Default very quick oil question

Guys,

Just want to do an oil change on my 81k miles 3 door.

Will Millers fully synthetic 5w/50 be ok?

Cheers,

Mark

well i just coulnt get my tappets to stfu and when i drained the oil at about 60 odd degrees it came out like water. not very confidence inspiring in my book.

put the mobil in , up to running temps and hey presto..... nice quiet engine again. ive used this in my m3 evo, evo 4 and cossie and wont change to anything else for the forseeable (sp) future
