3k is around 2bar, oil pressure relief is 4bar. oil and coolant at +95°C mehanical gauge that's confirmed to be precise, yes, Renault guide says to check oil when the engine is at 80°C but I didn't do it unfortunately. I've bought the Mobile 1 5w50 and will redo the test at 80°C.

mine isn't the VVT version, the engine has been rebuilt with proper clearances and is okay

I've confirmed it with 2 mehanical gauges and a sensor. 0.8bar at 850rpm idle, 3.7bar at 5000rpm, that's on the lower part of the specification with oil and water at 95C. This was on 5w40 elf I think, keep in mind the oil temperature goes a bit up when the car is driven aggressively As I...

I've looked at the official books from when the engine was released. although the 5w40 has been fine, I've never had good oil pressure and at higher temperatures when I drive fast it's noticeable. next oil change I plan to use Mobil 1 FS X2 5w50, any thoughts?

Hello everyone, I have a Renault with a 1.6 16v 107hp k4m engine. Last 5 oil changes I've put ELF FT 5w40 A3/B4 full synthetic rn700/rn710, it's harder and harder to find that oil and it seems like it's out of production. I'n in a warm climate (never gets under -5°C) and the car is used...

The usage of the car has changed, it's used mostly in city driving now and it has been mapped including a DPF removal. I've put elf 5-40 nf in it which I had on hand. It seems a bit quieter but that may just be the placebo What crossed my mind is that maybe the car was quietly regenerating...

what oil would you recommend? 5-30 was used to save fuel as far as I can see

Thank you very much! The ELF I'm now using is rated to 30k 😳

would you recommend an different oil for 10k km oci or should I shorten the interval?

@Bailes, read your posts very well. What vw511 oil would you recommend? whats your oci and how many miles per day?

Around 0.5l to 0.3l in the 10k km oil change interval.

Hello, I own a Renault Megane 1.9dCi 96kw with DPF. Car has ELF EVOLUTION FULL-TECH FE 5w30 acea c3/4 rn720 oil in it per the manual. It is changed every 10k km. The car is driven very hard and has purflux oil filter which is bigger then the rest of the offerings. The thing that is...
