2020 Renault Clio V Lug Nut Torque & Bolt Specs
The 2020 Renault Clio V lug nut torque is 89 ft-lbs (120 Nm). Torque in a star pattern in two passes (snug, then final), and re-check after the first 50–100 miles of driving. Use a calibrated torque wrench — not an impact gun — for the final pass.
Lug nut torque: 89 ft-lbs (120 Nm).
This page is the OEM-referenced fastener summary for the 2020 Renault Clio V. Use it before any maintenance or repair job where torque values matter — brake work, wheel changes, suspension service, engine teardowns, or oil changes. Specs are pulled from manufacturer service literature, cross-checked against community data, and updated as new chassis variants become available.
For the 2020 Renault Clio V, fasteners follow metric standards typical of late-model Renault engineering. Always confirm spec against the factory service manual before tightening safety-critical fasteners (suspension, brake, steering, head bolts).
Common fastener categories on the 2020 Renault Clio V
- Wheel / lug nut torque and thread spec (covered above)
- Brake caliper bracket bolts (typically 80-130 ft-lbs) and slide/guide pins (18-35 ft-lbs)
- Engine oil drain plug torque — rarely above 30 ft-lbs; always use a new crush washer
- Transmission pan, valve cover, and intake manifold bolts (low torque, often 89-106 in-lbs)
- Suspension control arm, sway bar, tie rod end and ball joint torque
- Spark plug torque (typically 10-15 ft-lbs on aluminum heads — do not exceed)
- Differential cover bolts (RWD/4WD only) and transfer case fasteners
Repair guidance for this model year
For 2020 late-model work: Modern vehicles increasingly use aluminum body and suspension components. Aluminum fastener torque is typically 60-70% of equivalent steel torque, and aluminum threads strip easily. Use a calibrated torque wrench and apply anti-seize on any steel fastener threading into aluminum.
Tools you will need
- Metric socket set (8mm-22mm), 6-point impact-rated
- Calibrated torque wrench (10-150 ft-lbs covers most automotive jobs; add a 0-250 ft-lbs wrench for truck lug nuts)
- Breaker bar (24" minimum) for initial loosening
- Penetrating oil (PB Blaster or Kroil) for any fastener over 5 years old
- Anti-seize on stainless or dissimilar-metal threads; thread-locker (Loctite blue) on critical reassembly
Frequently asked questions
What is the lug nut torque on a 2020 Renault Clio V?
The OEM-specified lug-nut torque for the 2020 Renault Clio V is 89 ft-lbs (120 Nm). Use a calibrated torque wrench in a star pattern, in two passes (50% and 100%), and re-check after 50-100 miles of driving.
What socket size do I need for the 2020 Renault Clio V lug nuts?
Most modern Renault vehicles use a 19mm or 21mm socket. Older Renault models from before 2000 may use a 13/16" SAE socket on certain trims. Confirm against the actual lug before purchasing aftermarket wheels.
Are the 2020 Renault Clio V fasteners metric or SAE?
Metric is the standard for this vehicle. Most fasteners on this vehicle are metric (M6, M8, M10, M12, M14). Bring a full metric set; SAE substitutes can round the head. Bolt-head markings are the fastest way to confirm grade and material at the bench.
