Oil Change Advice

[Rishi]

Im doing some work on my car tomorrow, new subframe/lower arm/shock absorber & figured while its up in the air do an oil/filter change, i have my filter from Renault but was wondering what oil i should get? I presume its 5w30 around 5 ltrs

I usually buy it from Shell petrol stations as i have vouchers & get more points, i was also wondering when should i drain it/fill it back up? while its warm or when its cooled down?

Thanks!

5w40 is correct

use a quality make synthetic oil :thumbup:

5.2 litres for an oil change (including filter change)

8mm square drive required for sump plug

drain whilst warm and fill when you have done - it doesnt make a big difference
