5 GT Turbo R5 service parts

[Chris Sadler]

Hi Everyone,
I just want to know what service parts to buy for the renault 5 and brands to use as this is my first time and I'm not sure what to use any help would be great on the following
spark plugs
oil filter
air filter oe
fuel filter
oil (which grade)
I guessing I need a oil sump washer as well

Thanks Chris

Oh I forgot any ideas where to get the little round clips from that attaches the GT turbo badge to the rear trim?

You cant argue with £4.98 Mr Raider
I had no idea Dave on how important the oil filter was to an engine untill I bought the R5, it never really crossed my mind so taller, thinner different valve wouldnt have made any difference to me.
Do you use these on your car? I'm happy to go with what you guys say has you have more knowledge on the subject than me, also part number would be great.

Not much room where filter goes as bottom rad hose and a connector are there skinning my knuckles everytime I change the filter, for that reason Im sticking to LS590's lol.

I haven't really experimented with a 5GTT, but when I was trialling a few different ones on the 21 I looked at:
Oil pressure hot
Oil pressure cold (are they any different between filters)

How quick does the pressure light go out after the engine fires on normal startup
How many cranks does it take with the king lead disconnected to turn the pressure light off, if at all (assuming your car will do this)

Obviously you want the best pressures and the lights going out sooner.
