personally i would avoid engine flushes as you can't guarantee your gonna drain it all out aferwards plus on my corsa i got an oil leak from the camshaft seal after using it, however that might just be coincidenceMy last change was on the 36k service and there is almost 46k on it now - keep having to top up a bit more often than normal
So I think a flush and change would go down well after Xmas, even if the 48k service is only a few months away
hense why i got rid of it lol, and the fact it was gonna cost £300 to sort the oil leakI get what you're saying mate
Plus it was a Corsa lol
Oh, great craic!
I've used the FORTE flush before and everything was fine
I seen it the other day just curious see if anyone recommends it as its cheap.
But i will stick to 5w 40 castrol.[/]
Alot of people say castrol is rubbish and over priced. Only reason people use it is because it's on tv and most racing games.
I personally finds Fuchs stuff (Titan,gt1,Titan race and silkolene great) and decently priced. Opie oils is good for choice but gsf usually has dome Fuchs 5-40 cheaper than opie oils.
So what oil do people reccomend? Any 5-40 fully synthetic? I used to change the oil every 5k on my 106gti, will be doing the same to the Trophy.
Get the UFI filter from opie oils, thats what i get when i get the service pack deal, there like a performance oil filter, all do the same job anyhow
Elf, as per renault! Unless someone supplies there own, or someone wants cheaper, then we use carlube 5/40!
When did ufi become a performance oil filter??? or have i missed something? A few people have turned up wih them recently with there own oil must be where there coming from!!
Wouldn't be putting one on my clio thats for sure, when a genuine filter is £7.

Would you say f1 and moto gp is performance? ive had 2 on my clio now and ive had no problems
Well yes, Just my opinion. and the fact they cost about £2, must be cheap for a reason!?
Fred, what filters do formula reanults use?!?!
Anybody know who makes Tesco 5w40?? Must be a relabelled big name brand methinks... £27 for 5L is a potential bargain to be had.
+1 on the forte stuff, forbid from a member on here and it seemed to work but no way of really knowing.

They cost nearly £5, and i only get one because i get it on the service pack and it saves on more postage costs or me going for renault for one,
From the opie site
UFI provide premium filtration systems to the world of rally, Moto-GP, Speed Boats, Motorcycles and Formula 1 teams. As official supplier to the Ferrari team for more than 25 years, UFI also collaborate with Toyota, Jordan, Sauber and BMW Williams.
Priced one today, £3.17 including VAT, i knew they were half the price of a genuine jobbie!! It's all personal preference like, but i would pay £7 for an oem one all day long instead.
Yeah 8mm square drive, also get a 10mm deep socket to remove the fuel rail guard for easier access to the Oil filter. Take a look at this Guide
