Engine and Transmission Oil

What do you guys think of Enoes Oil? I see alot of people running Amsoil and just wanted to see some opinions on Enoes Oils. I use the Eneos engine oil in my X and it works great!!
I saw a youtube video of an X using Eneos oil and they gained some good horsepower Would also like to know if it was safe to run their manual transmission oil in my car?

What do you guys think?

don't know about it... AMSoil has a lot of proof that they are the best, which is why I bought it and will continue to do so.

AMSOIL is the best stuff out there, and unlike mobil 1 and many of the other main brands, they publish their test results to prove it. They have nothing to hide and stand proudly behind their products, and that's why I use them. I currently am running the Racing Dominator (RD) 10W30 and am very happy. I refuse to run anything else and would highly recommend that you give it a try.

Oh and I forgot to mention that the new TSB says to only use Mobil 1 oil. Would that actually void warranty if u didn't?

Just because a team is sponsored by someone like that doesn't mean they use it.

At least that is how it is in the MX industry.

Does the AMSoil transmission fluid work in the SST?

Really? That creates a potentially-embarrassing situation for a sponsor. I would think it would be extremely damaging to find out that, for example, a Castrol-sponsored car actually used Mobil 1. "Our product is so bad, we can't even get the paid promoters to use it!"

I've had pretty good results switching to Mobil 1 Extended Performance. From what I can tell it's a step up from the regular Mobil 1, while still being readily-available and cost-effective for frequent changes. That's subjective from oil condition at my last change, though, as I skipped the oil analysis this time.

Yah I've always used Mobil 1 in my engines and will continue to do so. Transmission, I'm not too sure. I tried redline in my Evo VIII And wasn't very happy with it either time I used it. I used royal purple and it sucked *****. I was going to switch to AMSoil before I sold it. I'll probably go with Mobil 1 and OEM for my X though.

I'll post up info from Blackstone labs, at my 10000 mile mark on Mobile 1 5w-30 EP. Still have about 500 miles left before sending it out. I change my oil every 5000 miles. I am interested to see the results.

that the entire point of sposorship is to get you to think the way you are thinking right now.

call and talk to fyntune performance a very reputable shop in Miami area, ask him about his experience with Eneos, when they went by his shop offering him some oil retail acount, fyntune told them lets put this oil on my shop car and throw it on the dyno at first the salesman did not want to finally they did, lost 10 horses right off the back.

now we owe that account the shop and all customers are super happy, good products speak for themselves and dont need big fancy advertisment, why because if you product works word of mouth is your best marketing, when you advetise you get an upfront artificial buisiness if customers dont like it you will loose grounds.

just my 4 cents

Is Amsoil 5w30 oil API Licensed?

I won't use any oil in my engine unless it's API licensed.

Until then I'll stick with Mobil 1.
