This is true. However, after about two years on this Board I have yet to hear of anyone actually accomplishing this. What I do see is a consistent pattern of trying different oils, different weights in search of the holy grail and never establishing a trend with one oil and never stopping to say, hey this is it. It doesn't get any better.
I have used one oil prior to visiting this board and still use the same oil and weight because I haven't seen anything to alter my mind on what I use and I don't think I will live to see the full mileage of any vehicle I own regardless of the oil used.
