Hi Aspenboy:

___First off, congrats on hitting the Hypermiler list. I should have caught your stats earlier. Sorry about that.

___Second off, the local Honda dealer near me changes oil for just $9.36 as long as I have my own oil and filter in hand. Once I found out about this deal, I haven’t changed oil in any of my automobiles since!

___Anyways, a good hyper miler knows the kinematic viscosity of Mobil1 0W-20 is the lowest for any recommended oil for our Honda and Prius Hybrids. You own a Geo Metro, right? I believe that might use 5W-30? Same applies. Pick up however many quarts you need of Mobil1 5W-30 synthetic and you will be set. For us Insighter’s, we only need 2.5 quarts. I am sure your Geo doesn’t use much more either so ~ $13.50 for 3 Quarts of Mobil1 5W-30 from your local Walmart, a Walmart purchased SuperTech filter (made by Champion Labs), and you should be set. The last time I purchased oil for the mowers, I found Mobil1 5W-30 synthetic for just $18.44 in a 5 quart container from you guessed it, Walmart. Nice way to save even more $’s since you will have a few quarts left over for the next oil change. I always ask for the ½ quart back to use on the Insight’s next oil change myself. I am assuming your Geo needs no more then 3 quarts but make sure up front is all …

___Finally, if you do a ton of highway miles, 7,500 miles between oil changes is a given. In fact, with Mobil1, many run 10,000 - 12,500 miles with no issues. Stick to your recommended longest intervals however and you will be good to go for a very very long time.

___Good Luck
