ENEOS “We Love Cars” Series Three: Honda Civic
The third installment of the ENEOS “We Love Cars” series brings us to one of our all-time favorites: the Honda Civic. Over the next couple weeks, we’re highlighting this compact car on social media through some of its most popular chassis and showcasing its potential when given the right modifications.
And, of course, any Honda Civic generation benefits greatly from the use of high-quality ENEOS performance lubricants because they were and continue to be developed with and used by the majority of Japan’s vehicle manufacturers, such as Honda.
ENEOS expertise allows us to engineer high-quality performance lubricants, utilizing advanced base oil technology and additives to provide vehicles with optimal protection against wear, even under the most extreme conditions, while also reducing friction for superior performance and fuel savings. ENEOS loves cars so much, we’ve dedicated ourselves to protecting them!
If you’re new to the ENEOS “We Love Cars” series, we highlight our favorite cars for two weeks on social media, showcasing some of the world’s best modified examples, while sharing tips about buying, modifying and even restoring. We want to share how much fun you can have with each chosen platform.
