Is Millers CFS 5W40 NT+ Magic?
OllieVRS:
Thanks for all your input guys :smiley:

Ever since the low oil pressure paranoia I've been changing my oil every 5000km, is that often enough for you? :grin:
But that was mostly to monitor for metal fragments in the filter, and with each oil change there were exponentially less. By the third oil change there were no longer any visible fragments in the filter, just <1mm ones that I only found by digging with a magnet, which I assume is normal wear.
pudding:
Yeah that is acceptable :grin: Well done you :happy2:
Glad the metal chunks are slowly reducing. They hang around in the corners of the sump and for ages.

Last oil change I used the Millers and my consumption more than halved. So yes, Magic!
Coat me £39 for a bottle.

Just re checked my invoice. I bought the non NT+ variant from Opie Oils using a 15% first order discount. If you want to get less oil consumption, might be a good shout to get the cheaper non NT+ stuff, as it's worked wonders for mine.
Lewo:
Thought it was too cheap to be true!
