The fluids are supposed to be "slippery" than conventional Dino-Oil but from
past experiences on other vehicles with a "Synthetic Conversion", the MPG
didn't really go up at all. I'm running this for a personal test to see if
it actually does what they claim. Better MPG.
If you change your oil every 3500 miles (or even every 5000) with a good
quality brand, converting over to Synthetic is just a waste of money IMHO.

"I switched out the Power Steering Fluid, Clutch & Brake Fluid,
Differential
Fluid, Transmission Fluid, and Engine Oil...all to synthetic.
Let's see how the MPG reacts now."
Please clarify my understanding here. I thought synthetics just wore
(lasted longer) better than "traditional fluids" (and some would say are
more efficient), do they offer less resistance than traditional fluids,
too ? Is it that synthetics offering less resistance thus might help MPG
or something else ? How much difference in resistance can there be in
liquids ? Thanks for the synthetic's lesson in advance.
