The name of the oil manufacturer Eneos in Greek means "new (or renewed) energy." This is due to the latest technological innovations that are used in the manufacture of oil.
The main advantage of the Eneos brand, as well as the entire range of oils, including 5W40, is its inclusion in the Cutting-Edge Technology formula. Created in Japan and produced in Korea, at local industrial facilities, it takes into account all the features and needs of the car. Representatives of the Japanese automobile industry also took part in the creation of the formula, on the basis of cooperation with which such a versatile product turned out.
The manufacturing process is divided into several stages, an interesting fact is that part of the oil is produced in both countries. So, for example, components are developed in Japan, after which they are sent for connection to Korea. Thanks to additives that neutralize combustion products, the engine remains cleaner even after prolonged use of Eneos oil.
Eneos is a brand of oil that absolutely and completely meets international standards. Among the norms and requirements that should be noted are SAE, ACEA, API, ILSAC.
Due to their technical properties, Eneos oils can compete with you.
Having found Eneos 5W40 engine oil and reviews on the Internet, you can safely buy it. But it should be remembered that in Korea or Japan it is unlikely that you will be able to purchase the original. The fact is that the inhabitants of these countries created it for the purpose of export, therefore it is mainly sold in the CIS. Although this also has a huge plus, because the oils, in terms of their technical characteristics and main properties, have completely adapted both to the weather conditions in the Russian Federation and to the competitive environment, which made it possible to count on a fairly good oil at a reasonable price.
The reviews you see online are mostly positive. This primarily concerns several aspects - low burnout, convenient packaging and others.
Reviews of synthetic oil Eneos 5W40
Here is what motorists and car owners write about brand oil on the network:
| № | User Reviews |
|---|---|
| 1 | As soon as I gave Eneos for laboratory analysis (to a processing plant), all parameters seemed normal to me, except for alkaline. 5.65 is quite low and in Japan it is normal - at the level of 6-7, but for our difficult conditions - is it suitable? For our conditions and climate, the norm is 7-9, and we change the oil less often than the Japanese. They have an oil change every 5000-7000 kilometers, and with us - once every 12000 kilometers. Somehow unclear... |
| 2 | I have been pouring this oil on myself for more than 5 years, the previous owner suggested. Compared to 10W40, it burns out a little less, and 5W40 practically does not burn out - and this despite the fact that it has already driven 300,000 kilometers. |
| 3 | I got tired of constantly experimenting after I had to change the connecting rod bearings. This is how I flooded Mobile. I was looking for something else, I stumbled upon Eneos (and I had already used their products, in particular, dexrons), I decided to fill it up. I drove 4000 km, I was satisfied - there were no constant noises before that, the engine started working softly (not like before on Castrol). Fuel consumption has decreased - at the level of 7 liters per 100 kilometers now, although it used to reach 7.8 before. |
| After this oil, the old Mitsubishi Lancer had to be treated for the first time: it would not start in the winter, the stuffing box began to leak, an emulsion appeared under the cap. It was in 2006, the oil was sold in few places. I thought that I ran into a fake, and decided to look elsewhere. Found, flooded, all problems disappeared. Now I don’t use it, because branded oil, as they say, is better, but there is no desire to play and try. |
Today, the Russian and Ukrainian car markets are literally full of a variety of all kinds of consumables, including motor oils. On our resource you can find many reviews of different brands, but today we will talk about Japanese-made products. What is a motor and reviews about it? What characteristics does it have and what are the advantages and disadvantages of this substance?
A little background. To date, Eneos is the largest manufacturer in Japan in terms of scale. The company's products are manufactured in South Korea.
[ Hide ]
Oil characteristics
According to the results of many studies, Eneos products have received all the necessary quality standards for sale in international markets. According to the manufacturer, this factor is fundamental when choosing engine oil. Therefore, according to the manufacturer, the consumer can be fully trusted with Enios motor fluid. Immediately, we note that this information is advertising and does not carry any underlying reason.
Enios engine fluid, engine flush and oil filter
Again, according to official data, all international quality standards are taken into account in the production of this consumable. Fluids produced by Eneos are recommended for use in vehicles manufactured in Russia, the USA, Europe and Japan. In other words, Japanese engine oil (MM) Enios can be used in all modern cars. It should also be noted that according to the reviews of domestic motorists, these products are quite popular among consumers. This fact is confirmed by statistics - only the Russian market is the second largest for the company after the Japanese one in terms of sales of these products.
According to official information, advanced technologies are used in the production of the liquid and new ideas are always being introduced. And numerous product testing confirms the quality of Eneos. Depending on the type of consumable material, the basis of manufactured products can be "synthetics", "semi-synthetics" or "mineral water". As for new ideas, this is true: according to company officials, specialists have launched production of products based on base lubricants obtained by hydrocracking.
In particular, this technology improves:
- molecular structure of the consumable;
- increase the resistance to aging of the liquid;
- reduce the level of volatility of the consumable;
- as well as reduce the level of carbon deposits and deposits in the injection system.
It should be noted that according to the results of scientific research, products based on hydrocracking are not inferior in terms of characteristics to either synthetics or semi-synthetics. Japanese experts track trends in MM production technologies from their competitors. And they do it for good reason: based on this information, the Japanese manufacturer adds the best to their products.
As for the main characteristics of the liquid, in addition to preventing the appearance of carbon deposits and reducing the level of volatility, MM Enios has the following properties.
All these theses are relevant for any company's products:
- The consumables of this brand make it possible to ensure easy and “painless” starting of the engine even at the lowest temperatures, down to 40 degrees below zero.
- According to the test results, this MM can reliably protect the engine of any, even an old vehicle, from rust inside its components. The use of MM Enios allows you to protect the engine from increased wear.
- Washing technology makes it possible not only to prevent the appearance of soot, but also the most significant deposits.
- Prevents the development of oxidative processes, allowing you to maintain performance even in the most extreme operating conditions.
Advantages and disadvantages
As consumer reviews show, Enios oil has a number of advantages and certain disadvantages. Let's consider them further.
So the benefits:
- MM allows you to start the engine at low temperatures;
- Enios oil is a quality product that does not contribute to the appearance of carbon deposits in the system;
- this consumable has a low cost compared to other foreign analogues;
- regardless of the type of product, the liquid will have the same viscosity index, which may vary depending on temperature;
- in some cases (meaning relatively new cars), MM allows you to reduce fuel consumption.
Nagar resulting from the use of a bad MM Consider the disadvantages:
- the first drawback is the brand’s low popularity, as a result of which you can stumble upon a fake in the domestic market;
- products from the company have a low alkaline number, which is normal for cars manufactured in Asia, but can adversely affect the engines of domestic cars;
- the consumable does not keep the factory characteristics and changes its properties quickly, which can cause extraneous sounds during engine operation;
- Enios products contain a not very rich additive package, which can cause leakage in some engines;
- even if the liquid does not contribute to the appearance of soot, it quickly “leaves” into the engine, as a result of which the motorist needs to carry a little MM with him;
- although the engine can start at sub-zero temperatures, starting problems may arise already at -38 degrees.
Range
The manufacturer's range, in addition to hydraulic, transmission oils and other lubricating fluids, includes more than a dozen types of MM. We will not consider detailed characteristics, but we will give a list. Engine oil made in Japan Enyos

ENEOS engine oil. Large letters printed on metal cans evoke associations with the names of the heroes of Ancient Hellas. Is this lubricant made in Greece? You will receive the answer to the question by reading the proposed article. It provides a description of some brands of Eneos grease in the viscosity group according to SAE 5W-30.
whose shoe
In fact, Eneos is the common brand of two Japanese companies: Nippon Oil Corporation and Japan Energy Corporation, which became JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation after the merger in 2010. The name is a synthesis of two European words: Energy and Neos (new - in Greek). Basically, Eneos motor fluids are used for primary filling, in addition, they are sold by combined branded filling stations in bottling from dispensers.
Oil is supplied to the Japanese market from Taiwan (NISSEKI COMPANY LTD). For importing countries of the Far East region, including Russia, oil is blended in South Korea (MICHANG OIL INDUSTRIAL Co, Busan and Ulsan). If the packages containing cans with liquid do not contain the address of the Korean manufacturer, it is likely that this is a Taiwanese product that came to Russia through illegal channels.
On the one hand, such a product seems to be of better quality, since it is intended for Japan. On the other hand, there is a risk of falling for an outright fake. And the products of Korean manufacturers are better adapted to Russian realities. So the Korean Eneos is even more preferable.
The origin of liquids, sometimes sold in plastic containers with a label attached, is difficult to explain. In any case, the information on them is rather contradictory.
Varieties of Eneos 5W-30
A feature of the Japanese automotive industry is the priority use of mineral motor oils (MM). This also applies to the product in question, which in Russia is called as you like: Eneos, Enios, Eneos, Ineos. However, semi- and fully synthetic lubricants are also produced under this brand - Eneos Super Gasoline oil.
Attention: Eneos lubricants are not universal. Each oil has its own purpose. There are some oils for gasoline engines, and others for diesel engines. An important factor is the presence or absence of turbocharging.
The reader is offered several brands of lubricant with the most used viscosity group 5W-30.
Mineral multigrade engine oil Diesel Turbo CG-4
Designed for high power diesel engines, including turbocharged ones. Due to the high mass fraction of active filler elements, it reliably lubricates the engine under any operating conditions, promotes quick start-up and has a high washing power.
Effectively neutralizes the sulfur contained in diesel fuel, and low volatility reduces the consumption of MM. There are no reviews for this brand on the net; apparently, it is not popular in Russia. And there are very few offers for sale.

- saves gasoline;
- silent operation of the engine;
- affordable price.
The negative property is that in severe frost, the lubricant freezes.
The cost of various brands is given in the table
As you can see, the cost of Eneos 5W30 oils is not exorbitant, in comparison with some European brands, although it exceeds the price of domestic Lukoil by 1.5 - 2 times.
At the same time, these products (of course, not counterfeit or counterfeit) are manufactured using modern technologies and meet the latest standards. Therefore, many owners of Japanese cars in Russia choose Eneos engine oil.
There are many fans of Japanese cars among Russians. Car enthusiasts prefer brands such as Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi. Original car oils are offered for their maintenance, but few car owners know which company is their manufacturer. For example, the original lubricating compound for Mazda and Eneos engine oil are “twins” that were poured, one might say, from the same barrel owned by JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation, Japan's largest oil corporation.
A few words about the manufacturer
At the very beginning of this century, two large companies, Nippon Oil and Mitsubishi Oil, merged to form the Nippon Oil Corporation holding. 2010 was marked by a merger with another powerful Japanese company Japan Energy Corporation. Now the name sounds like JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation. Today it is the largest oil company in Japan. In terms of production, the corporation ranks seventh among the largest oil companies in the world.
Japanese transmission and motor oils under the Eneos trademark are poured into every 8 out of 10 cars manufactured by Japanese automotive companies today. For example, Eneos brand lubricant is poured into automatic transmissions and motors while still on the assembly line: Nippon Oil has entered into such an agreement with Toyota, Nissan, and Honda factories.
According to the leading managers of the corporation, the Russian market of automotive consumables is the second most important for the JX Group after the Japanese one. The Japanese corporation is actively cooperating with Russian oil companies. Since 2010, the Russian company Gazprom Neft, together with Nippon, began the production of motor lubricants based on the base oil of a Russian company with Japanese additive packages.
Features of Eneos lubricants
Eneos motor fluids are produced for gasoline and diesel engines. Synthetic, semi-synthetic and mineral base oils are used in production. The young brand quickly won a considerable share of the world market. Its name is the quintessence of two words. The initial letter E - from the English energy (energy), Neos - from the Greek "new". As a result, we get "new energy".
The concern's refineries produce base oils using advanced catalytic hydrocracking technology - Cutting-Edge Technology. The idiom translates as "the most advanced technology." Thus, scientific laboratories have achieved an increase in the life of the lubricant product. At the same time, oil formulations are cheaper than those of eminent competitors. For the Russian market, Eneos oils are prepared at the plant of the Korean company Michang Oil Industrial. There, the base composition is mixed with additive packages corresponding to the manufactured modifications.
Adaptation to the Russian market is expressed in an increase in the base number (TBN), which makes it possible to withstand a large amount of oxidation products due to low-quality fuel. Other operating conditions are also taken into account, such as bad roads and high dust levels.
