ENEOS oil: power adder or snake oil?

$.99 non-syn FTW!

Check out Chevron Supreme, you can generally get it for $.59/quart after mail-in-rebates and its the 3rd best conventional oil available. The only two ahead of it are Havoline and Motorcraft (made by Havoline).

hey jet was that the syncromesh amsoil that you used? and if so was it the 5w30 or the 70w90?

No way, Fram oil filter FTW :)


Have you ever cut a Fram and Napa oil filter apart and compaired them? We at Napa were not impressed at all with the guts of a Fram.

has anybody tried the lucas oil turbo motor oil?!?!?

Lucas makes an oil substitute / stablizier / thickener. You can get it in synthetic and non synthetic. Synthetic won't void any warranty. Anyways the thickener works really well especially on imports.

I was running AMSoil 10w30 last summer and loved it, but this summer I'm gonna want to try running AMSoil 10w40 with Lucas synthetic oil stablizer.

I personally just run whatever synthetic is on sale the day I'm at the store. Except I never run Mobil 1.

Anyone else notice Walmart has a synthetic SuperTech now a days? I'm tempted to run it for a few thousand and send it in to be analyzed afterwards. Their conventional stuff isn't half bad.

If a good cheap reliable synthetic is what you are looking for, I'd recommend Napa Full Synthetic. Its made by the Ashland company (Same fools that make valvolean).

Yes, but it is 75-90w. Gears were grinding like crazy.

sorry jet 75w90 is what i meant....i just got some in at the shop and was thinking about it, but thanks fo the heads up!!! i was gonna run that in my talon and but i will probably order some gm syncromesh instead!!! also lucas does make their own line of oil!!! you can buy it at pep boys off robert st. in st. paul by the saturn dealership. i was thinking about running it because on the back it said it was specially formulated for turbo, and super charged cars running high stress, and high horsepower engines...but yeah thanks for the heads up jet!!! :)

I switched over to Amsoil; I use it for my cars, snowmobiles, 4 wheeler, snowblower, ect. Their 2 cycle injector oil is some good shit; it never fouls a plug or even blows smoke for that matter. Using they synthetic in my car I could definetly tell the difference on longevity and gas mileage. Hughes you have probably heard of this stuff, since the company is located in Superior Wisconsin. Its not cheap but who cares.

I am a dealer of amsoil and too use it in everything I own and have had nothing but great performance and nice gas mileage as well.

You do realize that adding lucas so called "stablizer" actually makes the oil worse then what you had right out of the bottle proven right? There are such things as too many additives and that is what you are doing is messing up the balance in the amsoil synthetic formula. Thick does not mean better infact the thicker the more resistance and the worse gas mileage. The synthetics make it what it is not the thickness.

I 100% understand what your saying. But I never even added that "stablizer". If I was gonna add it, It would be 4 quarts of amsoil and a half court of the "stablizer".

One quick question, what if you added just conventional lucas stablizer, would that still fuck up the synthetic formula?

Edit - I never go past 3.5k miles on an oil change, amsoil or not.

Well for one, yes it will mess it up. For amsoil you DONT add anything to their oils. They spend alot of money and time researching their formulas to be exactly what they are. You are still messing up the synthetic balance. Do you know the reason you are adding the "lucas" to the amsoil? It is like taking the premix coolaid that you just add to water and adding more sugar to it. They already have the amount in there that it needs and you just added more.

And for changing all oils after 3500 miles, you can beleive what you want but all you are doing is wasting money with changing the amsoil out that soon. You should be getting at least 7500 out of any amsoil if not more. Take advantage of their amsoil analysis testing kit. It tests your motor oil in comparison to a human blood test. REmember you might as well use the amsoil up to at least the minimum lifetime and get your use out of it because amsoil warrantys anything that may go wrong that is directly related to the oil itself.

If you need any more info or products you can pm me I am a dealer of the stuff and can help you out.
