oil cause unholy gas mileage?
Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2004 4:24 pm
i changed my oil to 10w 30 about 2000 miles ago before the coldest winter on the books for ten years came around but for the last few weeks i loaned my car to a friend who had his in the shop. a week before he gave it back he told me it was sucking gas like none other and now that i have it back the mileage has gone to 12mpgs from about 21mpgs. is it posible that the warmer weather and thicker oil is causing the problem???
