    V6 which OIL

    Stu, You missed the point mate Im afraid. A synthetic 10w-40 is the same viscosity (thickness) as a mineral or semi-synthetic 10w-40, its just a better oil. Do not confuse "basestocks" used i.e. synthetic or petroleum with the thickness of the oil, this is called viscosity. Have a read...

    V6 which OIL

    Its one of three proper synthetics used as oils (these are not petroleum refined or derived) and are far superior to petroleum based lubricants. They are PAO (Poly alpha olefins), diesters and polyolesters. Cheap oils (under £5.00 per litre) labelled as synthetic are usually "hydrocracked"...

    V6 which OIL

    Check first that its not a PAO blend as we could be comparing apples and pears here. I would doubt its 100% PAO as its way too cheap. Just make sure before you buy as Id say it contains a percentage of PAO (up to 20%) and not like the Silkolene which is 100% PAO/Ester blend. If they wont...

    V6 which OIL

    Correct its ACEA A3 5w-40. I have 3, Silkolene PRO S 5w-40 (Ester/PAO), Total Quartz 9000 5w-40 (PAO) and Fuchs Titan Supersyn SL 5w-40 (PAO) These are all very good oils. Cheers Simon

    1.2 16V Dynamique Oil

    Acually Renault recommend 10w-40 semi-syn or 5w-40 fully syn. Fully syn is dearer but better. Cheers Simon

    V6 which OIL

    You need a good 5w-40, there are many out there but quality varies (basestocks wise) so look for a true synthetic one would be my advice. The likes of Total, Silkolene, Fuchs, Mobil make decent synthetic ones as opposed to "hydrocracked" ones. This article goes some way to explaining why a...

    OIL in 172!!!

    0w-40 is unecessary as to pass 0w it needs to pour at -35 degC. 5w-40 has to pour at -30 degC. It will work fine but always best to stick to manufacturers recommendations so I would try to use 5w-40 if possible. Cheers Simon

    OIL in 172!!!

    Just a small point here. "Synthetic oil is too thin" is a myth. Its the viscosity that determines the thickness of an oil, not the type. The type determines its lubricating qualities. From worst to best Mineral Oils Hydrockacked/Modified mineral Oils True Synthetics By the way the...
