Eneos is the #1 oil in Japan. They started exporting to the USA last year. We havent done any Blackstone tests on the oil yet, but the feedback we have seen is very good. It also comes in more varieties than Motul, and several different viscosities and price points. For the extreme use engines, with forced induction, their 0-50 weight oil looks very promising.

The 5/40 Eneos that I would use in your car, is a tad more expensive than Motul 8100. If you want to give it a shot, and maybe we can send your oil off to Blackstone....let me know.

Does Eneos or Motul have a filter line as well?
