Thank you all very much for suggesting this video idea. I look forward to your suggestions for other ideas in the future. Best regards, Todd Amsoil: amzn.to/3aNZYoV Royal Purple: amzn.to/31l9ehc
Todd - I really enjoy these videos. I know we are over a year out from the Amsoil/Royal Purple test. Wondering if you have tested Cenex Maxtron? Cenex is a big brand in the upper midwest and plains states.
Love your videos! Any chance of a face off between the V-twin line ups? Say AMSOIL, syn 3, and Mobil 1. I know, kinda specific, but I’d love to see it! Thanks again for the great content!
Wife just got mad at me 🤦🏽♂️ she said why am I changing the oil on the truck again I said royal purple just got beat in a race by amsoil I cant take no chances 🤣
Wow this literally was me tonight when I just put royal purple in my car and now after watching this video I will be switching to amsoil need oil change.🤣
You guys are crazy. You can't go by this kind of testing. Why do you think us drag racers and those nascar boys run either Maxima oil or Royal Purple oil, you can't get ant better than these on true engine testing. I do like this guy's video and he does a lot of good stuff but this video no.
What makes these tests of yours so significant is that you're not sponsored by any of the companies who's products you test, you use your own testing equipment and methodology and you don't trick the tests. 100% unbiased results.
@@the3rdid485 I think it's good he's not sponsored by the products being tested, I'd be ok with him being sponsored by a company making testing equipment so long as any/all details of said sponsoring were made clear.
I had heard royal purple was “the best” by some peoples anecdotes, and so I started using it in my vehicle. That new and “cooked” cold flow test really blew me away. I might be switching to Amsoil now
I will still continue to use Royal Purple for its detergent/cleaning properties! Engines that are taken apart after using it are unbelievably clean! I have very strict "what to use, what not to use" issues with the BMW M4. I will always still remain mindful of making sure I always give proper warmup time. The cold flow also really surprised me! You cannot go wrong with either of them! More wear/tear will be done via driving style/use/proper abuse VS just coming down to which oil you choose! In conclusion.. this guy goes all out with these tests and its freaking awesome seeing how large his channel and subscriber base has gotton! GREAT STUFF!
@@ProjectFarm Your testing runs with my findings. I bought a 2012 BMW Alpina B7 and alternated Amsoil and RP every 10k miles with a 3k washout in between using BMW recommended Castrol. I gave each oil 5 runs of 10k each so a grand total of 100k testing miles. Results were as follows: Amsoil consistantly had lower burnoff and less metals content in (ppm) than RP. RP had consistently better mpg and carbon buildup(visual inspection of cylinder heads) than Amsoil. I concluded at 140k that each of these oils "proprietary" blend is designed to do something different!!! Amsoil obviously has something in it that increases stability at high temps. RP obviously has something in it that reduces friction. Thanks for posting your findings!
When I used to build race cars and engines our shop Z06 right around 600whp and 550ftlbs. On the road course mobile 1 lasted 1.5 20 min sessions before breaking down and sending oil temps through the roof. Royal purple lasted 3-4 sessions and redline would go the whole day but not another track day. Amsoil lasted multiple track days including numerous top speed blasts, 1/4 mile passes and normal street driving.
@@matt7sixty yes the signature series. All new engines would get their break in oil for initial start, tuning and the first 500 miles. Then we would switch to the sig series.
The problem I see with this test is he is using RP's entry level API oil and not their mid level or top line oils. Amsoil signature is in the top of Amsoils line up. RP now has HPS their mid level oil and XPR which is their full racing oil. the HPS is the stating point were you get their special additive, since they have been bought out. That means the cheaper API oil off wal-mart or box store auto parts stores do not come with Synerlec®. It also has higher zinc and other additives like the Amsoil.
I can see you in the store buying the griddle. Sales person: “This griddle is the best non stick there is.” Project Farm: “That doesn’t matter I only cook oil.” Sale rep: “You mean you only cook with oil.” Project Farm: “No I cook just the oil. Where are your coffee pots?”
@@countryfamilyalways7280 yes the one made from natural gas it's supposed to be more slippery then mobile one even. I really hope he test that Pennzoil synthetic from natural gas
The oil races are even better than NASCAR nowadays. Great videos, Todd. I often watch alot of them even when I'm not in the market for what you're testing. This is my favorite channel on YT.
oil playoff video yes, i will eat some bbq and drink a few beers to that, if only we used bacon grease in our car engines the world would smell great, and the vegans would be walking, perfect.
Its because AMSOIL SIGNATURE SERIES uses (PAO base stock) mixed with an (ESTER base stock) the ONLY other oil brand to use ESTERs in 2019 is Redline, because of the extremely high cost, the issue is an ESTER oil by itself absorbs a lot of moisture much like brake fluid does. So for racing applications where the oil is changed daily or per race, its the best option for lubrication. But in the application of daily transportation you require PAO mixed with it to block the moisture out. A massive percentage of "synthetic" oils on the market are crude oil base stock heavily refined in a process called hydro-cracking(this legally is considered synthetic oil), a TINY percentage of the "synthetic" oils on the market are a mixture of PAO and ESTER base. Hence why AMSOIL is un-beatable in automotive transportation application, and machinery applications including; Jet engines. MOBIL 1 used to sell the same product as AMSOIL and did away with it, because the cost didn't yield enough profit margin. But true PAO and ESTER based oils have been around for a very very long time, but were 1st brought to the automotive market by AMSOIL and AMSOIL is the only company to continue selling it to this day in their SIGNATURE SERIES !ONLY! All other AMSOIL bottles are the same as Mobilone/Quakerstate/Castrol/Royalpurple/etc.etc.. In the sense they are refined crude oil, with a tiny fraction of real PAO base stock mixed in with an additive package, not real synthetic oil but thanks to Mobil 1's law suit it is legally considered "Synthetic oil" Thus to stay competative AMSOIL offers the same product at the increased profit margins like the other companies but maintains its "Signature line" with the original formula with modern additive packages. Hope that enlightens some people, the issue is with "synthetic blend" oils, because if it says "synthetic blend" on the bottle, there is no limits set to how much of the bottle needs to be synthetic or "hydrocracked" crude oil, so companies like Castrol, with their GTX synthetic blend sell a bottle with basically plain conventional oil (crappy at best) mixed with a tiny bit of hydrocracked crude oil to consider it a "synthetic blend" and then during tests if you look barely meet the minimal requirements. Hence why you see AMSOIL consistently in 1st and 2nd place, and not castrol. Or any other brand... unfortunately, because I ran Castrol for years. The same over priced oil that wasn't as the label led me to believe.
Interesting, then why does other AMSOIL oils like the XL etc still say 100% Synthetic on the bottle? And can you provide a link for the information you shared? Thanks! :)
That's great for stationary engines and race engines, but, will those esters foul catalytic converters and oxygen sensors? I have found in many cases, the cars that need to have emission control components replaced, are the ones that consume more oil. I think fouling by components of the oil play a bigger part, than how the car is driven, unless the driving causes higher oil consumption. I'm always trying to find information on line, to see if some EP additive does the same thing as tetra ethylene lead. I know that some oils use zinc for better lubricity, and that might be hard on emission components.
I submitted for an oil analysis on my used engine oil AMSOIL 5-30 OE series with 10,000KM and from the results the oil did not break down or wear out... it's also not worth the increased cost of signature series if your engine is older and burns oil more than usual per oil change, especially if you're following the manufacturers recommended intervals for service. the more expensive oil will evaporate away from defects in worn engines at the same rate that any other oil will.
I was a Royal Purple distributor until a few years ago. I did the load test for customers, many times. At the time, nothing could come close to RP, but Amsoil and RedLine were the closest. They could carry about 60% of the load that RP could, until the Phalex machine seized the test bearings. I'm glad to see that Amsoil is now equal to and exceeding RP. I'm not loyal to a brand, I'm loyal to my equipment. Thanks for another great test.
Only this isn't a proper comparison. This is Royal Purple's base line oil being compared to Amsoil's Signature Series. Try again using an Amsoil base line oil.
Yes, I did mean Falex. It's been awhile since I had my hands on a machine and forgot the correct spelling. Thank you. Falex is a manufacturer of test equipment. I found the only people that disagreed with the test results were those selling or advocating for competitive oils. Some made the same point as you about the operator, so I let the objector actually run the test. Yes, this is not an ASTM test, it is a field test and as long as it is run correctly, the results are at least as accurate and fair as Project Farm's results.
@@alexgomez5107 I don't even look at the mileage, just change it once a year. The oil is rated 25,000 miles of 1 year. I think filter is rated 15,000 miles.

There's so many comments out there saying Amsoil is just marketing garbage, no doubt by people that don't base their comments on anything. It's great to see your unbiased videos showing some real world results. The used oil flow test was amazing. Something that always seems to be left out about lubrication is the need for excellent filtration. Taking it to a ridiculous level, even Amsoil would not be much good if you have some fine abrasive powder in the oil and it's particle size is small enough to pass right through the filter material. I read a white paper on Amsoil lubrication many years ago and it included a lot of talk about both full flow filtration and bypass filtration. Quality full flow filters with high efficiency and also very low micron bypass filtration, where a small percentage (maybe about 10%) of the main oil flow goes through a bypass filter. That filter even removes small soot particle down to about 2 microns, leaving you with extremely clean oil. I think the aim was to have any wear causing particles smaller than the lubricating oil film thickness. Some engines were getting over 1 million miles with such a setup.
@@Gruntsworth - Depends on what aspect you're measuring. While going a couple of rounds with a "knuckle buster", blood can be just as slick as the nasty greasy crap on everything I'm touching. But before long the blood becomes viscous and actually helps me hang on to the tools. ;^)
@@emeltea33 It's likely do to the temperture control built into the griddle. It looks like a simple on-off control scheme, so when it turns the heating element on, the heated side of the plate expands, and when it turns off, it contracts.
The thing is, with purple oil it's always going to look dark and I like to see clear, clean oil. It's one of the deciding factors for changing my engine oil even though it's not all that accurate an indicator.
Bro never check old oil life on the deep stick. Use a white paper towel. The color is just to identify from other liquid colors. 2nd engine wear shavings are easier to pick up with darker colors. You can't see the sparkles with the clear as good.
I just pulled apart a 400k mile engine that's been run on amsoil its entire life and the factory cross hatching was still visible on the cylinder walls!
@@rpanda5269 Amsoil has 20w-50, in fact they have all ranges..., I've been using Amsoil since I got my license in 83', my dad been a dealer since 78'.... Great stuff.. There 2 cycle oil is the best, when my kids race dirt bikes for 6 yrs and every weekend when I open the engines there was no carbon built up compared to other racers where you would have to dremel the carbon build up through the ports....
Amsoil is great stuff. I have a 1988 Escort GT with 389,000 on it now, have used Mobil 1 the entire time. Did a head gasket at 368,000 and still very evident factory hone marks as well. It's all great oil, some is just a little better than the others.
Agree, we need a play off, otherwise how will I know whether to keep using my favorite, or change to a better oil (I just got a new Camero 2SS for which I desire to use the best oil. Was going to spring for Amsoil, but now I'll wait for an overall winner ;)
also the loss of oil after the temperature test was scored by total loss rather than percentage even though they both started with different amounts. Amsoil started with more so it had a disadvantage but it won anyways so no big deal.
I knew AMSOIL was gonna win from the beginning. I’ve been using and been a dealer for over 10 years. They have oils for every kind of Gas or Diesel engine there is.
@@switlikbob1 That's because BMW made it a one oil car. Not Amsoil's fault, and good on them for not claiming something they haven't tested and BMW hasn't tested.
Make sure you use Amsoil's oil filters too, they don't guarantee their oil will last as long without their filter. It's $15 - $20 but I only have to change the Impala's oil once a year, no big deal. $50 vs anywhere from $100 - $150.
Schaeffers oil should be his next test vs amsoil. I use 3 brands. 1st Schaeffers 2nd Amsoil 3rd if I can’t get hands on one of the above is Royal purple
I’ve been using Amsoil in my high revving Mustang GT350 for almost three years now and feel pretty confident about the engine getting good protection. Running perfect so far with 5k oil changes. Thanks for the test..showing Amsoil is an excellent oil for performance engines.
Royal Purple is a group 3 oil and Amsoil is a group 4 oil, Pennzoil Platinum, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Schaeffer's and Valvoline Synthetic would be a good test
@@isaackvasager9957 you have to really REALLY dig. The oil grouping is the dirtyest secret of the oil industry. Group 3 oils are pretty much just distilled conventional. Group 4 are pure, 100% synthetic. Try the MSDS sheet and look for keywords that may indicate grouping.
I've ran both in the 5 speed manual on my turboed Scion xB and I can tell you the shifting feel and response was far better with Redline than Amsoil, which surprised me since I'm a huge fan of Amsoil engine oil.
Amsoil is great stuff, Ive used it plenty. That said, we use Royal Purple at work in an industrial/utility company. When we changed over from conventional lubricants to synthetics the results were shocking. Electric motor bearings running 20-30 degrees cooler. Applications where quarterly oil changes the lubricant would drain out black and chunky, now the oil still looked new. We have gone from quarterly oil changes to yearly. In some cases we dont change at all, just sample and top off. Nothing every breaks from a lubrication problem anymore. The cost savings in material and manpower has been substantial. RP has been great but I'm pretty sure any quality synthetic would give similar results. Synthetic all the way!
I ran both RP and Amsoil Marine 10w40 Oils in my supercharged JetSki. It's a harsh environment for an oil to endure because the engine is usually near red line at top speeds, and my boost pressure is 15+ PSI. Plus you need to account for the moisture salt rich environment. Both were ran to 20 hours which is what Kawasaki recommends with samples sent to blackstone labs.. The results were that the RP didn't hold up anywhere near as well as the Amsoil did. The RP lost viscosity as well where the Amsoil didn't. I am not sure if this lines up with your results, but I wouldn't buy RP before this video, and certainly won't after it.. Thank you for doing this test sir..
i always thought amsoil was better i ran royal p a couple of times in my evo 8 but only when i couldn't get amsiol and i have never put it in my evo x only amsiol
Great video! I thought Amsoil was better, but didn't think it would win EVERY test. Wow. I've been using AMSOIL on every vehicle I've owned. My current vehicle is a 2002 Toyota Tundra. Over 20+ years and 200k miles - still runs like a top.
@@Artecus Using Amsoil, up to 1 year or 10-12k miles. It is guaranteed for up to 25k, but I don't go that far. It is NOT cheap, but changing less frequently saves me time and energy.
@@bluesky7333 How do you feel about changing oil in that long distance interval? I read engineering reports, watch these videos from Scotty Kilmer, the Car Care Nut, who say that modern engines still burn oil, dilute oil with gasoline, which acts as a solvent, score piston cylinders, and still recommend using full synthetic oil but changing every 5,000 miles. I like that you are using Amsoil, I just cannot reconcile that with your distance interval; 10,000 miles seems like a lot of diluted gasoline, burned oil inside. But, you wrote that it saves you from having to change the oil so often, so perhaps for you that is the upside. I change my oil every 4,000 miles, use Valvoline high mileage max life full synthetic, and add a can of oil additive BG MOA PN 115 to it. Maybe I don't quite need to go to Amsoil with my profile?
@@Artecus Let's make sure we're on same page. FULL synthetic is not 100% synthetic. There is a difference. FULL Synthetic is still a blend of synthetic and base oils. AMSOIL is the ONLY oil that is 100% synthetic. I go 10,000 miles or thereabouts, but note that AMSOIL GUARANTEES UP TO 25,000 MILE INTERVALS. If going up that high they recommend their filter, because it catches much smaller particles. I have only had 3 cars (all used) in the last 25 years. The total cost for all 3 was $20,000. I wouldn't do what I do if I was a new car every 3 years kind of guy. I've had my used Tundra now for 16 years. It has been my daily driver the whole time.
This is one of the best impartial and ‘real’ tests of any oil products I have seen. Hats off to you sir, made me a believer, wish I would have started looking at these videos sooner.
no matter how good an oil is it still gets dirty which is why I don’t believe in 10k or longer change intervals. it’s better (in my opinion) to do 2 Mobil 1, Pennzoil Ultra, Royal Purple etc. in 10k than 1 Amsoil.
There are so many independent tests on oil done in Russia I am returning to this video from one where Amsoil showed itself very very poorly in a more advanced and professional test
I like Amsoil and currently have it in my truck after years of using RP, But I'll being going back and sticking to Royal Purple after seeing other reviews with Blackstone Oil analysis tests. Royal purple typically has an edge on other brands when it comes down to it. I'll keep it in mind that when I decide to trek up around northern Canada and Alaska to switch back to Amsoil during the winter though.
@@butterytoast4836 I have seen dozens of Oil analysis tests official certified testing labs. AMSOIL beat all the others in 90% of them. Furthermore, running a AMSOIL ByPass Filtration System provides even greater protection & longevity.
I use full synthetic in my 91.5 Dodge Cummins and gained 1/2 mpg running mountain interstate 18,000 lbs but our 96 5.9 gas didn't like synthetic so it gets 40 weight non synthetic and picked up 1 mpg but I do use Lucas oil additive synthetic and regular in both vehicles maybe overkill but they use less than 1/2 quart between 5000 mile oil changes and these vehicles are not babied running the Appalachian mountains
Used to swear by it for turbo vehicles******** They removed the zinc and some other additives in the rotella t6 so it's not as good for turbo vehicles anymore.
@@Kyrazlan They did something to it. That shit flattened my cam in 2 weeks. Was chasing lash till I changed the oil and ticked horribly bad. When I changed it out it stopping grinding my cam but still ticked a tiny bit but it was already fucked. Never again T6, I wouldn't even use it in a oil burning stove.
You've done this with other products, I imagine this video didn't have it because of testing limitations, not to mention the amount of time this must suck out of your life. It would be hilarious to have these 2 premium products tested in a batch with gas station conventional. Run down to QT or wherever and pick up a bottle of the sludge they have next to the counter and run it next to the big boys. I think it would give some good appreciation of "you get what you pay for" Absolutely amazing videos man, thank you so much for the content!
I'm doing a long term test with a 2009 Toyota Matrix I purchased brand new with the 1.8L with Amsoil signature series. After the initial oil from the factory was removed at 5k, I put in the Amsoil and go according to their schedule of 25k or less w/filter OR 1 year. I do check my oil almost every fill up and do have minor consumption (perhaps 1 quart every 10k or so). Every 2 oil changes or so I send my oil to be analyzed at the lab. Results thus far have been good for oil quality to date and running condition of the car (120k, driven daily, but obviously never that far). This proves to me the Amsoil is working. I also do not make many short trips, nor do I drive on the highway much. I live on Cape Cod and the temp here rarely goes below 30 degrees F.
Wow, RP got its butt kicked. I do believe it's a good product, but I also believe it may be overrated. Awesome test. I really liked that you tested the flow after cooking too. I believe I suggested that last vid. You def listen to viewers. I am interested in a bracket showdown for oils. Pennzoil and Castrol would be on my list. Keep up the great work!
It's good to see the testing performed to demonstrate the actual outcome of the oils we all use in our vehicles. I'll take the Amsoil oil over any brand for my vehicles. Thanks again.
@@ProjectFarm I would Love a Brake Oil Test video if you could figure out a way to make one!. I'm in the market for the best brake fluid for my vintage motorcycle due to not having an ABS system installed. Would love to see if aftermarket brake fluid really outperform OEM Dot recommended ones
Dirt in the oil is what wears an engine out, not bad motor oil. I would NEVER go 25k between oil changes regardless of what brand of oil I was using!🤔 Absolutely great video, kudos for all your hard work.
You have to use a Amsoil filter with the signature oils to get the Amsoil warranty (filters filter down to 20 microns that's why the oil can last 25,000 miles)
These videos on YT are gold. Great wealth of info on Motor Oils! I don't run my 14 Jeep JK hard until I get into driving on the trails. I use AMSOIL, but since the prices are sky high, i might run Amazon Basics Synthetic Oil in my rig until I decide to hit the trails then change back to AMSOIL. I have faith in his oil suggestions, but thanks to viewers suggestions👍
I used Amsoil over 10 yrs on my 01 4runner, and prices got ridiculous. about 1.5 yrs ago. I switched to Valvoline Extended with a Napa Platinum filter. My car has 430 K runs smooth.
I wanted to thank you for all that you do. These tests are not cheap to do and on top of that all the editing you have to do. I've watched so many of your videos and love them. Also thank you for your service.
I was an AmsOil Dealer back in the mid-1980's and I still swear by it for ALL uses. One of my bigger sellers was the 2 Stroke Oil. One Can with One Mixture Ratio (100:1 iirc) for all your 2 Stroke engines saves having to label each can for each machine. One can will serve them all. More importantly is the performance gain. Many Boaters (from fishing boats to hi-performance skier pulling boats) explained that the first tank of gas saw a decrease in engine performance but by the 2nd tank, the performance not only returned but increased significantly such that to this day, they continue to use AmsOil 2 Stroke Oil. It was determined the the first can or tank of gas (mixed obviously) cleaned out lots of gunk that had built up over time and subsequently ran much better. If I weren't so crippled, I'd likely become a dealer again.
What I would like to see as far as oil is concerned: is there a significant difference between regular motor oil and high mileage motor oil. Is it just a sales gimmick or does it really perform as advertised?
Most high mileage oil just means that it has specific purpose additives ie. to help worn rubber seals that are getting leaky after some mileage. Can't say that it performs measurably better but seeing "high mileage" keeps the guy at Walmart with 100k+ from picking some super thin full syn that he'll leak/burn through like crazy
While the oil may work for a long time, oil and dirt make a grinding compound... If the oil filter did a 100 % good job, the oil would not change color. If we had a filter that would take all the dirt and associated color out of the oil, then in my opinion high mileage oils would be a good thing. Things to think about...
You read my mind, when oil is dirty that means there is junk in the oil that can't be good for an engine.I don't follow the manufacturers recommended oil change intervals and that includes full synthetic....at around 3 - 4 k miles I will check my oil and if it's dark and smells dirty..I change it.Most of my driving is around town meaning a lot of stop and go. @@willybee3056
@@clevelandmatheson983 Thanks for the reply. Back In the 50s, when a car was junk at 60k miles, dad ran a garage, and would recommend that oil should be changed every 3k miles. I started out when Valvolen Racing was 50 cents a quart. I have had 3 cars that had 250k miles when I sold them. Any how,,, thanks for the reply. ....
It would have been interesting to see a third middle grade oil compared to these two top tier oils just to see what we're getting for the extra money. My local parts store told me I was getting scammed buying Amsoil back in 1983. A couple years later they apologized and admitted that they were mistaken. Thanks Todd! Keep up the good work!
You can get away with just about any oil in the correct weight as long as you change it reguraly . I didn't mean to start a war here but if RP is good enough to create a fuss over Amsoil maybe it's at least number 2 . I think Redline has missed the testing phase . It may be up there in the top two . Everybody is putting a lot of cards in one deck with this testing and Farm is pretty good so far . Just saying.
Amsoil is a great oil. Had my dad switch from delo about 5 years ago in his Peterbilt. He said he gained mpg (only about 1 but he averages about 7) and ran the oil much longer than delo. Highly recommend looking at their membership as well if you plan to buy, much cheaper
Welllllll I guess my oil changes just got a little more expensive haha! It's worth it! Thanks for this video, I've always ran royal purple. Never had a problem with it, but seeing is believing and now I've seen something better ! Much appreciated!
I know this is old but I've been running Amsoil fluids for about 15 years now. I do one oil change a year for each car with their fluid and filter combo. Amazing company with amazing products from our great Wisconsin neighbors.
It was 1985, temp by my house was -5F. (The coldest it has been where I live in my lifetime) We had 2 identical Toyota Celicas with manual transmissions. 1 had amsoil in the transmission. 1 had regular MTF. I had to move both of these cars to finish shoveling my driveway. The amsoil car was put in gear right away with slightly more resistance than normal. The regular MTF car needed 10 minutes with the engine running just to be able to move the gear selector at all. That sold me on amsoil. While today’s regular oils are probably better than amsoil from 1985, it doesn’t shock me that they still make a superior product.
For the vaporization and mass test, rather than comparing the weight lost for each, you should compare a percent loss. For this test the AMS oil had a change of 0.82% and the Royal Purple changed by 1.07%.
I love your tests. It sort of reminds me of the good old days when I used to read Consumer Reports tests on all kinds of important products. You really do do a great job
Thank you very much! I enjoyed your latest laundry detergent video a lot! You've got an AWESOME channel! I'll be changing brands for sure. Thanks again!
Would like to see you rest motorcycle oil one being Harley Davidson oil . Thanks fir testing . This is the first video I watched from you but won’t e the last . Thanks again
From what I gathered both are excellent and easily the top 2 oils in the world which is why they are compared here. if ur in a colder climate id run amsoil. But for me I live near the equator, so i would get whichever is cheaper. Thats a win win for us and just makes sense for me.
I have been using Amsoil in my 2002 7.3L Diesel Excursion right after I watched the dealer install the wrong oil on the first oil change. Still going strong and since installing an FS2500 oil bypass filter, even better. The FS2500 was about the only one available when installing the bypass filter in those early days. 👍👍👍. 12-21-21
Have you ever tested any Castor racing oils ? Yes, primarily used in racing two stroke engines, but I think the lubricity test will be amazing. Sadly, they are Thicker , like Sae 30 and burn dirty, as well as not flowing well . They can also separate from gas with a lower specific gravity, like the VP 110 that my vintage air cooled two strokes use. How about a two stroke oil test focusing on racing Castor ? Maybe two pure Castors like Blendzall Gold Label and Klotz Be -Nol And two synthetic /Castor blends like Maxima Castor 927 and Klotz R50 Super Techniplate? Instead of the cold flow test , mix each with a race fuel like VP C12 or similar and cool the pre mix to 40 degrees Fahrenheit to see which separates?
@OBServe Garage certain standards are not the same as same standards. Over the course of a year we'll spend about the same money, I'll spend less time, and my vehicle will have been better protected. It is also a modded ecoboost mustang. Di turbo engines really have drastically better performance and longevity with a quality oil.
Please add pennzoil ultra platinum and pennzoil platinum to the roster! Also perhaps liqui-moly engine oil. And I still would love to see testing on No More Friction (NMF) oil additive.
shawn d sounds like you might've had other issues and perhaps the pennzoil's high amount of detergent (from what I hear) loosened up some things? 🤷🏼♂️ I'm guessing your timing chain tensioner blew out because your timing chain was too stretched
This man knows how to run a test! Wow, excellent work! I've been using Amsoil products for decades, along with oil analysis at every oil change on all my vehicles with fantastic results. I became a lifetime dealer back in the 80's just so I could buy it at dealer cost as I have zero interest in retail sales. Amway burned me out on on that a long time ago...
@@bobiseverywhere It's a dye. The creator of Royal Purple, John Williams, used to work for Union 76, where he developed a motor oil called Royal Triton. It was dyed purple as a marketing gimmick. After Union 76 changed hands, he left the company and went independent. He tried to purchase the rights for the Royal Triton brand to market his new synthetic oil under, but was unable to secure the trademark or licensing, so he renamed it "Royal Purple".
Ran Royal Purple for 2 years. Should have known from high UOA reads. Engine lasted 60Mm before leakdown hit 30%. Red Line went 200Mm in the same motor; didn't even hit 20%. Amsoil is still running. Never touching that RP garbage again.
This is another case of paying more /= better quality. It's like going to the dealer for a repair when you could go to an independent mechanic for 1/4 the cost with better quality work.
I ran one Hino jo8c engine on Hino oil and one on Amsoil. Bloody wish i ran Amsoil in both the hino oil was very worn at 550,000 km's and the other is still like new with 600,000 km's. We live and learn i guess.
Randorn Canis what is UOA? Also, what is Mm? Is 60Mm 60 million miles? Minutes? Meters? I would be interested to hear more context. What kind of engines are you running and are these dedicated test engines or are they in service, etc?
Thank you all very much for suggesting this video idea. I look forward to your suggestions for other ideas in the future. Best regards, Todd

