RenaultSport clio 182
Morning,
Just picked up my 182 from its 12,000 mile service and the main dealer (Bridges of Reading) had put 10:40 semi synth oil in. I questioned this, told them it should be 5:40 and the dealer disagreed. So we went inside so he could look it up and show me that I was wrong. I wasnt
So, next issue is that they do not have ANY 5:40 oil, they "simply dont keep it"? So after a little cat they have taken out the 10:40, changed the oil filter and put in 0:40 Mobil1 SuperSyn.
I told the dealer that "Im not a mechanic but I know someone who is and if they tell me that 0:40 is not correct Ill be back.... (Like Arnie but angrier). So, two questions....
1)Is 0:40 ok for my 182???
2)Should I take any further action or will no one care???
Oh, incidently, Bridges of Reading also wanted to charge me £275 for the service until I mentioned that I had called a main Renault dealer down the road and got a quote of £200. They then agreed to do the service for £200,
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
