Top Product award for Yorkshire oil developer
Millers Oils’ Flowcontrol® bottle revolutionises home oil changes
11 December 2014, Brighouse, Yorkshire – Yorkshire-based oil developer, Millers Oils, has been awarded a Top Product award by a leading automotive aftermarket publication. Professional Motor Mechanic, which provides 70,000 automotive technicians with monthly motor repair news and features, selected the Millers Oils’ Flowcontrol® bottle as one of the best innovations of the year.
“It’s great to see our innovative products gaining recognition from the industry in this way,” says Steve Woollven, Managing Director, Millers Oils. “The Flowcontrol® bottle has received excellent feedback from customers and this award is a great testament to the hard work and dedication we have put into designing and producing it.”
The Flowcontrol® bottle makes pouring oil into an engine significantly easier. The unique bottle design allows the user to control the flow of oil without the use of a funnel, helping to prevent spills and contamination. Vehicle owners often use the same funnel for topping-up engine oil in multiple cars and garden machinery, which can lead to lubricant contamination and expensive component damage; the new Flowcontrol® bottle combats this and enables consumers to top-up or change oil at home with ease and confidence.
Millers Oils has previously been awarded the Queens Award for Enterprise, for its exceptional international growth and the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) Award for Business Excellence in Technology and Innovation for Nanodrive® lubricants.

When tested against a competitor’s oil of the same viscosity, Nanodrive recorded 40% lower friction at operating temperatures of 110°C, with significantly improved film strength. Millers Oils uses the expertise gained in motorsport and performance car development to ensure it remains a leader in automotive and commercial vehicle oils Millers Oils devotes an equivalent R &D effort to its broad range of industrial lubricants, most recently into hydraulic oil subjected to spot operating temperatures of +130 C in systems fitted with nitrogen accumulators used in offshore drilling operations. The resulting Millers Oils product is now in international use.
