I am thinking about running the Eneos 0w 50 weight oil in my boosted motor. Anyone suggestions or oppinions would be very helpful... thank you

2. Outstanding High-temperature Oxidation Stability and Coking Resistance - Because ENEOS Motor Oil 0W50 is made from a carefully designed blend of 100% synthetic base oils and optimized additives, its high-temperature oxidation stability is vastly superior to motor oils made from mineral base oils. ENEOS Motor Oil 0W50 also has outstanding coking resistance, an essential property for protecting turbo rotors that are operated at high temperatures and speeds.

Sounds like it would be good for boosted cars, just wondering if anyone is running the oil and could share and info on it

i dont know too much about oils but it is my understanding that when using multi weight oils you shouldnt have more than 30 points between. something about having too many silicates that break down easier.

why did you choose 0w50 anyways? is this a race car or just DD. i dont see why you would need much more than normal 5 or 10w30 for normal driving.

There was actually a good thread on the drag forum about oil viscosity the racers use and reccomend....

Ya the car i drive is not really a "daily driver" It makes about 400 whp on the street. I see that norris is running the eneos oil so it must be pretty decent.

I'm using the German-made Liqui Moly Synthoil Race Tech GT1 10W-60 fully synthetic oil.
