That is odd...he seemed to jump from "weight" to "w".
So why Castrol and not M1? It would be more real if they did a "boutique" to "boutique" comparison.
And certainly better if they did it double blind (oil pourer and dyno/engine operator), repeated in different order, etc.
But hey they prefilled the filter!

Yeah you might be right.....
Black bottle....hmmmm....Pennzoil!
JUST KIDDING (guys it's not yellow...I know....)

looks like nice oil. probably expensive though. anywhere to buy it?
Probably M1 5w-40. 11hp increase with Eneos 5w-40. I guess it's possible. I'm usually a huge skeptic of these tests, but you never know.
Many brands claim Hp increases, Royal Purple especially. The only other valid test I've seen comparing oils on the Dyno was done by Joe Gibbs Racing. That test compared RP, M1, Redline and JGR oil in a Busch Nascar engine. Redline often claims hp increases yet with their very high shear stability, produced less hp in their testing.
Supposedly Toyota brand 0w-20 is made by Eneos. I should give it a shot. My car could use a few extra hp.

That video will take too long for my dial up connection.
They have an oil that allows more HP?

The "leading conventional" bottle was black. Wonder what that was?
Oh the leading conventional was probably Castrol Syntec

I remember reading that the Dodge Super Touring car program tested nearly every oil available to them in order to see if there was a horsepower advantage and Valvoline racing oil was the only one that made a performance difference exceeding the percent error of the dynamometer.
This was around 1996, however.

The black bottle conventional looked like Citgo Supergard.
This is a commercial masquerading as a test.
I would like to see them run the test backwards, start with the one they show and reverse the sequence of oils. They HP should go down with each one, no?

It's too bad that lousy marketing gets in the way of a good product.
For the this to be valid, you got to show the other oils. Keeping that a secret makes it a commercial.
