Great for the speed of the response!!! Indeed, copper gaskets are much cheaper but are the crankcases of your vehicles really aluminum? My vehicle is a 2014 Scenic 3 1.5 L DCI. Thanks again!!!

Good morning,
Thank you for this very complete and clear tutorial. Just a question about the seal: I read that the housing was made of aluminum and that it was then necessary to put a bimaterial seal. What do you think?
Regarding the diameter, I find in this type of joint the internal diameter of 16.5 and 14. As you recommend 16, I suppose that I must take 16.5 (or 16 in copper??) Thanks in advance

Hello, our Scenic has about 170500 kms today and I have always used Ø16 copper gaskets since the beginning. On my Megane 2 Estate with the same block, I kept it until its 287000 kms without any problem having bought it new. I am not against bimaterial gaskets, but given the price, I continue to use copper gaskets, and I have never had any problem on any of my vehicles.

The real problem is that the filters are always too tight, it's even worse when they are poorly placed or in a very cluttered place, this is the case here. Tightening is: contact and 3/4 turn. As the mechanics tighten with a key they don't monitor their tightening so it's a pain the next time you disassemble.
Moreover, the recommendation is certainly 30,000 kms but that is heresy, it is for "normal" uses which are in fact relative to road and motorway use so...5 to 20% of us. In "severe" use so clearly everyone, it is half as much so 15,000 kms or 1 year. Otherwise it is 1) the turbo then 2) the engine.
For 1 can of 5w30 RN0720 at €25 on sale and 1 filter at €7, or just over €30 for the operation, that would be a shame.
Other info, the seal is a lip seal that is needed, much safer, tightening the cap to 20 dan.m

Hello, I followed your tutorial, without realizing that I was draining the gearbox, not a good result.
for dummies like me, be careful which cap you unscrew, they are the same and they are quite close.
