Eneos Oil. Anyone have the tests to show?

[CARMandP]

I was doing the search on this site and couldn't find the place that showed if anyone had actually tested their oil. It was talked about. Was this done and can anyone show me the link for the comparison?

Thanks,

Craig

no one?

Test in what way?

 

[CARMandP]

Oil quality, shear, things like that.

Can't say for fact, but heard it's group III based oil. Can anyone confirm this?

I've heard the same, grp III. Very overpriced oil IMO.

They're not all Group III. The difference depends what it says on the bottle. The Group III's state "Synthetic" and the Group IV's state "Fully Synthetic".

Correct. At the very least the 5w40 and 0w50 weights are a Group IV/V blend. The shop I work for has been using it for some time in all our customer's cars and everyone has been very pleased. Almost everyone comments that their engines run notably quieter with Eneos compared to whatever they were running before. I haven't personally run a UOA, but I'll get around to it sooner or later.

I could show you RP supposedly makes more power on a dyno then the leading synthetic too..

Interesting video clip. 8hp gain from changing oil to Eneos. I wonder if that would also increase fuel economy noticeably.

 

[OVERKILL]

8HP is still within the margin of error between dyno runs. Not something I'd be betting the farm on....

 

[jdhog]

Yes, I agree, maybe the guy in the driving seat had worn some rubber off his shoes in between dyno runs and was able to press the pedal a bit more.....LoL

IIRC, there's a UOA on NASIOC.com you could look at if you'd like. It's in the Service & Maintenance section. Not very impressive, but not disastrous.
