I'd hate to think that most people on here use Halfords classic. It's shit.
In the 13's at last!.. Just |

Just what I found Gr4ham. And I got loads of wear with Valvoline to.

But doesn't a racer sacrifice wear fr less friction? Maybe looking for something else on a road engine. I found that vr1 went a bit thin when ht and dropped oil pressure where ctv didn't.

I havent seen the oil pressure drop away with it though? Even in road engines. Given all your above advice, I reckon I will be using the millers on the road. Sorry for the slight hi-jack lee!
