front and rear flaps

I´m thinking about installing flaps on front and back wheelarches. Not those ridiculously large/regular mudflas, but distinghuished small ones.

Re: engine oil, whats ya poison ?

Recently put in 5W-30 Mobil1.

Engine revs up better, starting in both winter and spring conditions smoother.
Also less noise from the engine at higher speeds, esp. around 60 mph.

Fuel economy improved about 10% to approx. 6 miles/liter on LPG.

But oh-boy is this stuff expensive.
