Eneos vs Amsoil
Im currently running Eneos 0w-50 in my bpu evo and im looking to try something different ive been looking at the Amsoil 0w-30 signature series oil and am thinking about trying that next. Just looking to get some opinions from everybody to see what you think of either one and which one you liked better if you have used it. thanks in advance.

I had an oil analysis done on my Eneos oil through Blackstone Labs, but I don't remember how to convert a .PDF to an image so that I can upload the results. I also did TBN test to see if the oil looses viscosity quickly as some has suggested.
Any tips would be helpful...thanks.

I ran the Mobil1 10w30, ran the Redline 10w30 and now i am running the AMSOIL Sig series 0W30...
I am sticking with AMSOIL, The car idles better, revs faster, comes into temp faster, the engine is more quite...

For you guys saying the eneos oil is "the best", please give us some details as to why it is the best.
I am currently running the amsoil 0w-30, it definately revs faster, but I did notice it was burning a little bit. Could be just my eyes, so I will have to check again as I was kinda surprised.

Bump, my oil analysis said that everything was fine with the oil but they found 2.3% fuel in the oil. The highest range on their scale is 2%, so they say it's a little high. The TBN number was 4, which is a bit low but not too much...they suggest the cause of the lower than normal TBN may be associated with the higher than normal percentage of fuel found in the oil.
I'm going to do another oil analysis next time I change the oil since this will be only the second time I'm running Eneos. Before that I ran stock Mobil for three oil changes, then Royal Purple for two oil changes, and now Eneos.
Apparently, the oil does not loose it's effectiveness after 1000 or so miles as some have suggested.

I always thought turbocharged applications experience greater fuel saturation than their NA counterparts. I don't know the conditions of your vehicle or mileage at which you drained, but given your percentage was "off the charts" I wonder how much of a risk that is. What is a TBN number?

most oil testing companies use the term tbn (total base number) usually used in referance to the retention of the detergents to keep your engine clean and the antioxidant numbers to stop corrosion inside the engine. Most oil testing labs will give you a full break down with everying that your oild contained including what types of metals found and what chemicals and why those metals or chemicals are there.

ENEOS 0-50w is good stuff.
I have yet to try it, but planning to try it this year.
I've been running Royal Purple, haven't had any issues.
Here's a vid of the ENEOS oil testing... the silver bottle looks like Mobile 1...

TBN is the amount of active ingredients currently in the oil, as the oil goes through it cycles, heat, fuel saturation, ect.. it loses the active ingredients, making the oil less effective.
Fuel saturation plays a huge part in oil effectiveness, if the oil can not off gas the fuel then the flash point of the oil goes down, as it goes down, the fuel burns easier. This is where you'll here some people complain about burning oil. because it is burning actually It usually follows with a higher than normal fule smell in the oil.
