john fox Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 "ideal for later vehicles built from the early 1930s to the early 1960s with superior oil filtration systems" I suppose in its day the ferret nappy filter was superior, just not sure to what :cheesy:. Been using Millers oils since they were first recommended on here years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff66 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 difference between this one and sae30 for even older vehicles is pistoneeze has detergents in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john fox Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 difference between this one and sae30 for even older vehicles is pistoneeze has detergents in it yes I did read that - thanks for the update. Its like anything in product marketing, you refine your product and relaunch it in an improved version under new branding (at a higher price!). Was the day they recommended golden film 30 cos that's all they had, now as you say they have two 30s: detergent and non detergent. So the one with a bit of Fairy Liquid thrown in it shall be from now onwards (but after i finish the last of my golden film supplies of which I still have an unopened 25 L drum!)

Toolman Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 its trying to find the stuff for decent price thats the hard bit! Yes, I've been using Morris Golden film, but it's really gone up. Griff, do you buy Millers straight from the manufacturer? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff66 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 well did oil and change on ferret today went well getting old filter off bit messy as at first it did now want to leave top housing however new filter went in ok turns out my housing is o ring type as against flat gasket type but fingers crossed and after a ten mile drive no leaks ,tips rags under filter body, if o ring type bit of Vaseline on on o ring helps it stay in place, take off rear deck ,when doing up top bolt keep filter bowl centralised on o ring , fill up filter body with oil ,when ferret fired up oil light went off very quick!
