Ok guys ive used Mobil 1 since it was created and think its a very good oil
15w/50 in my car, im about to have turbo's and head work done and the company that could be doing it recomends Millers.

Your thoughts are welcome as ive never used Millers

Best ask the oilman (Opie Oils)..... (I think he's still a registered trader here)

What oil you need depends on loads of things and no one oil is the definitive "best to use".

I don't take my own advice though, personally I just go with whatever oil my mechanic wants to put in there.

oilman advised me Fuchs Silkolene 10w50. I've been using this for the last 18 months with no issues.

Hope this helps,

The Oilman doesnt list the Millers oils, just done some searching and found lots of sales stuff how it does this and that, quite a bit cheaper than Mobil 1.

Trouble is now if i swap to Millers ive got approx 10 litres of Mobil 1 :doh:

Why don't you give that to the guys working on your car and ask them to use it, may save a few pennies as well.

Well im just concerned that if i insist on my mobil 1 going in there that there could be issues if i have any problems with the car, im just being paranoid having been down this long and winding rd before :argue: :zipped:
