I have a 2002 172 which came with three years warranty ~ two years standard Renault plus an extra year RAC warranty from my dealer/importer.
I think you will find that others will have a similar reply!
Unless yours has done more than the average mileage for the year ~ or something like...
£500 ÷ lots of man hours = pay cheap, get cheap!! ;)

Motor maintenance is all about ups and downs, as many of the jobs facing a DIY mechanic involve getting the car in the air. Wheel changing, brake repairs and suspension work all call for at least one corner of the vehicle to be off...
The ones on the car above look great for only £200 the others will cost 4 x that if new wont they?

So what is the correct oil for my car in your opinion? Also considering that your dad has a Renault dealership, you will probably know the answer. Remember too, that unlike some guys here, that I do not take my car on a track and I am not into trying to do stupid speeds in it!!
I would...
