P500RTY Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hi Folks Anyone use this oil? (Millers Engine Oil CFS 10W60 Full Synthetic NT NANODRIVE) Just looking to see if anyone has used this oil and think its worth the upgrade and extra cash? Don't use the car on the track just fast road use. Thanks Graham Link to comment
johnmacdonald Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have used it for the last two years - recommended by an Impreza owner who is heavily involved with it in sprint racing. Expensive, but as our WRX is involved mainly in short trips, it seemed like a good idea. At 37,000 miles, it runs perfectly and probably all in the mind, it appears to be quicker and quieter. Also have Millers Nano oils in the gearbox and diffs. Like you Graham, very fast road use where safe and possible! We love our seven year old WRX PPP and as we all know, it's no longer worth much and hence my reason for giving the old girl the best... I did refer to Millers before using their Nano tech oils and they confirmed ideal for an Impreza Turbo. Link to comment
doogz Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) a few of the guys on p1woc with big power upgrades use this oil and recomend it very much, was going to try it myself at the next oil change. sorry my mistake its the 10w 50 they use Edited February 7, 2013 by doogz Link to comment
lewisscoob Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 IMO, there's no need for 60cp @100C if you're not tracking your car. I would doubt very much that road driving could thin a 50cp grade oil to the point of dropping oil pressure to dangerous levels. Link to comment
arch Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I use this in my road car and use Motul 300v in the race car. Link to comment

Hey Lewis I was recommended to use 10w 60 as the car is becuase the car is running 330lbs torque and 280 HP. But was thinking the same myself but i went with the two mechanics recomendation. Havent had a problem with the Lucus oil thats in the now seems to run smooth. Was just going the advice given. Do you reckon the 10w 50 would suit better? Engine oil can be a bit of a mindfield.

However, last main dealer service charged £46.86 for Q8 10/40 semi synthetic. Independent specialist who now services the WRX charged £52.00 for Millers CFS 10/60. As the car has low annual mileage, it's serviced once a year - extra cost for "the best" £ 0.10 per week!!! Bargain... Link to comment
