Yes, RAM intake isn't very helpful for FE from what I've read around here. Many users here would actually recommend adding a warm air intake as opposed to CAI for FE purposes. Warmer air causes the engine mixture to run leaner, which leads to less fuel usage, I believe is the theory behind it.

in my city the temp its about 100-120 F. So i think that in July I will put a 10w40 or 50 synthetic oil.
As long as you're using synthetic, I'd keep it at 10w30 (or whatever the lowest manufacturer recommended is). Synthetic oil is more durable in extreme temperatures than standard oil.
