So my Car's gonna' be coming up on 3k Miles soon, and I've been doing a little bit of Research on Changing out the Fluids, both Oil and ATF.
I've always Used Royal Purple in my 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS, and it never Failed me, but I've been Reading a lot into ENEOS and I think I wanna' try it out.
I Plan on going Turbo next year, with a S1 Kit from Dezod, and I'll be Switching to a Fully Synthetic ATF also, to prevent Slippage as much as I can.
I'm gonna' Order a TRD High Performance Oil Filter (figure I'd give it a Try), ENEOS 5W-20 Motor Oil, what about their 0W-20? Anyone Recommend that?, and ENEOS ATF.
The only thing I'm a bit Curious about is, "*The Zero Crown and Celsio require special tools to replace the ATF. Those tools are presently unavailable, so do not change the ATF of such vehicles.", yet KINGxOFxSKA used it with no problem on his Automatic tC.
The point of this Post is to make sure this is all OK, and also just to hear some of your thoughts on ENEOS and any of their Products.
Thanks a lot Guys.

 

I would like to bump this for imput as im curious of such things as well...

 

07+ models automatic transmission fluid is TYPE-WS, but changing it won't make it it stop the slippage for when you go turbo, you will have to buy a transmission cooler and add another bottle or maybe less depending on big the cooler is as well as the hoses in length. the TRD oil filter is the same as a K&N oil filter and as far as oil goes both are good, you won't need to change your oil every 3k miles because now you can go up to 4k without any issues. btw if you plan on going turbo just know that you can't push more than 240whp without slippage on the tranny unless you build it.

 

Yeah, I plan on a Valve Body Upgrade around that time, but I'm not looking for Madd Power or anything, just a decent gain.

 

you'll be fine with the tranny fluid/oil it currenty has sinec the car is still brand new, just add a tranny cooler and another bottle of TYPE-WS fluid to fill up the cooler so it won't run like if it had less fluid.

 

This UOA (yes, I know it is a different engine) shows that Eneos oil is not very impressive (at least for the price and OCIs most run).
If you look at the BITOG forum, you can see how various UOAs look after some time in the tC. I don’t have time to look for 'em now, but I know they are on there. I do know through a member of this site that UOAs showed the best performing oil (out of 3 he tested) in the tC was PP 0w series, but that was in a non-turbo motor IIRC.

The ONLY way to measure an oils performance is through UOAs - everything else is just opinion. Don’t be a victim of marketing - look at the UOAs.

 

Another UOA on Eneos and another engine. To be honest, I have seen better numbers with dino:
