RE: Changing fluids...
So did you notice any change when you switched to sythetic oil?

RE: Changing fluids...
I gained mileage from the oil... not sure on power though, I had it done at like 400 miles.
it is actually hard to say in my case what I gained/lost from the switch. my motor was sooooo new...

RE: Changing fluids...
ic... I don't take note of my mpg enough to really notice whether I'll gain anything or not.

I can say this though... I get great mileage. some people have bashed on me for it. I get over 20 consistantly... I know people do too, but for some reason I caught some flack for it...

I can get about 21.7mpg at 55mph.
I'm never in any hurry to go anywhere... heck, I've gotten 22.6mpgs on a trip one time.
Oh, and yes, hand calculated.

RE: Changing fluids...
I changed to synthetic oil at a hair under 12000 miles....I noticed a slight increase in mpgs....maybe 0.5 to 1 mpg.
Hoping to get the second synthetic change done one night this week.
