Guys:

My review: Eneos 0w-50

went for a full engine flush (Shell flushing oil), prior to the oil change, also changed the oil filter, and topped up with Lubeguard engine protectant.

and the results?

Ummmm....... slightly more responsiveness from the engine, it feels as if it wants to go forward (but with fresh engine oil change, most engines feel that way)

Not much difference in fuel consumption (previously using 10w-50)

...... other than that , not much difference. except for the price, of course :) bloody expensive.


however, one thing i noticed, in low rpm range of gear 1 (even with my clutch control), the revs do tend to dip below 1,000, therefore increasing the risk of mati engine. happened once already in the past 3 days.

anything else i should look out for? cause with this kind of price difference, i am kinda expecting better.

i don't think u feel much of the diff as the viscosity on the new oil n ur
previous r the same.

weird thing bout honda's, seems like honda engines thrive on 30w oils both on cars and bikes. If even use a 40w oil, it wud be noticably heavier on the power. Hmmm........well, its true for bikes, i dun reli know bout cars aktuali, hahahahaaa
