Just ordered some from here, the cheapest I could find it: http://www.auto-esse...e0631998abf1b9e

Works out at £31 all in. The extra tenner over most 20w50's I feel is worth it if it delivers the promised gear box protection.

that Millers is great stuff,

Its been observed on turbo motors that it reduces gearbox wear over normal synthetics, most people that swap to millers say they can feel the difference in slickness of gearchange.

Millers is a lot better than castrol, comma etc. Expensive stuff though.

it's funny how times change, i worked in a factors years ago and stuff like millers was laughed at, remember it being under £5.00 for a gallon.

yup, within reason oil is oil regardless of make. most places just 'blend' their own and most additives come from lubrizol etc.

In theory the EP additives should do some good, but I wonder if the same effect could be had by using a mineral 20w50 that still has high ZDP levels.
