You should heat up the engine oil up to 100 degree Celcius for friction test. Engines operate at high temperature, so metal wear happens in that condition. Testing the anti wear and anti friction performance of the oil at room temperature is not realistic.
This is an unfair comparison because Magnatec points at anti-friction control whereas the TopTec does not. The equivalent from Liqui Molly is the Molygen series. You should test Magnatec 5w30 vs Molygen 5w30, and the result would be different.
do you think castrol conventional 5/30 and risilone concentrate is ok. i may start synthetic castrol next change but no issues ever with what im using now.
I have used both full synthetic engine oils in my polo and liqui moly toptec 4100 5w40 is far better than castrol edge 5w40 makes engine smoother and reduces vibration and noise.
This is very rudimentary testing. The issue is not when the oil is new out the bottle and drains better. Its after 3K miles and 5K miles under load with heat, water, foaming etc. City driving vs highway vs off-road how does it perform? Drain the oils after 5K miles then do tests.
This difference is well within a margin for errors really. Let’s say you have a 1% margin, this is around 0,16% difference. It is extremely difficult to objectively hold the oil responsible for the difference. Why? 1. No bearing is identical. Even two sides of a bearing are not identical. Simply put, bearings are not made in vacuum or lab conditions. 2. You need to exceed the 1% margin for errors. Perhaps you need to run the test a lot longer. Maybe for hours on end. Everything within that 1% could be due to surfactants like dust or perhaps even tiny metal shavings. 3. You need to replicate exact conditions. The machine and bearing temperature should exactly match in every test. As should for example the weight and the exact mounting positions. 4. You need to be able to replicate this result at least 10 times, interchanging bearings every time. Because to eliminate a case of bad luck, you need to be able to reproduce the exact same conditions and exact same results every single time. And last but certainly not least... 6. You need to be able to check the oils ability to keep carbon and contaminates in suspense. Not only for cleaning a petrol engine but especially a diesel engine. Especially at extreme temperatures. And with that contaminated oil, what exactly are the results then? And the lubricity. At this time, this test is really very, very inconclusive at best.
Im not in the defense of any of this oils in particular. For me both are on the podium for best oils, but Liqui Moly has so many different types of 5w30 because they develop according to specifications. I would have done, for example a comparisson between Liqui Moly 5w30 Longtime High Tech against Castrol Edge 5w30 LL. That would be similar. Though, the best oil is the one that meets your car's specifications...
It is stupid to compare oils with different specifications! Not all 5W30 oils have same viscosity! For example this liqui moly viscosity at 40C is 71 mm2/s, and castrol is 56. Thats why castrol flows faster in the tube. Oil bearing test is stupid too! There are no such high pressures in the engine like we see on this test machine! People dont be fooled by such tests! There is no best oil! The best one is the one recommended for specific car \ engine. You can find that on the sites of oil company the one you like.
A big clap for this person..just read what he typed..and so for me I’m an engineer and I’m not using Castrol for no risk..I m glad for liqui moly oil and I will never change that.!!!
@@dimitriskypas7520 An engineer u should try to be better than the competition in any field. Obviously there are regulations to get certain specifications but there is always room for improvement. I cant believe i have to say this to an engineer .....
@@dimitriskypas7520 do you even understand what the OP is saying? even when Castrol flows better you still picked Liqui Moly? what uni do you go to again?
In my opinion this is a useless "test" for an oil. Here in Oz it recommends to use 0w30 engine oil by Toyota and with our warmer climates once you engine is up to operating temps it basically turns to vapour and clogs up your intake. So I went for a 10w40 and oil consumption is far less and with the aid of an oil catch can and regular maintance no more clogged up intake or heavy oil consumption.... Personally I use Penrite oil for my engines
That is a really great test. I'm going to do an oil change soon but there is a new oil, Rotella Gas Truck. Its designed for light duty gasoline trucks but I'm curious to use it on a 2012 Honda Civic.
