He lost trq on both those runs but gained hp. I think its worth a try though I just changed my oil but keep us up to date if the butt dyno tells you any different. You should be able to feel 8wheel

its retarded to run it on a near stock car, 8rwhp is unoticeble on a car that weights anymore then 2500 lbs and makes more then 250hp. Now on teh bike is different story, they make race oil <0 weight, it frees up some HP but its for race aplications only, and if you gain 8rwhp on the bike its def a difference. I usually run Royal Purple in my camaro 20w50 it robs HP but for high HP applications and when oil gets extremly hot(it gets thin) you want to run thicker oil. On a regular bolt on car it really dosent matter, just run recomended weight and you'll be fine.

0w is the weight when it's below 40 degrees. Above that, it is 50 weight... Which is some super thick stuff... I'm pretty sure that if you choose to run this oil, you will not be able to run 5w-30 any longer due to the clearance that 50 weight will need.... Not saying you can run 0w-50, but if you make the switch it's best to keep using it as the clearance will become larger to move the thicker oil.

I remember in Mexico we had a debate on Japanese car forum about Royal Purple. A very good oil in its own right, but one of the local distributors felt strongly enough to try doing a dyno before and after with several cars and claimed to get 4 extra hp. I told people I didn't think that was much of something to write home about and offered to take my cousin's Golf (since it wasn't a AWD dyno for say my RX300) and run the same test with something like Castrol 0W30 (a.k.a. The German Castrol), which is what I currently run in my Rx300.
Still, we didn't have too much of a selection of good synthetics down there, and Royal Purple attracted a decent crowd. In fact, I let him set up a stand at my 1/4 mile track and he got a few takers in the last few months before I left.
I don't doubt Eneos is a good oil either, I may give it a shot the next time I need to change oil in my RX300 (that or Amsoil 0W30).
I think a better view of an oil is a used oil analysis test.

Side note, doesn't oil remove dirt and debris from the engine? Wouldn't it be beneficial no matter how long your oil can last to change it due to contaminants? I am aware synthetics are supposed to reduce dirt, but carbon build up and debris is a byproduct of combustion and can't really be avoided. I'm not saying the oil isn't protecting the metal surfaces, but wouldn't it be better to just change it more often regardless of what oil is used? I am not being harsh with anyone, I am just posing my theory for someone else to tell me theirs. I have a GS430 w/ 134k, I've used conventional 5w-30, and change it every 2500 to 3000 miles, will go over, not a big deal, but I don't like to. I used shell/rotella, with oem filters.
