Can anyone help me please- i have a mk2 172 and have done 5000 miles and was considering doing an oil change- however the renault dealership i spoke to about different oil grades claim that i may invalidate my warrantly if i do it myself- is this true?? has anyone else had this problem??

all help appreciated

B#llSh1t mate utter B#llSh1t .

I was told when I phoned Renault a while back, as long as the car doesnt fcuk up due to the oil it is fine. Just buy a renault oil filter so they dont b**ch about it.

I asked Renault uk and they said the warranty would not be affected. Send them an e-mail or ring them and find out for sure.

Do it but make sure you use original Renault parts for the Oil Filter (£6 I think) and sealant ring. Put some Mobil 1 in too and Id like to see them prove that you changed the oil then!

Geoff,

Even if you put green jelly into the car the monkeys at renault wouldnt notice any difference.

Small print : Dont put green jelly in your car, you may have some adverse results like engine seizer.

Check out the other current topic on oil it will inform you of what oil and where to get it from, or ask BRUN as he will be on commission soon for recommending oil. LOL!

I used a Champion oil filter, which was different in size. Mines going in for a 12K service in 2 weeks. Hope they dont pull a fast one on me because of that.

Mind it should really only invalidate the warranty if sominc fecksup - which it hasnt.

To be honest, I think that Clio owners would use a much better grade of oil than what the grabbing, cheapskate dealers would use in our cars!

Couldnt of said it better GirlRacer and also I like the fact I have no dents in my car cause I dont let the Renault grease monkeys touch it.

 

[desmondo]

What you gonna do for your 12K then Mr Chavs?

 

[ChavyBoy]

Errr sell the car ?

No I have a private mechanic who can do this and get the book stamped.

 

[desmondo]

Can he get mine stamped too?

 

[ChavyBoy]

Errrr why dont you trust Mr Renault to service your car properly ?

Isnt that kinda thing wrong ? LOL

 

[desmondo]

Its Mr Renault "Dealer" Grease monkey magic ripoff men that I dont trust - probably put sunflower oil in!!!

Id rather service the car myself - but I need that precious stamp cos its worth ££££££
