Vegetable mate.

I was hoping for a sensible answer, but i suppose i should know better asking on here lol
The reason i asked is the handbook lists 3 different grades.

what does it list?

Down to -20 10W30 10W40 10W50
Down to -25 5W30 5W40 5W50
Down to -30 0W30 0W40

Obviously -20 is enough for this country

NO W30 allowed in renault engines!!!

pretty sure 1.5dci uses 5w30

I'd use some semi decent 10w40 semi synth in a 1.4 i think, not a stressed engine

Whats wrong with W30 oils? I'll guess that it is too thick for the de-phaser pulley.

Is there even a dephaser pully in a 1.4 Dynamique S?

30 is thinner than 40
