Porsche Power Testing – EB Motorsport
EB Motorsport conducted a back to back test, comparing Millers Oils CFS 10w60 with the new CFS 10w60 NT, an innovative oil incorporating low friction technology. The new oil is one of five grades of low friction oils launched at Autosport 2012. All are designed to reduce friction in race engines, at the same time maintaining an excellent level of engine protection. A recent survey has shown that low engine wear is very important to drivers and team managers alike.
