Just found this: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60250-millers-oils-xf-longlife-5w-30-high-performance-euro-iv-fully-synthetic.aspx
I'm planning my 6 month oil change and was planning on replacing the usual Castrol edge 5w-30 with this. Will it be a better replacement I know it's longlife and I change my oil at least every 6 months 5k ish but at this price for 5L why not use the millers? Everyone raves about it ....
Also I generally use the OEM Oil filter are there better options out there?

Everyone raves about the Millers Oils Nanodrive 5w40. That's not the same. :wink:
I don't see any problem in using it for a stock engine. Nanodrive is better specially for tuned engines.

Ok I'm running a stock setup, so do we think the millers would still be an improvement on the Castrol?
-
There is a longlife nanodrive oil from Millers that meets VW spec

not the same as the 5W-40 nanodrive recommended for tuned engines:

Any renowned brand will be good for your engine, since you change it that often. Your oil doesn't have time to deteriorate. :laugh:
Don't see the point of paying an extra if you can buy a cheaper good branded oil. I don't know how much you pay for Castrol, but I'd choose the cheaper.

Flyingscotsman, The oil I linked to meets VW504 so what the difference?

It has Nanodrive technology, which reduces engine friction. :smiley:
