What make?

I'm guessing halfrauds...as I have only ever been able to get 5w40 in the own brand label.

 

[thedoc]

yea, looks like their own brand..
all their own synthetic oil is on half price at the moment..

 

[G_F]

Well at that price i am buying some, ill just use it as top up oil between services.

 

[Andy_J]

thinking about an oil change at the weekend, is this stuff any good? i've got magnatec in it the now and dont like it!

 

[Martin]

I've used this stuff for an oil change before brands and it gave good pressure and temps..

 

[Greeny.]

FYI: I was told the Halfords oils are made by Comma

[cliobritt]

[Alan]

[Sami]

I went from magnatec to halfrauds own and its better than it was on magnatec, far less tappety on idle. Will be using it again, might as well stock up now while its cheap.

 

[jonesyx]

is there a noticible difference using different types of oil?

 

[White16valver]

oh yes!

Magnatec in my valver = bag of spanners that took 10 minutes to stop being tappety when cold-started

Elf excellium = stops being tappety within about 2 minutes, smooth idle and happy to rev

 

[clidge]

[christhekiddy]

[G_F]

Yes, a very big difference, try different types of oil and see for yourself. (a lot depends how you drive the car though imo)

 

[ja.jack]

GavFre!!

What did I tell you about changing your oil too often?

 

[G_F]

GavFre!!

What did I tell you about changing your oil too often?

What are you on about?:S

There is no harm if you change your oil everyday if one so desires, so i don't understand what you are on about, you have never told me anything useful tbh.

 

[ja.jack]

Yes, you are right. I'm feeling a bit mental today. Sorry.

 

[White16valver]

lol ^^^

halfords here i come baby!!! where can you get excellium from guys is this a very good oil?

Excellium 5w40 is the oil supplied by Renault themselves for the 1*2's - ask at your Renault parts place to see what prices they have. I think mine was £23 for 5 litres as the guy didn't charge full whack. (something like £40 book price?)

If they charge loads then you might as well go Silkolene Pro S (I think it's called?) from oilman perhaps

 

[Norris_309]

I bought some Elf 5w 40 at the local Renault dealer.. & i think it's £35 for 5 litres, but i think mine came out at £25???.. not complaining

 

[Dcds4]

I bought the 5w50 from halfords, track day and enthusiastic driving apparently, seemed a good price though...
