Has anyone used Millers Oils NanoDrive CFS 10W/60 in a Supra, specifically for a single turbo set up? I'm running the 10W/50 at the moment but as it's time for an oil change I thought I'd find out if this was now the best bet before parting with my hard earned... :D

 

From what I understand about engine oil the 10W/60 seems like the best of both worlds (same cold start viscosity, etc but with a higher top-end hot temperature rating), but if there's any specific reason why the 10W/50 is still the one to use, I'm open to suggestions.

 

My car is mainly used on the road but will be taken onto tracks as much as possible this year, if that makes a difference...

 

Cheers! :)

Sweet! Another question arose the other day in regards to fluid service. I don't have much experience on automatic transmissions and a friend of mine recommended that if the transmission oil did not look like a catastrophe and I didn't know when it last was changed (which I don't) I should just let the transmission oil be because mixing old and new transmission oil apparently could mess up the transmission and it was better left unchanged. Can anyone elaborate on this? Now both alternatives; Change transmission oil and Don't change transmission oil feels bad :-)

When you drop the transmission fluid out of the autobox you'll prob only get between 1.5 - 2.0 litres of fluid out of the sump that's all you should change. There will be about 8-9 litres in total (maybe a little more) but this will be in the torque converter and in the solenoids etc. So in short change what's in the sump and change the filter/strainer. Do this every 30.000miles or so
