Thoughts on ENEOS 0w20 *not sustina*

[gregk24]

I can get a gallon of this oil on Amazon for $20, mind you this is NOT the Sustina 0w20, just regular Eneos 0w20. What are your thoughts on this oil? How does it compare to the Sustina 0w20. Are there any specs available. I see alot about the Sustina but not much about the regular Eneos. Thank you!

**EDIT-Just remembered I have a 4.4 quart sump, this is only 4 quarts.

If you're short a bit, I noticed NAPA autoparts store carries Eneos, or can order it for you if needed, 1 quart at a time.

i've been meaning to ask you, how do you get your awesome Amazon deals?? Last time I read one of your posts regarding something you can get on Amazon, I checked and I'm nowhere near getting those prices.

I was curious one day and made a small table of 0W20/5W20 oils and compared the viscosities at 40C and 100C based on the data I could find and the Eneos was had a pretty decent VI of 179. The 40C viscosity is around 42, pretty good for off the shelf oils, but not quite that of the Sustina or tgmo, mgmo, hgmo. I made this table back during the polar vortex, so I was very interested in the flow at super cold temps. I don't know anything about the comparison of the additives used.

I think for that price of 4 quarts, I would get a jug of something like Pennzoil Platinum or Quaker State Ultimate Durability at walmart with the FRN rewards.

No problem, I have the Amazon Prime membership for this month..which means FREE two day shipping on eligible items. On top of now paying for shipping I have rewards points with one of my CC companies which translates into about $12 to spend on Amazon. That's how.

I just checked out Amazon and found this oil for $30 a gallon (with free shipping if I spend a few dollars more). Not a bad price for a 'specialty' oil but the gallon jug (as opposed to a 5 qt. jug) is a deal killer for me since both of my 5w20 vehicles take 4.5 quarts. I'm not going to pay $12 a quart for that extra quart....

If you bought a gallon of this oil what syn. would you use to make up the .5 quart.
What readily available syn. is similar in formula?

There is a ENOS 5w30 VOA on pqia website, I don't think it' s sustina. Looks like common add pack good amount of molybdenum & calcium with boron. TBN 8.5 NOACK 10.8 probably could mix 0.5 qt with lots of stuff no problem