I had heard royal purple was “the best” by some peoples anecdotes, and so I started using it in my vehicle. That new and “cooked” cold flow test really blew me away. I might be switching to Amsoil now
Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, I did the same.
I will still continue to use Royal Purple for its detergent/cleaning properties! Engines that are taken apart after using it are unbelievably clean! I have very strict "what to use, what not to use" issues with the BMW M4. I will always still remain mindful of making sure I always give proper warmup time. The cold flow also really surprised me! You cannot go wrong with either of them! More wear/tear will be done via driving style/use/proper abuse VS just coming down to which oil you choose!
In conclusion.. this guy goes all out with these tests and its freaking awesome seeing how large his channel and subscriber base has gotton! GREAT STUFF!
@@ProjectFarm Your testing runs with my findings. I bought a 2012 BMW Alpina B7 and alternated Amsoil and RP every 10k miles with a 3k washout in between using BMW recommended Castrol. I gave each oil 5 runs of 10k each so a grand total of 100k testing miles. Results were as follows: Amsoil consistantly had lower burnoff and less metals content in (ppm) than RP. RP had consistently better mpg and carbon buildup(visual inspection of cylinder heads) than Amsoil. I concluded at 140k that each of these oils "proprietary" blend is designed to do something different!!! Amsoil obviously has something in it that increases stability at high temps. RP obviously has something in it that reduces friction. Thanks for posting your findings!
@@SOMNIOHM I have a 270k+ mile Subie that runs better after using royal purple for this reason.
When I used to build race cars and engines our shop Z06 right around 600whp and 550ftlbs. On the road course mobile 1 lasted 1.5 20 min sessions before breaking down and sending oil temps through the roof. Royal purple lasted 3-4 sessions and redline would go the whole day but not another track day. Amsoil lasted multiple track days including numerous top speed blasts, 1/4 mile passes and normal street driving.
MthrFknMike Signature Series?
@@matt7sixty yes the signature series. All new engines would get their break in oil for initial start, tuning and the first 500 miles. Then we would switch to the sig series.
MthrFknMike Have you tried the Dominator Racing Amsoil?
@@matt7sixty I have not. I don't think it was out at the time.
The problem I see with this test is he is using RP's entry level API oil and not their mid level or top line oils. Amsoil signature is in the top of Amsoils line up. RP now has HPS their mid level oil and XPR which is their full racing oil. the HPS is the stating point were you get their special additive, since they have been bought out. That means the cheaper API oil off wal-mart or box store auto parts stores do not come with Synerlec®. It also has higher zinc and other additives like the Amsoil.
I can see you in the store buying the griddle.
Sales person:
“This griddle is the best non stick there is.”

