> [@Hello](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hello/2854/87): > > We use Eneos in all our JDM cars including our drift Skyline; we’ve used ENEOS on the track and have noticed significant improvement in performance; the oil does not break down as quick as other synthetics we’ve used before… Especially in high heat; track conditions. The oil is 100% synthetic. This oil is used in F1 Honda cars; D1 and drag cars as well as it’s the OEM oil of choice in Japan; so race proven I think so… You cannot compare race cars to our DD. We do not disassemble our blocks after every “weekend warrior” track event, nor can any of us really afford too (some may). If you would like to indulge yourself in some intense reading, then I would recommend having a look over at the UOA thread that david linked. It will dispel most “myths” with regard to personal opinions and Fanboi attitudes towards major manufacturers/brands/labels. It will provide you with the added ammo necessary to make an informed decision, and perhaps aide in providing a more suitable setup for your particular needs. I hope you don’t misinterpret my intentions in this response. My only hope is that, you look over the scientific evidence based off of “real world” usage and use that information to determine what would best suit your setup or needs. > [@Hello](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hello/2854/87): > > In then end there will always be a debate over oils with no clear winner; tests are always biased; use an oil brand that works for you… Don’t even get into the proper grade to use… That’s another hot topic… Actually we are not “debating” which oils work best. We are basing these decisions off of scientific UOA samples, tested at two of the leading facilities in the US. > [@Hardcore Motorsports? or just a myth!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hardcore-motorsports-or-just-a-myth/2868/17): > > F1, D1, Drag. How often do they get their engine’s rebuilt? Pretty much every season. We’re talking about wear protection in the long term. OEM choice in japan? Those japanese don’t even keep their cars for more than 80k kms, big difference from us North American’s here. I want my car to last as LONG as possible. > > Notice of power improvement in performance is usually bad after putting oil. That’s because oil is thinner which frees up power, but offers a lot less protection. Read all about it in the UOA link. ^Agreed +100 ---

Amsoil looks promising, better than mobil1. I’m sure it can hold up if used with a thicker weight… ---

amsoil is not bad. they also have a german car forumla brand. i’ve used it for most of last year. can’t complain. CT has it, but its only one of the amsoil brands. there is a warehouse in mississauga that has everything amsoil, but its out of the way just to get oil. ---

lol, funny $29/Litre. Just found it today… for $8.50 a Litre. Yes it’s the German Castrol, it says “made in germany” on the back. So $29/L is a pure rip off ---
