My Mercedes takes oil changes every 10k miles (sounds crazy I know) and has 0W40 right now and the dipstick still looks like golden honey with about 9200 miles since last oil change. Next time in 800 miles ima try royalpurple and see what the oil on dipstick looks like at around 9k.. I'll let yall know!
Few yrs ago a mate lost concentration and drove his car into a ditch on a driveway and ripped out his sump. He kept driving and i noticed the oil dumped on the road and warned him as soon as the oil lights up shut it off and roll it as far as he can because we were so close to the house. Light came on and 10-15 sec later he shut off and managed to roll it off the road and park it at the house where he replaced the sump and no damage was done. No idea what oil he was running but just goes to show it does happen 😅👍
I changed the oil on a 1991 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder engine back in 2005 using conventional Quaker State. I drove off and the engine stopped running so I pulled over on the side of the highway about a half a mile from my house. I cranked the engine over until it started back up again drove another half a mile until I got to the store and the car felt like I had an anchor tied to it, the car really struggled to stay running. At the store i noticed all the oil drained out of the filter because I cross threaded it. So I had to buy new oil and put the filter on correctly, after that the engine started knocking. I still drove it around another 20,000 miles before I got rid of it but the engine was ruined 😂 so how far can you run a Toyota Camry with Quaker State conventional oil drained out, about a half a mile.
Lab testing, as tested by the manufacturers, can be so easily manipulated to make their product seem to be better. Real world testing is the real proof!
@@TenzaMotorsports Interesting stuff. I agree lube companies can manipulate test results to make their products look better, but it would not be in their best interests. However, wouldn't the ASTM standardized bench test and engine sequence test results be the best indicators for overall oil performance absent field/fleet testing? They all have to do the tests, but getting the numbers from the oil companies is always a crap shoot.
Curious to see how the Penzoil ultra platinum would do. I’m all testing I’ve seen it’s much better than the regular Penzoil like what you used. Independent lab tests show a much better additive package and only a few bucks more per 5 quart jug.
No it is not confussing, some oils may exceed the amount of vicosity additives more than others, but they all meet the minimum API requirment as stated on the bottle.
@@Erik-oe7gc It won't work any better than you Mobil 1. Any good Synthetic oil changed every 5k miles with the filter will exceed your engine's requirements!! No Amsoil needed. 3rd generation mechanic and engine builder.
I have 55 years of experience on oil changes, it makes all the difference depending on the vehicle and it’s age and condition, will add latter. Good points.
I would first like to know the specs of the engine build. What we're the bearing clearances? A good oil stays close to viscosity throughout the life of the oil. When an oil's package breaks down and gets dirty, the viscosity goes up. Amsoil and Pennzoil have good packages that stay cleaner longer and thus the viscosity stays relatively the same.
This test seems to show, higher viscosity oil simply clings to the metal surface for longer. Makes me wonder how something like motor oil treated with molybdenum additive would increase the torture time.
that "thicker oil reasoning" is exactly why i like lucas oil additive, i add it absolutely Fn everything including my morning mt dew.. i feel like that thick ass sticky ass layer that covers everything helps alot it seem sto do a great job i have a Lot of faith in it also even if u lose all ur oil somehow, theirs still that thick layer on everything thatll give u a lil longer to maybe get to the driveway..i dealt with that exact thing tonight :p diff reason tho thank god most my friends also run it n iv been genuinely amazed at the straight up abuse their stuff takes on a daily years ago we drained oil out of a 5.7 n held it to the floor n that Fn thing lasted for EVER!!! that was a WORE out truck to idk how that it even started, let alone hold wide open n as long as it did and on top of that the very first time it died, we went over n hit the key n hour later n the fuckin thing Started Right Up like Nothing ever happened!!.... idk if it was because of the lucas or what but it was Fn amazing!! :p
Whatever full synthetic oil you use is fine. Today’s oils are so advanced, just don’t believe in extending oil change, like 20-35k mikes! Change your oil, oil filter and check your air filter at every oil change at 5-7.5k miles and you’ll be fine and peace of mind.
