I recently obtained access to a wholesale auto parts distributor who offers Eneos and Idemitsu oils at competitive prices. They offer Eneos Synthetic 5w-30 and 0w-20 in the 6 gal wine boxes and Idemitsu Synthetic 0w-20 in the 55 gal drums.
Pricing for Eneos is a hair higher than Mobil 1 EP from Walmart, while pricing for Idemitsu Synthetic is about the same price as Pennzoil conventional from Walmart. I currently buy a significant quantity of oil from WM, and changing to these two brands from this supplier will be beneficial to me from a convenience, waste quantity and supplier relationship standpoint.
I mostly service late model Honda, Toyota and Nissan vehicles. I noticed that Idemitsu 0w-20 does carry the latest gen-2 Dexos certification but I did not see any OEM certifications for the Eneos line. My main concern is that most of the upcoming Honda vehicles are turbo and I'm guessing that HTO-06 will come back into play at some point.
What do you guys think about switching to Eneos and/or Idemitsu over Mobil 1/Mobil 1 EP? Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.
