Miller Nanodrive Analysis - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Bg8780 · 10-09-2014, 05:25 PM

Just posting my analysis of Miller's Nanodrive 0W-30 after 5200 miles. If anyone was curious of this oil I figured I'd post here for the community.

Manufacture's site: http://www.millersoils.co.uk/nanodrive.asp

PDF is attached.

UPDATE: Added 10k analysis

I'm in the process of converting over to Millers Performance Oils CFS 0W20 NT, so I'm very interested in the results of the analysis. Can someone with more knowledge than myself provide any insight to the results?

The sharing of this significant used oil analysis report is greatly appreciated. The word is that Miller's makes great products.

I've been pretty happy with he fluids so far. 190whp 155wtq with JDL UEL uncatted and catted front pipe. I'm not saying Miller's oil gave me those results but I think it helped.

"3.8% power gain and 2.9% torque gain in a Toyota GT86."

hmmmmm. Who is going to be the guinea pig?

If I had the money I'd switch to a different oil and dyno again. But dyno isn't free lol

I've been trying to find information on how this oil (nano drive NT) handles e85. nothing seems to point in that direction

I'm on my second fill of 0W-30 Nanodrive with lots of E85 track use. I'll be getting a UOA done soon.

It's great oil that's extremely durable and effective at significantly reducing friction. The fact that it can be used as a legit performance upgrade for the FA20 is pretty awesome.

It has proved to be very durable. I'm strongly considering pushing this to 10k intervals. I may do another analysis around 8500 MI and see how it's looking.

For a comparison/baseline here's amsoil dominator on e85 with ALOT of dyno time and very hard street driving. @ATL BRZ looking forward to your uoa.

Likewise Reaper. ATL Please post your UOA in this thread once you get it done. but If you've been using it like that. I'd assume its okay for my usage. Thanks

Actually, I completely forgot I had sent them an email asking about the 0w-20 NT a week ago or so. dont see why the 30 weight wouldn't.