“That doesn’t matter I only cook oil.”

Its because AMSOIL SIGNATURE SERIES uses (PAO base stock) mixed with an (ESTER base stock) the ONLY other oil brand to use ESTERs in 2019 is Redline, because of the extremely high cost, the issue is an ESTER oil by itself absorbs a lot of moisture much like brake fluid does. So for racing applications where the oil is changed daily or per race, its the best option for lubrication. But in the application of daily transportation you require PAO mixed with it to block the moisture out. A massive percentage of "synthetic" oils on the market are crude oil base stock heavily refined in a process called hydro-cracking(this legally is considered synthetic oil), a TINY percentage of the "synthetic" oils on the market are a mixture of PAO and ESTER base. Hence why AMSOIL is un-beatable in automotive transportation application, and machinery applications including; Jet engines. MOBIL 1 used to sell the same product as AMSOIL and did away with it, because the cost didn't yield enough profit margin. But true PAO and ESTER based oils have been around for a very very long time, but were 1st brought to the automotive market by AMSOIL and AMSOIL is the only company to continue selling it to this day in their SIGNATURE SERIES !ONLY! All other AMSOIL bottles are the same as Mobilone/Quakerstate/Castrol/Royalpurple/etc.etc.. In the sense they are refined crude oil, with a tiny fraction of real PAO base stock mixed in with an additive package, not real synthetic oil but thanks to Mobil 1's law suit it is legally considered "Synthetic oil" Thus to stay competative AMSOIL offers the same product at the increased profit margins like the other companies but maintains its "Signature line" with the original formula with modern additive packages. Hope that enlightens some people, the issue is with "synthetic blend" oils, because if it says "synthetic blend" on the bottle, there is no limits set to how much of the bottle needs to be synthetic or "hydrocracked" crude oil, so companies like Castrol, with their GTX synthetic blend sell a bottle with basically plain conventional oil (crappy at best) mixed with a tiny bit of hydrocracked crude oil to consider it a "synthetic blend" and then during tests if you look barely meet the minimal requirements. Hence why you see AMSOIL consistently in 1st and 2nd place, and not castrol. Or any other brand... unfortunately, because I ran Castrol for years. The same over priced oil that wasn't as the label led me to believe.
Interesting, then why does other AMSOIL oils like the XL etc still say 100% Synthetic on the bottle? And can you provide a link for the information you shared? Thanks! :)
What about schaefers?
That's great for stationary engines and race engines, but, will those esters foul catalytic converters and oxygen sensors? I have found in many cases, the cars that need to have emission control components replaced, are the ones that consume more oil. I think fouling by components of the oil play a bigger part, than how the car is driven, unless the driving causes higher oil consumption. I'm always trying to find information on line, to see if some EP additive does the same thing as tetra ethylene lead. I know that some oils use zinc for better lubricity, and that might be hard on emission components.
Dammit...I went cheap on my last Amsoil purchase by not getting Signature Series. I won't make that mistake again.
I submitted for an oil analysis on my used engine oil AMSOIL 5-30 OE series with 10,000KM and from the results the oil did not break down or wear out... it's also not worth the increased cost of signature series if your engine is older and burns oil more than usual per oil change, especially if you're following the manufacturers recommended intervals for service. the more expensive oil will evaporate away from defects in worn engines at the same rate that any other oil will.
I was a Royal Purple distributor until a few years ago. I did the load test for customers, many times. At the time, nothing could come close to RP, but Amsoil and RedLine were the closest. They could carry about 60% of the load that RP could, until the Phalex machine seized the test bearings. I'm glad to see that Amsoil is now equal to and exceeding RP. I'm not loyal to a brand, I'm loyal to my equipment. Thanks for another great test.
Thank you!
Only this isn't a proper comparison. This is Royal Purple's base line oil being compared to Amsoil's Signature Series. Try again using an Amsoil base line oil.
MiltDaddy Dollas Or to Royal Purple HPS
Yes, I did mean Falex. It's been awhile since I had my hands on a machine and forgot the correct spelling. Thank you. Falex is a manufacturer of test equipment.

Some made the same point as you about the operator, so I let the objector actually run the test. Yes, this is not an ASTM test, it is a field test and as long as it is run correctly, the results are at least as accurate and fair as Project Farm's results.

Best part of waking up, is AMSoil in your cup!
There's so many comments out there saying Amsoil is just marketing garbage, no doubt by people that don't base their comments on anything. It's great to see your unbiased videos showing some real world results. The used oil flow test was amazing.
Something that always seems to be left out about lubrication is the need for excellent filtration. Taking it to a ridiculous level, even Amsoil would not be much good if you have some fine abrasive powder in the oil and it's particle size is small enough to pass right through the filter material.
I read a white paper on Amsoil lubrication many years ago and it included a lot of talk about both full flow filtration and bypass filtration. Quality full flow filters with high efficiency and also very low micron bypass filtration, where a small percentage (maybe about 10%) of the main oil flow goes through a bypass filter. That filter even removes small soot particle down to about 2 microns, leaving you with extremely clean oil. I think the aim was to have any wear causing particles smaller than the lubricating oil film thickness. Some engines were getting over 1 million miles with such a setup.
Thanks!

weird flex but ok
I saw it too! Was curious if that was actual? Can't think of why not, just expansion and contraction I'd guess.
@@emeltea33 It's likely do to the temperture control built into the griddle. It looks like a simple on-off control scheme, so when it turns the heating element on, the heated side of the plate expands, and when it turns off, it contracts.

The thing is, with purple oil it's always going to look dark and I like to see clear, clean oil. It's one of the deciding factors for changing my engine oil even though it's not all that accurate an indicator.
Thanks for the feedback.
Agreed. My odometer has been broken since my manual trans swap and I always use the oil color as an indicator
That's exactly why I stopped using Royal Purple. You can't gauge how burnt or dirty it is, they should have tinted a light purple instead maybe???
And especially when I used Arco Graphite Oil a long time ago. But with the diesel we now drive, the oil turns black rather quickly!
Bro never check old oil life on the deep stick. Use a white paper towel. The color is just to identify from other liquid colors. 2nd engine wear shavings are easier to pick up with darker colors. You can't see the sparkles with the clear as good.
I just pulled apart a 400k mile engine that's been run on amsoil its entire life and the factory cross hatching was still visible on the cylinder walls!

I run RedLine in my awd aswell. Would also love to see a test.
Amsoil is great stuff, Ive used it plenty. That said, we use Royal Purple at work in an industrial/utility company. When we changed over from conventional lubricants to synthetics the results were shocking. Electric motor bearings running 20-30 degrees cooler. Applications where quarterly oil changes the lubricant would drain out black and chunky, now the oil still looked new. We have gone from quarterly oil changes to yearly. In some cases we dont change at all, just sample and top off. Nothing every breaks from a lubrication problem anymore. The cost savings in material and manpower has been substantial. RP has been great but I'm pretty sure any quality synthetic would give similar results. Synthetic all the way!
Thanks for the feedback.
I'm looking forward to the Project Farm champion badge on products soon!
Thank you!
I ran both RP and Amsoil Marine 10w40 Oils in my supercharged JetSki. It's a harsh environment for an oil to endure because the engine is usually near red line at top speeds, and my boost pressure is 15+ PSI. Plus you need to account for the moisture salt rich environment. Both were ran to 20 hours which is what Kawasaki recommends with samples sent to blackstone labs.. The results were that the RP didn't hold up anywhere near as well as the Amsoil did. The RP lost viscosity as well where the Amsoil didn't. I am not sure if this lines up with your results, but I wouldn't buy RP before this video, and certainly won't after it.. Thank you for doing this test sir..

How often do you change the oil in the Tundra?
@@Artecus Using Amsoil, up to 1 year or 10-12k miles. It is guaranteed for up to 25k, but I don't go that far. It is NOT cheap, but changing less frequently saves me time and energy.
@@bluesky7333 How do you feel about changing oil in that long distance interval? I read engineering reports, watch these videos from Scotty Kilmer, the Car Care Nut, who say that modern engines still burn oil, dilute oil with gasoline, which acts as a solvent, score piston cylinders, and still recommend using full synthetic oil but changing every 5,000 miles. I like that you are using Amsoil, I just cannot reconcile that with your distance interval; 10,000 miles seems like a lot of diluted gasoline, burned oil inside. But, you wrote that it saves you from having to change the oil so often, so perhaps for you that is the upside. I change my oil every 4,000 miles, use Valvoline high mileage max life full synthetic, and add a can of oil additive BG MOA PN 115 to it. Maybe I don't quite need to go to Amsoil with my profile?
@@Artecus Let's make sure we're on same page. FULL synthetic is not 100% synthetic. There is a difference. FULL Synthetic is still a blend of synthetic and base oils. AMSOIL is the ONLY oil that is 100% synthetic. I go 10,000 miles or thereabouts, but note that AMSOIL GUARANTEES UP TO 25,000 MILE INTERVALS. If going up that high they recommend their filter, because it catches much smaller particles.
I have only had 3 cars (all used) in the last 25 years. The total cost for all 3 was $20,000. I wouldn't do what I do if I was a new car every 3 years kind of guy. I've had my used Tundra now for 16 years. It has been my daily driver the whole time.
This is one of the best impartial and ‘real’ tests of any oil products I have seen. Hats off to you sir, made me a believer, wish I would have started looking at these videos sooner.
Thank you very much!
no matter how good an oil is it still gets dirty which is why I don’t believe in 10k or longer change intervals. it’s better (in my opinion) to do 2 Mobil 1, Pennzoil Ultra, Royal Purple etc. in 10k than 1 Amsoil.
I am up for the Oil Playoffs ! Maybe some new "test" ?
Great recommendation! As the playoff continues, the test intensity will increase.
(testing intensifies) 😝
Me too. What are the odds? Gentlemen, place your bets!
Cool. Idea heat it. Kool aid
@@ProjectFarm more expensive oils could be given a handicap proportional to their higher price
Glad to see someone doing independent tests on the oils out there
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
There are so many independent tests on oil done in Russia I am returning to this video from one where Amsoil showed itself very very poorly in a more advanced and professional test
I like Amsoil and currently have it in my truck after years of using RP, But I'll being going back and sticking to Royal Purple after seeing other reviews with Blackstone Oil analysis tests. Royal purple typically has an edge on other brands when it comes down to it. I'll keep it in mind that when I decide to trek up around northern Canada and Alaska to switch back to Amsoil during the winter though.
Thanks for sharing.
What is the Blaskstone test?
@@TRUTHISABSOLUTE777 oil analysis company. They give you actual results of how an oil is performing and the health of your engine.
@@butterytoast4836 I have seen dozens of Oil analysis tests official certified testing labs. AMSOIL beat all the others in 90% of them. Furthermore, running a AMSOIL ByPass Filtration System provides even greater protection & longevity.
You should test shell rotella since everyone that uses it in their gasoline engine swears by it
I use full synthetic in my 91.5 Dodge Cummins and gained 1/2 mpg running mountain interstate 18,000 lbs but our 96 5.9 gas didn't like synthetic so it gets 40 weight non synthetic and picked up 1 mpg but I do use Lucas oil additive synthetic and regular in both vehicles maybe overkill but they use less than 1/2 quart between 5000 mile oil changes and these vehicles are not babied running the Appalachian mountains
Used to swear by it for turbo vehicles******** They removed the zinc and some other additives in the rotella t6 so it's not as good for turbo vehicles anymore.
@@Kyrazlan They did something to it. That shit flattened my cam in 2 weeks. Was chasing lash till I changed the oil and ticked horribly bad. When I changed it out it stopping grinding my cam but still ticked a tiny bit but it was already fucked. Never again T6, I wouldn't even use it in a oil burning stove.
Brotella lol.
I have rotella T6 in my boosted car right now - a lot of people have said it's not as good but it seems to do the trick at 500+hp

What about the cooked oil bearing test? How would being cooked affect the wear on the bearing? Fantastic comparison, as always. Keep it up!
Thank you for the video idea!
You've done this with other products, I imagine this video didn't have it because of testing limitations, not to mention the amount of time this must suck out of your life. It would be hilarious to have these 2 premium products tested in a batch with gas station conventional. Run down to QT or wherever and pick up a bottle of the sludge they have next to the counter and run it next to the big boys. I think it would give some good appreciation of "you get what you pay for"
Absolutely amazing videos man, thank you so much for the content!
That's an excellent suggestion
I would be okay in seeing the bearing test towards the end of the testing process/video also when you have both cooked and new oil.
Perhaps another variable would be to do the cook test / bearing test, then Ron the cooled oil through a filter and see if the bearing test changes.
I'm doing a long term test with a 2009 Toyota Matrix I purchased brand new with the 1.8L with Amsoil signature series. After the initial oil from the factory was removed at 5k, I put in the Amsoil and go according to their schedule of 25k or less w/filter OR 1 year. I do check my oil almost every fill up and do have minor consumption (perhaps 1 quart every 10k or so). Every 2 oil changes or so I send my oil to be analyzed at the lab. Results thus far have been good for oil quality to date and running condition of the car (120k, driven daily, but obviously never that far). This proves to me the Amsoil is working. I also do not make many short trips, nor do I drive on the highway much. I live on Cape Cod and the temp here rarely goes below 30 degrees F.
Thanks for the feedback.
Wow, RP got its butt kicked. I do believe it's a good product, but I also believe it may be overrated. Awesome test.
I really liked that you tested the flow after cooking too. I believe I suggested that last vid. You def listen to viewers.
I am interested in a bracket showdown for oils. Pennzoil and Castrol would be on my list. Keep up the great work!
Hey other scotty
Thank you very much! Great recommendations from viewers on making improvements. Thanks again!
@@tacoman864 Hahaha hello. Tacos are my fav.
Definitely interested in castrol as well since I use the European formula in my car
@@ProjectFarm in laboratories they use oil baths to ensure even consistent heat...you're just heating the part touching the griddle.
It's good to see the testing performed to demonstrate the actual outcome of the oils we all use in our vehicles. I'll take the Amsoil oil over any brand for my vehicles. Thanks again.
You are welcome!
Thanks for taking the time and commitment to continue these videos. I really love your videos!
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm I would Love a Brake Oil Test video if you could figure out a way to make one!. I'm in the market for the best brake fluid for my vintage motorcycle due to not having an ABS system installed. Would love to see if aftermarket brake fluid really outperform OEM Dot recommended ones
Your'e bored and need adult supervision . Watch the next session!
Dirt in the oil is what wears an engine out, not bad motor oil. I would NEVER go 25k between oil changes regardless of what brand of oil I was using!🤔 Absolutely great video, kudos for all your hard work.
Thank you!
You have to use a Amsoil filter with the signature oils to get the Amsoil warranty (filters filter down to 20 microns that's why the oil can last 25,000 miles)
Not so much dirt as it is deposits from the combustion process.
@@davegreen344 I used an amsoil signature 5w30 after 3 months the oil seems dirty colored brown, is it normal? I use the car everyday in city only
@@rpanda5269 Yes, that what heat does to the color, completely normal.
I was gonna shell out for Royal Purple on my next oil change but looks like I'll be springing for Amsoil. Great video!
Thanks so much! Thanks for sharing.
If it feels right marry it.
You may after you see the new results sir.
Good choice. Amsoil is good stuff.
I'm now onboard with Amsoil. Great work this guy does!
Not only did we see that Amsoil is the better oil we also learned that Oster Girddles are alive and can breathe.
lol. Thank you
I thought I was the only one! 😂😂
Oh thank you for saying that, I was totally surprised by that griddle. That is something you could ONLY notice at high speed!
😂😂😂😂😂ROFL
OMG😂
Great work as always! Hats off to Royal Purple for making a quality oil but I'm sticking with Amsoil. For life.
Mineral . Let that part sink in . Redline if your edge of the envelope.
These videos on YT are gold. Great wealth of info on Motor Oils! I don't run my 14 Jeep JK hard until I get into driving on the trails. I use AMSOIL, but since the prices are sky high, i might run Amazon Basics Synthetic Oil in my rig until I decide to hit the trails then change back to AMSOIL. I have faith in his oil suggestions, but thanks to viewers suggestions👍
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
I used Amsoil over 10 yrs on my 01 4runner, and prices got ridiculous. about 1.5 yrs ago. I switched to Valvoline Extended with a Napa Platinum filter. My car has 430 K runs smooth.
Do you use 5w20 or 5w30?
I'm thinking about using 5w20 in my 13 JK.
What brand filter do you use?
What filters are good?
@@joshuajones8505 stick with 5w30 and use Wix XP or purlator filters

Great job Project Farm! Keep it going!
Thank you for the video idea!
I wanted to thank you for all that you do. These tests are not cheap to do and on top of that all the editing you have to do. I've watched so many of your videos and love them. Also thank you for your service.
Thank you very much!
The amount of time, effort, and attention to detail you put into these videos is amazing.
Thank you
I was an AmsOil Dealer back in the mid-1980's and I still swear by it for ALL uses.
One of my bigger sellers was the 2 Stroke Oil. One Can with One Mixture Ratio (100:1 iirc) for all your 2 Stroke engines saves having to label each can for each machine. One can will serve them all. More importantly is the performance gain. Many Boaters (from fishing boats to hi-performance skier pulling boats) explained that the first tank of gas saw a decrease in engine performance but by the 2nd tank, the performance not only returned but increased significantly such that to this day, they continue to use AmsOil 2 Stroke Oil.
It was determined the the first can or tank of gas (mixed obviously) cleaned out lots of gunk that had built up over time and subsequently ran much better.
If I weren't so crippled, I'd likely become a dealer again.
Thanks for sharing.
Love your low cost but very scientific tests. You are one sharp dude. Thanks for keeping your comments clean and helpful. God bless you
What I would like to see as far as oil is concerned: is there a significant difference between regular motor oil and high mileage motor oil. Is it just a sales gimmick or does it really perform as advertised?
Most high mileage oil just means that it has specific purpose additives ie. to help worn rubber seals that are getting leaky after some mileage.
Can't say that it performs measurably better but seeing "high mileage" keeps the guy at Walmart with 100k+ from picking some super thin full syn that he'll leak/burn through like crazy
While the oil may work for a long time, oil and dirt make a grinding compound...
If the oil filter did a 100 % good job, the oil would not change color.
If we had a filter that would take all the dirt and associated color out of the oil, then in my opinion high mileage oils would be a good thing.
Things to think about...
You read my mind, when oil is dirty that means there is junk in the oil that can't be good for an engine.I don't follow the manufacturers recommended oil change intervals and that includes full synthetic....at around 3 - 4 k miles I will check my oil and if it's dark and smells dirty..I change it.Most of my driving is around town meaning a lot of stop and go. @@willybee3056
Thank you for the video idea!
@@clevelandmatheson983
Thanks for the reply.
Back In the 50s, when a car was junk at 60k miles, dad ran a garage, and would recommend that oil should be changed every 3k miles.
I started out when Valvolen Racing was 50 cents a quart. I have had 3 cars that had 250k miles when I sold them.
Any how,,, thanks for the reply. ....
It would have been interesting to see a third middle grade oil compared to these two top tier oils just to see what we're getting for the extra money.
My local parts store told me I was getting scammed buying Amsoil back in 1983.
A couple years later they apologized and admitted that they were mistaken.
Thanks Todd!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the suggestion.
You can get away with just about any oil in the correct weight as long as you change it reguraly . I didn't mean to start a war here but if RP is good enough to create a fuss over Amsoil maybe it's at least number 2 . I think Redline has missed the testing phase . It may be up there in the top two . Everybody is putting a lot of cards in one deck with this testing and Farm is pretty good so far . Just saying.
Amsoil is a great oil. Had my dad switch from delo about 5 years ago in his Peterbilt. He said he gained mpg (only about 1 but he averages about 7) and ran the oil much longer than delo. Highly recommend looking at their membership as well if you plan to buy, much cheaper
Thanks for the feedback.
Yup. It's been proven. I did mine with RP. So in the long run it comes out cheaper
Welllllll I guess my oil changes just got a little more expensive haha! It's worth it! Thanks for this video, I've always ran royal purple. Never had a problem with it, but seeing is believing and now I've seen something better ! Much appreciated!
Thanks so much!
Not really more expensive. Regular oil change life is 3,000 miles. Do the math
Not if they save your motor, plus you can extend OCI with Amsoil.
@@davidcaprio8919better to change oil more frequently..

