Rating 5.0

I have used Eneos 5w30 in it since I bought it. This is a group 5 oil and I believe that it saved my ass. Last summer going to work my car blew the top radiator hose off. I was about 3 miles from work and so I decided to just drive it. The temp gauge was pegged all the way. Come to find out my radiator inlet broke since it was plastic. I was able to get the hose back on after work and filled it up with coolant. Replaced the radiator with an aluminum CSF two row and knock on wood everything has been good since. Not losing water or oil and no smoke coming out the tailpipe or anything.

Pros: engine protection, no oil/water loss after overheating
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 95000 km

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

This one was done at the local VW dealership where they added 6L of VW oil and were nice enough to collect a sample of the oil for me to send off to Blackstone. The oil in this sample had higher quantities of wear metals present vs the 3rd sample, but that is to be expected as there were more than twice as many miles on the oil.

Pros: stellar report at 12,228
Cons: higher wear metals
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 12228 km

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

Varies too widely, my trans am takes conventional oil and inexpensive filter and is an easy job, while a Porsche 911 requires removal of the oil pan and expensive oil, while my emission cheating Jetta only can use $10/qt special oil. Can be from $40-400.

Pros: inexpensive filter
Cons: expensive oil
