Do you by any chance sell top priced oils
Yup and cheap ones, but I do not tend to recommend those for track use

How many oils are specced for track use then? Outside of Motul, I honestly can’t think of any off hand, and how many people bother with the expense of that in a road car that sees the odd track day?
Would I buy Tesco oil? For a fun car no, although these is no logic behind that at all and I cannot fault a single word Alex says. I’d shove it in the dadmobile happily though!
As you say Motul is one, such as Motul Sport, Millers CFS or their new EE Performance range, Fuchs Pro S, Gulf Competition to name a few. These are performance/track/race oils but are fine for road use and many more than you may think run them daily.
Then there are premium quality oils that are fine for some track use, Mobil, Castrol, Shell and many many more.
The point I am trying to make here is the Tesco own brand thing, and the difference you will find between that and a premium or track/race spec oil. They are night and day. One is toll blended to the lowest cost for Tesco, the others are premium quality oils and that is reflected in their performance on and off track. Like everything in life, you can buy quality or you can buy crap, but is important to know the differences between the two. Tesco's own 5w-40 and Castrol Edge Titanium 5w-40 are very different animals from one another.
You said it yourself, you would not use it in a fun car although you have no logic for that. I would argue you do have logic, or you wouldn't think twice about it. The answer to your logic is, Tesco own brand is not built to the quality you want on track, would you trust it? As I said in ealier posts its all about how the oil can cope with it, and shearing down under hard use on track. Shearing means the oil is thinng, breaking down, you don't want that on track. The engine will not thank you for it.

Does not mean that it isn't though.
The OP has a standard road car, not a race car and is only proposing a few spirited laps on track.
However on saying that, an oil more suitable for regular track use which can double up for road use may be a good plan.
I understand all of that, it does not change the fact Tesco own brand is made to a cost as low as possible and is not designed for track use. Engine oil does not know if it is in a road car or a race car, it knows what kind of stress it is getting and what it can cope with.
There is quite a difference between an own brand road oil, and one that is designed to cope with track use and it is all to do with the shear stability of the oil, and this is not reflected by any specs the oil may, or may not meet.
It is not dissimilar to tyres, you can do a track day with ditch finders, or you can use a quality tyre. They both meet the same DOT rating for road use.
There are plenty of oils fine for both road and track use, but I would not class Tesco's own as one of them.

Would anyone use a non branded oil?
I have a track day coming up and part of my car prep is to do an oil change..
I'm going for 5/40 fully synth..
Tesco are selling their own brand and have an offer on at the moment (club card)
£10 for 4lts
https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/285281604
so would you?
please dont shoot me
The Tesco own is made to a cost, and that cost does not account for track use.
FIne for road if you are on a budget, but for track use something designed for and up to the job

I just had my 18 plate nismo serviced at Nissan and they used quartz 5w30 , I’ve started to hear knock since that service 500 miles ago, anyone ever had experience of quartz 5w30 and are dealers not ment to use ester 5w30
Most dealers will not know what an ester oil is, they will just have a barrel of correct spec oil to cover many cars. Total is a quality brand and 5w-30 is fine, so the knocking should not be due to the engine oil.

You will be fine with Millers

The oil will not have an effect on weather the engine starts or not. But if it has been sat since 2019 it will need changing sooner rather than later.

Thanks guys,
I've found Opie to be very contradictive. They list several varying specs of 5w-30 which when you read the specifications say they're suitable for Ford, BMW, Chrysler etc.
I'm sticking with 5w30 from my work, we only sell good quality oils anyway to avoid issues with the garages we supply. Thanks for the advice though.
Just to clarify, the spec required for your car is API SN 5w-30. When you put your reg into our look up guide it looks for all 5w-30 oils that meet API SN as they are suitable. If they meet other manufactures specs as well it does not matter

Hi guys

HeatShield Products was established in 1985 as a family owned and operated business, and has gone from strength to strength ever since. A huge name in the states, they are recognised for the impressive work they have done with NASCAR racing, competitive off roading and an array of other performance motorsports. As you can imagine, with over 30 years of experience in this highly demanding area, their products offer the best performing heat shields, exhaust wraps, heat protective sleeves and thermal insulation around.
Engines and all of their components create very high temperatures and are under a lot of stress when operating at performance levels. If you have a modified vehicle, then we have the Heatshield Product to give you that edge you are after, and the peace of mind that you're covered during track days and competitions. On our website, you will find relevant and concise information on exactly what you can expect from their products, from the benefits gained, to the precise temperatures that they can take.

