A Brighouse company is set to further prove and test its innovative oil technologies in the British Touring Car Championship.

Following its success in sponsoring other motor sports, Millers Oils has signed a deal to provide AMD’s BTCC Ford Focus with all necessary lubricants, including the award-winning Nanodrive engine and gearbox oils.

Millers Oils said the deal demonstrated that motor sport teams were recognising the potential durability and performance benefits of Nanodrive.

The deal also gives Millers Oils a chance to further test and prove its technologies in the harsh environment of motorsport.

Business development manager Jason Lavender said: “The BTCC lubricant partner deal with AMD is the latest of our motorsport sponsorship deals and adds to the recognition Nanodrive is receiving throughout motorsport and automotive industries for its durability and performance benefits.

“Previous dyno tests have shown the Nanodrive range provides a competitive advantage to teams fighting in a strictly governed series, such as an 8hp increase on a Mercedes SLS AMG GT3. This partnership will give us a great opportunity to prove just what Millers Oils can do in a motorsport environment.”

The deal will see Millers Oils become the official lubricant technical partner for the AMD Ford Focus car, driven by Dave Newsham in the BTCC.

As well as supplying CFS 10w60 Nanodrive engine oil, Millers will provide CRX 75w90 LS Nanodrive gearbox oil, R300+ Racing brake fluid, brake cleaner, Extra Cool radiator fluid and Hymol 20 Grease.

Millers Oils, founded in 1887, was the first to offer diesel specific engine oil for cars.
