Let's see how to check the fluid levels of the Renault Scenic III: let's start with the engine oil: we extract the dipstick, clean it with a cloth, reinsert it, extract it again and check the level, which should be between "min" and "max". Never exceed "max" as an excess of oil can seriously damage the engine: if we are close to "min" we add oil according to the manufacturer's specifications.

The coolant is located in the semi-transparent expansion tank with a blue cap. Here too, the level should be between "min" and "max". If liquid needs to be added, it must be the same color as the one already in the tank.

Brake fluid theoretically does not get consumed. If the level is low, add some, but this indicates that the brake pads are worn out: schedule a replacement.

Now locate the windshield washer fluid reservoir and fill it with quality fluid suitable for the season: never use tap water.
