[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 14342208, member: 112023"] The oil in my car was changed at 1,000 miles and again at 2,000 miles. The third fill was chosen to be 5W-20 since the car was still near stock, daily driven mildly. I wanted to see what the expected efficiency would be over the course of 10,000 miles with 5W-20. When I drain this fill, I can increase to Amsoil 10W-30 Signature and test for another year. The first few thousand miles will be the same setup, so it should reflect trends of mpg changes, if any at all. I'm always finding metrics to monitor for change. My hypothesis is that mpg will change so little, it's of no significance. Therefore, Ford calling on 5W-20 for CAFE laws/fines is unfounded, and the bean counters should have listened to the engineers calling to keep the 5W-30 recommendation. [/QUOTE]
