I am going round in circles trying to find out the grade and spec. of oil to use in my 2009 Renault based Vision. It has the 2.5l 120ps G9U engine and I am getting conflicting info. as to the exact grade to use, some say fully synthetic and some semi-synthetic. As far as I know it does NOT have a DPF fitted, so if anyone knows for sure could they very kindly enlighen me? I had it serviced at the local Renault truck dealer and they put Elf Maxima RLD 15W-40 in, but I cannot find any info. on this oil on the internet, thanks for any advice.
possum, this oil they used is ok for your van, i use it in the new models masters

Thanks for that John, I am confused because Renault UK only recommend Fully Synthetic 5W-40 for this engine and they say that the 15W-40 is too heavy, but if you use it in the Master it must be Ok so thanks again for that,
possum, i had asked Renault Trucks about this, as we use it on the new masters and cover big mileage, i would assume that this is why they have used it in your van, on the assumption you would be clocking up mileage, i maybe wrong?
we used Shell helix Diesel 10w40 semi synthetic in our old 120bho 2.5 master year 2005 with no probs over 20k , so use the same in our 140 3.0ltr master.
after 12mnths and 5k the oil is still clean as a whistle, we do our own oil changes.
we buy it in France as its far cheaper than the uk.
