Megane I 1997

Unread post by toh »

Dear All,

i need some help again.

i just replace the engine oil by myself ( the last user let it be 20,000 km from the previous replacement) .
but the problem is that there is a "000 000 oil" on the mil age display.

i guess that this is the service oil counter ..

how to reset this one to let it start new counting.

Thank you

Toh

Not at all but the Renault forum has a lot fewer posts and viewers than the Citroen forum.
A lot of Citroen and Peugeot stuff is applicable to both but a lot of Renault items differ.

You could try the Citroen/Peugeot trick of pressing the trip meter reset button then turn the ignition to the second click but don't start it - IIRC this works on Vauxhalls & VWs too.
You will probably find that it will count down to zero or to the correct distance for the car to travel to the next service point.

Dear Toh,
I am not really sure to be honest, but you may try;- whilst " holding " the trip reset button " in " constantly and turning your ignition key " on " and then " off, and " on " again and " off again, and turn it " on " again and finally " off " once more. ( So that is 3 on and off 3 times in total ) and after the switching off for the last, keep your finger pressed on the trip reset button for a few seconds afterwards, and hopefully that may work.

hi,
its normal.
the row of O,s are the oil level.
if the oil level drops the O's will change to a _
