The millers stuff is the best IMO, but pricey and hard to get hold of. I personally use halfords 15w/40 semi synthetic. The non synthetic won't withstand the heat in the turbo quite as well. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I'm mainly concerned about swirl in the runners caused by the tangential entry. |

I normally change as often as you can afford, doesn't do any harm. On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

Valvoline VR-1 20/50. Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

got some Vr1 20/50 but didn't like the colour after 1200miles so switched to Millers CTV Edited by gr4h4m on 23rd Jun, 2008. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |
