Clio 1.2 Automated Manual - Gearbox Oil

[browno]

I've got a bit of an odd request, which I thought the CS masses might be able to help with. At work we've got a 2003 clio 1.2 automated manual, which we're doing some test work on. To do this, we need to get hold of some genuine approved gearbox oil.
If anyone's got access to the Renault parts catalogue, would it be possible to check what the oil is (with a part no. if possible) and if it's different to the standard manual clios. The local dealership say they can't sell us the oil due to health and safety - don't you just love renault dealers! Therefore I'm trying to get hold of the right stuff from somewhere else.

Unfortunately, for the work we're doing it needs to be the genuine oil, so I'm afraid that I can't just stick in an off the shelf brand that would no doubt be used for a "normal" car.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

what gearbox is it exactly?

Guessing its the quickshift5 box? Which iirc is just an electrically controlled JB1 box.

If so 75w80 will do the job just fine.

Thanks guys!

As bmh says above - I couldn't remember the renault brand name for it but it is an automated manual (which I assumed was just the standard 1.2 box with the shift/clutch automated).

I just need a part no for the genuine oil (or even some confirmation that the oil is the same part no as the normal manual box!) - I need the original oil as a baseline to compare other stuff to, so it needs to be the right stuff unfortunately!

Very true - I've not had to drive it yet, but I've heard it's not the smoothest thing in the world to drive!
