4.8 inc filter if memory serves me well?

If it's the FAP fitted model then you MUST USE a 0W30 or 5W30 ACEA C3 oil, anything else can potentially knacker up the FAP filter

cheers guys, i did know that it was 5w 30 acea c3 oil, and knackering the soot filter might not be a bad idea if was not so expensive to replace, i am currently driving 150 extra miles each fill up to regenerate it. i am thinking of emailing renault to ask them if any thing can be done, as i know there not the only car maker with this problem

4.7 litres inc filter..

If it's the FAP fitted model then you MUST USE a 0W30 or 5W30 ACEA C3 oil, anything else can potentially knacker up the FAP filter

There are some 5w40 C3 spec oils available now that are fine to use with FAP.. for example Castrol Magnatec Professional or Edge..

Obviously it did not serve me that well!

Funnily enough I had the Laguna serviced a couple of weeks ago and they used Magnatec Professional 5W40 C3
