How much oil?

[Alex_225]

Just wondered how much oil the Twingo takes?

I have 6ltrs of Motul fully synthetic that was intended for my Megane but I'm thinking of having Renault change it when they do the cambelt so the oil is just sitting there.

The Mrs was wanting to change the oil in her Twingo as it's done 6k now and the oil doesn't look as clean as I'd like. Was thinking of using the Motul oil, after checking it's the correct type that is.

Purely out of interest, how much oil does a 133 lump take?

Think it's 5 liters mate my mates Clio 197 takes 5 and a half litters

5L of 5w40

Nice one guys, that means I can keep the 1ltr bottle sealed up and just use the big one I have in the cupboard.

I'm pretty sure the stuff I have is 5w 40 as well so that'll save the Mrs a few quid.

Suprises me how many "technicians"/mechanics will say 5w40 when specifically asked for grade and spec. I plan on changing mine about 6000 miles just need a filter, got the oil waiting already.

I change mine every 6 months

every 6k i change with 0-40 and 12k with 5-40.
dont need to run 0-40 in wales but as its thinner it gets all the ickie stuff out but requires a filter change sooner
