Renault RN 0700 or RN 0710 compliant, typically 5W-30 or 5W-40 synthetic.

Engine Oil Diesel:

Renault RN 0720 compliant, typically 5W-30 low-SAPS synthetic (essential for DPF health).

Coolant:

Renault specific Type D coolant (long-life, organic acid technology - OAT), often a blue or orange color. Capacity around 6-7 liters.

Brake Fluid:

DOT 4 brake fluid (low viscosity DOT 4 may be specified for ABS systems).

Can develop issues with solenoid valves, valve body, and require regular fluid changes to prevent premature wear.

K4M Engine Timing Belt:

Regular replacement is paramount. Water pump is often replaced concurrently.

K9K Engine Injector Issues:

Can be susceptible to injector problems, especially if fuel quality is poor or maintenance is neglected. DPF regeneration issues can also occur.

Electrical Gremlins:

Some owners report minor electrical issues, often related to sensors or connectivity. Wiring diagrams in the manual are essential for diagnosis.

Suspension Components:

Wear on anti-roll bar links and bushings can occur over time, leading to knocking noises.
