That's an expensive 7hp to maintain....not sure 7hp is worth all that money...

I tried to search and I couldn't find 10w-30 eneos motor oil...

[ZK]

They went from a 20w50 to a 0w50... the weight difference is probably what made the difference.

its 6.99 a quart on their website for 5w 30

dealers are Mach III, Racing Lab, Dublin Toyota just a few that are local

Pretty impressive!!!

[--anonimuz]

so which one should I get? 5w-30 or 0w-50? I read somewhere in evom.net that 0w-50 pretty much equivalent to 10w-30? is that true..

personally i'm sticking with mobil 1 and a how cheap it is to get at walmart...I know I heard back in the day where changing your oil every 3k can net you 1hp after the oil change, but switching to a different brand and netting 7whp???? lower weight oil for our high revvin engines??? doesnt sound like a good combo to me

Try amsoil...you'll never go back. Everything has been swapped to amsoil in my car. (I am not a vendor, but ask anyone: I still promote the $hit out of this stuff for reasons you wont believe until you try it out)

Here's your 20w-50 with specs on the bottom of the page:

But I warn you. You will never use another brand of oil again.

Some vendors sell amsoil for only a couple dollars more a quart than mobil 1, the filters are what get you. However, with the amsoil you can stretch your oil change intervals to much longer and therefor becomes more cost effective. I wasted my money the other day when I changed my driveline fluids at 10k with some aggressive driving as it was not needed.

Xactly what i was thinking :lol: not a fair test at all. Is 50W supposed to go in the X's seems awefully heavy.

i switched from mobil 1 to castrol syntec, dont see myself going back

Uhhh, you know that castrol syntec synthetic oil is not really a full synthetic right? Their label says that it is but it is really still just a synthetic blend. Mobil 1 has been trying to sue castrol for years for false advertising. You should at least switch back. You don't want to downgrade to a shitty oil when the oem reccomends at least mobil 1 do you?

I use Quaker State Q. Stuff seems pretty good, when I change my oil it doesn't look broken down to water type consistency like Mobil 1

I would not recommend using 20w-50 if you are not going to fully warm up your car.
Which equivalent to ... not so ideal for DD usage.
