  • Both Mobil 1 and Schaeffer's have been in business for over 100 years, but which brand makes the best SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil? Let's find out! I purchased Mobil 1 and Schaeffer's Synthetic oils using my own money. I am not sponsored by Schaeffer's or Mobil 1 or by any product manufacturer. 100% of Project Farm videos are ideas that come from those leaving comments. So, thank you very much for requesting this video! In the previous episodes, Amsoil won over Royal Purple, Amazon won over Liqui Moli, and Red Line won over Super Tech. The brands that won will advance to next round in the oil championship series.

If you're running conventional oil you are spending four to six times more money on oil then I am in the same number of miles plus the cost of the oil change even if it's your own time and an oil filter.most of my engines run an entire year on 1 oil change 1 filter. The rest of them are changed per what the oil lab analysis tells us the change interval should be most are around the equivalent of 24000 miles on stationary other dirtier condition engines are around 12000 miles. Recommendations on the bottles are 7000 and 9000 miles but we send everything into a private analysis lab to be sure we are getting the best protection possible. I can almost guarantee you that if you sent me a sample of your conventional oil that had 3000 miles on it and I sent it into the lab the results would come back that you should have changed your oil a thousand miles ago.

    I switched to Schaeffer's products for everything with my hotshot business. It lowered my maintenance intervals by over 25% Which lowered my downtime and by buying their products in bulk from a distributor it came out to be cheaper than any other option. I even get free oil samples which is a huge savings. My biggest savings come with their carbon treat fuel treatment pushing that fuel filter life out is huge. The Wheel hub 219 grease lowered my trailer hub temps by 8-12 degrees over lucus red n tacky.

    Holy crap this channel is amazing. The fleet that we had years ago all transferred to Schaeffers oil after we ran a series of test between 100 vehicles. I think it was about ten vehicles each received a certain brand of full synthetic oil with oil samples sent off every single oil change. At the end of the year Schaeffers oil was decided on and we extended our 5000 mile oil changes in F150s to 13,000 miles per oil sample recommendations. The trucks were already out of warranty as standard oil changes were no longer relevant. A few of the trucks that we used for highway parts running were extended up to 17,000 miles. Amsoil was up there but they cannot beat the bulk prices on Schaefer.

It turned out to burn oil pretty bad. He never even changed filter ... and got 100K+ miles without ever changing the oil. Not sure what ever happened to that truck, I'm assuming he sold it.

Dip your finger in it and the breeze would make it string across the parking lot. We also put it through the friction test and it performed excellent. It even beat out pumpers lube. Lol.

      @@EDesigns_FL You are probably referring to zddp. In older cars with agressive cams it is actually very helpful. It is an additive specifically for high pressure lubrication. Newer oils have used lower amounts due to a change in catalytic converter materials. Manufacturers had to do so because of new regulations regarding catalytic converter warranties being extended. The new material did not like zddp. The additive for manual transmission oils have gotten varying results because of synchro materials also. I forget the additive, but when used on bronze vs steel (I think) it does an excellent job preventing wear on one but causes rapid wear on the other. That said, some additives are hogwash, others it really does depend on the application.

      I have used depth bypass filters for the last 50 some years. My oil always looks new. Looks like the Mobil 1 is lighter. Before I started using synthetics I used Chevron Delo 100 30 wt. I don't drain oil. In the 60s multi grade conventional oil didn't hold up for extended use. You for sure didn't use multi grade in a diesel. My uncle told me his 59 Ford always uses a quart of oil after he changes it. Then it's OK until his next oil change. Later I realized one quart evaporated. Conventional multi grade. They are a lot better now. When Mobil 1 first came out all they had was 5 20. You needed a pretty good engine to use it.

Not bad for a rock bottom priced full synthetic in my opinion and probably suitable for most any daily driver car.

    Love the channel and enjoy watching the different tests on oil. Thank you for doing this, it helps out the common Joe Like me. I always click the like button on all videos I watch!
    Will you be doing a similar comparison for Diesel Truck Oils? Not semi truck, but oils for pickup truck/cab and chassis trucks with ratings from 350/3500 to 550/5500. It would be interesting to see comparison of popular manufactures like Rotella 15w40- vs Mobil 1 5w-50 vs Delo vs Valvoline... etc.
    Looking forward to your next comparison videos, and Thanks again.
