Marchar i think you mean MOTUL 300v.............a lot depends on actual grade used, mods, etc.

Fuchs is a much lower quality than the Millers CFS and particuarly than the new Millers CFS NT and Motul 300v...........

thats the kiddie alyn, Motul 300v, The grade was 15- 50, Just rattled a couple of times when started from cold for a second or so

It was expensive, I think I paid about £120 for 6 litres and didnt even do 5000 miles on it :roll:

Probably got the wrong grade or somthing? Maybe I will try the millers next oil change :)

15w50 is far more suited to a classic or heavily modded scoob.........

if you paid £120 then you bought it from the wrong place.......... :wink:

to save a few PM's, etc......

we supply/use both Millers and Motul competition oils (and their full range if needs be) and have done for the past 12yrs+..........

we always have price reductions on and will happily beat or match any other genuine quote BUT as a general rule our "normal" prices are cheaper than most others "specials"

carry genuine filters, etc. in stock and will happily post World wide if needs be 8)
