Eneos or Royal Purple?

Hi guys.

I'm looking at Forged's offer for the Eneos Syn oil (5W30), but I currently have 12 quarts of Royal Purple (Just bought them), I would like your honest opinion on which one is better, my pal wants me to sell him some quarts, I just need to decide which one to keep.

What's your opinion/experience?

Thanks in advance.

I'm going to run Eneos when I make my next oil change... Have heard mixed opinions about Royal Purple, but I personally have never used them. Have heard nothing but good things about Eneos thus far...

So ENEOS > Royal Purple in my books..

Yeah from everything I have heard the Royal Purple is overrated. I say go Ester oil anyway.

I'm currently running Enos. I've never used Royal Purple, but I've used Mobile 1 before, and I like Enos better.

they are all the same... i dont know how people "notice differences" Ive used mobil1 fully synthetic, castrol, royal purple, redline...honestly there is no difference. As long as its fully synthetic you should be ok. Now id ont know about this new oil for the VVEL and such but all my motors have had full synthetic in them.

I don't know which of those two is better, however, I know that when I switched from Mobile 1 to Royal Purple, I have not burned one drop of oil.

As well, this was an ok read, I haven't seen this mag before, but I've seen this same test done in person before.

^Can you tell me what do they say, at least a summary, why None of them?, I'm not registered there, so I can't make searches.

Well, I just discovered something. When I went to Forged website, I noticed that the 5W30 just say synthetic, but all the others have the Fully Synthetic label, does this mean that this isn't Fully Synthetic?, No wonder is cheaper.

BTW, I just checked the Royal Purple ones and they say the same, just Synthetic, the same?

I have been running Royal purple and it works fine for me. I have never tried Eneos, I wouldn't mind trying it out, but I have not found a place on Guam that sells it.

I'm really confused, a simple Google search brought me basically all results telling me that Eneos 5W30 is fully synthetic, except some of them were it say that it's semi-synthetic. Which one is it?

Google Search
