Millers told me 3,000 miles for road use, less for hard thrashing/racing for their CTV Mini Oil.

 

I'm thinking of send off a sample of oil to Millers to see how it actually is before I change the oil.

 

Interestingly Millers have very recently updated their CTV Mini Oil with the Nanodrive additive that they won a Queens Award for!

 

I've also found the oil in Diesels goes black very quickly.

Love Millers oil. Definitely my new choice once the engine is rebuilt!

In the late 80s I had an MG Metro TURBO that had oil changes at 12,000 miles !

 

What's changed ?

Fith gear tested the oil from gulf gti 10000 miles was about 3% quicker with new oil and all sorts stuff in oil. Water.fuel.metal etc we have gearbox to so for me it's going to be every 1500. 2000 if bit broke
