Default Best oil.

Ok while the car is in the garage I'm going to do an oil change, i'm currently using millers 5/40 nanodrive just wondering is this still regarded as a good oil to use for 450bhp newage if so anyone know where best to buy this from and anyone got any discount codes or if you think I should change any idea what I should change to?

I use the same for my 330bhp Newage but the car burns it off extremely fast, I certainly wouldn't use it for a track day. I'd use the thicker Nano grade.

How is your oil usage, Gonzo?

It does use oil but nothing to excessive but it's the worst I have used in that respect, so I'm just looking for opinions on what else I could use.

We have both Synionic and millers in stock.

Synionic is our preferred oil and if you look at the listing on our website it helps to explain why :-)

Use code SCOOBYNET for your discount
