What kind of engine oil does the Renault Koleos use?
2 Answers
Renault Koleos uses fully synthetic 0W40 engine oil. Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. The Koleos is a model under Renault Automobile Company, with body dimensions of 4520mm in length, 1865mm in width, and 1715mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2690mm. In terms of appearance, the Koleos features a fashionable and expressive front face design, showcasing a stylish and dynamic temperament. The air intake grille is lowered overall, and the outer chrome frame is removed, highlighting the bold and majestic style of the SUV model.
I've been driving a Renault Koleos for several years, and it's generally recommended to use 5W-30 full synthetic oil, as stated in the manual. This oil viscosity is suitable for most driving conditions. With it, my engine runs quieter, and fuel consumption has decreased slightly. Synthetic oil ensures quick starts in winter and doesn't get too thick in summer heat, protecting internal engine components from wear. The oil change interval is about every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers—don't delay it too long. From personal experience, don't skimp by buying mineral or low-grade oils, as they accelerate engine aging. If 5W-30 isn't available, 5W-40 is an alternative, but it's best to consult a professional technician first. Overall, regular maintenance with good-quality oil keeps the car running longer and more reliably.
