These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 11Original post

Hartech recommend Millers Nanodrive CFS NT+ 10W-50 for higher-mileage cars. It's what they use on the cars in their service/protection plan.

POST 12Original post

I put this in per their requirements re. running in the engine after their rebuild... and have used it ever since - I either replace the oil once a year or every 10,000 miles Tires, brakes and oil are the first places you should spend your money '98 C2 230,0000 miles

POST 13Original post

Just noticed your mileage, any rebuilds in there?

POST 14Original post

Not arguing, but genuinely curious why we'd want a more viscous oil at cold start, hence less start-up lubrication? FWIW I use the boggo Mobil 3000 standard spec 5w-40 oil that comes with my indy menu servicing. Happy to be advised to the contrary if there is a benefit. Used Millers Nano one year, noticed no difference at all to the way the car ran though of course thats only part of the story...

POST 15Original post

My mate argues this point. He reckons less viscous gets round the engine quicker when initially started and would prevent wear. Counter arguement is thicker when cold takes more of the clearance up on worn parts. :dont know:
