Oil level resistance

Oil level is one place to get fuel savings. More oil means more default resistance to engine.

Basicly engine producer has given accepted max-min level of oils. Basicly producer would accept continuous min level run.

Double saver is oil pressure warning, but it is a good idea check oil level often if you try. Fill a bit more if engine get more noisy.

Using 0W oils and middle oil level I have achieved about 10% savings were achieved when used in city short runs of 6 mi (10 km).

Has anyone else tested oil level effect?
