    I think the Sport 4 is now discontinued and the ecoMax is the new one.

    Same stuff I think.

    I used to use diesel sport 4 and was getting 5-7% mpg improvement. Then when I couldn't find it anymore I bought the ecomax stuff. Have had no improvement over non-additive use whatsoever. This did coincide with the temperature coming down for winter, but since Ive finished the bottle I still get the same mpg. This is all based on my figures since 19 March last year.

    Perhaps it works much better during the warmer months? But I can't recommend the ecomax on my own findings and certainly won't be buying anymore

    So as Antssss said, perhaps Power Sport 4 was the older range which maybe has been replaced by the Ecomax variety

    Just read this on the Millers site

    Developed on the success of, and replaces, the popular
    'Diesel Power Sport 4'

    I used DPS4 in my CDTi for for the past 30k miles with little if any difference in mpg & the egr & manifold still failed at 45k - I've also had the boost sensor off to clean yesyerday & it was ulmost unrecognisable for muck so I'm not convinced by DPS4 cleaning qualities either. I'll finish what I have but won't be buying any more

    Which did a test on derv additives, and the car they actually used was a vec 1.9cdti.

    The conclusion for all the additives (Millers was one of them) was no noticeable benefit.
