Exactly - if you have a handbook why does the question need asking?

The problem is convincing garages and indeed even main dealers that their bulk oil (bought in bulk, but charged to you at the per litre price) isn't suitable for everything they service.

A few years ago there was a widespread failure by Vauxhall dealers to use the correct oil for a new range of engines.

Any one know what these DPF things look like? I presume they are somewhere on the exhaust pipe.

My apologies, am I talking in garbechnical?

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter)

Low SAPS (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulphur)

If you have a DPF, you should be using a good quality Low Saps Oil.


Teemyob,
Its all a bit tech for me, so what do I put in my new 3 Ltre Merc.

You're lucky mine had expired before the van was 1st registered.

You need to read this thread...........
http://www.motorhomefacts.com/ftopic-71332.html
Then you need to contact your dealer to see if they have already set the reset process in motion and if they haven't they need to contact Adria and get them to contact Renault.

My chassis was originally supplied to Trigano/CI in 2007 but not 1st regged until 2009 and hopefully by now my warranty start date has been reset - I must check sometime.

Low Saps but not just any old Low Saps

Mobil ESP
Total MC3

Almost anything that is MB 229.51 229.31 Spec

But be careful! Many will say low saps and try to sell it as suitable for "Modern Sprinters" Shell Rimula Low Saps here is not MB229.31/51 So more suited to Trucks

Beware you will need 12.5 Litres of Oil!

I hope this helps and I hope you get the Handbrake/Cruise/Mirror issues sorted. If I can help any more, please ask or send a PM

Good Luck,
TM

Thanks to all on this topic have discovered our 07 master has a dpf and the local dealer has used wrong oil .
It took a few calls and checks to find out.
Renault UK at first had no knowledge of my chassis number but when I phoned again about oil I was told that their system had been at fault was now ok and that our master does have a dpf,by this time a few clues had led me to the same conclusion.
The clues were firstly a nice clean tail pipe second the filter emblem on the
panel third looking underneath could see the injector and sensor pipes
front and rear of filter.
Once again many thanks to all on this topic ,I would not have known without you all.
This is our first reply so hope it goes through ok, Will learn how to thank indivduals in due course 5bells
