Oil is oil, right...? Not according to Dave Gemzoe (who some on you may know via L7C and facebook groups). Dave did some research and found that Millers NT+ liberated 5% more power and torque than Shell Helix... so potentially a very cheap upgrade, even if the oil is expensive per se. see here for more info

		oops... missed that! doh! (where's the face plant emoji?) though both being xw30, won't they have similar viscosity at high, ie running, temperatures?
