Millers nanodrive 5w-40, can this be used?
« on: 29 July 2015, 21:58 »
Hi,

I only want to feed my gti with the best oil, when I bought it, the garage said it had been serviced prior to me buying the car, yet I don't trust what oil they've used, can I use 5w40? as millers is only in 5w-40, I feel like it will provide better protection when I put my foot down? and free up some power  :laugh:

Everyone seems to recommend the castrol edge 5w30 fully synthetic mate, thats what i use anyway, and thats what vw recommends.
