I used almost every known oil out there including Eneos, Mobil 1, Amsoil, Castrol, Royal Purple, Redline, Pennzoil, etc. It was a hard pick between Amsoil, Eneos and Royal Purple. All offered smooth engine performance, all gave good MPG and all protected well. Then, miles went by and the decision was made for me, Amsoil. Royal Purple lost "smoothness" at around 1,200 miles. Eneos at 2,200. Amsoil at 13,000. There is more to my tests but its just too much to write. 2001 Chevy Tahoe 5.3. ;)
Amsoil is indeed the superior oil. the first time you change the oil, it will turn dark quickly, the second time, it will be golden for a ridiculous amount of miles with the detergents holding strong. I am at 13,000 and analysis says I am good for possible 10,000 more.
That was cool and all, but they need to do some real testing. Testing oil on a dyno should consist off at least 6-10 dyno pulls, then getting the average number to see what kind of increase or decrease there was. The next step is to put back a reference or base line oil to make sure the dyno #'s return. Once they return you are ready for your next test oil. Then you will have to repeat the same step with every test oil. The main key is to keep the numbers up pull after pull, over and over again.
To comment on few of the other comments on here. In regards better protectiong - A 50 weight oil is meant for ultimate protection in mind. That is why most racers uses an oil like a 20W-50, which offers a lot of protection. A 0W-50 gives a wider viscosity range, the 0W means excellent cold start protection in addition to the 50 weight protection is offers.
Awesome clip, I just switched from Mobil 1 full syn, to now Eneos 5-40w. I love it in my car (350z 74k mil.) my car rides smooth, and it's great to see that they are impressed with the numbers using ENEOS.
A "leading" synthetic oil....hmmm....why not any brand name? Was it a synthetic "blend" or totally synthetic? The test results would seem to indicate the "leading" oil was a semi-synthetic blend.
Brand was not mentioned due to Power TV's policy on not doing "DIRECT" comparison. It is a fully synthetic oil it was tested against. On the brand that was used... take a wild guess, silver bottle (as seen on the video) and its a "leading" brand in sales.

It has to be a full synthetic, its a silver bottle. No BLENDS come in a silver bottle. I know I sell oil all day.

@SLK350FTW
none of them!
dont use 5w30 for an "old car", just use simple 10w40! for example castrol magnatec, or eneos 10w40, pr motul 10w40

piece it together anyway guys..leading synethic is obviously Mobil 1...
Interesting results but no way am I switching to that from my Amsoil. Amsoil hands down for the best protection and power.

Unless you are racing your car, you should not be looking for extra HP . You should be looking for the best protection.
