Can anybody verify this?

 

I'm sure it is the preferred oil in all major race cars???

 

The video kindda prove it fact?

 

Just amazing ..............

 

they blew it by not testing the same viscosity oils. The Eneos is 0w-50. The other oils tested were 5w-30.

You say it wouldn't matter? Maybe not, but it was easy to test the exact same viscosities against each other and remove all doubt.... but they chose not to.



Guy sounds like the type that sells Shamwow products.

 

I agree, I was wondering the same thing. Too many variables.

 

I ran and I liked it kept real good viscosity and looked great the day I did the change - but have no proof it made more HP!

But I did pull a 10.3 @ 135 MPH on the 1/4 with it

Thanks,Matt

 

I am very skeptical and would like to test it myself but dyno pulls are not cheap. I've only been able to check one product that most will say doesn't do what it says it will do. The product is pro long oil additive and I did a semi scientific experiment. I had an 18 ft deep V boat that would always do 42mph across lake Mead on a calm day. I used to go out every weekend and it would always do 42mph. I used the pro long in the motor (4cyl inboard) and the outdrive. It made 44mph after that and that was as testable as I could get.

If I had my boat I would give this oil a test.

 

One thing ALL the different manufacturers either don't know,,,,or just fail to mention is that STOCK computers on these cars start to "learn" how you are driving,,,and start adjusting/tuning to how you are driving!!! Being street driven all the time,,our cars are in a slight state of detune. A couple years ago Valvoline used my car in a chassis dyno display at the Midwest Nationals at St.Louis. They did 3 initial pulls,,and every hour there after did 2 pulls for a total of 13 pulls.My car a stock 00 FRC with a Blackwing and stock exhaust with Corsa touring mufflers only!! Pull #1,,,323.51horse-324.76tq...pull#13-- 338.92horse and345.91tq!! In 13 pulls it gained,,temporarily,, 15.41 horses and 21.15 torque!! I went to test and tune that Tuesday and finished the night with a 13.08/110.24 on stock Goodyears. IF you are going to redline it with WOT all the time,,,you will eventually reach the peak parameters in the computer and have an enhanced tune for the duration!! As soon as you start street driving,,,it will start backing down the "tune"!! SO,,,yes it MIGHT have picked up a few horses,,,BUT SOME of them were just gained from consecutive WOT dyno pulls!! Figure 4 to 5 of the ponies were from the computer adjustments to air fuel,,,leaving 3-4 from the oil at best!! For the record,,my numbers were SAE adjusted on a Dyno Jet Dyno on 5/2/08.

 

WOW! I wanna know more. I'm due for a change, where can u buy it?

Good point "itzza427". Maybe if they'd tested the Eneso oil first the test would have backfired on them.

 

Gotta say I agree with Mike Mercury - sound like a shamwow commercial.

If this is the case do we "also get" a second quart absolutely "free", just pay shipping & handling

 

You buy oil to protect the engine of your investment not to make HP or any of those snake oil promises. The ability to make the hp is with in your engine, good oil lets it happen.

 

it's no secret that a lower viscosity oil can increase HP - minutely.

And it's magnified beyond real-life useage on inertia dynos. On load bearing dynos... the increase is below the instruments repeatability margin.

Imagine this business meeting:

Engineer: "We've mixed a new oil gobulation that shows HP/TQ increases on an inertia dyno"

company owner: "so what? Every one knows that false increases in dyno numbers can be had by going to a lower viscosity oil. It will make no improvement out on the street."

marketing guy: "but that's fine; ricers will be the primary customers... and they can't drive worth a sheet anyways. Dyno's rule their world"

sales manager: "and we'll require our dealers to place this product on the shelf - inbetween the electric leaf blower turbo kits... and the Performance Hood Seals.

Company Owner: "Brilliant; start production immediately!!!

----------------

just wait, ricers will include the oil in their "list of mods"

 

Well, not to nit pick, but no it doesnt MAKE horsepower.

The oil, in theory, reduces friction which allows more of the power to flow to the drivetrain.

 

Screw the expensive stuff, Supertech from Wal-Mart added 40HP to my car!!!!!!

 

Maybe a high grade of water. Once it evaporates there will be much less resistance.

 

LMAO I believe they include a free PENEOS enlarger with each oil change.

 

But, now you're just being silly

 

Would have been a lot closer for sure!!
