Hi, after reading over 285 pages of the forum I have not yet clear what oil should I use for my v40 2002 with a renault D4192T3 / D engine
The engine had approx. 100kmilles .Due to a failure of the famous turbo. Now they are repairing the engine, putting new pistons, ( a few more things but I dont know the right words in english, sorry)etc. .. I am a bit worried about doing a good maintenance from now on so what oil would you use and how often or what millage intervals between changes. many thanks,
one more thing I live in Seville, southern Spain and in summer have temperatures of 40 º I've seen recommended gtx castrol Magnatec 10-40, but most people say synth. 5-40, renault recommends elf and volvo 10w-40 so I'm a little confused ... many thanks

What kind of oil you have had before ? i think You should use 10W40. i have about 240kkm and i 'am using Valvoline 10W40 and it's OK. I had Castrol before and the engine was little louder worked.

visco 3000 10-40 BP, every 10k km.
But really wasnt aware of the turbo so usually didnt wait a minute before stopping the engine and things like that.
