We should do a motor oil test on a car sometime when Andy is in town. Just so all the speculation on everyone's part is gone. I'd really like to see for myself to ensure that what I preach is the truth! Bring a 5 quarts of regular oil, Mobil 1, ENEOS and just see?!? That would give some HP numbers, but we would have to really run the oil for awhile to see lasting effects.

The only problem would be repeating the same run with the same variables for each oil. Like keeping Air temp, intake temp, and water temp....... the same.

If a test was to be done, a stock car would be the best place to try and compair numbers. It has less variables that effect the performance.

Until it loses suspension and clogs your filter and oil passages.

Oh wait, I don't have a turbo.

Move along now.

I agree that it is a very good oil, and anyone that was big into bikes and quads knows Nippon is a very reputable name. But there is no way in hell i would pay $10 a quart for a engine that takes 6 quarts of oil. On a bike, sure, its only 1 quart or so.
Also, you guys that are using royal purple, that is one of the WORST oils i have ever encountered. You should see the nasty purple sludge that shit leaves in your motor. Especially in turbo cars, it ruins turbos, plugs up everything, and is generally just shit, quit using it. And no, these werent isolated incidents, it was happening to alot of people on the boards.

Wow, really? My buddies turbo daytona locked his turbo up and he was using royal purple. Any support for this you can show me?

What bikes are you running that take 1 quart of oil? I know my 50 takes 1 quart, but my sportbikes take 4. Also, ENEOS is no good for wet clutch vehicles, so, no to 90% of sportbikes.

The forum listed with the Royal Purple incidents is interesting. We at the shop have used it for over 5 years with no issues and we all were previously Mobil 1 users. There are a few factors that can contribute to 'sludge' build up, and I am not sold on RP being the sole factor. The day I see one of our shop cars, or customers cars with this build up and can prove that the RP is the issue, that will be the day it is pulled from our shelf!

As far as ENEOS goes, well I simply don't have any reason to believe it isn't the best of the best. I know it certainly outperforms RP, Mobil 1, etc...

MOLY FTW........

The local sales guy is a big circle track guy and brought some mains from a 4 season old engine...... another you would have to see to believe

Wow that is very interesting information. I'd like to learn more about it... I tried searching on google but didn't find anything other than those that didn't like it for personal reasons....nobody had any pictures to show carnage or sludge build up.

lolz...

Most oils get dirty at 1000 miles. That's the oil doing part of it's job... cleaning. An engine functions as a detergent along with a lubrication. Just because it looks dirty doesn't mean that it's unsafe to use or that it stops protecting. That's one of the biggest misconceptions about oil.

So Parker, are you changing it every 1000 miles if it gets dark?

What he said ^^ The only time you "need" to change your oil early is during the initial break in period. I personally like to change my oil 2x by 1000 miles...then every 8500 after that.

i would really consider running this in my car..... but i have to change my oil as soon as it gets dirty.... so i would rather dump $20 in a pan rather than $90 every 300-500 miles

Yeah I looked around on the internet and this stuff is like $10 a quart, which is a few dollars more than Royal Purple.

Royal Purple doesn't hold a candle to Eneos.

For comparison sake, here are some charts on other oils...unfortunately Eneos is not on that list as they are still new to the US market.
