what oil do people use ?



  Rb Clio 182
hi everyone just want to know what oil does every body use ??

i used castrol edge 5w-30 ?

and where does every one get there service kit from thanks
 
  Clio 197
Bit of a can of worms this one bud brand wise however the accepted viscosity is 5w 40 fully synthetic.

At present I have gulf competition racing fully synth in mine as it was a good deal at the time from opie oils.

As for where to buy from I bought my previous oils and filters from euro car parts (free shipping is a bonus) , they do a Bosch oil filter which although isn't OE is a quality part so I am happy with that. As for oil I will get it from the best deal at the time :)

Dan at 519 is where I got my last oil and filter from.. He does a good deal on the recommebded Elf and genuine filter and sump plug washer

i use Mobil 1 0W-30, I'm not sure what that means but doesn't seem to have any problems, its gets changed every 6 months anyway.

0W30 and 5W30 are the WRONG grade for the 172/182 - too thin

so LY04 GAV and robby i suggest you change it to 5W40!

normaly use as above titan supersyn 5w-40...... but just got hold of 5 litres of shell ultra 5w-40 full synthetic for free so may chuck that in?

Had a look in the garage and turns out it was actually 5W40, what would it do if thee oil is to thin? How would it affect the car?

probably be fine for "normal driving" its going to get a bit too hot if you give it larry large which can mean damage
 
  Black 182 FF
Gulf Competition 5w 40 from Opie Oils, reasonably cheap and seems as good as anything I've used before.
 
  Inferno 182 & Saxo
5w40 valvolene synpower here. Think its £45 delivered for 5l from the ebay seller I use
 
  clio 172 cup

does it really matter whihc brand you use so long as its 5w40? What makes some oils about £15-20 more expensive than others?

0/40 5/40 10/40 fully synth.

Most use 5/40.


Not meaning to sound snotty or anything,
but the search bar at the top is an invaluable source of info,
before I post questions I always do a search first because it's more than likely been covered before.

It just saves waiting for a reply, which will more than likely be 'do a search mate'. :)
