It happens all the time and I fail to select the best lineup of brands to test. So, I would greatly appreciate your help. I periodically ask for a vote on which brands to test. The “vote” notification only goes out to those who have both a) subscribed and b) selected the “bell”. www.youtube.co....
By the way, the testing is having a positive impact. In addition to helping viewers select the best products for their needs, product manufacturers are watching these videos. Several manufacturers have informed me that they are working to make their products even better. Thank you very much for supporting the channel by watching the commercials, using the affiliate links to make purchases and through Patreon support. / projectfarm , and I’m looking forward to many more product test reviews in the future.

Thank you all very much for the video suggestions. Here's a link to the BestLine additive but recommend shopping around for a better price. Thanks again and best regards, Todd amzn.to/2FPB9O4
Can you do a test of arch oil and turbo max...

First: You should do one multi part test of all these engine oil additives. Side by side tests mixed with cheap oils would give us a good idea of which additive to use and whether we need to buy expensive oils if we use good additives. That's one idea.
Second: test Japanese oils. Eneos, idumitzu, etc. They are stoking much curiosity on internet.
Third: we appreciate your attention to accuracy, and the fact that we can trust you are not promoting a product.

@@johnjohns2333 great minds!
TBH you're probably about the only UA-camr that I am willing to donate money to because you make such great awesome content and you continue to stay unsponsored so is that your community sees product reviews without you being bought out by a major company. Keep up the awesome work.
I appreciate it! Thanks, will do.
You never fully realize how much work it is to make on single UA-cam video until you actually try to post one, your videos are very well made and very accurate I love the videos and thank you for making them
Thank you very much for the positive comment! You're right regarding how long these video take to put together.
Agreed... My special phone I got to make videos get so hot during recording it shuts off... Sigh

Agreed, it isn't too easy to edit videos. I think I spent at least almost 2 weeks editing a video I have on my channel, which is this channel that I'm using to comment.
As a lifelong mechanic, welder, and fabricator, I appreciate the efforts you contribute in your testing........you keep it real, and interesting....tks

It amazes me how dedicated you are to read and answer so many comments.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
Project Farm:
1: Buys new engines.
2: Immediately proceeds to blow them up.
LOL!
How to; 'Burn' money if you get me
Although it's a bit wasteful, it doesn't wrench my gut nearly as much as people drop-testing new $1000 smartphones.
Also he’s saving tons of people cash by doing this. Killing 2 engines to save thousands.

I have to say, every time I watch one of your videos I'm just blown away by the thoroughness with which you perform your tests, you really go the extra mile to remove any extraneous variables to make the tests as scientific as possible.
So I just want to say thanks for all the hard work, time and money you put into your videos, it is noticed and very much appreciated.
Thank you very much for the positive comments!
This is my first video I have seen and I must say what a genuine dude, nice to see there are still really nice people out there.
Will be back to watch more.

One of only few people I trust when it comes to oil, filters, additives etc testing. Very easy and simple but close to real life testing!
Keep it up!!!
Thank you, will do!
Your videos are a great way to relax after work. Thank you!
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
It's always a good day when project farm is blowing up some engines to enlighten us all.
LOL! Thank you!

