I have a Clio Sport 2.0 16v 172 cv (I think you name it as model 172 mk1).
You can have a look at http://www.lanzadera.com/clioMyClioSport
what kind of oil do you use?
Here, in Spain, ELF is the recomended mark of oil by RENAULT..
Last time I used the ELF 5/40.... but I know other marks (example: REPSOL) cheaper, and with similar characteristics.
Could you help me?
Thanks.
