Over on bitog, there was U.S. rep replying to threads for a while. Although he was getting attacked for posting a lot of untrue claims (first oil this, first oil that). He confirmed that the 5W30 was made of Group III base stocks (like Pennzoil Platinum, Valvoline Synpower).
http://www.eneos.us/web/5w-30.aspx Some of their other oils are made from better base stocks (Group IV and V) but I don't recall which ones. I seem to recall that the 0w20 and 0W50's are IV and/or V. More info here, but I don't feel like reading the whole thread. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums...820025&fpart=1 -Dennis |

I'm currently using ENEOS 0w-50 in the car.... JUST LOVIN IT!!!!
Due to the complex process of removing the diffuser from the voltex kit (yes, i'm just kinda lazy) i went 8000 miles without changing the oil, and it still ran awesome. the oil wasnt all broken down when i drained it, and it was probably the best thing i've tried (I tried mobile 1, royal purple, motul, redline, and AMS oil). Mainly one of the reasons why we are now using ENEOS for all synthetic oil changes for customers |

no i did not... dont have that kind of technology at my store since we're not "motor oil experts". However, after seeing x-amount of cars after many oil changes, i do believe that you can visually see and even feel the difference in the consistancy of the oil after heavy usage.

Click here for Blackstone Labs free test kit.
Want a better report? Try a Dyson Analysis. According to the Eneos rep on the link I posted above their "100% synthetic" oils are PAO/Ester based, so it's good stuff. The 5W40 and 5W30 are Group III. Since there are so few 0W50's, I'm guessing you used a different viscosity on the comparison oils. Not doubting it's good stuff. I just like apple to apple comparisons and oil tests. -Dennis |

i'd actually want to try that out. I spoke to the ENEOS rep at SEMA and he basically explained the whole group 3, group 4 and the full synthetic oil difference. I cant regurgitate all the details he told me, but i do have to say that he has shown me that ENEOS knows what they're doing.

Group III's have come a long way over the years, but I wouldn't pay more than $5.00 a quart for a group III unless it has some group IV in it. Especially when German Castrol is $4.50 a quart when it's on sale. Anyone know how much ENEOS 5W30 and 5W40 go for? -Dennis |

the 5w30 is a "synthetic" that usually goes for about $6-7 bucks a quart. the 5w40 is a "fully synthetic" that usually goes for $8-9 bucks a quart. *Please keep in mind that these pricing is actually quite decent in comparason to AMS oil, Greddy, HKS, Redline, etc... not really comparable to the stuff that you can get at Kregen (Not that they're horrible, but just making sure that the right comparasons are made)* |

Unless there is copper magical fairy dust in your oil.. then you have a problem. For turbo motor i really prefer 10W-40 or even 15W-50 |

as for the 5w40, we have it here in stock, and it's stated as a fully synthetic, not just synthetic. as for the sponsorship punch... well.... I started using ENEOS before the store got the sponsorship, and it was a single event deal too... so sorry, but no real bias opinions here since we do sell all the other products except for the castrol stuff |
