Custom oil blend?
Hello all, I went to Walmart last weekend to procure oil change supplies for my 2019 UX250h. I bought a 5 quart jug of Mobil 0w-16 synthetic and a Toyota filter, pretty cool you can buy Toyota filters at Walmart.
While I was in the oil aisle I noticed Mobil 0w-8 oil. This got me thinking, I wonder what MPG's could be gained by making a custom blend of 0w-16 and 0w-8, say getting it to 0w-12 or 0w-10. Any gearheads on here have any thoughts on this?

Wash your car regularly with full body polish including a windshield. That will yield you a tad more MPG's.
Actually, you can inflate your tire pressure another 5 psi above your door post placard reccomendation or up to the maximum cold tire inflation pressure indicated on the tire sidewal.
This will yield a few MPG's more!

Don't. just use what the manual says. no need to tinker with something as vital and sensitive as an engine.
