Re: ENEOS oil: power adder or snake oil?

Put it this way; I did a basic comparison with two oils in my GTP. First I ran Castrol Syntec with a WIX filter; and what I did was just set the factory reset to 100% and then took note of the miles, it went 5400 miles before it went to 0% and needed to be changed. I also reset the mileage averaging system at the same time; over the coarse of 5400 miles it got 23.3mpg.

Then I chaned the oil; used a new WIX filter but this time I used Amsoil Synthetic, the car went 7100 miles before it hit 0% and got 24.7mpg on the average. My driving styles didn't change either; I still beat the shit out of the car like I always do.

I am sure in both tests I could have went further with the oil but I just change it anyway. But I will note that neither oil showed much sign of break down when I changed it. And it was still at the exact full line when I changed it both times. So from the looks of it they were the same, but the numbers showed different in my case.
