Right enough the site recommends it for mine too.

Opie recommend 10 40 on their site. Even with millers so i wonder where the truth lies on which is best

I would so you give it as fresh a start as possible.

I may well be following suit soon myself as im changing Maggie's again and ive been advised by to try a really good flush. Maybe an hour running over recommended time. Apparently it can even cure tappet noise which i was very intrigued with as she sounds awful at the moment.
