Thought I would share this with the forum.
Two weeks ago I had the dealer put synthetic fluid in the engine, AT, Xfer case and both diffs. First 72,000 km used only dino fluids.
Yesterday went for a long drive.
Normal range prior to the synthetic fluids was around 440 km before the 'low fuel' light came on at 1/8 of a tank.
Yesterday with a drivetrain full of synthetics... got 480 km before we hit 1/8 of a tank!
The drive was a loop back to the house, so no tailwind, downhill, etc. factors that would artificially affect mileage.
I heard that mileage might improve, but was amazed to see the proof!
Cheers!
Keith
