Ben in Ohio Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 My first full week of driving and I got 46.5mpg. That included some coasting down hill, but I think I can do better. So, I am looking at AMSOIL 0W-30 100% Synthetic Series 2000, http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/tso.aspx. However, this other website (which also sells oil), says "TOYOTA Echo engine which was NOT originally engineered to use the SAE 5W-20 motor oil", http://www.synlube.com/sae5w-20.htm (very last line). What do you recommend for the best MPG and engine protection? Also, what is the recommended oil for the manual transmission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
