- In this video I'll show you spec'd oils for the Gen 3 EcoDiesel from both ends of the spectrum, the least expensive one you'll find and one of the most expensive you'll find. Interestingly I've seen both perform the same in these engines! #JeepGladiator #EcoDiesel #EngineOil

QS works just fine in my older generators that state conventional. I just blend syn with conv. No metal on magnetic plugs anymore! 100 hours change interval or less. Over hour meter, but still one pull or two or three if frozen.
Definitely enjoy these videos you do. It proves or dispels many of the info that’s out there. Thank you! And Happy Holidays.
Always been a big fan of Quaker State lubricants.
I switched when you did because if it's good for you then it's good for me.I don't drive my 2020 ram hard and is my daily driver so it's my go to oil too for the last 2 oil changes. Thanks keep it coming. Always very informative to say the least.
540Rats blog on oil is pretty good Amsoil and Pennzoil/Quaker state full synthetic were the top performers he’s a mechanical engineer and really provides some good insight its cool seeing a cheap synthetic like Quaker state performing better than the high dollar synthetics
I was literally just reading it and am about to drop amsoil for the cheapest oil you can buy lol
Thanks for the video. I had been buying the more expensive oil, but I am switching as of your video. Thanks for your help.
Boy did you save me a whole lot of headaches on trying to figure out what to use. Thank you!
I've got to say, I'm not one to go and look at numbers. Let alone doing something like this myself. However, I really appreciate people like you that go out of your way (or not) to do this type of thing and share it. I love that this was information that I can use and be aware of. Getting educated on the vehicles you have is important so that you can get the most use out of your hard earned purchases. Again, Thank you.
Your videos are vary vary helpful . My wife just bought her dream Vehicle for 2022 JL Sahara eco-diesel. We are going for the gde tune as well. We live 15min from there Facility so it’s kind of a no-brainer to go with there tune. Info on the oil you provided is priceless. Thanks for the info👍
Thanks for the great info from a fellow Diesel Gladiator owner.
I'm running Quaker State 5w40 oil in my 2.0 Ford Ecoboost GTDI engine and it runs great! Factory spec is 5w30, and that's what I normally run most of the year. But in these extremely hot desert summers (over 100 to 110 every day) I like running the 5w40. And it runs very well with it. No loss of fuel economy either. And this Quaker State full synthetic is cheaper than just about every other full synthetic oil at Walmart.
very informative , I use quaker state in my car and have done so for years
FYI, the QS 5w-40 (Euro now I believe) is basically the exact same oil as the Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5w-40. Both are made by Shell. The Pennzoil is only sold by the quart while the QS is also available in a 5qt jug. The QS jug is currently approx $23.xx off the shelf at Walmart and the PP is $11.xx/qt. Literally more than 2X the price for the same oil, after comparing MSDS, technical data and VOA results. Cheers!
An email from Pennzoil about this question stated that the only difference between the two oils is that the Pennzoil carries a slightly better additive pack. Probably a slight more amount of Boron or ZDDP’s..
Qs oil change at 5k and amsoil oil change at 10k... which ends up being cheaper if you have to change the oil filter every oil change.? 2.5 gal of amsoil is 111 bucks if you subscribe to them via their website.
My 2007 v8 mustang yrs ago used to eat almost a quart of oil between oil changes every 3k/5k miles.
Then I changed to amsoil and would not eat that quarter anymore and I was doing oil changes every 7500 miles. I sold the car with 229k miles and the motor still felt brand new.
That was my experience on amsoil on a mustang, my ecodiesel just got the very first oil change today covered by the dealer. But I need to crunch numbers after a while too...
I appreciate your videos, thanks for putting them up! Long live the ecodiesel!
Pennzoil ultra platinum is the best.
We used QS in the 60s and 70s good stuff. Heard bad things about it, but good for us.
My old Sears Craftsmen Briggs & Stratton lawnmower loves all the extra vitamins in my Diesel truck’s drain oil.
You sir are cheap
thank you great content
Good to hear you found an oil that meets your needs at a decent price. You really have too shop around to find them. Too many of the Brand Names are simply over priced.
