Is the Comma 15-40w Semi-Synthetic the right stuff?
Also what's all this talk of using ATF in a manual box? Is it ok or a piss take?
Plus, how the hell do you get the oil filter off the F7 lump on a Clio?
Cheers. |

I hope that was a joke... not even the french could be that stupid at the design stage..... I know the one on my cabby is a pig in comparison to a lot of cars, but rad dropping for a filter change?!?? |

yea its brilliant! either that or inlet manifold off, but then you still need the rad out! you have to pretty much dismantle the 172 just to change the aux belt! takes 4hrs! |

you don't have to take the rad out, it just makes it easier.
what about the new meganes, bumper off to change the headlight bulbs depending on model |

Meh, had to settle with 15-40w Semi Synth Comma stuff.
Found out the gearbox oil was replaced when the other box was put in.
Needles to say I couldnt get the filter off. Can get my whole hand around it but no room to twist it.
So Chris, what do you recommend? Screwdriver?
Cheers. |
