yes when i was using 20w50 in my N/A over winter, it just took a little longer to get oil pressure when cold start up. Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

Only problem with CTV is the price ... £30 for 5 litres is about the best your likely to get ..... even buying it 25l at a time I can't get much under that and I got a very funny look when I enquired about the price of a 40 gal drum!! Every day is a school day ...........

about 5000 miles or once a year whichever is sooner I'd say. Maybe you could stretch it to 6k but I'd say keep an eye on it for the first period to make sure it's not degrading. I can get oil samples tested and do this regularly.

Gavin to be absolutely honest I'd rather walk than run either of those in a performance Mini.

Ive been the most impressed with the millers ctv 20w/50 so far. Very little wear on my last rebuild and was only the crank thrusts that really needed replacment. -MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO- |
