So is it pretty common to have the oil have a gasoline smell to in the IX's. I run the 10w-30 amsoil and after about 1500miles it does smell like gas a bit. Doesn't seem to be really burning though.

I'm actually going to be trying this oil this coming monday. I used Amsoil for 28K miles on my last car, and I'm a pretty die hard fan of how well it ran, so time to try this new stuff.

I really don't know anything about the Eneos. The amsoil 0w-30 Sign. Series is one of the best oils out there and has been tested as so against many name brands esspecially Royal Purple, Mobil, and Red Line. I am a Amsoil dealer but unless you can prove to me that it is better i won't believe you. Other oils claim to be but the only true synthetic that i know of 100% synthetic is Amsoil. I have ran it in my 700+ WTRQ 68 camaro for 30k and bearings look like new. I am not saying that Eneos isn't a 100% synthetic product but you have to prove it works as good as the label says....jusy my opinion.....

Most turbocharged vehicles have fuel saturated oil. Some oils control it better than others.

Yes i did watch the vid.....doesn't say much of anything.....Amsoil isn't the leading selling synthetic.....plus they said 10w40 if my memory serves me right....amsoil TOP synthetic is their 0W30 Sig Series. Seems to me that they didn't use Amsoil against the Eneos. For some reason they didn't say who it was or I just didn't catch that part.... Anyways I want to see Dyno with Amsoil vs Eneos plus data analysis on the Enoes product.....Seems like a decent product but still no proof on how good it is on your engine.....

+1. I'd want to see a comparison that includes oil analysis data and does not hide the name of the other oils in the test.

So since the Evo saturates the oil more with gas should it be changed more. I run 10w-30 ATM amsoil btw. Also wondering if maybe a better oil filter would help. Starting to have my doubts running the OEM one. Anybody ever test the OEM filter vs WIX?
