Default ENEOS fluids?

Hey, im shopping around for fluids and came across ENEOS. I couldnt find any info on the forums about them.

has anyone used them or heard of them? any opinions on them?

The MT fluid says GL-5 75w90... is that what MTF should be?

http://www.eneos.us/product/8

and could i use that in the rear diff?

should i stay away from this stuff?

ENEOS is GREAT stuff! Used it for 3 years at the motorsports shop I used to work for. I would put it up there with Motul, as they are both very well known in Japan. They claimed that using one of their 0weight oils, you could cold start a high revving motor and redline it immediatly... and it would be fully protected. We never had any trouble with it, Its just really expensive and hard to come by..

ENEOS is a Japanese oil brand, so it gets more positive thinking here in the states than it should imo. From what I hear, its a decent oil, but for the price and difficulty in getting it you are better going with Amsoil for instance.

Amsoil 75/110 really hard to beat.

Eneos seems readily available and fairly well priced on amazon, plus no shipping or tax.

im still confused as to why their Manual Transmission fluid is also Diff fluid and is 75w90