How do we know both oils were the same temperature when u let them flow out the tube. One bottle could have been taken out the freezer earlier. Because u poured the castrol first it had more time exposed to ambient temperature and would have been warmer etc. If small differences determine a winner then u need to be more accurate
Hi, I have a 2009 BMW 525d. 220.000 km. it’s better Liqui Moly 5w40 or Motul x-clean 5W40 I would like the best oil. I live in Greece. Who it’s the best for this car?
Unexpected results, , I really thought Liqui Moly was going to kick Castrol’s butt because the Castrol oil tested here is not one of the best ones, better than this option you could have chosen Castrol Edge or even better Castrol Edge Extended Performance. I have always liked Castrol good to know that even one of its more basic oils outperforms some “high end” synthetic oils. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE VIDEOS.
- Castrol MAGNATEC is NOT a "basic" or entry level oil. It is a FULL Synthetic lubricant, right below Castrol's EDGE and EDGE EXTENDED. This is their Top Of The Line in the GTX Series (not a synthetic blend) designed for GDI (Turbo) Engines.
@@77GR1982 It seems like it is a great oil, I have never tried it good to know it is a good option if I can't find Castrol Edge. I have never tried Liqui Moly because is kind of expensive I thought it wasn't worth it, now I know it ain't.
Hey, please make a test When oil temperature is on 90c. Because only few minutes the Engine work with low temperature. So is much important to SEE what is Happen there
You should've added Ardeca on there. They're emerging in the American market and are holding up excellently. Their top-shelf oils are supposedly Group IV.
Which is the better Engine Oil in-between three ones for my Nissan Terrano Diesel 2014 Model. 1lac80 thousand Driven. 1) Mobil 1™ 5W-30 2) Mobil Super™ 3000 X1 Formula FE 5W-30 3) Mobil 1™ ESP Formula 5W-30
as with the rend to reduce consumption and pollution, I would avoid oil manufacturers working closely with car manaufacturers. Indeed, low viscosity oil is good for consumption and cold start but not good for the engine. Especially for hign mileage cars. I heard that liqui molly is stickier than castrol, a good thing ?!
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO Me too 😉And in addition it is not the high end of castrol! The most upscale at castrol is castrol edge fst, anti-friction, extreme pressure, reinforced with titanium molecules!. I also like the bardahl XTS and XTC, reinforced with the carbon molecules c60 and polarplus
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTOThat would be something. Maybe a couple of suggestions would be to make a championship between top of the line oils, Mobil-1 Annual Protection, Castrol Edge Extended, Amsoil Signature Series, Motul 100% Synthetic and other videos with the basic non synthetic oils, that way anyone can know wich one is the top of the top and wich oil is the best amoung entry level lubricants.
They are different oils, VW 504 spec oil has a weaker protection package than dexos for some reason. Though I will never use castrol in any car again, have seen it destroy too many motors.
The quality varies depending where you are buying from. In the US probably Castrol Magnatec is still great but in EU, Eastern EU especially is crap, so my advice is that Liqui Molly is a better choice for EU users...
This is useless test. The most important feature of an engine oil is its adhesion to car parts for cold start, or for when car was sitting for an extended period of time. Liqui moly offers the best adhesion. Castrol is good too.
manipulated tests, Castrol is a complete rubbish, I have only used Liqui Moly for years and dare I say this is the best, just notice how it seems that Castrol has not been in the freezer? Liqui Moly Number 1,just to add note how the liqui moly drizzle fades from the cold but does not castrol.

Can you do one shot instead of cutting ? That would prove it.
I've used both these oils in my 2014 A4. The Liqui Moly gives me a smoother engine operation and idle.
You should heat up the engine oil up to 100 degree Celcius for friction test. Engines operate at high temperature, so metal wear happens in that condition. Testing the anti wear and anti friction performance of the oil at room temperature is not realistic.
