ENEOS “We Love Cars” Series One: Toyota 86

It’s no secret that ENEOS loves cars. After all, we have the expertise to engineer high-quality performance lubricants, utilizing advanced additive and base oil technology, to provide vehicles with optimal protection against wear, even under the most extreme conditions, while also reducing friction for superior performance and fuel savings.

In our “We Love Cars” series, we examine some of our favorite cars for two weeks on social media, showcasing some of the world’s best modified examples, while sharing industry knowledge with tips about buying, modifying, sometimes restoring. Overall, we want to share how much fun you can have with a particular platform. Of course, we also want to see which of our followers have the best modified versions, and encourage you to share them with us by posting to social media with the hashtag #ShowYourENEOS; our favorites receive a little prize as a bonus!

We kicked things off with the Toyota 86, the homage to the iconic AE86 Corolla — the sporty RWD compact car that made us fall in love with drifting. The modern 86 (formerly Scion FR-S) takes the spirit of the Hachiroku to the next level by adding a high fun factor, and is a blank canvas for enthusiasts to get creative with well chosen modifications. It’s a car that benefits from the use of ENEOS high-quality performance lubricants because they are developed with and used by the majority of Japanese vehicle manufacturers.

Here are a few highlights from our 86 Edition of “We Love Cars” series:
