Im about to order 5ltrs of Silkolene Pro S 5w 40 and wanna change my oil filter too.
On Opie oils webpage there are 6 oil filters listed for 'Renault'......which one do I need for my Williams 3 engine?

Also how much gearbox oil do I need to order?

and finally......is 5ltrs of engine oil enough for the Hybrid?

Thanks

I use about 5.5ltrs in my Willy 3, I reckon get 6 to be on the safe side.

I get my filter from Renno so no idea which one it is sorry, sure the Opie guy will know

I managed to find the applicat8ion guide for the filter....thanks anyway

I cannot buy just 1ltr of Pro S, it only comes in 5ltrs and I dont want to buy 10ltrs of oil so will just go for 5ltrs and hope thats enough.

get 2x5L cos you will need some for top ups mate, and 5L wont be enough, not to Max anyway, just short of

the correct filter is 17695
