I found it on eBay, in Henderson, Nevada for just over $11 with shipping for the 0w50. There is says is full synthetic, a group V. This oil is benginning to sound interesting.

Looks like the 5w30 is a synthetic blend on the amazon site.
Not for nothing, but the photos on the website refer to 0w20, 5w20 as fully synthetic, but 5w30 is just synthetic.

Why is it advertised as a synthetic blend? Synthetic blend would suggest conventional oil mixed with synthetic? Any ideas how it would work in the 3.5 VQDE G35 engine?
Also, in an earlier post you said the 0w50 and 5w-20 etc. are a mix of PAO and Ester (mix of group IV and group V), now you are saying that the 5w30 is the only one not 100% group V?
Mistake, Sorry Group3 80 and Group4 20
Ive been working, a booth all weekend long, All i do is talk oil all day!! My brain gets so fried trying to educate people about oil. I don't know how i do it?
What really bugs me the most is the guys sponsored by Valvoline who pour out that #@$%! and fill Valveoline bottles with ENEOS, Just so they can stay competitive in NHRA, against the ENEOS teams!! And they take a place, only to thank Valvoline for the support and excellent product that allowed them to win at the award ceremony.

I just read all of the posts and I'm still confused.
So the blend is the 5W30 and it's 80% Group III and 20% Group IV?
As was mentioned above, if it's a blend most people do not think of a synthetic blend as a blend of different types of synthetics. They think a blend of conventional oil and synthetic. If the 5W30 is Group III and IV, ENEOS should call that a "Synthetic" and the Group IV/V oils "Full Synthetic". A few companies do that, IIRC.
Maybe you should list each weight in one post and list what Group it is.

Buster, "honor and quality......" Yes, five years ago, despite earning my living with a domestic make service operation, I switched to a Toyota Highlander after seventeen months of angst with a Lincoln LS. I intend to keep the Highlander another five years. Because it will go the distance, and because its inward parts speak volumes about the care that went into its design and manufacture.
I'm not close enough to the design and manufacturing phases of domestic vehicle production to form a hard opinion, but the factory field reps seem to go through their careers with their eyes fixed firmly on the next rung of the ladder, all the while spouting the current company mantra. Honor and quality are lost concepts, it seems to me. Let's hope that our collective experience with Eneos reflects the higher qualities of the culture from which it springs.

The 5-30 is considered a break-in oil. It is very similar to the oil we ship to the oems for engine break-in. Its The oil your new car has in it from the factory. It allows the rings to do what they need to do.
On line yellow pages have no listing for GSR Distributing. Do you ship product out of Henderson, or is this a sales outlet for drop ship?

Sure are a lot of rules getting broken here. Are any of the oils 100% grp V and why? You earlier said a blend of IV and V was better than either.
How do you know that Valvoline racing is using your oil? That's quite a claim for some one that's not keeping the info strait and at the same time trying to educate people about oil.
Too mant sales pitches for a non-sponsor in a discussion forum.

Actully i shouldn't mention stuff like that. But it happens all of the time. I hate when politics enters racing, Its pretty sorry when a company has to pay a team for them to advertise there products and they dont even use them. Its the nascar mentality - Nascar is only a Money machine, Nothing the sport does enhances technology in the cars we drive on the street. Its just a Money Machine.
And We are a Sposoring member - It just hasn't been updated yet.
I was asking to just to verify what he is saying.
Got Speed Racing does come up on the yellow pages. The address given is about 2 miles from my house and I drive past there all the time. Never noticed it before...but was not looking, either. What are your hours of operation for walk ins?

The US Spec ENEOS is the Best Nippon Has to offer, Different from Euro Spec blends.
I will also have application charts as well as the specs for the gear lube, and the CV Grease, The process is tedious and there is one person incharge of translating the documents from japanese to english. Everything has to be checked and rechecked and documents and pics all need to meet Nippon's standards.

Nippon is a little different.
They don't try to overload the customers with tech jargon that 99% confusing like RL,AMS,RP. The end user has no use with this information, nor do they even know what the Specs they are comparing mean. They also dont use Gimmiky things like the Timken tester, or demos like the duralube challenge or eggbeaters.

Mobil 1 was the most expensive oil I saw in Kiev. Castrol was expensive and Shell was up there too. I lost some luggage that had a quart of $6 a liter LUK 5w30 Syn-Blend in it. I was going to VOA to see what it might be. LUK oil is not well thought of in Ukraine, correct? What are the prefered brands for the average guy over there that can't afford top tier oil?
