Oil filter and oil change

[Geokor]

Hey guys does anybody know what oil filter to use on f7p clio 1 ?also what oil to use ? The car is 1.8 with remap and cams...sorry but new to this thing ...

Im sure someone will answer your question but if you put your reg number into eurocarparts website it will show you a list of bits suitable for your car.

Sure someone will...just wondering if anything is better

Standard oil filter should be all you need.

Oil will depend on use tbh. As long as it meets renaults specs for the engine, and is changed regularly, you shouldn’t have any problems.

1.8 16v F7P engine oil choices should be in the handbook (if you have one).

10w40 or 5w40 should both be fine.

I liked the 5w40 Elf Excellium from the Renault Dealers - I think I paid about £20-£25 for 5 litres.

(But I think Renault have now switched from Elf to Castrol??)


Don't use Magnatec oil - it makes the engine sound like a bag of spanners lol

So any opinion of motul 300v 5w40 ?

Seems like an expensive option for a road car.

It is a road car but its use is only for some b road driving so it is working 5k + most of the time

Thats fair enough. I know everyone is different but i personally prefer to use a cheaper oil but change it more often. If you are after a decent oil ive heard Royal Purple is about as good as it gets.

I am changing it every 5k at most I just want the best I can afford

Is 300v as good to justify the highest price ?
