ENEOS “We Love Cars” Series Four: Mitsubishi Lancer Evo
Part four of the ENEOS “We Love Cars” series brings us to one of Japan’s greatest, most tunable sports sedans: the turbocharged, AWD Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Over the next couple weeks, we’re highlighting a few of the later model Evo generations (commonly available in the U.S.) on social media and showcasing its potential when given the right modifications.
And, of course, any Evo 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 Mitsubishi.
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. Of course, we also want to see which of you have the best modified versions, and encourage you to share photos with us by posting to social media with the hashtag #ShowYourENEOS; our favorite photos receive a prize as a bonus!
