oil

[prosserwales]

what oil you all using in clio 182??????????????????????????/ thanks

 

[kully]

a decent 5w40 oil is recommendable (silkolene pro s 5w40)

 

[prosserwales]

how much we talking with a filter im on a budget me being the idiot I am im getting married and its costing me 10k

 

[Diesel_Power]

£100 should easily cover it with an extra litre of oil for topups.

 

[prosserwales]

#100 your having a laugh?????

 

[cat171]

I'd budget about £50 tbh. I guess your going to change the oil yourself ?

 

[Diesel_Power]

Oil £50-£60 (thats based on a 5 litre and 1 litre top up on the oil recommended above)
Filter £5-£10
Sump plug and washer £1

Delivery charges (unless your picking it up local) and your probably shy of £80. As said £100 will easily cover it.

 

[Diesel_Power]

£50? Now your having a laugh.

nope i got 6L millers oil £33 and filter £3.80

 

[Diesel_Power]

I was refering to the Silkolene.

 

[ed_172_cup]

Opieoils = 5l Silkolene Pro S for £36 + £6 postage! Bargain!

 

[ed_172_cup]

[Diesel_Power]

Just go to Renault for filters mate, there not expensive.

Remember you will need a 1 litre topup to go with it to flush and obviously topup the system.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

No need for the extra litre or to flush the old oil . As said Opieoils is as cheap as you'll get for 5 litres of Silkolene .

Why would you not need the extra litre may i ask?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

You'll only need 5 litres of oil even when you change the oil filter , that takes it up to the MAX line on the dipstick .

 

[Lee coley]

like he said

 

[Diesel_Power]

I asked how much oil the system takes and was told just under 5 litres. Flushing the system and topping up the system when it drinks oil and the 1 litre would come in handy. Ive always bought a topup.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Renault say it takes 5.1 litre with the filter change , i've never needed more than 5 litres . If you don't change the oil filter 4.75 litres is usually enough .

The only time my 182 ever used any oil was when i bought it new and needed a slight top up after a couple of months . I changed the oil after 6 months and it's never used a drop since . My 172 never needed topping up either .

Renault do say that they " can " use 1 litre per 1000 miles though

 

[ed_172_cup]

yeh mine has never dropped much, i would always change the filter at the same time as the oil - pretty much common knowledge isnt it

I'm looking at this too, but does that link not say £44.99 for 5L, or are you adding in a CS discount here somewhere?

 

[Mostro]

OK, I've registered as a CS member, but still get a price of £40.49....?

Pic says Silkolene but motul is good too from what I've read, thou not as good obv..

 

[Mostro]

You get what you pay for I guess.

 

[pete_clio]

that make is the same as genuine renault one.

and im of the opinion oil is oil if it meets the requirements and is of the right grade you cant go wrong! *awaits slagging*

 

[The Seer]

a decent 5w40 oil is recommendable (silkolene pro s 5w40)

Same here. Service done at GDI, they used Silkolene 5w 40. Though I'm thinking Millers next time.

 

[The Seer]

£50? Now your having a laugh.

nope i got 6L millers oil £33 and filter £3.80

Oh yeah? Very good price.

Any chance of a link?

 

[pete_clio]

What's the difference between this @ £40 and Mobil Synt S 5w-40 @ £27?


(first person to say £13 gets a slap! :rasp: )

 

[Liam]

elf excellium 5w40

 

[murcod]

elf excellium 5w40

I'm looking at swapping from Excellium 5W40 due to my engine sounding a bit rattly after spirited drives on hot days. (I'm talking 40+ degrees Celcius so it may not worry most people on here! )

We don't get Sikolene or Millers in Australia so I'm looking at Motul (300 or 8100) or Redline 5W40.

Anyone?

[StevieP]

Mobil stuff isnt' as good! Is mobil stuff semi synth? Silkolene is fully synth i think. You get what you pay for.

Do a search for some oil thread or a post by oilman there was some good reading in there somewher.
