I know I've mentioned this before about European Oils being better than American/Canadian oils (or perhaps their cars are better???) but here is something interesting.
I vacation in Europe every two or three years, and always lease a car from Renault USA (Renault Eurodrive) http://www.renaultusa.com and today I received a flyer from them with the cars available for 2008. (No I'm not going this year but perhaps once the Dollar gains some value). The last two times I leased a new Renault Laguna, in the owners manual, the OCI "First Service" was listed as 30,000km which is aprox 18,750 miles. OK, this flyer I just got shows all the cars available and when the "First Service" is to be done.
1. Cars with Diesel engines call for First Service at either 9,000 or 12,000 miles, depending on which car.
2. Cars with Gasoline engines call for First Service at either 12,000 miles or 18,000 miles, depending on which car.
BTW, my Laguna is listed at 12,000 miles. Next trip, will check the owners manual to see if it still says every 30,000km
