Ok, the first day of my membership here and my first post; so I've had my Kadjar since June and it is due an MOT and a service in Jan, any recommendations on the best oil to use and service parts manufacturer, please ??
Oh on another note what tyre pressures are you all using ??, I have the 15inch rims and been using 34psi fronts and 31psi rears and cant say Im happy, doesn't seem right, as if under-inflated but they are the recommended pressures as read off the driver's door sticker.
I have a 2016 model 1.5 110 Diesel Automatic (Great car but that gearbox takes its time to get used too doesn't it).
Thanks in advance of any replies that may be added here.
Opps my bad, misplaced key type there 16inch not 15 as I first stated before this edit.

Hello

Use oil that Renault recomends and this is now Castrol. And you can not have 15 inch rims because 16 is a minimum that fits to Kadjar and almost all trims (except cheapest one) use 17 inch rims.

In Bulgaria already switched to Castrol. The engine sounds pretty nice actually. I was a Motul fan with my previous Scenic when it was out of warranty. Huge difference in engine sound and smoothness comparing to Elf.
Be sure to check it corresponds to Renault's recommendations when choosing oil. Before it was RN710, now probably is RN720 for the diesels.
