Just a question Rich,

How do you know that Millers Nanodrive is the best available? Only asking it as i've never heard of it :confused: (not that that means anything :grin:

I trust alex's information. Although it does look like used oil when new (a bit brown) Alex assures me its the best, and I've no reason to doubt him.

It's not been out long with Millers.  There are only two oil companies in the world who are using this technology.  Millers have used it in their gearbox oils for a few years now and have only just moved it to their engine oils.

Search 'fullerene' in google to learn about the molecule and why its so good.  It acts like a ball bearing reducing friction and being carbon its a tad strong.

Obviously there are loads of 5w40 oils available, but this is the best.

Which oil should i go for?
I only want to spend £30 max for 5lts.
Is Mobil super 3000 5w30 or Mobil ESP any good?
