One immediate thing I've noticed is that I have a much higher oil pressure at low revs....
Yes, I noticed this too.Edited by nebpor on Wednesday 22 November 17:56
(from memory) When fully warmed, the oil pressure was just below 1 with the old oil but was closer to 2 with the thicker Miller oil.
The car also definitely felt better with the new oil. Very subtle, and only something you'd notice if you know your car inside out. Hard to say exactly what it was, but it was more than the placebo effect.
I started using Motul 300V 15/50 and Millers 10/50NT in my built 3.9 Mezger motor due to its high power and on advice from my engine builder but we had problems a couple of times with camshaft actuator throwing codes and some misfiring, the actuator was replaced once but in the end we reverted back to Mobil 0-40.the thinking being the the heavier oil is somehow blocking/fouling the actuator.
The Motul is a racing oil and those motors (which my engine man builds) do not use the variocam system.
That was 6000 miles ago and no problems since..... worth thinking about for variocam owners ?

Just to contribute to this a bit as I was triple checking which Millers Nanodrive to use just now; It's the one with the yellow stripe down the side of the bottle, not the red, presumably due to some kind of science, it's also the dearer one.
