I just Finished my First Oil Change on my 09' A/T tC, using ENEOS 5w-20 and a TRD Hi-Performance Oil Filter, and I definitely notice a Difference.
The Car Warms Up Faster, Idles Lower, is Quieter, and the Throttle Response is Better.
I always Used Royal Purple on my 98' GS, but figured I'd give this a try.
They did a Dyno Test on an LS-II and got 14+ Horses over Conventional Oil.
The only Bite to ENEOS is the Cost. Like $70 a Case w/Shipping on Amazon.

Oil has come such a far way that any quality conventional oil will do perfectly fine for your engine. Spending ridiculous amounts of money for specific oils will do close to nothing for the useable lifetime of your engine, and with that I mean, your car will rust out, fall apart or other random tidbits will scrap your car before the engine will fail.

If you want more protection use Mobil 1, Pennzoil Platinum, Valvoline, or any other quality synthetic and you will gain longer OCI's if you want them, better cold flow and extreme heat protection.

But to spend $70 for a case of oil is going a bit too far...

Just my .02!
