Default Opinion on Eneos oil

Anyone used Eneos oil in their Z? All I know it is synectic oil, how long do I go before I do a oil change if I use this oil?

I just switched over to this brand from Japan ENEOS I love it. I have been using Mobil 1 full synthetic for the past 4 years (currently 47k miles) on my Z and tried this JDM brand out, they are fairly new in the US, but very popular in Japan or EU.

Anyone else tried this oil out? They say it's one of the purest synthetics out there even compared to Mobil... and it's nice to have JDM oil in your Z. hehe

Mach III in SF promotes this and it's at a reasonable price for car enthusiasts.

what ive heard in the past mobil 1 isnt even a "true synthetic" oil. at first i was using royal purple and burning like a mother ******. switched to eneos 0w50 and havent burned a dropped since. btw i have a 06 rev up as well.
so +1 on the eneos.

..it's oil, by a big name manufacturer - what are you looking to have answered? They all EFFECTIVELY work the same, across brands. Some people will have good results, some won't - simple luck of the draw

just got my UOA back from the Eneos, seems to be a pretty poor oil. I had much better UOAs from Dino oil.
