Play nice
There was a VOA (Virgin Oil Analysis) on it on BobIsTheOilGuy.com, I would search for it and link to it but I have been temporarily banned for mentioning the word "Jesus"

Yea that's what i ment Eneos from Nippon oil. Sorry I was in a rush to get out the door. I had to go install a Fuel Pump in my buddy's wrx and sold him my CF trunk.

Anyways back to the subject and smart butt people can chime out thanks.

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.

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

Did you do a used oil analysis?

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.

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.

A lot of folks say the best synthetics are the ones that use a combination of different synthetic base stocks (e.g. Group IV and V together). Since there are negatives and postives to each, they can be better when blended together.

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?

The difference in ENEOS is that they have a "Synthetic" and a "Fully Synthetic" in their line-up. the Synthetic uses the group III base, but the Fully Synthetic uses the higher side (Not quite sure which, cant remember) and as for Castrol.... i'm not too sure about anyone that competes using that...

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)*

Dyson analysis is the way to go. Unless your a scientist or genius of some sorta. There's no way you can tell what the oil contents are by looks or feel.
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

From the uoa's that have been posted on here, Castrol Syntec 0W30 will more than likely do better in competition than Syntec 5W40 and 10W40. The 0W30 (aka German Castrol) is the only Syntec in N. America that is not Group III. I've seen some very good UOA's where it was used at the track and the strip. I try to stick to facts and not marketing hype or sponsorships.

All Redline is Group V.

hahaha, wow... ok, again, like i stated before, i only remember a small fraction of what the guy told me, and i'm sure there's a sales pitch in there somewhere, but i have said that i like it only simply base on how it feels, not through tests and stuff.

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
