Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Documentation that comes with the Logan, some ridiculous things

As long as we are on the topic of manuals and documentation, I've got three little books with my car. One is the owners manual, and the other two are: 1. Waranty (Jamstva) First Edition, May, 2004. 2. Maintainance (Odrzavanje), Second edition, November, 2004 INTERVALS The first one says that I'm supposed to go to the service every 10 000 km, (10k km, 20k km,....). The second one says that I'm supposed to go to the service every 15 000 km or every year. OIL CHANGING 1. book - every 10 000 km 2. book - after 30 000 km (they've been smoking something) BRAKE PLATES (whatever the name is) 1. book - they chek them visually after 20 000 km 2. book - they chek them visually after every 15 000 km AIR FILTER 1. book - changing after 20 000 km 2. book - changing after 30 000 km or 2 years And so on, and so on..... The best thing is that I've asked my authorised dealer and he doesent now what to do, so he is stamping both of the books, just in case. A ridicilous situation. As long as I do everything I think should be done, and my dealer says that the waranty is valid I'm happy, but this is not a way for a serious company to do buisness. They should stop smoking what ever they are smoking, and get serious. EDIT: As I said this topic got posted twice and I have no Idea why. Did not click the post button twice This post has been edited by Boris: 16 Apr 2005, 12:48

The first one says that I'm supposed to go to the service every 10 000 km, (10k km, 20k km,....).
The second one says that I'm supposed to go to the service every 15 000 km or every year.

OIL CHANGING
1. book - every 10 000 km
2. book - after 30 000 km (they've been smoking something)

BRAKE PLATES (whatever the name is)

it has to be a missunderstanding!
chek it once again, both of them.

I bougt loggy in mid-march this year, and until now, i reached 10k km

here in serbia, first service is on 15k km but I insisted to get it on 10k km

i think that 15 k is very much for that ELF oil , 10k for syntetics is OK

it has to be a missunderstanding!
chek it once again, both of them.

I'm afraid not.

Butt I'll check again. As I said I've got three books with the car, and the one that is called "warranty" and the other that is called "maintainance" have different information.

Not even the guy in the service shop knew in which book he is suposed to put the stamp, so he has stamped both of the books.

I'll send an email to Dacia asking them which book is the righ one. I'm on cca 5000 km, theres still time.

I can tell you that in the Romanian manual is posted that the maintenance is done every 15000 km. However, it is stated that if mainly drive in a crowded city (massive traffic, a lot of stop & go ) it is recomended to change the oil every 7500 km. However, thir recommendation is not mandatory (reads "you will not lose warranty)

Good question ! Nobody know what kind of oil has in own car

Maybe if I'll have oil problems, I'll change the oil complete.

In Romania they use two type of so named "DACIAOIL" ... both semi-sinthetic oils... made by TEXACO ... SAE 5W30 (Acea1) and SAE 10W40 (Acea3)... the use of these motor oils is "recomanded" (please read this "mandatory") according Dacia in order to conserve the waranty... it is not a correct competitional behavior ... but.... they use some legal tricks

I have Elf Competition 10W40

I used to use this ELF oil in my previous car Dacia SupeRNova ... with almost the same 1,4 engine like Logan...

I recomend you to use ELF Excelum 5W40 full synthetic oil!!!

I have Elf Competition 10W40

That doesn`t count.You `ve changed oil at 2000km

That doesn`t count.You `ve  changed oil at 2000km

Acctually at a 1000 km, but I've done it in a authorised Dacia service. I really don't know what was in before that, whatever they have put in in the factory.

OK,and the price was 32€ for oil & oil-filter changing.
What did xtraya say,almost 100€,for what?

it has to be a missunderstanding!
chek it once again, both of them.

OK, so I've finally called my dealer because I'm close to 10 000 km.

One of the books is wrong (tho one that says that the first service is on 10 000 km), the first service is on 15 000 km.
