Our owners club has a guy who works in the oil industry in lubricants.
His wife specifically designs oil for car engines.
If you've ever seen people posting on various car forums about oil with long explainations (and happen to be selling oil as a sieline), they aren't welcome on our forum due to the general BS and twaddle that they tend to post.
Incidently, most people on our site don't use flushes either, on his reccomendations. Those same people also compete in UK motor racing with ridiculously highly tuned engines and generally do rather well.
Obviously, your mileage may vary
Bet my diesel 106 does more miles per engine. (And I use a flush occasionally)

Keep your personal details out of this:rolleyes:I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -
Probably does.
I get 50MPG out of my diesel but about 25MPG out of a 2Litre petrol which is usually driven hard.
I used to have a skyline which on a trackday got about 1MPG if you were lucky. A few of us had a mini competition going to see who could get the least MPG

Worst I've ever had was 14mpg from a Rover SD1.0
