    I want to say Project Farm spent way more time than most people can imagine for these testing.
    Freezing oil takes 24hr, cook test are 120 mins , wear testing 10 mins, oil race, and running in small engines,
    AND he didn't just step away and wait for timers. He took temps of each test and rotate oil pots as the time are running!!!!
    Oh yea and sending oil to labs probably also take a few days... After videos is done, there editings... This guy is the true legend

Saved me plenty of headache since some of the products I was considering ended up being bottom scorers. Never been disappointed by his recommendations and I love how thorough he is in his testing.

    The green hue is actually a good thing! It means it is real Pennsylvania Grade Crude oil. It's green because the oil has a low asphalt content. Back when there were lots of conventional oil wells in Pennsylvania, the oil usually had this green hue. It also tended to have the right hydrocarbon lengths to be optimized for lubrication. There wasn't much refining necessary. That's why two major lubricating oil brands, Quaker State and Pennzoil, have their roots in PA. Sunoco also got started with lubricating oil in PA but quickly diversified into fuel oil in other states.
    Nowadays, most crude from Pennsylvania is fracked directly out of the Marcellus shale; the green stuff usually migrated out of the Marcellus and into reservoir rocks like limestone. The shale oil is black. But I've seen the green oil, especially a few times where my rig was drilling for gas around old conventional wells. And I'm sure Pennzoil and Quaker State get oil from all over the place, because they're brands, not companies.
    Oil can come in all kinds of colors besides black.

      Used to have the tool that would punch the hole in the can and double as the pour spout. Always kept it in a clean coffee can to keep the dust off.

    In the 1950s the viscosity and service grade were stamped or inked onto the lid of the can. My father used to fill up the car for the weekend at a friend' s BA (British American) service station. You could also buy "bulk oil" in glass bottles and I was allowed to fill the bottles from oil drums in the cellar.

    The reason you saw no weight grade on the can was the rust. They marked the top of the can. Back in the day of single weight oils you ran 10s and 20s in the winter and 30s and 40s summer based on your operation zone. If it was a detergent oil or nondetergent it was on the top too. Can sides were universal labeling with only the top being the varying label component.

      If someone was smart enough to pay extra for a filter for the Chevy it was a bypass type that clamped to the intake manifold with oil lines going to the pressure and return ports. Sometime in the 60s you could no longer get good elements. Then you needed to install a Frantz oil cleaner. Frantz Also made an adapter so you could use toilet paper in the stock housings. Then you could give the finger to the oil change racket.

    Todd, I am a recent subscribed member and love your show! I came across a problem that that everyone will likely come across when it comes to refrigerators and AC units for cars and home. I was given a Maytag refrigerator for free and it was only 4 yrs old and it looks like new. I took it on as a project and it clearly was low on refrigerant. I installed a piercing valve and I refilled it and it worked perfect for two months and then it stopped cooling. I refilled it with Freon R134A and sure enough it worked great again but required to be refilled twice the first to weeks. I took apart the unit and exposed all the components and filled according to instructions a liquid dye and bought a Freon sniffing tool and after three weeks i absolutely could not find the leak so i knew i had a micro leak that was likely under the insulation in the frig box. So instead of destroying the frig I bought a product on line called supercool sealer made in the USA. Due to sketchy info on the direction on the package I had to call the people that sold this product to determine the proper amount of sealer required for a home refrigerator and they said it was equal to a quarter ton refrigeration unit. I started the project May 22- 2022 and placed the sealer in the unit and kept a steady log. Its now been two full months and i had to fill the unit twice in the first two weeks and since then the leak seems to have slowed down but hasn't stopped yet and i am getting to critical level on the intake compressor pressure.
    My question to you, is there a way to test this product and others to prove if they really work or not and which one really is good ? I think we all can benefit from this.

      I older cars that used that had used Quaker State 10 or 15 years. The oil would turn to sludge. I would spoon it out around the lifters and push rods. I would add one quart of transmission fluid in place of a quart of oil to the new oil and run it thirty minutes. Gunk would roll out when I drained it. I would keep doing that after every oil change. After about eight or so oil changes not much sludge would come out. I would use an engine flush next few oil changes. The engines got better in the first 20 k miles I owned them haha. Sound better and ran better. Some would have so much gunk could only add five quarts instead of six. I had to pull a oil pan and pump off of a Chevy 250 straight six. It clogged first time after trans fluid.

    I remember selling those cans of Quaker State and Wolfs Head. When it was very cold you could not pour it from the can with just a church key hole in it. You had to have the full spout and then wait 5 minutes . And to think people added STP to this stuff. Engines had bigger oil lines but bearing clearances are essentially the same. Those were the days when an average engine life was about 100K before a rebuilt was needed. Now a well designed engine can last 300k+ and never have the crankcase split. Even the incredibly more complex valve trains hold up amazingly well. It appears the newer oils are responsible for at least part of this longevity.

      Worked in a full service Standard Station in the early 60s. It was common to remove the drain plug and nothing came out. Push a screw driver on and a couple of quarts came out. The boss would say put some kerosene in and let it run. Probably made things worse. When you overhauled an engine you spent more time cleaning the engine than anything. My uncle went to a Shell station for their multi Grade oil change. He said it always uses a quart of oil then doesn't use any more until the next oil change. I realize now that about 1qt evaporated.

      Kendall was a reputable oil. Most of us that used toilet paper filters in the 60s didn't drain oil. 2000 miles was about when we changed the toilet paper and added a quart of oil. Started going with a girl that had a 66 VW beetle She was changing the oil every 1500 miles. I think that was recommended. VW saved millions by not putting a filter on the engine.The owner got the shaft.That bull shit stopped when I put a Motor Guard on it. Took several filter changes before big metal stopped showing up in the filter housing. The original Motor Guard filtered from the bottom up. I tilted the filter so the big metal wouldn't gravity back down into the engine. Frantz wanted their filter upside down on a beetle which did the same thing.

Back then blow by was via a tube down under the car, air rushing by caused a vacuum and drew out the fumes.

    A thought...the wear scar test may be skewed in favor the inferior oils.
    As the scar gets larger, the bearing surface is larger, thus the psi load is lessened meaning the oil isn’t stressed as much.
    A smaller scar may mean a substantially higher load bearing oil in this example as it’s smaller load bearing surface represents a substantially higher psi loading.

Most of the cars back then seemed to burn oil as there always seemed to be this big blue cloud of smoke coming out of the tail pipe when you started the car.
