i got mine from my local dealer £3.95 per 2ltr thingy just went in and asked at the service counter

 

[bogel]

thanks for that, ill phone tomorrow.
The other thing is, has anyone had trouble getting to the oil, the flap that lifts up is sealed with a metal clip and Ive not got the right screw head to get the engine cover off!

 

[Sport182]

Yeah its a b**ch to get that cover off although if you have a cup (like it says by your name) then you shouldnt have an engine cover.

Probably be easier to buy a cheap screwdriver set then trying to force the flap up.

f**k ELF OIL GO PAY THE DOLLAR AND PUT SOME REAL PERFORMANCE OIL IN THE CAR!!! IT DESERVES IT!

Its a 182 with cup suspension and wheels etc.
Anyway found the tool and got the cover off. Got the wife to pick up some ELF oil from the dealers on her way home, £3 for 2ltrs 5W40, sorted!

I called them and they said the 182 uses 10W according to their charts, so be carefull when you get your car serviced, make sure they put in the right oil.

[Fred@BTM]

but WHY do people specifically want ELF????

 

[stusV6]

Well Fred............its reasonably priced, its what Reno recomend, its a decent oil............and me...........I change my oil every 6months.............last time that meant after 1700miles..............thats my reason

Cya Stu

 

[Jay@auto-mods]

so is 5w-40 correct?? or 10w?

 

[bogel]

5w40 is what it sais in the clio sport book that comes with the motor! dont listen to the mechanics at the renault dealers, they know frig all!

Yep thats correct

 

[Jay@auto-mods]

ok so 5w-40 thats cool. iv been qoted £34.99 for OIL + FILTER change BUT its SHELL oil? is that ok is SHELL just as good? thanks an sorry for the silly questions i just dont want to put crap in the engine! an i know shell is good but is it as good?

 

[stusV6]

Yeah should be OK Jay as long as its the correct rating ie 5w-40..............you dont say which Shell oil...............every oil company will supply a budget oil which just wont stay as good and give total protection for as as the better oils oir may not even be fully synthetic.................me I change my oil every 6months.

its not, its simply who Renault have done a deal with to promote

 

[BRUN]

also regarding Shell, if its the 5W-40 it should mean its Shell Helix Ultra, which is a fully synthetic oil and the only oil approved by Ferarri for their cars

 

[rory182]

Renault = French

Michelin = French

Elf = French

French looking after French but its good oil and at total butler prices its a bargain.

 

[Jay@auto-mods]

yep its SHELL HELIX 5w-40 FULLY Synthetic

il go for that then im sure its good.

 

[stusV6]

Yep thats said to be a qualty oil Jay.................youll be OK with that
