Hi hopefully getting a driveshaft changed this week and assuming the gearbox oil will need doing at the same time? Anyone know what kind and how much (volume) to buy? Many thanks
You want 75W-80 grade. A "fully synthetic" oil is better quality, though that is generally reflected in the price. www.opieoils.co.uk is a good place to buy - here's the page you need: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-670-75w-80-75w-85-mtfs-manual-transmission-fluid.aspx#Filter=[EntityIDs=@(68)@*ava=0] Standard Renault stuff is Elf, but that's only semi-sythetic, so fully sythetic would be an upgrade.
For what it's worth, I used Motul Motylgear 75w-80 Synthetic in my box after it's rebuild and it feels good.
Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated! on a side note, I drove a Mk1 mx-5 the other day, makes the megane box feel like a bowl of jelly, I kind of want one now...
Is it definitely 2.5litres? For some reason I had in my head that it was only 1.1? Christ knows where I got that from lol
I guess it's like the Clio, so jack it up really high at one side and jam in as much as you can. Made it generally much smoother and a bit less stiff and notchy in that.
