So Renault are wrong then...
That is the oil that Renault specify for this engine, but people seem to know better and put in whatever they want because of the name usually.
Yup, it was the first thing I did to my new Cup...

Whos mk2 was that?!
Yeah, its only at those higher speeds that the Hartge Cooper Ss extra power & torque will come into play and the Mini will start to...
Im sure once you threaten them with legal action theyll soon change their tune...
Might be worth threathening them with going on Watchdog!
Would be sooooo p!ssed off if this were mine.
But its not all about outright peak power and you know that...
