain a more precise indication  
of the level, press the trip mileage  
reset button or the information  
scroll button on the trip computer.  
The display only warns  
the driver if the oil level  
is at the minimum level.  
It does not inform the  
driver that the oil level has  
exceeded the maximum level as  
this can only be measured using  
a dipstick.  
See Engine oil level: Topping  
up/filling, on the following pages.  
The instrument panel display only  
alerts the driver when the oil level is  
at its minimum.
