MILLERS 5W40 Fully Synthetic Oil

[graham_172]

Went to rally design yesterday and got 5ltr bottle+ 1ltr bottle of millers oil for £45.29 including vat.

Bargain. oil change this afternoon. Renault genuine filter was only £6.

 

[bradfincham]

I rate millers.

I pay £15 for 6 litres though!!

 

[Geddes]

Ouch that is a really good price, where do you get yours from?

 

[graham_172]

must be on trade account or company buy?

 

[Geddes]

Sounds like it, not a bad day to sort the car out

 

[graham_172]

oil done, brakes done. just got to take it easy on the brakes for the next few days.

Oil is like honey to the engine. quieter running already. should help with track abuse.

 

[edde]

Millers stuff is superb oil.

Bed the brakes in hard though thats the way they should be beddin in a few 60 to 10mph hard stops then let them cool off and down stop dead on the brakes.

 

[graham_172]

okay will do.

I can get 6litres for 14quid throught a trade place. Surely most people here must know someone who has an automotive company card who can use it to buy them cheap bits?

I mean, I work for Land Rover but it just cost me £17 for 5litres of Millers and an oil filter for my GF's Peugeot 106! I mean, it's not like it's Land Rover products, not like I work in a dealership etc! Once i'm in the store it's like a candy shop of cheap automotive products! If only people who shop at Halfords were authorised to enter via the "Magic Door", they'd probably cry at the prices! The only thing that isn't really discounted is detailing products, only a few quid of most AG, Mags stuff etc! boo

Don't forget Millers do a few types of oil from there normal stuff for road use to there CGS etc type for motorsport use. Prices vary accounding to that. Most trade places wouldn't stock the CFS type fluids.

 

[graham_172]

CFs is what i got!

 

[Geddes]

Thaught you have to take it easy bedding the brakes in?

 

[edde]

Thaught you have to take it easy bedding the brakes in?

Bed in depends on exactly what type of brake pads but the hard bed in process of differen variations is the most common and best one it gets rid of the coatings on the brakes as soon as possible but down't let the resings stick to the disk or pads.

Try the Milelrs site I think you can from there.

Milelrs do a special diesel oil which I used now but I prefered the normal stuff but at £10 more I'm to cheap to pay and the diesel stuffs superb anyway.

 

[Tigger]

What do you use edde, got a link?

 

[graham_172]

www.rallydesign.co.uk is cheapest i have found

 

[James 182]

I'd have the Motul 300V over the millers

All millers is good for is a pint down the pub

 

[graham_172]

all about the additive package within the oil. motul is great stuff, just went out on a limb to break the mould. shell helix mould

Millers diesel stuff 10-40 i think it is there only one anyway.
I get it from Tweeks as its just down the road for me.

Just find a local agent, they also deliver.

 

[Fred@BTM]

we run millers in the cup 10W60

 

[Geddes]

Millers do a 'xfe' which is the semi syn diesel oil and 'xfd' is the fully syn oil comes in a 1ltr or a 5ltr tub

 

[Tigger]

Is the fully syn oil better for the dci ?

 

[Geddes]

It is yeah recomended by ren takes abot 5.5ltr i think

 

[edde]

Is the fully syn oil better for the dci ?

Doesn't matter to much. Its a better oil though.

It is yeah recomended by ren takes abot 5.5ltr i think

3.5 liters or so without filter ona dci.

 

[Tigger]

What exactly is the difference in 5W40 and 10W60 etc ? :S

Sorry for the questions lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

the first number refers to the oils viscosity (thickness) at i think 0degC (can't remember) the second number refers to the oils viscosity at 100degC

the lower the first number means it can withstand a lower outside temp

 

[Martin_172]

i use 5w40 millers motorsport oil in mine, change it every 4k or so

 

[Fred@BTM]

with fully syn oil theres no need to change it that often, unless you expose it to high prolonged abuse aka track
