Lots of different advice on this.. can. worms. of.

Many say Silkolene 5w40..


I use Motul 300v 15w50 myself.

Elf Excellium 5w40 from the dealer (got mine for about £23 for 5 litres) is pretty good I've found.

Alternatively, Silkolene Pro S(?) is a 'proper' synthetic and is supposed to be better but is a little more unless you get about 24 litres bulk buy.. lol

edit: I would have thought that 15w50 was a bit thick for winter myself, but I guess it is getting warmer now. (allegedly! lol)

Well, looking at my Williams manual, if I'm reading it right, it says 15w40-15w50 from -15c up...

I know lots of people say 5w40 tho.. and Silkolene Pro S is a good choice.

I would say ask Renault what to put in.. But, I dunno.. hehe.

There's a thread on WilliamsClio at the moment.. where people are saying what they use and what they recommend - quite good!
Check it out.

dont put 15W-50 in it, unless its heavily worn, and dont ask Renault either, most of the time they dont know what day it is

my cars just coming upto 57.700 miles

Yes, Motul 300V is good!!!
I use 5w40!!!

 

[oilman]

It's no can of worms, in fact it's straightforward 5w-40

Choose quality to suit mods,use and budget
