[mozzawily]

Hi Guys,

I will be changing my Oil on a Williams 2 with 65k miles, which is best to use? Semi/full Synthetic? Do i get the oil filter from renault? How many litres does it take to fill up? is it 4.5?

Sorry for all the questions but its my first Willy service!

Use 5W-40 fully synthetic for the best protection. Get a genuine filter from renault, i bought one from halfrds and it was too big and i couldnt fit it between the subframe and the engine, £6.50 wasted.

I think it will take around 5-5.5 litres of oil to fill it up.

as above really i usually use fully synth as it's better for high temps on track but if you are changing it regularly semi synth will be fine.

i find the non reno filters, with the nut on the end, are better to fit....if they get too tite, easy to throw a spanner on th end

Welcome to Bashed knuckle HELL by the way

Thanks for the reply guys, any brands which are better than others? Ive always used mobile 1 or castrol RS on my various 4 wheeled terrors.

I used to use Mobil1, but a ralliart specialist advised Castrol for my Evo, have used it since, never had a problem, kept the lash adjuster drains a lot cleaner than the mobil1 did, also hear that shell Helix is a good oil, and Millers!