Change you oil regularly with whatever oil you want and you wont have problems lol Oils nowadays are so good it doesnt really matter. just avoid extended change intervals and youll be good haha
No. It depends on how you drive as well. Noy everyone has a granny foot. Some people want to be rougher with their vehicle so they want to make sure that engine lasts. After so many cycles, those differences add up to significant wear. Just look at Project Farms testing.
Been using Amsoil for years. 20,000km intervals on my Subaru Forester and 07 Mazda3. Mazda has just over 300,000km on it and the Subaru is at 140,000km. Doesn't burn a drop of oil, compression is still good. If you use a quality oil you can absolutley do extended intervals. Also be aware of the wording on oils. Full Synthetic vs 100% Synthetic Oil. Usually when worded " Full Synthetic" it's a mixed blend.
I use Mobile 1 0w40 synthetic European blend because of the additive package. It tested very well in comparison with other oils, but most test the regular Mobile 1 5w30 or similar.
After I researched about GTL (gas-to-liquid from natural gas) oils, how it is mage, what the components are, I stopped using them right away. Only PAO+Esters oils only is my option
There is countless videos and articles that show Amsoil Signature and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum are the best oils money can buy. Both are used in some of the best high performance engines in the world.
@@TenzaMotorsports fair enough, I would have probably done the same. Considering your using RP in your race engine I would assume it's superior to the other brands
I don't understand here? Why in every test I see by regular people when the use a metal on metal spinning wheel does Mobil 1 lose to Amsoil and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum? Amsoil and Pennzoil always have a smaller scar or damage area.
You have to watch my whole oil testing series. If you just watch this video it will be way out of context. The links to the other videos are in the description
I used Super Tech oil in my Volkswagen from day 1 when I bought the car in 2005 and I have 233,000 on it, and still running great as a back up car! I heard that quaker state oil makes it?
Yup Warren distribution which makes super tech, Kirkland and Amazon basics. All same oil. As proved by testing. See project farm. And Kirkland is the cheapest per quart
I've kind of fallen out of boutique oil companies and just look for something within the major companies which probably have superior R&D aimed at generic road car use. I just use my ears to see what oils seem to make it to 5k. I felt like the Volvo T5 was exceptionally tough on oil and QSUD held up the best. Realistically I would used any of the $20-30 5 quart jugs from the majors without too much thought. I'm hesistant with Mobil 1 because of FP turbos findings like a decade ago on bearing wear and I just don't use Royal Purple because of bad luck with a blown motor (though logically it was probably not the oil's fault). I feel like the perfect oil is a bit of a fool's errand and you have to delve through the world of marketing, theoretical tests, brand loyalist/fans, and even if you found something great the companies will reformulate without mention on the same SKU. I look at VW/Audi, Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes approved oils and just go with those and then just judge early oil changes by valvetrain noise.
There's way more to oil than just how well it protects metal and metal. Oil has a flash point where it turns in the carbon. That carbon can damage engine components in block internal passages leading engine failure. If the oil turns into an acid you can eat away at internal parts of the engine and again cause damage. So just straight out protection of metal to metal surfaces, while important, isn't the only consideration.
@@TenzaMotorsports Maybe answer the question? Maybe you have an agenda? Amsoil race oil would destroy the Mobil 1 and that wouldn't fit your needs, would it. Tell the truth, maybe.
An interesting thesis on oil, but I believe it's irrelevant as all tests on oil should be at maximum operating temperature. Letting the oil out of an engine and seeing how long it lasts is irrelevant to the fact that all tests should be run with oil. Perhaps 100 hour test then drain then disassemble the engine to see the wear. Also test the oil to see what's in it
Can you test Amalie oil? My mechanic gets it from Federal auto parts and it's relatively cheap but not very well known but they are an old company and apparently pretty big.
I stick with Mobile 1 in my Toyota. It's who designed the 0W-16 for them. On the other hand, cheap 80W-90 works better in my Toyota manual transmission vs. the OEM 75W. Just change it on time and chill 😎.