I'm about to try the Napa brand fleet hd full synthetic 5w40. only choice.
Thanks for the comparison, I'm still under the "jeep wave" oil changes for now but in the future I will be using quaker state. Can you recommend a non Mopar oil filter? Thanks
I agree 💯 just as good 👍 as the big money stuff!!!
Here in Italy and Europe in general most oils are rated both gas and diesel.
More specifically I used an oil born for diesels but works perfectly for gassers, with Manufacturers approval.
I don't know about Europe but in North America YOU DON'T WANT TO USE DIESEL OIL IN A GAS ENGINE! The additive package in diesel oil will destroy your catalytic converter. Specifically, diesel oil has very high levels of zinc, magnesium, sulfur and calcium compounds which will "poison" your catalytic converter.
@@arontesfay2520 In Europe most oils are compatible, actually it's the opposite you can't use old gas oils in the diesels, 99% of the diesel oils you can use in the gassers.
I like the vids. Getting my last free oil change shortly so I’ll be doing my own to save a few bucks. Where did you get your oil filters. I see some on line between 20 and 30 bucks. Chinese stuff but looks the same.

thank you 🙏🏼
I’ve been using the Shell Platinum Euro and tried to switch over to this about a year ago, seeing conflicting information about MS-12991 approval on it or not. The bottle I got did not have the approval, and when I contacted Shell, they said it doesn’t and to use the Shell Platinum Euro. Fast forward and my local Walmart has it on the shelf with the approval. My guess is the 5W40 IS the same as the Shell, which I was buying online in quart bottles.
Now if only the aftermarket oil filters for this were any good….
I just picked up a 5 quart jug at Walmart for $21 and some change, it actually costs less than Supertech oil. I'm just running it in my Maxima that just hit 325,000 miles and consumes a lot of oil so I by t he thickest I can get for the best price...
Thanks
Are you running any fuel additives for your diesel ? If so what have you found to be the best maitenance. Up in Canada here Amsoil diesel all in one is common , but recently watched a review on Archoil which is a US company but not common at all up here at all. Wondering your thoughts on this or anything else
Know a fella that worked for Exxon Mobil and now works for SOPUS Pennzoil/Quaker State. Pennzoil and Quaker are different.
How much different I want to know it. Some people said QS also use same base oil from natural gas not sure it.
Though they’re both owned by the same parent company the executives at Shell encourage competition between QS and Pennzoil in order to bring the best possible product at their respective price points. They are being supplied with the same GTL base oils and the same additives that are available to all top brands. The difference is in their recipes for their products. QS is usually priced lower than comparable Pennzoil products but it’s by no means a lesser quality oil.
One of the Mechanical Engineers i work with has done quite a bit of research on motor oils and he uses Quaker State. He has a newer mustang with a supercharger on it that he installed and the engine makes some pretty good HP numbers. I know if the was something better he would be using it, so the results you are experiencing are lefit.
You must work with 540rat. His voluminous blog is the reason I switched from Pennzoil Ultra Platinum FS to Quaker State Full Synthetic....
Are you still using Quaker State (now updated "Full Synthetic") in your Jeep?
Am planning to use liquid molly 5w40 moly gen what’s ur opinion on it when compare to quaker?
Hey I have my Jeep in again after they fixed the timing chain cover with the leak back again from the same spot. Starting to think its an engine block defect where the oil cooler meets the block. I know you got yours going in. Just keep a heads up. I think theres a bad batch of engines with this issue. I hope yours isnt one of them but thought I let you know. Great video as always.
I fixed my issue with this permanently. Details coming soon.... Sorry to hear about yours. That's so frustrating!
@@4-LOW looking forward to your video about the fix. Thanks!
@@4-LOW uh oh. Sounds like a trade in. Curious to see what you ended up with…
Traded in 100%
A Chrysler product that is out of spec ,,, say it isn't so .
From my personal experience, there seems to be a huge consensus that Quaker State is among the best oils you can get [especially] for the money. I use it and it's excellent. I see no reason to pay more for the other brands.
