22 mpg by changing gear oil video on YouTube.

anyone see the video on you tube with the guy getting 22 mpg.https://youtu.be/T0uWH2vfjJ4

 

BULL $%!*

 

Meh. I did my differential early at 15,000 with MOTUL. MPGs are the same.. im using Chevron e10 87. Hes talking about engine braking when he lets off the gas. Either hes resetting his MPG counter before downhill sections or coasting at 52mph on highway only.

 

More YouTube click bait.

 

Yeah when someone says they get all of their maintenance done at jiffy lube I will not be listening to them.

 

I wish I could average 15

 

Can't believe what's coming out of this guys mouth. Be sure to listen to jiffy lube guys

 

I can get that too going 40 mph! Look at his Speedo...

 

I actually been getting just south of 17 mph. Local driving. Mind you I'm very conscious of my foot.

 

Goodness. I made it about 2 minutes into it and couldn't take Dude ANY LONGER. But from the title of the thread I too will throw the bullsh!t flag.

Anyone see the silver (or was it gray?) TRD Tundra in the background, that he passes, at the 1:45 mark??

 

He lost me after the first 34 seconds....

 

According to my mgp gauge since i got my new tires and reset it, im currently at 14.9. Was at 15.2 a couple days ago. That was before i had to go into town 2 or 3 times.

14.9 is pretty good considering its been city and highway miles.

 

Never click on youtube links from people with single digit post counts. I suspect most of them are just shilling their video.

 

Lost me the second he said he gets his service done at jiffy lube. They literally tell everyone that they need those extra services.

 

I didn't know that. Couldn't know that. Never been to Jiffy. Will never be at Jiffy. Pretty sure I have the right attitude.

 

I kind of feel like, if this kind of mpg were possible, Toyota would’ve figured out a way to do it. Memo to Youtuber: It takes a unique form of arrogance to suggest that something as simple as a gear oil change will have this magnitude of impact.

Also: Jiffy Lube employs meth heads. That is all...

 

Are you the guy in the video?

 

I washed pollen off the windshield and now I'm getting 19mpg, it totally works. See

 

Best tank I had from San Antonio to Houston and back. 70 to 75 mph, drafting like Ricky Bobby, shake and bake.

 

Lol, never heard of gear oil impacting gas mileage, plus it’s not like he was getting poor gas mileage before the oil change. It’s pretty clear he’s in a CM and I’m guessing he doesn’t have a 4WD truck to be averaging such good mileage?

 

I didnt realize how old this clickbait is.....I'd bet he was reported back then, but is there a way to delete this crap so hes not getting views?

 

meh if anything it’s useful to keep up so it doesn’t happen again

 

I get 14.1 day in and day out city/hwy. I drove from Enid Ok to OKC on a dead calm day (a rare occurrence in this part of the country), and drove 50 miles at 75 mph w/ cruise control on and got around 15.5 mpg according to the trucks display. Then 50 at 70 mph (another rare occurrence) and picked up 1-2 mpg. Next was 65 and as expected gained another two. Figured if I kept slowing down I’d reach that magic 99. Guess I’ll never see 18/19 again cause I can’t let the Texas boys or girls pass me!

 

Lol, dangit. That probably was his video.

 

I wish I could get over 9 MPG.

 

What? I get mine done at Walmart! They’ve only left the filter loose a few times and the plug out once or twice.

 

The friction of the differential is not great enough to see fuel economy gains by an oil change, unless his diff was full of pitch tar before.
