10 - 60 Millers oil for road use!

[Rawhide]

Hi - I have a 182 running 5 - 40 Millers nanotech oil and I plan on doing a service.

I have 6L of Millers 10 - 60 on a shelf which I used to run in a Porsche.

I don't do many track days as I don't have time. I do lots of motorway work and rural driving. Not much town work.

I'd like to use the 10-60 as I know it's great stuff and it would be a shame to waste it but it's winter soon as well.

Any ideas or should I play safe and just get the right grade?

Why risk it?

£30 for new 5W40 elf (or similar) oil or £500 potential repair bill for new engine.

If it was getting abuse on track then I'd say yes but with just motorway I'd say use the manufacturers recommended grade... My opinion anyway pal:up:

Thanks. - I will probably do that but I'm genuinely interested in how I could kill an engine?

I thought I might lose some power and have to be more gentle on the car during warm up cycles.

Is there really other risks with this?

Actually it's 10-50. I confused it with the Mobil 1 stuff for an M3
