Anyone for oil?
 

This turned up at work today, I don't have a drink problem, I promise!

(It's cutting fluid for those who want to know...)

I do indeed! What time do you deliver, bet we have passed one another many times and never known it...!

I know your feelings on their oil Dave, and to think you were so loyal!

I used it for ages, low detergent and soot levels asside..
They have been very evasive dealing with this, Rich has had 2 bottles like this now, they refused to even respond to him until he posted pics on their twitter feed. (he gave them more than a weeks grace too)
they offered to replace the oil.
Needless to say it does not melt back down with heat and if this got in your engine would easily block oil galleys and pickup pipe.

What is that jelly?

Its what comes in Millers cfs 10w40 and 10w60 as standard now apparently :|
I stopped using it a while back but this is the second set of pics I've been sent from another different bottle (diff batch numbers etc)

From my last conversation about it, it was being sent for private chemical analysis.

Mmmmm think i will need to empty my 3 bottles of 10/40w millers then before i do a oil change .

Just serviced mine with Millers CFS 5/40 ! first time of using Millers and went with it on Alyn's recommendation:five: i'm pretty sure he would not be recommending it and or stocking it if he knew there was problems with it.....

All looked good pouring it in and didnt see any 'jelly' in my funnel filter:five:

fingers crossed its all good:getmecoat:

I used the 5w/40 nanotech on my last change and it's been fine. Might skip millers on the next change though. Hopefully it's an isolated problem that'll soon be sorted.

Not wishing more of my tights to go missing but couldn't you try sieving it before use to be sure?

millers should be wearing your tights over their faces selling this !

having dealt with Millers Motorsport for best part of 20yrs (and still do) we have never come across anything like this??
also not aware of any other issues

would be very intrigued where this has come from as like all things not everything is always as genuine as it appears.......

I think millers have admitted that this can happen, and said it would breakdown under heat, apparently this doesnt help!

Hi Alyn, both lots came from 2 different suppliers according to Rich, I can find out which, as mentioned above millers said
It would break back down with heat, but this simply isn't the case. I'll ask rich to see if he can forward you the correspondence between himself and millers.

turned into a mad one this! got new engine coming and have used millers for years now I'm thinking I should try something else . ginola what do you use now?

I'm using Motul 300v 15w50 its not cheap though! Alyn can get for you.

I'm seeing paul finch on Tuesday and will ask the oil question plus his running procedure hs anyone read mototune usa breakin secrets
