Engine oil recommendations

[Leemitch-91]

Looking to change my oil in my 182, wondering if anyone can recommend a good one to go for!

These are good, have a word with Opie Oils in the traders section.

Titan pro s ftw

Frequency is key though

 

[Fred@BTM]

Pro S is a bit overkill, its not a lambo! Good stuff mind but ££££

very much so. I didn't know there were so many professional racers on here

ELF 5w40 is what i stock, its what your car came with from new.

How much oil do Clios take? Is 5 litre's enough?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yep 5L on the nose unless its a NEW NEW engine, then it'll be around 5.3ish (172/182)

your 1.2 16v takes less than a 2 litre. and a different grade too.

Mines a 1.2 16 though, does that make a difference?

How much do 1.2's 16v's take? Which grade is best? 10w40?

 

[Fred@BTM]

3.7L and you can use a 10W40 (cheaper) or a 5W40

Personally I buy the Shell Helix 5W40 it's £32 for 5 litres on Ebay.

Thanks for clearing it up Fred

Hi

A 5w-40 synthetic is the best option.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS NT/CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs Syn MC, Shell Helix, Millers XSS/Trident or Motul 6100

We've got a few offers on as well, like 25% off the Shell oils.

so this will do the trick?

Thats the one, better to go with the guy above though it's the same price and likely much quicker dispatch.

 

[Beasley Clio182]

what do people think of the genuine Renault oil for a 182? mines due now and last year i got genuine oil and filter !

 

[botfch]

Opie oils do you do the filters and washers too can't find them for 182 ?

They don't do genuine filters iirc

 

[JackD]

Bit of a hijack but is it worth while running more of a premium oil if its in an engine with 421's?

 

[Dan@SJM]

I'm running my supercharged one on elf 5-40.

 

[Lal B3N]

I ran that Millers oil nano drive motorsport stuff. Probably over kill at retail price but I got it at cost so wasn't too expensive for 5litres then.
