Millers Oils CFS 0w20 NT full synthetic

My car is due for another oil change, and I've been researching all the popular and established choices. This looks very interesting and hoping for informed opinions here.

Designed for track use but suitable for daily driven cars.

It's a British product and there is a U.S. dealer, (Performance Racing Oils) so availability is not really an issue if you don't mind waiting for shipping. Just wondering if anyone here has used it, results, and was it worth the price..

$99.95, 5 Liter jug

BTW, presently on Mobil 1.

I'd suggest you stick with Mobil 1.

Why? Why not?

............cause if it ain't broke, don't fix it

or

..........back in the day, a lot of folks thought it best to stick with the same brand of oil in an engine ...... because it got used to certain additives.

It's time for my oatmeal.

I just found in another thread that Fensport's 1120kg Race build Runs this oil http://www.fensport.co.uk/FensportCars/GT86_Race.aspx. You wont have any issues running it, but you should do a UOA for it and post the results if you end up going that route!

Ive been running Eneos Sustina since my dealer oil changes ran out. It will save you about 30 bucks in comparison to millers, but oil doesnt make too much of a difference if youre just dd'ing. I like Eneos because it doesnt break down as quickly. I usually run it for about 15k before changing it.

I had the factory oil in my engine for about 3k miles then switched to Nanodrive so I don't really have a comparison to other oils personally, but here is a comparison of Nanodrive to another leading race oil.
