How much should i pay for Oil+Filter

[SOAPSUDS]

As above for a 2002 1.6 16v dynamique.

Ive erd its expensive at renault?

 

[Chad]

Renault charged me less than motorworld for mobile 1 fully synth so they cant be that bad



filter was £6

oil was about £45-£50 but mobile 1 aint cheap

 

[SOAPSUDS]

Well Renault Leicester quoted me £130++ inc lab!! Fire!

They cant tell me what oil type it is.

 

[Chad]

I think they charged me £28 for labour



so thats still only 80 quidish all together

 

[SOAPSUDS]

Should i go elsewhere +use genuine parts?

Im not so keen on local garages but consider it

 

[monkeymagic]

£36 for Mobil 1 and filter change at Quik-Fit. Bargain.

 

[telford_mike]

£59 inc VAT at my local Renault dealer.

 

[McBunny]

37 for oil and filter change at my dealer on a mk 2 172

Dont go to renault unless your mental - go to a local independant garage you trust and ask them to use either oil you supply or the best they have.

Cost me £45inc vat.

Used to always do it myself but couldnt be assed on the valver.

Its cheaper to do it yourself!! plus doesnt take that long! Also then no mechanic at Renault get to touch the car- another Bonus! Just order the filter from Renault then......

Mobil 1 is almost half the UK price in France! Forget going on a booze cruise, hire a van and bring back gallons of Mobil 1!

 

[SOAPSUDS]

So Mobil 1 is the recomended Oil for Clios?

Is it fully synthetik or someting? Cheers

you should be using the 0W-40 in that car mate and not the Motorsport 15W-50

WHys that BRUN........

do you have any idea how hot the oil runs.

 

[Daz]

I paid £15 for an Oil, Filter and Labour.. Oh, and a Token from a newspaper..

 

[SOAPSUDS]

Renault recomends Elf Elite(prem plus;10w40) for standard use, or Elf ultimate 5w40;all uses

No sign of Mobile oil anywhere

10W40 or 5w40????

 

[BenR]

thats what reccomended for daily use in a temperate climate, more to do with cold running than hot running........

 

[BRUN]

BenR.....hes got a 1.6 16v mate, not a valver

i would have suggested going for the motorsport version if it had been a proper 16v.....

though i still reckon you cant go wrong with 5W-40, i mean the Cup race cars use it (Elf), as do lots of other race cars, the Peugeot team uses 5W-40 Total stuff......
