Actually that Millers oil is probably the best, I'd forgotton about that. The only reason I don't use it is it's expensive and I can't buy it locally.

Used to use valvoline 20/50, but got a lot of gear and cam follower wear with it. Now use Ford Super 10/40 - 7 quid a gallon, and seems to have stopped my followers and gear flanks from pitting after only a few thousand miles...
