Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 15,000 km (9,300 miles) or 12 months for petrol engines, and 20,000 km (12,400 miles) or 12 months for diesel engines, subject to driving conditions (e.g., severe service intervals may be shorter).
Engine Oil Type:
Dependent on engine: RN0700, RN0710, RN0720 specifications often required for petrol and diesel engines respectively. Viscosity grades commonly 5W-30 or 5W-40. Check manual for specific engine.
Coolant Type:
Renault Type D coolant (long-life antifreeze) or equivalent, typically a G12/G13 compliant coolant.
Transmission Fluid Manual:
GL-4 specification, typically SAE 75W-80 or 75W-90. Capacity around 2.2-2.5 liters.
Transmission Fluid Automatic:
Renaultmatic DP0 fluid or equivalent specification, requires specific ATF fluid.
Common Problems:
Common issues can include electronic faults (e.g., injector issues on some dCi engines), swirl flap problems on 1.9 dCi, turbocharger issues on higher mileage dCi engines, suspension component wear (e.g., ball joints, bushings), ignition coil failures on petrol engines, and electrical gremlins related to various sensors and modules. The DP0 automatic gearbox can sometimes exhibit harsh shifting or failure to engage.
