Even thou he was the guy who didn't recommend 10W60 as it was needlessly thick when hot. I think he said it was better for older engines, not modern stuff (I assume ours is modern)

You'll be fine with it as people have been using Millers 10W60 for ages with no problems.

Found it (this was before The Egde came out)

We do recomend the Silkolene Pro S 10w-50, you can use a 10w-60 but we feel the SAE60 is just too thick when hot.

If you speak to Silkolene they would suggest a 5w-40 but this is based on a stock car used for normal use, we havent come accross many stock GTIRs that have normal use and have found the 10w-50 to be that much better when pushed and is also fine for year round use.

Cheers
