Best oil to use

[roystinho]

Just gonna do an oil change before Cadwell and was wondering what oil people use. Any recommendations of what to get/avoid greatly appreciated

Cheers

Any decent quality fully synthetic 5w 40 will be fine, it's what Renault recommend and what iv found they seem to like best

Neverhad any issues with this and was what was in the sump from the factory

he 5 40 would offer better protection from cold but thats still a good oil

Best oil> ester based fully synthetic 5w-40

Cheers, just as I thought, found some Silkolene that's 5l with 1l free which will Ben just about right for a full change. (it is 5.2l isn't it?)

 

[MartinR]

5.1l

You'll be fine with a 5 litre bottle.

If you get the 5l you get a 1l free, so gonna opt for that then can top up if needed, but thanks anyway for the responses

I used Renault Elf stuff, no issues and its what they put in it from the factory

Motul 300v for me too.

I've used Millers in the past an elf but any decent quality 5/40 will do the job. At the end of the day it all has to meet a standard

Fuchs titan super syn 5w40.

Used it for years, really good value for money imo.
