I decided to go amsoil this oil change, specifically 0w-20 XL. After years of homework, 3rd party testing, and research, I finally pried my wallet open to spend the $100 on 2 gallons for my 2012 tundra rock warrior.
Anywho, post oil change, I reset my mpg meter for s***s and giggles. It’s always been between 14-15mpg, and was at 14.5. I was expecting a negligible difference. I drove around town Sunday drive style, city/highway mix. To my astonishment, mpg went up to 16. I figured it was a fluke and I didn’t put enough miles on it to get an accurate reading. Mind you I was turning tow/haul and traction off and sending it from some intersections as well.
I then took a 120miles round trip and the mpg kept creeping up until it hit 17.2-17.3mpg and just stayed there!! I took a picture at 16.9 and it kept going from there.
I will keep monitoring and try to get a longer stretch of mileage to verify, but I have not changed anything else.
Not a salesman for amsoil but just wanted to share positive results. This will pay for itself in a few months if this keeps up, amounts to about 20% better mpg.
