Your missing the bit where you shouldn't believe all you read on the tinternet  :signLOL:

...said a bloke on the internet  :thinking:

I have no axe to grind either way, and am genuinely shocked. Don't take me the wrong way please.

I don't buy Millers, primarily for VFM reasons. Put another way- I'm too mean.

No problem buddy, i've not taken you wrong at all  :grouphug:, the point i was trying to make was, Is it a known problem? :surprised: I don't believe it is, i tried googling last night and could find nothing on the subject.

ONLY as a result of your last...
Perhaps your Google is gummed up too?  :signLOL:

From "millers oils additive drop-out"
Mine found this - first page:

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-general-1/1036743-millers-oil-must-read.html&ved=0ahUKEwjy4qamgJDQAhUCwBQKHeBsC7sQFghRMAQ&usg=AFQjCNFXPJMZS_hGE40FqkkcZWLMGk31AA&sig2=YS2uGZE4yYCZ8-FuOx329w

Could this be the guy?
Not for a moment saying its kosher...

The vast majority of other googke hits appear oil salesmen/ads of one kind or another.
I'm still not convinced, either way...

....Old fart now spends 10 mins trying to add downloaded emoticon for "sceptical"...and fails!

On my old bike forum, the guys used to swear by Halfrods semi-synth bike oil When I got my gti bought some Halfrods VW/Audi 5w30 for top ups. Most on here seem to prefer branded options.
I'm currently using Millers nanodrive. Can't say I notice any performance difference but it does use less of the 5w40 than it did 5w30 (it's Stage 2 mapped).

Same here, consumption is ddowwn over the 5w-30 so less top ups= better VFM.

Back in my GTiR days we used slikolene pro s (now fuch)

Subarus do have a habit of eating there own engines so that explain the clumps lol

 :ashamed: Ok googling fail.  :laugh:

Not to throw fuel on the fire, i'm just playing devils advocate, but the oil in that facebook article isn't what i use in my car, and not what any of this community would use either, 5w40 CFS Nano tech, different oil me thinks...
