09 1.5d New Renault oil specs - BobG
My new Clio only gives a new Renault spec for oil performance. Previous cars used to specify A3 B4 10W40 or 5W40 but Renault only uses their own specs now. I plan taking the car around Europe for a few months and would like to take some oil with me in case I need to top up. Do I have to use Elf as this is the only oil I can find with the Renault specs on the bottle - it is almost impossible to find in my part of northern England ? By the way they still specify 5W40 as the viscosity. Will main dealers still bung in the cheapest A3 B4 10W40 they can bulk buy?
