Question about what brand oil to use

I currently use Pennzoil 5W-20 in my rx... My brother-inlaw told me when he switched to Mobile One oil in his Toyota 4 runner he noticed he got better gas mileage... He wasn't sure about the rotory engine thou... Anyone have any input on this ... If I switch to Mobile one 5W-20 would I get better gas Mileage????

Thanks

Castrol works great. Mobile would be good.

dude, I'm not trying to slam you but we just had this discussion AGAIN last week, please use the SEARCH function before posing a question

one of the reasons SEARCH can be a PITA is because people keep starting up the same thread topic over and over again, which means you have to sort through thread after thread after thread



starting with the STICKY at the top of the forum topic page:
