The Right Motor Oil Is Key to Increase Your Gas Mileage

Does anyone even change their own oil anymore? I know I don’t. I use one of those quick lube places. When I bring my 2006 Chevrolet Suburban in they always ask me all these questions…to which I have NO idea. I act like I know what they are talking about and get whatever recommendation they made. Until now.

You can increase your gas mileage by 1-2 percent just by using your vehicle manufacturers recommended grade of motor oil. For example, using 10W-30 motor oil in an engine designed to use 5W-30 can lower your gas mileage by 1-2 percent. Using 5W-30 in an engine engine designed for 5W-20 can lower your gas mileage by 1-1.5 percent.

You also want to be looking for motor oil with the “Energy Conserving” on the API performance symbol to make sure it has additives that can reduce engine friction.

To make the most of your engines oil delivery system try using an engine restorative like Purrrform. This oil additive can pack a powerful punch in restoring your engines lubricity in the friction zones. We saw my Suburban go from 14.6 miles per gallon to 18 miles per gallon. Not too shabby. This particular product is guaranteed to give you a 2 to 1 savings. So you can try it without worrying. That is about a 5% reduction in fuel costs.

Use the right motor oil = 1-2% fuel reduction
Use an oil additive like Purrrform = 5% fuel reduction
Today, using simple techniques, you can shave 6-7% off your fuel bills!

Hmmm…what will you do with all your extra money? Don’t spend it in one place.
