10w-40 semi is ok for the DCI, but 5w-40 synthetic is a better choice. For the gearbox we recommend this http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-981-fuchs-titan-sintofluid-sae-75w-80-synthetic-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx Cheers Guy

A 10w-40 is ok, but if it's one for tractors etc, it's probably quite basic, so just change it every 5k or so.

Hi, As per email it will be fine, we normally recommend 5w-40 and that is what I would go for next time, but as you have the 10w-50 use it with confidence. Cheers Guy

Motul 300v is very expensive, no doubt. If you have not purchased it already then drop me a pm and I will price some up for you. Cheers Guy

5w-40 synthetic for the engine, loads of popular choices. For the gearbox we recommend the Fuchs Titan Sintofluid here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-981-fuchs-titan-sintofluid-sae-75w-80-synthetic-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx Cheers Guy

A 5w-40 synthetic will give you the best protection http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Out of those, the best ones are the Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Gulf Formula G, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Synt S are good...

To be honest I'm not sure, but it should be fine. It's a little thinner than I'd go for, but not much. Amsoil ATF, Redline MTL and Fuchs Sintofluid are well proven choices. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-670-75w-80-75w-85-mtfs.aspx

It will be fine, some cars use oil, some cars don't even though the owners say they have been treated the same and get driven the same.

Lots of brands are popular, but a good 5w-40 synthetic is what you are looking for. Loads to choose from http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Guy

Yep it will be fine. As with everything, there is always better if you want it but Fuchs is good stuff. Cheers Guy

The Fuchs Titan Sintofluid 75w-80 is GL4/5 and is renault approved so ideal for the job. According to my records many clios such as the Clio II 2.0 16v are recommended a GL5 75w-80. There are many gearboxes out there designed to run GL5 fluids and there are many good GL5 75w-80, 75w-85 and...

It's a bit thin, but not too bad.

It is thin when it's cold and that is probably when you have seen it, but that means it flows quicker around the engine when cold to give better protection. The 'general consistency' is not thin except when thin, as it needs to be an SAE40 at 100C or it isn't a 0w-40.

I dont see why it being a bit thinner when cold being a problem. When hot 5w-40 and 0w-40 are the same thickness, SAE40. Cheers Guy

it's a good oil

As already said, 5w-40 synthetic. Loads of gooduns out there to choose from http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Guy

As above 5w-40 synthetic is ideal http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Guy

The oil doesn't really affect the output, sometimes you can gain a bhp or two by using a thinner oil, but for a road car, protection is more important I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Out of those...

The RN is one that's made for the latest Renault specs, for the cars with long life servicing and a diesel particulate filter. The SL is the one you want

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Out of those, the best ones are the Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Gulf Formula G, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Synt S are...

Its ok but 10w-40 is lilely to be a semi synthetic. A 5w-40 synthetic will be much better. Cheers Guy

A good 5w-40 synthetic is ideal, if you want best performance and protection then the ester based jobbies such as the Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300v, Redline, Millers CFS and the Gulf Comp. You can find them here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Guy

The Halfords oil will be fine and will mix without issue. Remember next time the Halfords is made to as low a cost as possible, using a proper/reputable brand will be better. Cheers Guy

You get Cliosport discount with us www.opieoils.co.uk Cheers Guy

That's a better choice than the 75w-90

EPX is pretty cheap and chearfull but it will do fine :) You can use 75w-90 but it can lead to a baulky shift when hot due to the higher viscosity. Cheers Guy

Glad you like the post I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Out of those, the best ones are the Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Gulf Formula G, Fuchs...

At this time of year, it’s beneficial to use an oil that has good cold start flow properties as it will get to the parts of the engine that need it far more quickly when you turn the key. The "w" number which means winter is the key here and the lower it is the better cold start performance...
