Default Eneos or Silkolene synthetic oils, anyone ever heard of them?

Now that our move across country is getting into gear. I got to thinking that I will no longer have free oil changes at my dealer. When we move, I'll probably do them myself but I'll switch to a synthetic 0w-20.

From what I understand 0w-20 synthetic is a little hard to find at local stores so I checked the internet. Low and behold, you can get a case (6) of Mobil1 0w-20 from amazon.

There were 2 other oils Eneos and Silkolene that were a little bit more. I had never heard of them but I was wondering if anyone else has. Good or bad?

silkolene is for motorcycles, and I have never heard of the other one. The Eneos I found for sale on an rsx site looks to be about 80 bucks for 6 quarts, that may be a little much for our trucks.

Eneos is a Japanese company. Big in Japan- lots of gas stations. Never used their products, but I assume they're good.

Yup, Eneos is Japanese... I think they are part of/or are Nippon oil.
