[Rich-D]

[BRUN]

[visceral]

Rich, how much u want mate....I might buy enough for 2 changes.

Actually, what is the capacity needed for an oil & filter change on our engine?!

However much that is, plus another litre for top up...

 

[jimbo]

my local renault dealer dont keep Elf oil anymore cos they are gay!

its meant to be good oil and thats a reasonable price!

 

[visceral]

Rich, Ill see if theyll sell me half a litre LOL

The 172 takes 4.5L for a full change.
