It clearly did reduce the friction compared to the first oil.

We're not the only people who have seen gains... http://www.millersoils.co.uk/nanodrive.asp

I knew it would be viewed with sceptical eyes, which is why I made sure the test was as fair as possible. Fresh oil, fresh filters, impartial dyno. As I said I I wish we'd have been able to test it against other oils, and maybe with hindsight we should have tested it against Millers normal oil, so we would be testing the actual 'Nanodrive' bit.

Millers asked us to perform the test, I said I would as long as they paid for it. I assumed it was just 'snake oil' and didn't want to waste time and money testing it. So they paid for the dyno, and the photographer, and some money on top to get 'reprints' of the test if the product worked.

There was no funny business, no lying, no tricks. Choose to believe it or not I don't really care - what I do care about is people thinking that a) I'm a liar, and b) that we'd make up test results for financial gain.
