www.roadmagazine.co.uk/2011/04/13/project-s4-millers-oils/I have been using Millers engine and transmission oils (and their fuel treatments for track days) in all of my normally-aspirated and turbocharged performance cars for years now, with great success. So, they were a natural product choice again when I bought ROAD’s B5 Audi S4 bi-turbo.
Regular oil changes not only help your engine live longer, but give it the best chance of producing the power it should be making – especially in engines that run very hot, like high-revving normally aspirated engines with trick valve gear (like VTEC’s), or turbocharged engines, like the S4′s 2.7-litre, 30-valve, twin turbo. I will be dropping the oil (and replacing the factory filter) every 5,000 miles, or less… if I add track time into that time span, as per usual. This sounds expensive (possibly even a bit anal), but I reckon it saves money in the long run. Chaps I know with performance cars (especially turbocharged ones), who skimp on cheap oil, and extend the period between changes, are always down on power and, more often than not, cause massive engine failures, with much head-scratching and wallet-bashing, after sessions out on track – where it has to be remembered, the engine gets a proper pounding.
For the engine oil, I selected Millers CFS 5W40 competition fully synthetic ‘Triple Ester Formulation.’ Millers PR bumph says: “Millers Oils full synthetic Motorsport formulations combine three synthetic esters, with high performance additives (including the optimum amount of ZDDP Zinc antiwear additive) and friction modifiers to provide maximum power output with minimum wear. The high ester content reduces the amount of polymer in the formulation and increases the oil’s resistance to shear and loss of viscosity. Millers Oils formulations are recommended by many engine builders for highly stressed applications in racing, rallying, track day and fast road use.” And, whilst I do not claim to fully understand all of this ‘science,’ all my engines with this oil in, including the S4, have made good power on the dyno, felt strong on the road, and the track, and have never – yet anyway (touch wood!) – let go.CFS 10W40 ACEA/API compliant competition fully synthetic engine oil > formulated with 100% synthetic base fluids, including a blend of 3 esters with the latest additive technology for maximum performance > suitable for all normally aspirated and turbo-charged engines from 2 litres upwards > fast road use or trackdays, suitable for operating at 125 deg C with peak temperatures up to 150 deg C> other oil weights available starting from 5W40 to 15W60, as well asdedicated engine break-in lubricants > 5L packs ideal for engines with larger sumps / oil cooler systems requiring more than 4L www.millersoils.net/1_Millers_frame_MOTORSPORT.htm www.millersoils.net/1_Millers_r_MOTORSPORT_quotes.htm Millers is now featured in Cosworth race engines: www.millersoils.net/1_Millers_r_MOTORSPORT-GR8.htm email info@apdrive.com.sg for detailed specs and/or info on other lubricants...