Magnetic Sump Plugs from Gold Plug - The last drain plug you'll ever need!
Another American company, Gold Plug was started in 2001, simply because they were fed up of not being able to find a good quality magnetic drain plug for their street bike engine that they had just finished rebuilding. After searching high and low, Gold Plug was born. Now, their daily mission is to supply the very best magnetic drain plugs to keep your vehicle running in the best possible condition. Why choose a magnetic oil plug over a standard sump plug you ask? Well, there's quite a few reasons actually.
Every time you run your engine, there will be a build up of contamination in the form of thousands and thousands of very small particles of ferrous metal. The main cause for these microscopic particles is friction, and you can imagine how much of this is generated when driving hard. To put things in perspective, an engine travelling at just 2000rpm sends the pistons up and down the bore 33 times per second. Imagine what a day on track is doing to your engine!
The oil filter does its part in keeping these filtered, however they can only filter out particles larger than 35 microns. These nano particles of metal suspended in the oil are considerably smaller than this, and to top it all off, the smaller the particle, the more damage they can do - This is because they travel pretty much anywhere in your engine when under hydraulic pressure. The only way to "trap" these particles is with very strong magnetism.
You can find them HERE. If you fancy a look at exactly how magnetic sump plugs work, you will find a handy video on each product page. Have a look below for links to just a few of the vehicles they cover:
- Subaru - Nissan - Mitsubishi - BMW - Honda - Audi - Mercedes - Toyota - Ford - Peugot - Mazda - Volkswagen - Renault - Volvo - Land Rover - Mini -
Gold Plug have designed their range to fit over 100,000 cars and motorbikes, so if you need any advice on the correct one for you, then please get in touch. Why rely on just any old drain plug, when you can have one from Gold Plug that saves your engine from the wear and tear of metal particles?
One last time, that code is: HG20 and is running until the end of March, so if you want to get 20% off either of these great brands, you'll want to get these orders in as soon as you can.
It's also worth keeping an eye on our current offers page HERE. There's all sorts of goodies to be found!
If you've got something a bit special and need a bit of advice, then give us a ring for a bespoke and impartial recommendation that is tailored to your specific set up. We're in the office Monday to Friday 8:30 - 5:30, on 01209 202 944 and sales@opieoils.co.uk. You can also drop us a message on here.
Until next time,

We expect the majority of you have heard of Millers Nanodrive Oils by now - They were a real game changer when they were first introduced to the world of motorsports, providing a dedicated range of oils that were designed to increase power by reducing friction, all thanks to their nifty "Nanodrive Additive Package"
Well, the tech guys at Millers Oils have done it again. They've improved on what was considered the peak of performance oils by ushering in a new and improved range for their motorsport category, and Opie Oils are pleased to announce that they are on the shelf and ready to go - just in time for the race season!
Millers are driven by their obsession to produce highly innovative products which offer outstanding friction reducing properties. This is at the core of everything that they do. Due to an intense development programme, their new and improved range of next generation competition racing oils now incorporate their award winning NANODRIVE ultra low friction technology accross the board, with black bottles and a sleek new label design.
CSS (Competition Semi Synthetic) and CFS (Competition Fully Synthetic)
First off, we have the CSS and CFS range. Millers have significantly improved the capabilities of the already established CSS and CFS oils by incorporating a high performance, triple ester formulation, and then adding a measured amount of their unique NANODRIVE additive package. It's the addition of this little beauty that can effortlessly deliver up to 15% lower levels of friction than their predecessors.
The entire CFS range are all fully synthetic and has benefitted massively by this addition of the NANODRIVE additive package, offering a further 26% reduction in friction than their predecessors. Simply put, you can expect significantly improved levels of performance on track and road, delivering great value and performance levels in an affordable package - these are designed to increase an engines performance in respect of improved HP and increased torque.
You can find them all below:
CSS (Competition Semi Synthetic) Range
CFS (Competition Fully Synthetic) Range
There's also a couple of oils in this range that have been blended for specific applications:
- Millers Oils CTV Mini 20w-50: Specially formulated for competition Minis and any application where the engine and gearbox share a common oil
- Millers Oils COR 20w-50: Exclusively formulated for short circuit racing and particularly suited to older classic sport applications
- Millers Oils KR2T: A bespoke CIK-FIA approved formulation for rotac and all high revving 2-stroke kart and bike engines
CFS NT+ (Competition Fully Synthetic)
Up next, we have Millers new flagship NANODRIVE NT+ Oils. They have completely redefined their criteria usually associated with a performance lubricant to bring an absolute top of the range product to those in the absolute top tiers and demands of motorsport.
This range features their new and improved NANODRIVE NT+ ultra low friction package. If you thought their previous range of Nanodrive oils were great, and they couldn't possibly improve on them, this NT+ package is proven to reduce engine friction by a further 15% over and above these previous multi-award winning products - this sets the NT+ range apart from all others in this arena, providing immediately noticable increased levels of power and torque as well as increased efficiency in your engines performance.
Have a look below for all the viscosities that are in this range:
NEXT UP - TRANSMISSION OILS AND SUSPENSION FLUID!
Millers engine oils weren't the only ones to benefit from this liberal application of the magic NANODRIVE package. Their gear oils and transmission oils have all been subject to this update. Their competition grade transmission oils have been formulated using a unique combo of improved chemistry and NANODRIVE additives to massively reduce friction against a standard oil. For use in manual transmissions, synchromesh, non-synchromesh, sequential gearboxes, transfer gearboxes, transaxles and hypoid differentials, there's a full range to choose from:
- CRX 75w-90 NT+ - CRX 75w-110 NT+ - crx 75W-140 NT+ -
For vehicles with limited slip, have a look HERE.
Millers have also had their first foray into adding their NANODRIVE NT+ technology into a broad range of suspension fluids. Thoroughly tested and offering excellent bump and rebound characteristics, proven to significantly contribute to an extremely smooth suspension operation. Ideal for those days on track!
Available in a viscosity for every situation:
- Millers Oils Suspension 2.5 NT+
- Millers Oils Suspension 5 NT+
- Millers Oils Suspension 7.5 NT+
- Millers Oils Suspension 10 NT+
- Millers Oils Suspension 15 NT+
All in all, Millers have really put some work into their newest offerings for the world of motorsport, giving you peace of mind that you've got the best possible product in your car, regardless of its level of modification or the type of use it is getting.
You can view all of Millers products HERE, including their rebranded brake fluids, fuel treatments, competition running in oil and even their updated range of Motorbike Oils. Those of you with a classic vehicle tucked away may be interested to have a look at their updated Classic Range, which you can find HERE. They've done a great job of creating top quality products that perform fantastically in classic vehicles and harnessed that vintage look with old school metal cans and label design.
