182 oil

[spike]

hi
was thinking bout changing the oil in my 182 as its 12months old now but its only done 6000miles so not ready for service and was wondering which oil is best?l

silkoline 5w40

I used Carlube Tripple R fully synth 5W-40, just done mine and boy what a difference it made to the car. Lovely and smooth, improved acceleration.
While your at it change the oil filter. For the sake of a tenner its worth doing because I think the oil filters too small for the engine... my 1.6 filter was trice the size!

I am using Motul 300V 5W-40 fully synthetic. It is good!!!

I'm on Elf Excellium 5w40 fully synthetic (from renault themselves) - still slightly noisy on start up but then my car is old! Quickly settles down though and no sign of any noise when warm

For a range of decent fully synthetic 5w-40's take a look here.
