ENEOS “We Love Cars” Series Five: Mazda Miata MX-5
Let’s look at a car that’s small in size and power but packs a punch when it comes to delivering fun: the Mazda MX-5 Miata.
Regarded as the best-selling two-seat convertible sports car in history, the lightweight roadster debuted in 1989 and was recognized for its dynamic balance and minimal design. And perhaps its greatest asset is the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive platform, making it an instant hit with driving enthusiasts.
The great thing about the MX-5 is you don’t need to do much to make it better, and the right parts can make the MX-5 a joy to drive, no matter if it’s on canyon roads or your local race circuit. Using the right performance lubricants, like ENEOS Motor Oil, can also help ensure your Miata will run strong and reliably for the duration of your ownership.
ENEOS Motor Oil is ideal for cars like the Miata MX-5 because its high-quality performance lubricants are developed with (and used by) the majority of Japan’s vehicle manufacturers, such as Mazda. ENEOS motor oils utilize advanced base oil technology and additives to provide optimal protection against wear under the most extreme conditions, as well as reduced friction for superior performance and fuel savings.
