Re: Gas Mileage for 98 4Runner SR5 V6
Nope, but I have to be careful and mix in some diesel come winter - as it gels at a higher temp than diesel.
As an aside I also have had to register with the customs, and pay duty for the oil. Trev

Re: Gas Mileage for 98 4Runner SR5 V6
Guys here go salvage used cooking oil from restaurants, filter it, and then use it for fuel.

Re: Gas Mileage for 98 4Runner SR5 V6
The trouble with using WVO (used) is that you have to watch for fats in the oil, I know of at least one gummed up truck through it - ideally you should treat it to remove fats and glycerine.
Alot of the restaurants over here are tied into commercial oil collectors due to regulationsabout it's disposal  Trev

Re: Gas Mileage for 98 4Runner SR5 V6
I have replaced all my transmission fluid with Mobil 1 ATF and I have increased my gas mileage by 1.5-2 mpg. Used a total of 14 quarts with some spillage.
Note that the FSM says that the drain and fill capacity is 2.1 quarts. I found mine was a lot more than that. More like 4 quarts. Be careful. I currently drive 75% highway and 25% city and get around 19-20 mpg. Another change is long ago, I removed my trailor hitch (40 lbs or so...).
