Mixing oil brands 2011 Megane 1.5dci

    Just a quick question my Megane is burning a small bit of oil so I need to get some to top it up with. I couldn't get to the Renault garage today but I got to a motor factors who have Fuchs pro c4 5w30 that meets RN0720 (not too many do). They have the 1 litre bottles of it coming in next week which is what I want. However the car has a full Renault service history so I'd assume it got elf on its last service (or is that what they use). So is there any issue mixing these oils.

    It's a 2011 mk3 Renault Megane 1.5dci 90bhp euro 5 engine with dpf.

    There is no issue mixing brands when topping up.

    The two brands will fight inside your engine creating exponential combustion and provide atleast 9000 bhp at the wheels.

    I could be wrong

    But i doubt it

    /runs off to buy oil

    You'll want low sap fuchs to suit the elf.
