Will's engine modification system called OVER7 increases fuel economy by over 7 percent, while decreasing emissions by 30 percent and engine wear by 96 percent.

...

OVER7 works by increasing the heat of the oil used in the engine, up from about 200°F to between 250° and 300° in an engine utilizing OVER7, which allows the oil to flow easier. This means that the engine works less hard and uses less gas, allowing for greater fuel economy.
Haven't read about it yet, but seems like a good idea. My car already has a waterjacket in the header to decrease warmup time, oil seems the next logical step.
