Saying it's not under warranty, go for an ester based 5w-40 like the Fuchs Pro S, Millers CFS, Redline, Gulf Competition or Motul 300V. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Don't put them in under warranty, Renault have been getting tight on warranty claims and people have reported that...

Is it under warranty?

It's decent stuff, not the best, but not the worst by a long way. Cheers Tim

The Gulf clothing and accessories range is really popular, people always want the bags when we have a competition. Cheers Tim

The Nanodrive is definately one of the best, just waiting for a bit more feedback to see if it's the very best. Cheers Tim

Sorry, should have clicked the link. Yes, the Supersyn is fine, or the Fuchs GT1 is a slightly better option for a similar price.

The Pro S is ideal

Only over the weekend I think, might be until the end of the month depending on how the stock goes. Cheers Tim

Yes, that is a temporary offer, it's usually about £40-45 for 5L. The Gulf is a proper top end oil, we've had sponsored cars using it for 24 hour racing and lots of others using it for road and track use in modified and standard cars and we've had no problems with it. Cheers Tim

Hi Different oils can make an engine run quieter for a couple of reasons. First of all is the basestock, group III and group V oils are good at helping cars run quieter, but group IV aren't so good at absorbing sound...

It's a group III (hydrocracked oil), although I think there is a small amount of PAO synthetic as well. You shouldn't notice any real difference between that another group 3 or group 4 oil, but you might find the engine is a bit louder compared to a group 5 oil like the Pro S. Cheers Tim

Yes, 5w-40 for the engine http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs Supersyn, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper...

Plenty of people are using the Fuchs Sintofluid (75w-80, GL5) in Clio, Megane, Peugeot and Citroen gearboxes without any issues at all. Technically, a GL5 oil should be backwards compatible with a GL4 application, but people often have concerns due to brass synchros. Quality GL5 oils are made...

I don't have that one listed as the only specified oil for it, it may be what Renault dealerships have though. My info just says it needs to be a 75w-80 GL5. Cheers Tim

The truth is, from what we've heard it's not very popular (except in RenaultSport Clios) and we've got other oils we consider better, plus limited space in the warehouse. There's no other oils we want from Elf and we wouldn't take on a brand just to sell one of their oils

It's not something we'd sell

Coolant and antifreeze is a topic we are asked about on a regular basis, and often causes confusion; types, colours, service life etc. Perhaps the most frequent cause of confusion is what the difference between anti-freeze or coolant is. Basically, they’re the same product (although the term...

We tried the cruize seen once, generally unless it is shiny, or glows and they can show it to their mates they are not interested.

Thinner oil is definately a performance increase compared to a massive spoiler on a 1L car.

When you start the car when it's cold, drive it gently until it's up to temp. The oil need to warm to flow properly, one of the reasons we often recommend an oil that's thin when cold. It's also better to drive it gently to warm it, rather than just leave it ticking over on the drive.

0w-20 can take fairly high temps, as they tend to have very little additives/polymors in them. The trouble be being able to maintain enough pressure, it is easier on a drysump system, if your oil pump can handle it then try it out. Cheers Guy

As the temps are only around 100C, use a good 5w-40. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Cheers Tim

It's a bit thick for a Clio, go for a 75w-80 or 70w-80 like the Fuchs Sintofluid, Redline MTL or Amsoil MTF http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-670-75w-80-75w-85-mtfs.aspx Cheers Tim

You could use it, but it's a little thin, 5w-40 or 5w-30 is a better choice.

Any idea what oil temps you are getting? Anything under 130C and I'd stick with a good 5w-40 or 10w-40 (I guess you are talking about a Clio track car). Same for the road car (again, if it's a Clio), but I'd go for a 5w-40 for road use to get better cold start protection than a 10w-40. Using a...
