Engine oil?
Personally i use Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5W-40 Ester Synthetic Engine Oil from opie oils
6 litres does it with a bit to top up,Use a good quality filter also.

I use the Fuchs Titan supersyn which is currently on offer at opie. 5w40 fully syn is correct for the 182. And I also get a genuine filter and a new sump plug washer.
Ime 5l is just enough, then I have a top up bottle to keep in the garage or in the car on long journeys but have rarely used it.
I just ordered my oil today infact, to hopefully do a service this or next weekend!

This.
Motul 300V Power 5W-40 if you want the very best but expensive at £105 for 6 litres!
Also using Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5W-40, bought 12 litres when it was last on special from opie with free delivery, worked out to about £38 for a 5 litre bottle = bargain!
Also opt for a genuine plug and washer as theyre only about £10 from Renault.
Easy enough job to do just pop the fuel rail cover off to get to the filter easily.

I use their Crono in the 5 GT Turbo, comes in "proper" tin cans though fortunately the sump is smaller. Fuchs Titan 5-40 in the T.
Any fully syth 5w/40 oil that meets ACEA A3/A4, be it Ester/PAO or hydrocracked oil. I've used Halfords fully syth 5/40, shell helix, mobil 1, Elf oils and the car is fit as a fiddle. I don't see the point in spending good money on expensive ester/pao syth oils, you won't notice any difference, just stick to factory recommendations IMO.
Don't stick to factory intervals for the sake of your dephaser.
Personally i have changed my oil and filter every 6K since new,some may say its overkill but good lubrication leads to a healthy long lived engine.
+1, do mine every 6000 - 8000, friends say its overkill but its better than a fooked dephaser!!
I use Motul 8100 X-Cess 5W40, goes in the Trophy & the 330i so i can buy in bulk from Opie.
Trophy gets changed every 6-8k. Only £34 for 5L so i normally get 20-25L each order.

Mine drinks the stuff so keep a hoard of 5W40 in the shed (and carry top up pack).
Only ever use Elf fully synthetic.
