NEW NIPPON MOTOR OIL 0W-50/ WORTH THE PRICE?
Go on to www.eneos.us and check out the latest high performance motor oil called Full Synthetic 0W-50 ENEOS. Is it worth $11.49 + shipping per quart? At what point do you believe that MORE expensive is always better!

0w50 is good for use in places like alaska and the north pole where the temp goes below minus 20 degress and the oil will still flow at that temp when cold.

ed, your engine was not designed with low viscosity motor oils in mind, heck they werent even invented yet. If you go to a thin weight moil like that you will likely see a loss in oil pressure, espically when hot. I would reccomend going to a thicker oil then you run in the winter now that the warmer temps are here.

my thoughts exactly. #1 over there would be made by the ricers/tuners/drifters - there are so many of them that a boycott spells certain death for a company.

I was trying to be "sarcastic" about this stuff!  I use Royal Purple 5W-30 and believe that for the most part, it does what it says. My point was that now NIPPON has this 0W-50 stuff(at over $12.00 a qt. with shipping)and at what point do you overpay for something and still think it HAS TO BE BETTER just BECAUSE IT COSTS MORE.