But how one oil for 1 year ? How many miles u running?
@@bahrozgalaly5662 I've ran it to 15k but I usually do 10k or a year. I should have clarified that, I don't put on a ton of miles.
@@bahrozgalaly5662 10-15k a year. I have a few cars I alternate between so none of them see a lot of miles.

MrDengo999 I dunno man, i like my coffee like my women. Dark and thicc.
@@ChuckBeefOG I think we can all agree on that
It was 1985, temp by my house was -5F. (The coldest it has been where I live in my lifetime) We had 2 identical Toyota Celicas with manual transmissions. 1 had amsoil in the transmission. 1 had regular MTF. I had to move both of these cars to finish shoveling my driveway. The amsoil car was put in gear right away with slightly more resistance than normal. The regular MTF car needed 10 minutes with the engine running just to be able to move the gear selector at all. That sold me on amsoil. While today’s regular oils are probably better than amsoil from 1985, it doesn’t shock me that they still make a superior product.
For the vaporization and mass test, rather than comparing the weight lost for each, you should compare a percent loss. For this test the AMS oil had a change of 0.82% and the Royal Purple changed by 1.07%.
Thank you for the video idea!
I love your tests. It sort of reminds me of the good old days when I used to read Consumer Reports tests on all kinds of important products. You really do do a great job
Thank you!!
CONSUMER R, STILL DOES
You said do do. Hahahaha
Been using AMSOIL For 8 years now . With good results
People like this are so damn valuable today! I’m 32 and so many guys 25

@@ProjectFarm so do you use amsoil in your own vehicle
Would like to see you rest motorcycle oil one being Harley Davidson oil . Thanks fir testing . This is the first video I watched from you but won’t e the last . Thanks again
From what I gathered both are excellent and easily the top 2 oils in the world which is why they are compared here. if ur in a colder climate id run amsoil. But for me I live near the equator, so i would get whichever is cheaper. Thats a win win for us and just makes sense for me.
I’ve been using Amsoil on all my vehicles since 1995. Not one single engine problem in 25 years. Fantastic product
Thanks for sharing!
This is why I have been using Amsoil since 1975.
Nuff said.
Im really impressed with your ability to not spill a drop of oil. Thanks for the video
Thanks and you are welcome!
I love how many cylinder heads you have in the background of this video. Its like a trophy room of destruction.
I have been using Amsoil in my 2002 7.3L Diesel Excursion right after I watched the dealer install the wrong oil on the first oil change. Still going strong and since installing an FS2500 oil bypass filter, even better. The FS2500 was about the only one available when installing the bypass filter in those early days. 👍👍👍. 12-21-21
Thanks for sharing.
Can u please test Amsoil Signature vs. Amsoil XL vs. Amsoil OE. Really like what you are doing, dont stop!
Thank you for the video idea!
Have you ever tested any Castor racing oils ? Yes, primarily used in racing two stroke engines, but I think the lubricity test will be amazing.
Sadly, they are Thicker , like Sae 30 and burn dirty, as well as not flowing well . They can also separate from gas with a lower specific gravity, like the VP 110 that my vintage air cooled two strokes use.
How about a two stroke oil test focusing on racing Castor ?
Maybe two pure Castors like Blendzall Gold Label and Klotz Be -Nol And two synthetic /Castor blends like Maxima Castor 927 and Klotz R50 Super Techniplate?
Instead of the cold flow test , mix each with a race fuel like VP C12 or similar and cool the pre mix to 40 degrees Fahrenheit to see which separates?
Yes that would be cool
Also Amsoil European Car Formula please!!
Would also like to see that.
Amsoil is expensive, but it is an outstanding product across the board. If you can afford it I would not use anything else.
Thanks for the feedback.
Makes me feel a lot better about the $115 I just spent on Amsoil for 7quarts and a filter.
Thank you! Great product for sure.
@OBServe Garage good thing this oil is rated for 1 year and will better protect the engine while doing it.
@OBServe Garage So what's you're point? There is always cheap oil on sale. That's not the point with the video.
@OBServe Garage certain standards are not the same as same standards. Over the course of a year we'll spend about the same money, I'll spend less time, and my vehicle will have been better protected. It is also a modded ecoboost mustang. Di turbo engines really have drastically better performance and longevity with a quality oil.
$115?? I buy full synthetic oil and only spend $30 in Total for my oil change with the filter and pan
I started using Amsoil, warning it is addictive!
lol. Thank you
Damn right it’s addictive
Please add pennzoil ultra platinum and pennzoil platinum to the roster! Also perhaps liqui-moly engine oil. And I still would love to see testing on No More Friction (NMF) oil additive.
Great recommendation!
Pennzoil Platinum and Ultra Platinum.
Did 2 oil changes with Pennzoil pure synthetic. Engine began to run extremely loud and my cam tensioner blew out. Stopped using it.
shawn d sounds like you might've had other issues and perhaps the pennzoil's high amount of detergent (from what I hear) loosened up some things? 🤷🏼♂️ I'm guessing your timing chain tensioner blew out because your timing chain was too stretched
This man knows how to run a test! Wow, excellent work! I've been using Amsoil products for decades, along with oil analysis at every oil change on all my vehicles with fantastic results. I became a lifetime dealer back in the 80's just so I could buy it at dealer cost as I have zero interest in retail sales. Amway burned me out on on that a long time ago...
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.

It always seemed to me that adding a purple dye could not improve anything except Easter eggs...
Do they actually ad a dye or is it a result of an additive they use that happens to be purple?
@@bobiseverywhere It's a dye. The creator of Royal Purple, John Williams, used to work for Union 76, where he developed a motor oil called Royal Triton. It was dyed purple as a marketing gimmick. After Union 76 changed hands, he left the company and went independent. He tried to purchase the rights for the Royal Triton brand to market his new synthetic oil under, but was unable to secure the trademark or licensing, so he renamed it "Royal Purple".
@Richard Skipper anyway, we have amsoil.
@Richard Skipper Royal Purple retail oil is just as good as Walmart synthetic- Garbage.
Ran Royal Purple for 2 years. Should have known from high UOA reads. Engine lasted 60Mm before leakdown hit 30%. Red Line went 200Mm in the same motor; didn't even hit 20%. Amsoil is still running. Never touching that RP garbage again.
Thank You!
This is another case of paying more /= better quality. It's like going to the dealer for a repair when you could go to an independent mechanic for 1/4 the cost with better quality work.
I ran one Hino jo8c engine on Hino oil and one on Amsoil. Bloody wish i ran Amsoil in both the hino oil was very worn at 550,000 km's and the other is still like new with 600,000 km's. We live and learn i guess.
Randorn Canis what is UOA? Also, what is Mm? Is 60Mm 60 million miles? Minutes? Meters? I would be interested to hear more context. What kind of engines are you running and are these dedicated test engines or are they in service, etc?
Donald Trump's Hairline yeah, but isn’t Amsoil the most expensive of these? I thought he said Royal Purple was about $9.79 and Amsoil was $12.99.
