good read. I especially thought the part that stated synthetic oils do not provide better fuel economy at operating temps than dino based oil. Since every one always claims better fuel economy when they switch.

Yeah I found that interesting on the motor oil too!!!!

I am switching to royal purple on the Diffs and the tranny cause I got a deal on it!!!!!! LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!

allot of the material is geared towards bigger trucks with the lower RPMs,,,,, but the driving habits section and many others such as tires etc. is applicable

I did notice the MPG charts top out @ 7 MPG,,,, so I feel a little better about my toyhauler towing mileage
