I don't own any vehicles that take 0W20 that's for super modern cars... They claim to increase gas mileage. That's all I have for you
What are you putting in ? |

My Civic SI calls for 0W20...I just bought another jug yesterday for $30 My Honda dealer said the same about the gas mileage. I reset my mileage gauge after every fill-up and it's never below 40mpg. When I bought it, I noticed they also have 0W16 for sale. (Mobil 1)

Transmission fluid 'was' the common go-to for cleaning an engine. Inexpensive.
Add a little bit. Rev without load. The detergent sinks behind the piston oil ring gap and eventually flushes carbon. And then with load. A short trip. Change oil. But band-aids don't help. Long term. If an injector or spark plug or O2 sensor is gumming up the system, the problem will come back.
