Miller Nano Drive Test

[th3_f15t]

The use of Halford's oil seems unfair, but the point was to highlight that oil isn't just oil and that spending the extra cash is actually worth it. I would be surprised if there's such a difference between Shell Helix 5w-40 and Millers Nanodrive 5w-40 for example.

I like the fact no-one has called me a chav so far for being a Fast Car reader...

I thought fast car died with lax powder lol.
Thats fine but how many people reading said mag are going to stick grotty halfrauds oil in their car?!?!

Id of said it would have been a better test between something like mobil being used....... The pro race i used to use in my cosworth was less than that stuff for 10ltrs and theres no way I'm paying out £80 for 5 ltrs of oil :lol:

Yeah, I'd like to see it against a more competitive rival, but there you go. Have a feeling that some freebies/money traded hands between Millers and Fast Car in order to make the results as good as possible. Also worth of note is the higher level of tune both cars appear to run, I'd be surprised if such a difference is felt in stock/stage 1 engines.

The way I see it is I don't expect BHP gains from oil, if I get it then that's a bonus. I just want my engine as well lubricated as possible since it gets well used and I want to look after it and for something that costs £20-£30 more for a bottle once every 6 - 10 months I'll buy it every time.

These engines and many others inc race engines have survived this long without nano tech, just another fad imo.

 And we have survived without 4k TVs and ipads.

As with most branded stuff, peel away the label and it's all the same. It's down to the specifications of the oil (which is a string of numbers), I'll try and find the article I read a while back that describes what to look for. Although, as you say, buying the genuine VW guarantees the right spec for your engine when stock but maybe not when running any form of tuning beyond a 20% power increase.

Im pretty much close to a stage2. My next service is soon also. I haven't really looked into oil to be fair. It was on the list of home work to do
