1995 RENAULT MEGANE SCENIC oil level

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Oil change frequencies
23
The mechanism is drained during the major service.
The oil level must be checked every 10000 miles (15 000 km) in case there is a slight oil leak.
The final drive is never drained ; it is filled for life.
The strainer is no longer replaced (NT 2261A).
Only the level may change due to a slight leak.
Oil capacity
NOTE :if the automatic transmission is replaced, only check the oil level since the transmission is supplied by
the Parts Department full of oil.

MESSAGE FROM THE ELECTRONIC FAULT
WARNING LIGHT
Normal operation :
• The warning light is not illuminated during
normal operation whether the vehicle is being
started, engine running or when the vehicle is
stationary.
Presence of a fault :
• Vehicle stopped, engine running, or when
driving, warning light permanently illuminated
• Vehicle moving, warning light illuminates and
extinguishes without action at the ignition key.
• Vehicle moving, warning light illuminates
briefly.Oil temperature < - 20 °C or > + 140 °C
• Vehicle moving or stationary, warning light
flashes at a rate of approximately 1 flash per
second, in this case, reduce the performance
requirement by moderating acceleration.

Oil pressure
Before starting:
- if the gearbox has been drained, fill it with 3.5
litres of oil,
- if you are simply checking the level, you must
add 0.5 litre of the recommended type of oil.
1-Vehicle on a 4 post lift, transmission at am-
bient temperature.
2-Start the engine with the selector lever in the
Park position.
3-Connect the
XR25 test kit and enter:
D14then
#0 4
4-Raise the vehicle and allow the engine to run
until it reaches a temperature of 60 °C.
5-When the desired temperature has been rea-
ched, open the top-up plug; allow the excess
oil to overflow (must be more than 0.1 litre)
for approximately 20 seconds. Replace the
plug
6-If the volume of oil which flowed out is less
than 0.1 litre, the level is not correct. Repeat
the operation.
In this case, add 1 litre of the recommended oil
and allow the transmission to cool down between
successive operations.

FILLING - TOPPING UP
Filling is performed though tube (D).
Use a funnel fitted with a 15/100 filter so as to
prevent any impurities entering.
The level
MUST be checked in accordance with the
following method:
94845R1
The transmission is fitted with an oil pressure
take-off. Connect the B.Vi. 1215 to check the
automatic transmission pressure sensor only.
The oil pressure cannot be altered.
Its value is determined by the electronic compu-
ter.

On versions with ABS
Refit the mounting nut
(C) from the ABS electro-
pump unit on the rubber mounting.
94933R
Refit:
- the plastic shield in the front left wheel arch,
- the front left hand wheel,
- the air filter,
- the expansion bottle.
Fill with oil and check the level.
NOTE :every time the hydraulic distributor is re-
placed or removed, replace the modulating sole-
noid valve filter, the strainer and its seal.