To avoid the appearance of counterfeit products, the manufacturer uses tin containers. Its fake is too expensive for scammers, so there are no cases of selling fake Enios oil yet.
Range of manufactured lubricants
Automotive oils manufactured by JX Group are not only for Japanese cars. They can be used for any vehicle that meets the lubricant specification. Universal lubricants for both types of engines are not sold. Oils are offered separately only for gasoline or diesel engines.
Products for gasoline power units
All proposed lubricants, with the exception of mineral ones, contain friction modifiers based on molybdenum disulfide. This additive gives Eneos oils an energy-saving function, makes it easier to start the engine in cold weather, increases engine wear resistance and increases its power. Below are some of the oils present on the Russian market:
Diesel oils
Super Touring 10W 40 is a synthetic lubricant for diesel engines of all modern modifications, including units with turbine superchargers. A high base number of 12.4 makes it possible to extend the intervals between oil changes. Hardens at -40°C. The API defined its class as CI-4.
Conclusion
You can describe Eneos engine oil from Japan for a long time, because it has about 20 varieties. In addition to the above, semi-synthetic and mineral fluids are produced. All products developed at Nippon are well suited in terms of specifications and cost to the motors of the Russian car park.
Reliable lubricant brand in the automotive world
Nipron Oil Corporation is Japan's largest oil company. It sells motor and other oils under the Eneos brand. Eneos lubricants are produced by the largest oil refinery in South Korea, which has a license and operates under the technological control of a Japanese corporation. Numerous tests show that Nippon Oil products are of the highest quality, so customers can fully trust the brand.
When developing Eneos lubricants, the international quality standard was taken into account. All oils, including 10W 40, are recommended for use in Japanese, European, American and Russian vehicles.
A modern car is a combination of various factors:
- high tech;
- the latest construction materials;
- variety of electronics;
- powerful engines.
In order to ensure the performance of such equipment, it is necessary to use the highest quality oil. Therefore, many, looking under the hood of their car, can find a sticker on the use of Eneos lubricant there, quite often - brand 10W 40. In particular, Russia is the second country in the world after Japan in terms of sales of the company's products.
Quality and range
Line of Japanese lubricants This oil company was formed as a result of the merger of two Japanese industry giants - Nippon Oil and Mitsubishi Oil. Eneos automotive oil is the result of their fruitful collaboration. When developing lubricants, the international quality standard is taken into account and the most advanced ideas are being introduced.
Most often, oil is made by treating oil with hydrocracking. However, Nippon Oil Corporation has developed a new technology called Cutting-Edge in accordance with the latest requirements.
Various tests and many years of practice only confirm the quality of the brand. It is approved for use in many countries. The Eneos line of motor lubricants includes over twenty items, including 10W 40. These are various motor oils for diesel and gasoline engines, the base of which can be mineral, semi-synthetic or synthetic.
Also, the corporation's specialists are constantly working on improving production technologies. For example, the company mastered the production of products based on base lubricants obtained by hydrocracking. Thanks to this technology, the following characteristics of the base oil are improved:
- molecular structure;
- resistance to aging;
- reduced volatility;
- reduction in soot formation.
Based on hydrocracking, performance characteristics are not inferior to semi-synthetic and synthetic oils at a significantly lower cost. In addition, Nippon Oil specialists closely monitor the latest scientific and technical achievements in the production of motor oils for operation in extreme conditions and develop their own products.
It was this company that produced the famous “nulls”, which are SAE 0W20 (50) class engine oil, capable of operating under a wide range of loads and temperatures.
As tests show, the unique combination of additives provides the following benefits with the constant use of Eneos motor oil:
- improvement of engine performance;
- maintaining the cleanliness of the insides of the motor;
- increase in the service life of the power unit;
- reduction in fuel consumption.
All this has a tangible impact on the economic performance of the machine.
Eneos engine oil is able to get along well with low-quality fuels. This is due to the fact that this grease has a high base number, which ensures the effectiveness of the neutralization of corrosive products formed during the combustion of gasoline or diesel fuel. Thus, subject to the terms of replacement, Japanese engine oil can become a "therapist" for the engine.
