ENEOS Motor Oil?

[Moe]

Has anyone ever tried out ENEOS motor oil? Supposedly its great and I just wanted to know if anyone has tried it and believed it was worth it. If it is then I plan to try it out.

I have not heard of it but just googled it.  Incredibly expensive stuff. The only way to check it its performance is to run it about 5000 miles and have a used oil analysis done. If it's determined that it is good for 15,000 miles then it may be worth the expense.

Where did you originally here about it? Try it out and see if it's any more beneficial than the norms and let us know.

That's some pretty good advice.  It may be pretty good stuff, but if you're paying through the nose and it's longevity isn't that hot, you may as well stick with someone else that's not as expensive and can provide you with the same performance.

I heard about it from a friend that went to a shop (Murray's Speed & Custom) here in Miami and they recommended the oil.

I found the official site for them ( http://www.eneos.us/index.php ) , for some reason it doesn't come up when I google it. It's "the #1 oil in Japan" and it is used by the Honda F1 team so it must be some good, no?

I believe it said they were a sponser of the F1 team. That doesn't mean that the engine has that oil in it.

Directly from their site:

"Our partnership with the Honda Racing F1 Team has proven to be very beneficial to both parties and we are pleased to be continuing this association into 2008. Our close working relationship contributes to the evolution and development of our lubricants technology through the supply of engine and gearbox oil to the team. We seek to continue these synergies by using the involvement in Formula One, the pinnacle of global motor sports, to assist our future research and development."

You are indeed correct.

[Moe]

I guess I'll give it a try on my next oil change and tell you guys my experience with it.

Are you going to have an oil analysis done around 5K?

[Moe]

Maybe I will if I have a chance because my time will be occupied by a new project.