Transfer retention and viscosity is important. But the petrol based pennzoil is better for an older engine,, mobile 1 is better for a new engine etc etc etc
Hang on. An engineer doing a review on UA-cam? I don’t think it’s allowed. I thought car stuff had to be reviewed by people that say‘slammed’ and stance or bags all the time. Cos they are the experts cos they have the most views and subs... Says it all really. The blind leading the blind and then people complain about the internet being full of bad advice. Nice to see a real life look at how oils compare
Oil alone can't give full protection/longevity unless you have a: 1. Good oil filter 2. Good fuel filter 3. Good air filter Numbers 2 and 3 are the two most overlooked filters of them all and can contribute to the longevity of the oil condition
My Mercedes takes oil changes every 10k miles (sounds crazy I know) and has 0W40 right now and the dipstick still looks like golden honey with about 9200 miles since last oil change.

Turns out 100% synthetic and full synthetic are the same thing. Apparently, Amsoil is a 100% blend of group 3 and group 4 base stock just like full synthetics are.
Unfortunately this test is flawed and real synthetics are far better than conventional oil base full synthetics that are only blends. That includes your dino oil hydrocracked royal purple. That's rite no amount of added synthetic makes royal rip you off purple a real all synthetic oil. Don't get mad at me get pissed off at castrol lawyers for persuading a judge to agree that as long as a dino oil contains a minimum 25% synthetic content it can be labeled "full synthetic" in the case brought against castrol by Mobil 1. Which Mobil 1 then just gave up on making real all synthetic oils along with every other petroleum oil company. These companies however stood their ground in manufacturing real all completely synthetic oils with Amsoil being the very first one in 1972. Redline Synlube and Motul!
How can somebody say 5 minutes to stop your car when the oil light comes on is nothing? If I see that oil light come on I'm stopping my car immediately. And then I'm calling for help or trying to diagnose the problem if I can fix it myself. I don't need 5 minutes from the time the oil light comes on to kill my engine unless there's some sort of extreme circumstance that prevents me from stopping. The problem most people have is a warning light comes on and they ignore it and just continue about their business like it doesn't matter. They just drive it until it stops running. They know there's a problem but they ignore it. It doesn't matter what you put in the engine, they're going to destroy it if there's ever an issue. So no amount of time will matter in reality. Most people just drive their car until it dies or they trade it in.
@@TenzaMotorsports I hate to admit that that's what I have in both my vehicles. At least I put a synthetic oil filter. I won't use Super Tech anymore, and thanks for the video!
@@TenzaMotorsports That's surprisingly disappointing as other reports I have read say it's actually very good and no difference when compared to the major name brands. With that said, I've never used Supertech
If your truck has one of the DOD type lifters, like the GM 5.3 L, it likely has nothing to do with the oil itself, those engines have to have frequent oil changes. I use the Mobile 1 0w40 European blend which has a much better additive package than most oils on the market.
Its all a load of crap. My father inlaw was an over the road salesman for ashland chemical until 1986. He always used conventional valvoline in every car he owned. When i first met him he had 2 cars a 86 grand marquis and a 98 Cadillac. The Merc had 428000 miles and the caddy had 271000. He said he drove all those miles on those 2 cars. I asked him what kind of oil do you use? He said the same oil i always use Valvoline 5w30. I said synthetic? He just laughed and said no conventional 5w30. His last car he owned before he passed 2 years ago was 2010 grand marquis he bought new and when he passed it too had over 200000 miles on conventional 5w30 Valvoline. Never had engine issues. He always said just. Hange your oil on time and it wont fail.
Why wouldn't you use super tech in your car? You just extrapolated a test for like 20min and completely contradicted your own narrative. Super tech is made by Warren distributions, a quality manufacturer. It meets and exceeds all specifications and holds or out performs against top brands in tests. Having said that...yuck yuck I'm too boujey for that shyt herp derp.. make it make sense smarty-pants.
Not sure where you’re getting the contradiction in this video. These tests were done to see which performed best and I would respect the results. Super tech performed the worst. I wouldn’t put it in my car. That’s not difficult to understand. Has nothing to do with being boujee. It has everything to do with, spending tens of thousands of dollars building a race car and not being a cheap ass at the very end. Why would anyone spend the time and money I have, to cut corners and potentially have your oil hurt the engine? I'm sure super tech is fine, for a daily driven low tolerance Honda, but that doesn't mean it's a race car oil. There are many tire companies that meet or exceed regulations, but that doesn't mean I put cheap tires on my race car. All the gas at the gas pumps meet regulations. Doesn’t mean I use cheap low octane fuel. Does that make sense? Same thing applies with oil. A Royal purple oil change costs me around $65-75 (a year) . Saving $30 a year to buy a cheap oil.. Isn’t with the risk.
