Doing oil + fluid changes on my 172 - are these the correct/suitable items?



  BG PH1 Megane 225
I'm going to be giving my 172 a nice treat to some new fluids over the next few weeks, so I'm just wondering whether these are suitable for use in my car. I'd also like to know if quantities are too low or high? from what I've searched on here I've roughly got it correct I hope?

Also this oil for when I next change the engine oil? (5 litre)

I'd appreciate a little help :eek:

That oil is what i use.

That brake fluid will do, not sure if you need more though.

Coolant you should get from renault and its cheaper than that anyway :)

i paid around £10 for five litres of coolant direct from renault. and its neon green. what's not to like

Great stuff, I'll get the coolant from Renault then, will 5 litres be enough?

Anyone else know how much of the brake fluid I need?

5L is fine as you probably won't get all the old coolant out. I use only 0.5 L of brake fluid so 1 L is fine (throw the remainder away). Get an oil filter, too.

I did all the fluids last year as the car was up to 85K miles. Might as well do the power steering fluid as well. As for the brake fluid, run 1/4 litre through each bleed nipple to get rid off old fluid, doesn't hurt and you'll be getting rid off the surplus anyway.

Thanks chaps, I'll get ordering some things over the next few weeks then, it's nice knowing it's going to be a little cheaper than I first thought! :cool:
