Having just taken delivery of our new Adria Vision 647 I would like to know what oil to put in the engine , its the Renault Master 150 , my local dealer tells me it should be Elf competion oil 10/40 , but have read some where it should be sinthetic , any ideas .
hi bendog,
basically fully synthetic for 2 year 20,000mls service intervals or semi synthetic 10,000 mls for 12 mnth intervals - as stated by my trusted Renault truck dealer [official dealer] not a motorhome dealer.
you can mix semi synthetic will normal oil . BUT NEVER mix semi with full synthetic oil.
we always changed our oil yearly in the spring with shell diesel semi synth oil never had a prob in our renault 2.5dci 05 model , but its your van so your choice.
If you are going to France why not get it serviced their much cheaper and they use correct oil etc.

That advice is okay for non DPF engines up to Euro IV. However, if you have a Euro IV or V with DPF, you should be using a low saps oil. Failure to do so can result in costly problems with the DPF and warranty issues.
Tramp, that's an interesting point I wasn't aware of about never mixing semi synthetic and fully synthetic - do you know what problem is created if they are mixed?
Read the Renault Master Maintenance Booklet for engine oil specification (page 14 in mine). I have a Knaus on a Renault Master dCi 150. My vehicle is fitted with an exhaust gas particulate filter. The oil must be ACEA C3 standard 5W30. This is a fully synthetic oil. If no exhaust gas particulate filter the oil spec is ACEA A3/B4 10W40. Use 10W40 with a particulate filter and you will damage it.
