Mobil 1 0w20 Vi 170!?

[wolf_06]

Anyone ever tried this oil? The Vi looks pretty good. Should give good protection, but what about fuel economy?

Its not call Advanced Fuel Economy for a joke...... lol

You'll probably notice no difference in fuel economy between Mobil's 5w-20 and 0w-20.

If you want a light 0w-20 go get some Toyota 0w-20.

I have used both and the 0-20 seems to have an edge with MPG. I have noticed this on long interstate driving.

In the US we can buy Mobil 1 0W20 in 5-qt jug at Walmart for about $5.5/qt, while Toyota 0w-20 is about $7.xx from dealer.

In Canada I think you can buy Toyota 0w-20 for about $5.5/L while Mobil 1 0W20 is much more than that, if I was in Canada I would buy Toyota 0w-20.

I have that oil next up in the rotation. A few hundred more miles and it's in the sump.

The new Prius C is still getting broken in, with only 4500 miles it. It's getting about 50mpgs from most tanks. I currently have Valvoline Synthetic in it, replacing the FF at 1500mi.

I used to really like Mobil 1 products and used them for years. Then I became enamoured of PP. Then Pennzoil conventional for most applications.
Now that I have another new car to take care of, and want to put in PP 0w or 5w-20, I can't find any in the 5qt containers.
