Engine oil rs250

I use Fuchs Titan S but a quality cheaper alternative would be Shell Helix Ultra.

 

Ive just put Millers Nanodrive in my 250

I spoke with Opie Oils for advice and if your car is still under warranty, then you should use a Renault 'RN0710' approved oil.

If I wanted the very best for it, I was recommended to go with a 5w-40 ester based oil

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx Out of those, the ester ones are Fuchs Titan Pro s, Millers Nanodrive CFS NT, Moyul 300V and Gulf Competition.

As mine is out of warranty, I decided to go with the Millers Nanodrive, a bit more expensive, but some excellent reviews of it if you do a search

 

Is it 5W40 or 5W30 for 250?

 

5-40

 

What about Halfords fully syntetic oil? I went today to Halfords and only one engine oil 5w40 which comply with RN710 is their own brand.

 

Probably be fine but I wouldn't for track work. Euro car Parts do Shell helix very cheap which is also Renault approved.

 

I wanna have it in boot to top up if required. I need to top up now about 0,2 litre. I have seen Castrol Edge Diesel 5W30 with RN 710/700, but guy in the shop said it is only for turbo diesel engines.

 

Finally I topped up 0,4 litre today. Car is nearly 5k miles/ 4 months after service. Do you think it is all right?

 

That's fine, mine has used 3/4 of a litre and it's done 6k miles.

I just use the Standard Renault elf evolution oil, the stuff recommended/supplied by Renault. Can't go wrong with that, it clearly works well for the type of engine.

 

Thank you. I was bit worried about oil consumption, as I never experienced this before.

 

Most performance engines us a little oil it's pretty normal. My Clio 200 did it aswel.
