I observed a moderate mileage increase moving from GTX (fossil) to Mobil 1 about 10 years ago, then a bit more when I later moved to Royal Purple, at which time the oil temp also decreased 10°F. Subjectively, as embarassing as it is to admit it, I really did "feel the difference" (RP's promotional catch phrase) in the transition.
Basically, I think when you go from a fossil oil to a high-quality synthetic you'll see better mileage, lower oil temperatures, and might feel a difference as well.
What is this "Maxlife" product? Full synthetic?
