Anyone know what oil is in the Cup/172 from factory? And what oil would be best to run it on? I have always been a bit partial to Mobil One, but just dont know.
Advice appreciated!
Cheers!

I always though Renault used Elf.
They put the stickers on the car, so i think theyd put the oil in the engine.
Yep, I want to run fully synth. as the car is a partial track car. Prevention better than cure...
Thanks.
Cool, Sangy. Ill do the same then. Went to look for some decent seats as well today in Milton Keynes, sat in a few Corbeau seats, and one of them was quite good, at £201 plus 45 squid for the frames. Might do that as well.
When I ordered my Cup I heard nightmare stories about the seats and was advised that it would be the first thing Id change! I dont actually think they are all that bad, ok not too great on the lateral support when youre throwing it around, but ok for the english roads.
Still at £246 its a bargain! Youll have to let us know what they are like and if its worth the expenditure.

its very very likely to be an Elf oil, most likely javascript openWindow http://www.lubrifiants.elf.com/en/products/00000781.htm ,600,500">U Elf Evolution SXR 5W30/U
if i had a cup/172 id also change after 1500 miles, and i would change to Silkolene Pro S in the 5W-40 grade, available online @
