Eneos 0w20 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hayashi · 07-30-2012, 01:14 AM

I don't usually write reviews as I'm way to lazy haha. I just switched out my oil at around 1400 miles or so. While driving here in Hawaii I've been struggling to keep 28.7 MPG avg and there seems to be a power loss in 6th gear while traveling uphill on the highway.

I spent a while looking and trying to decide which oil I was going to use for the first oil change. I usually go with Mobil 1, but I've was reading a lot of issues with Mobile 1 and boxer engines so I looked elsewhere and found this Japanese oil that is cheaper then most of the other options and seems to perform better. I'm not an oil person but from what I was reading this oil is a very basic synthetic oil with no extras but it seems to work really well, so I decided to give it a try. Didn't hurt that it was cheaper too haha.

All I have to say is from the moment I first turned it on the engine was so much quieter and it seems to accelerate smoother. My first long drive today around Hawaii and I easily hit 29 MPG avg and I didn't feel that power loss in 6 gear while going up H3.

Maybe this is how it is with other oils as well and if it is then I suggest doing an oil change ASAP haha.

I'm going with Eneos motor oil myself when I change my oil.

Napa auto parts? carries them nationwide and it's $8.49 or less a quart.

Yup, picked up 2 gallons at Napa for around $58 bucks. It seems to have gone up in Hawaii or maybe I got it on sale or something. They also had a 10% discount for using their online pickup thing last week.

ENEOS is good stuff. Very popular in the land of Japan.

Definitely can't go wrong with Nippon ENEOS, I know that it is the factory 0W-20 for Toyota engines, not 100% sure for a Subaru made engines though.

I did some looking and it appears that Idemitsu is the factory supplier for Subaru, and my dealership had that oil in stock so I ended up going with that (still high quality, easier to get, same price as ENEOS).

I may try ENEOS next time...I don't think you can go wrong either way though.

For the sake of not making a new thread...

I ordered 6 quarts of Eneos instead of Eneos Sustina under the impression the Sustina was for hybrid motors as mentioned on ft86speedfactory.com. Should I still go ahead and use the regular old Eneos 0W20.

On the plus, it IS fully synthetic (or is it?) and a legitimate ILSAC GF-4. Strangely enough I don't see "Made in Japan" written anywhere on the bottles.

I've performed two oil changes using ENEOS 0W20 and the car seems to like it so I'll continue to use it. Japanese car so must use Japanese oil