Thanks for watching! If you have any other questions feel free to ask! Also if there are any oils you want to see tested comment the brands below.
I need your advice about the best fully synthetic 0W-20 GF-6, API-SP for my 2018 nissan maxima ( regardless the price)

I'm a Pennzoil Super Platinum Synthetic kinda guy but my take away is Supertech for the money isn't actually that bad.

It’s crazy how we have multi trillion dollar oil companies and we have to rely on regular joes to do ACTUAL non biased testing... it’s ridiculous 😑
dang good point
Let alone the BIG WHIGS dont wanna reveal the oils ingredients or else theyll be competitions between themselves. Not good....
For them.
All about marketing in America. Doesn’t matter which one is better, matters who spends more money on advertising
So does this mean that Amsoil is bad for engine start up but great while an engine is running?
Loved the discussion. Really nice to hear your thoughts about this. Numbers are so much fun and the interpretation is so interesting. Cool stuff.
It was a fun video to make!
And my next question is, what do you think about all this Amsoil Hype. Personally I’ll stick to my Toyota 016 synthetic oil.
Just like the hype about everything else when it comes to oil. Reality. Keep your oil clean and the right weight. That’s 99% of the issues.
Change you oil regularly with whatever oil you want and you wont have problems lol Oils nowadays are so good it doesnt really matter. just avoid extended change intervals and youll be good haha
No. It depends on how you drive as well. Noy everyone has a granny foot. Some people want to be rougher with their vehicle so they want to make sure that engine lasts. After so many cycles, those differences add up to significant wear. Just look at Project Farms testing.
Been using Amsoil for years. 20,000km intervals on my Subaru Forester and 07 Mazda3. Mazda has just over 300,000km on it and the Subaru is at 140,000km. Doesn't burn a drop of oil, compression is still good. If you use a quality oil you can absolutley do extended intervals. Also be aware of the wording on oils. Full Synthetic vs 100% Synthetic Oil.

Which Amsoil did you use? Signature / XL / OE???
Strange that they never answered this question. I think that answers it anyway.

Amsoil Sig by far. More importantly the Filter, Wix, Amsoil, or Napa Gold.
Amsoil Signature Series or Redline High Performance, are lot better oils than Royal Purple.
Are we comparing the same viscosity grades here? Like 0w40 etc... It feels like the video is missing a bunch of information...

What do you think about Costco Kirkland Synthetic vs. Mobil 1??? Any tests on the Costco stuff.. its cheap!! Makes me suspicious...
If it’s cheap. There is usually a reason. To an extent. Depend on what you think is cheap. A good range is $7-10 a qt. That’s not overly expensive.
Oil alone can't give full protection/longevity unless you have a:
1. Good oil filter
2. Good fuel filter
3. Good air filter

That was 7 months ago and you did not let us know.
It's purple and looks dark out the jug. I personally wouldn't recommend royal purple. But whatever floats your goat.
Turns out 100% synthetic and full synthetic are the same thing. Apparently, Amsoil is a 100% blend of group 3 and group 4 base stock just like full synthetics are.
Unfortunately this test is flawed and real synthetics are far better than conventional oil base full synthetics that are only blends. That includes your dino oil hydrocracked royal purple. That's rite no amount of added synthetic makes royal rip you off purple a real all synthetic oil. Don't get mad at me get pissed off at castrol lawyers for persuading a judge to agree that as long as a dino oil contains a minimum 25% synthetic content it can be labeled "full synthetic" in the case brought against castrol by Mobil 1. Which Mobil 1 then just gave up on making real all synthetic oils along with every other petroleum oil company. These companies however stood their ground in manufacturing real all completely synthetic oils with Amsoil being the very first one in 1972. Redline Synlube and Motul!
