I've been running Motul 600V...no problems....I hear Royal purple is good stuff...so is Eneos....but it all depends on how you drive......regular oil is for regular people with regular driving habits......spend the money if you pound on it everyday

Nobody seem to know exactly if the Eneos 5W30 is fully synthetic or not, I have looked around making dozens of searches and everything is confusing.

I tried contact them directly but couldn;t reach them, I sent them an e-mail, let's see if they respond or not.

Again, do you know about this?, it's funny that all other grades clearly shows in th elable the "Fully Synthetic" phrase but the one that I need just say "Synthetic". I may be wrong but if it's a blend (Semi-Synthetic) they must show it in the label.

My next oil change I'll be using Motul. Scarab Performance in the DFW area carries it and his prices are very reasonable.

5w30 is NOT fully synthetic. I talked with an ENEOS rep at D1GP last year...
Did anyone see the youtube video? They tested their oil (probably 0w50) against Royal Purple on 350z.
