I'll always ask on the useage requirement before using a specific oil. If you're not heavily tuned, and not doing constant track days, I believe any ACEA A3/B3 5w/40 fully synthetic oil is fine. I use oil from renault for "normal" services. the engine takes 5.1 litres
gearbox takes 3.1 litres...
just re-read from the start, struggling to think it can be anything but a head gasket breach now. You use a decent torque wrench and an accurate angle gauge on the headbolts?
I'll own up to owning modded cars without declaring mods in the past. Then i called Flux to ask about en engine conversion with lowering and big brakes at the same time, and it was £50 more than a standard policy all in. I felt a bit silly at that point LOL
