Renault Sport Clio 172 182 Oil Change Guide (Plus some Cadwell track prep)

In this video I pull the cover off the Clio 172 (195bhp) Cup to prepare the little French rocket for an upcoming track day at Cadwell Park, hopefully a helpful insight into how to change your oil

[@stoneautomotive]

Thanks, hopefully helps a few out that are in need of a service 👌

[@AndyEder]

Thanks mate! 🤣😂 Showing off... just because yours starts! Great video and information, James. Just need a video on how to change the alternator on the 182 now... 😛

Great video as always, as your a sucker for a renaultsport you should come over and take mine out for a drive, take your pick mate, R26.R or the new Trophy R

[@stoneautomotive]

Have you ever done a gearbox oil change tutorial video for the 172? Thanks

[@stoneautomotive]

Hi Richard, I haven’t done a gearbox oil change video sadly, it’s due another change so will be available at some stage hopefully 😬

[@Robcatist]

Still very quick cars I had one years ago light as a feather lethal in the wet though.

[@stoneautomotive]

Completely agree, 20-80mph very similar pace to the M3’s 😬 I would estimate the Clio is tipping the scales at 900-950 which is a good 500kg+ lighter than the M cars which is a monster weight difference and boy does it feel it! Cadwell next week 👍

[@jamielearmonth1039]

im after a set of 197 cams if you want to sell them?

[@stoneautomotive]

I’m gonna keep them in the loft until such time as they will go in eventually, maybe worth dropping engine dynamic’s a message as I know they have done a good amount of Catcam installs on the 197/200 so may have some stock ones available 👍

[@ripptorr]

6 months or 5k miles if you care about the engine. 3 years old engine oil... i don't know..

[@stoneautomotive]

Agree, was well over due & wouldn’t do that to the bike or M car.. poor little Clio (think it’s because you used to be able to buy engines for £300-400 I never see it as an issue to swap if it went pop)

[@ripptorr]

@@stoneautomotive that's a fair answer :) Yeah engines were cheap as chips and frankly still are affordable. I rebuild my engine due to oil consumption so I'm on top of it now maintenance wise :)
