It is important to do your homework regarding the maintenance and repair centre you use for your Renault service - especially for people without in-depth knowledge of car repairs and services.
Put your Renault into good hands, and consult a highly skilled and qualified repair shop.
Service Intervals
Oil change service every 15,000 km or yearly.
Air and fuel filter - every 30 000 km interval but can last up to 100 000 km in modern vehicles.
Cambelt
Most cambelts need to be changed at 90 000 km or after 6 years, but this can vary from every 60 000 km to 180 000 km. Cambelts age and can tear if not changed in time, which will cause major engine damage.
Spark Plugs
Every 30 000 km but can last up to 100 000 km for platinum or iridium spark plugs in modern vehicles.
Transmission Fluid
The change intervals vary from every 45,000 km to a "lifetime" fill. But even for vehicles with a lifetime fill the oil deteriorates and we recommend a change at around 200 000 km or 10 years.
Power steering Fluid
Most vehicles come with a lifetime fill of power steering fluid.
It is recommended that you change the transmission fluid at 200 000 km or after 10 years.
Brake Fluid Flush
Every 2 years.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic (binds water) and deteriorates quite quickly, especially in coastal towns.
Coolant Flush
Every 2 years.
High-quality coolants last longer and give better protection.
Ask your service centre about the recommended coolant for your vehicle.
Aircon Service
Every 3 years.
As the A/C loses a tiny amount of coolant over time, it loses performance. Oil in the coolant protects the moving parts of the A/C.