Buddy ya need to watch “Project Farm” here on youtube. He does the bearing test , burn off test. Cold flo (hot and cold) he does quite a thorough test , right in Front of you , so there is no fudging the results . He test about 6 or 7 brands at a time.. just something i thought you might be interested in ..
Amsoil actually ranks 2nd compared to quaker state full synthetic when it comes to film strength.
@@drzflyest4I own a 2012 gmc sierra with the 5.3l, since I have owned it I ran mobil 1 for 2 changes and it was great, switched to royal purple and the truck runs so different and crazy good, running it , i decided I would give amsoil a try cost me about 110 bucks for the complete oil change, so about 50 bucks more than royal purple runs me, and I made it 1500 miles before my truck was throwing oil pressure codes non stop, pulled it oil was still full looked new still, reset codes and say let’s go no longer than a day it threw another oil pressure code, so I switched back to royal purple. And I can go 7500-10k miles with no pressure issues, I can’t recommend amsoil to anyone after my experience with it
I use only AMSOIL for everything I own.
This video was specifically made for guys like you. :)
So do I. I save money in the long run by using it, plus it's one stop shopping for other products shipped to my door. 2 stroke oil, filters, grease, transmission & gear fluids.
I see Quaker state 5w40 euro but not ultimate durability at Walmart. Do you know if it is just an updated package that no longer says ultimate durability? Or are they different oils?
I called the manufacturer oh, it is the same oil different Packaging
Just got a curiosity and I don’t really expect you to answer is there any reason why you don’t use up your free oil changes that came with the your Ram or the Jeep
I run a 21 Ram ED- I found that my dealer put in Rotella T6 in mine with one of my free oil change. Its even noted in my invoice. I told them that T6 is not spec’d for the ED, they didn’t even know. They don’t stock the spec oil for ED. So if you use the free oil change make sure ahead of time they have the proper oil, not just viscosity.
Yeah do you want a minimum wage employee doing critical maintenance on your $56,000 diesel truck? I don't.
I like to know what is done is done. Can't deal with dealership scheduling and trying to upsell you the nonsense.
Why did Chrysler stop using Rotella T6? thx
Simple, because Shell stopped paying Chrysler to have that sticker on the oil cap.
Ok. I use QS myself. I use it because 540 RAT tested it best.....not because it's the cheapest. 7k motor. Don't cheap out on oil
uh oh i've stumbled upon oil youtube.
In some testing motol didn't do all that great.
Just change oil on time. Best penny pinching there is.
Who said
Shell owns QuakerState….
Change it every 5k and your fuel filters every 10k
37 ppm is not a good number for 6K miles. You should be under 10.
Valvoline Advanced full synthetic makes my Hemi run the Best an Smoothest" An i tried Almost Every Full Synthetic Brand"
That's because there IS NOTHING special about Motul! It is just another run of the mill Group III based oil! If you want better protection and performance, you need at least a slug of PAO or GTL to rise above ho-hum Grp III performance attributes. Look at Ravenol VST, for example. PAO based and has the performance specs to prove it! If you are not wanting to run extended drain intervals however, then yes it is hard to justify the cost!
not to nit pick, but having owned several older MB and spending a lot of time on BITOG and similar sites and watching every oil comparison youtube video I could find over the last 15 plus years I have never seen QS win a competition or be the preferred motor oil over other brands whether that be an expensive option like Motul or Ravenol or something more readily available lime Pennzoil, Castrol, M1, Kendall or Valvoline. I now own a RAM Ecodesiel. When I woke up this morning this was still America so to each his own but I would not use an oil simply because it was $20-22 a jug when 122991 spec oils are available in the less than $30/jug range that do indeed have many customers who would use nothing else than their longtime preferred brand and have also proven themselves better in head to head competitions. One last thing on the oil analysis. MB used to advise 19,000 between oil changes in the w211 with M1 0-w40 claiming analysis continued to show the oil and additive package still being at acceptable levels of protection. This along with there "lifetime" no service trans has since been debunked. FWIW I will be changing my oil every 5000 miles. Thank you for the video...
It may not be causing sludge today but to me it'll always be quicker sludge and I'll still never use it lol
nope never using quaker sludge ever.
