I’ve always chosen Millers oil over the main brand's. They used to use it at work in the trucks and with regular testing by Millers proven to still good after 250,000 kilometres with frequent filter changes if it’s good enough for £95k 450 Bhp trucks I’ll chance it in a 300TDI
I’ve also used the nanodrive and nanotech in both the Pumas and various performance cars both petrol and diesel and maybe a placebo effect but I believe I can notice a positive difference in performance and economy. The additive ecomax in diesels also seems to work wonders also.

I know nothing about Millers Oils, and I will not “name and shame” another supplier of lubricants.
However, the old oil drained from customers’ cars by the main dealer for whom I worked would be collected by a well-known “manufacturer and supplier” to be recycled and re-distributed to the trade (and in its retail cans too? That I can’t confirm). This recycled oil had “OEM approval” and didn’t affect warranty, and is the principle much different to the sieving and chemical purifying of sewage effluent? Prejudice perhaps, but I only use oil from brand-names that I know DON’T contain “second-hand” oil. Peter |

Depends on what you call recycling? If the oil is tipped back into the crude at the refinery then IMO we're all good, once the oil is distilled/redistilled we are back at square one.
If however, the reclaimed oil is simply filtered/cleaned and checked for viscosity before being repackaged then I certainly wouldn't want to use it in any vehicle of mine! Please name and shame, why not? |

The additives in the oil are more important than the oil itself. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
