Sorry if I missed the reason earlier, but why are you using 5w-30? It probably used a straight-weight oil (30?) when new; Consider using that, or 10w-30.

Also, check your oil pressure & see if it’s within spec

Yeah, that was back in the days when you changed oil twice a year. SAE 30 in the summer, SAE 20 in the winter.

According to http://www.ctaservice.se/tek/tekinfo-engl.htm,



So 15w-40 if you're going to use a multi-vis.

I thought they came back to the US market in really small numbers ten years ago? Limited markets etc. Or did that never happen/close down?

They came to the US in small numbers in the 60s and 70s. They left the market in 1973.

Could have sworn I remembered something around 2012-ish (it's linked with the campaign for Obama's second term in my head for some reason) about them coming back to the US. Guess it never happened or fizzled, my bad.

Renault stuck around through 1990 or so. Peugot pulled out about that time, too.

I think they've announced several times that they're planning on returning to the US market over the years, but it's never actually happened.
