5w40 - elf excelium (sp)

 

[markclio2007]

Why wont it come on when the service is due? ok where can i get that elf oil from?

Tip, remove the alloy housing above oil filter, only held on with 2 bolts.

Saves a lot of time & skin

Any 5w40 is good enough.

did mine on wednesday and used
5w 40 silkolene pro s from opie oils
oil filter from the stealers(purflux)
sump plug washer from the stealers aswell
all in less than £60

^^ agree with the above take the fuel rail guard off and remove the engine under tray i did and it was a good job i did as when i removed the filter alot of oil spilt out

Mark if you need a hand give me a shout. the clio has no serv indicator. that only comes on when airbag or low oil level is at fault.