How can somebody say 5 minutes to stop your car when the oil light comes on is nothing? If I see that oil light come on I'm stopping my car immediately. And then I'm calling for help or trying to diagnose the problem if I can fix it myself. I don't need 5 minutes from the time the oil light comes on to kill my engine unless there's some sort of extreme circumstance that prevents me from stopping. The problem most people have is a warning light comes on and they ignore it and just continue about their business like it doesn't matter. They just drive it until it stops running. They know there's a problem but they ignore it. It doesn't matter what you put in the engine, they're going to destroy it if there's ever an issue. So no amount of time will matter in reality. Most people just drive their car until it dies or they trade it in.
Super Check means you better check yourself, because you may have engine failure.
It didn’t test very well that’s for sure
@@TenzaMotorsports I hate to admit that that's what I have in both my vehicles. At least I put a synthetic oil filter. I won't use Super Tech anymore, and thanks for the video!
@@TenzaMotorsports Does super tech harm engines. i have been using with no issues,
@@TenzaMotorsports That's surprisingly disappointing as other reports I have read say it's actually very good and no difference when compared to the major name brands. With that said, I've never used Supertech
I no longer use Mobil one after My cam went in my truck with only 56000 miles. Now it is Amsoil in my Harley and pennzoil ultra platnum in my truck.
If your truck has one of the DOD type lifters, like the GM 5.3 L, it likely has nothing to do with the oil itself, those engines have to have frequent oil changes. I use the Mobile 1 0w40 European blend which has a much better additive package than most oils on the market.
Do you have Snapchat or anything, I have a couple questions about the build
My Instagram is tenza_motorsports
What is your email?
Please!
The days B4 the Discover Snapchat stories were good times
you should really tell this info to those e9x m3 people
You should’ve told David that you were making a video so he could at least fix his hair
Its all a load of crap. My father inlaw was an over the road salesman for ashland chemical until 1986. He always used conventional valvoline in every car he owned. When i first met him he had 2 cars a 86 grand marquis and a 98 Cadillac. The Merc had 428000 miles and the caddy had 271000. He said he drove all those miles on those 2 cars. I asked him what kind of oil do you use? He said the same oil i always use Valvoline 5w30. I said synthetic? He just laughed and said no conventional 5w30. His last car he owned before he passed 2 years ago was 2010 grand marquis he bought new and when he passed it too had over 200000 miles on conventional 5w30 Valvoline. Never had engine issues. He always said just. Hange your oil on time and it wont fail.
It means you need to get a life and stop worrying about oil. Buy a major brand that meets the manufacturer's recommendations.
Hard to argue with that!
Blah blah blah blah, man this one you really had to listen to, Good job.
It was a long one for sure. Hopefully enough information for what we needed to talk about
all this is really saying is that a higher viscosity oil protects better. This doesnt tell us which brand is better.
This tells you what brand protects better, therefore it does tell you what brand is better.
Un fair test check Valvolines. Best oil
i can hear the Amsoil and Pennzoil Cry babies crying at these results Mobil 1 wins again.
🦧
Why wouldn't you use super tech in your car? You just extrapolated a test for like 20min and completely contradicted your own narrative. Super tech is made by Warren distributions, a quality manufacturer. It meets and exceeds all specifications and holds or out performs against top brands in tests. Having said that...yuck yuck I'm too boujey for that shyt herp derp.. make it make sense smarty-pants.
Not sure where you’re getting the contradiction in this video. These tests were done to see which performed best and I would respect the results. Super tech performed the worst. I wouldn’t put it in my car. That’s not difficult to understand. Has nothing to do with being boujee. It has everything to do with, spending tens of thousands of dollars building a race car and not being a cheap ass at the very end. Why would anyone spend the time and money I have, to cut corners and potentially have your oil hurt the engine? I'm sure super tech is fine, for a daily driven low tolerance Honda, but that doesn't mean it's a race car oil.
There are many tire companies that meet or exceed regulations, but that doesn't mean I put cheap tires on my race car. All the gas at the gas pumps meet regulations. Doesn’t mean I use cheap low octane fuel. Does that make sense? Same thing applies with oil. A Royal purple oil change costs me around $65-75 (a year) . Saving $30 a year to buy a cheap oil.. Isn’t with the risk.

Some people don’t want to hear the truth lol.
"If you hit a rock and your oil pan is leaking"...LOL. When's the last time that happened to me in 30 years of driving? Never. Clowns.
Running low on oil happens very often. We are just using an extreme example.
Absolutely no contest. Amsoil beats them all
