Does anyone ever read the manual
Good point
As already said, 5w-40 synthetic.
Loads of gooduns out there to choose from http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

clio rs 2000
0-40 mobil1
I'm using that at the moment. Engine does seem to burn a little bit of it off though but you can get it from Costco pretty cheaply.
Is use 5w40 silkolene pro s
RS RIP
One of my cars burned the 0W40 pretty quickly also .
I now very happily run the 10W40 from Motul , was very noticable with engine-noise just NOT being there anymore on cold running. This Motul 300V is also highly recommended by the Oil-dude (Opie oils UK)
Except he (and Renault) have decided over the years to change from 10W40 to 5W40 . So next time i'll be putting in the 5

Motul 300V is best oil I've used.
0W40
5W40
10W40
all fine to use, they're all THE SAME VISCOSITY AT 100DEG C
the 0, 5, 10 refers to the viscosity at 0degC, the lower the number, the lower the safe cold temp it can go down to (ie 0W goes down to -25degC IIRC, 5W -15degC, 10W -5degC - figures aren't exact its to convey my point)
so if you say a 0W40 is "too thin" - no, its thinner at 0deg C, but EXACTLY the same at 100degC as a 5W or 10W

clio rs 2000
i think if a car burns much more 1litre at 6000miles the piston rings weared a little
clio rs 2000
no i mean 6000miles or 10000km
i see that in uk the clios are driven twice of Turkey the mileages are too high for us. maybe thats why u are burning that much
my 172 is 2000 and for now itis 120k km and i never add oil in 10k
maybe 1/2 litre goes in10k

from memory i believe Renault's allowable tolerance is 1L per 625miles (1000km) but i maybe wrong there
its not often i see F4R's burning oil, normally they use nothing, some of the track stuff might use a little
i did a 2000 172 yesterday that had done 112169miles, was a perfect engine!

I just found the general consistency to be thin, almost like water compared to others. Also it would always knock a light out on the oil gauge and if you parked on any form of gradient you could see at least couple go out. When checked manually levels were fine. More evidence at its thin consistency maybe?
Also if its thinner at start up then does this mean theres less engine protection? or technically more protection because it gets round the engine quicker at cold?