I think they should make a special section on Craigslist for him under "used components"
I bet that one that only ground to a halt could be re-oiled and re-ran...albeit at reduced compression...but it still could run...that one that grenaded is done...busted block and all...but still ran 2x times as long..daggum!
haha yeah...Project Farm project engines* (the * is for "good luck") :)
You bought 2 new engines and even built your own testing device. You clearly put a lot of effort into your videos
Thank you very much for the positive comment. Yes, this video took 30-40 hours of effort and quite a bit of money but it was worth it.
Project Farm Well done, great video. Appreciate your time and work.👍
Project Farm thank you for putting it to the test. Best line looks like a very nice product that actually works
I am double surprised. First I can't believe that additive lasted so much longer with no oil at all. Second I can't believe when it failed it blew apart like it did. I really thought it would just slow down and stop. Thumbs up for spending money on two brand new engines. Best channel out there for testing products.
Thank you!
I wanted to say that I appreciate the efforts to make these as scientific as possible and you do a great job of testing pretty much every aspect possible without a professional lab at your disposal. And also appreciate the time you take to respond to your subscribers' comments. A lot of your tests are ones I'd try myself if I had the time, ambition, and disposable income to do so. A lot of the results are what I'd expect, but definitely some surprises too. Kind of addicting to watch. Keep up the good work :)
Thank you
Just wanted to thank you for all the things you test. I know you spend a lot of time and effort performing all these test. It really helps people that normally has to go by word of mouth or what some companys claim about their products. I have been using bestline for a few years now but it's very expensive. I'm looking forward to see your other test. Have a great day.
Thank you!
Love how you put your videos together and how you dont have any bias whatsoever when it comes to motors or products that you use in them, you deserve a lot more subscribers and support you are a great man and i hope your channel continues to grow strong!
Thank you very much for the positive comment! I'm having fun making these videos and really want to get to the bottom of what works and doesn't work.
Excelent test. Sure hate to see you put up the money to toast them engine but you give us knowledge and I thank you for that. I am not a patron as I am on a fixed income with barely enough for rent and medications. But I do want to thank you and your contributors for my chance to see all your test. I really think you do the best and non bias test.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback.
You were great before. Now that you have stepped up your game, I do not know how to describe you. Three thumbs up. Thank you once again for your service.
Thank you very much for the positive comment! This was by far the most time-consuming video yet, but it was worth it to add more scientific rigor to the testing process.
I don’t have three thumbs to put up so I’m giving two thumbs and a big toe up
When Facebook ads says “ran good last time I used it”
Lol
That additive is absolutely insane. I've been looking for one that's this good for my police interceptors for years. Thank you project farm
Glad I could help
I agree. From what I've seen, Bestline and Motorkote are very good.
You are the man! I appreciate everything that you do for us and your dedication to your craft with no brand sponsorships. BestLine has allowed my 2006 Acura RL run like new. I use their Engine treatment with Penzoil Ultra Platinum(learned about this from your tests which has saved me a lot of money for a top tier Engine Oil) I also use BestLine Transmission with Amsoil ATF, and add it in my Amsoil gear 75w-90, Amsoil Steering, and Acura/Honda AWD/differentials, Amsoil Oil Filter cause it filters to 20 microns, BestLine fuel treatment every 4 Fill ups, Amsoil PI every 4,000 miles, Amsoil Coolant and waiting for new BestLine wetter version to come out to add. A little investment goes a long way! And I use Amsoil brake fluid. I used to only use Mobil 1 synthetic oil and filter.
Project farm is one of my favorites!! The effort you put into testing is awesome!!!
Thank you!
I have more confidence on your testing than documentation and videos by big companies! Well done Sir!
Thank you very much!
So basically, the Bestline treated engine didn't fail due to metal seizing or high friction that ate the material as it happened to the 10W-30, but due to highly increased temperatures that created enough tension inside the crank's connecting rod that it broke apart. So, if the rod wouldn't blow up due to so much heat, the friction on the metal surfaces was still low enough to keep that engine still running a lot more. Just wow!
And you say that there might be products that are even better than this already well proven product?
Thank you very much man for this high quality review video in which you basically test what happens inside a combustion engine when treated, not just what happens on a cold roller bearing!
Awesome videos! Pack the crank case with grease and see how it lasts!
Thank you for this recommendation!
Brad M might run awhile with a case full of assembly lube; may be near impossible to even turn over with a crankcase stuffed full of grease. lol
Brad M which grease is the best?
that would be really interesting to see
Seems like if you ever did get it to turn it'd hydraulic and bust the case apart. Like a hydraulic lock. Solid.
This guy's dedication to this channel is great. I'm glad to be a subscriber
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
Good to know, i'm actually planing to work on a project that requires me to run a small 4 stroke engine with no oil, I was planing to use grease and to add 2 stroke oil to the gas but i'm looking into different options, thanks for the info :)
Experimental Fun ummmm y’all realize I would die if you guys did a collab video...... just saying
Just keep in mind that running a 4 stroke without oil in the crankcase and only in the gas will only lubricate some of the top end of the engine. Having oil in the gas in a 2 stroke works because the gas/oil mix travels through the crankcase and lubricates the bottom end of the engine before going to the combustion chamber.
Grease seems like the best option for the connecting rod, but it'll likely have a difficult time dissipating heat. I hope you achieve great results!
Experimental Fun
If you look at the failure mode of the engine, it's the connecting rod.
A layer of oil acts as a cushion to protect parts from banging around.
Grease may help for a while, but it would melt and fale eventually.
If I had to guess it may add another 20 minutes to this test if someone packed the bearings with grease.
For other than testing, as he did here, why would you want to run a 4 stroke crankcase engine with no oil? If there was a space concern you could possibly go to a dry sump system with a spray jet or pressurized lube system. That would be considerably more complicated but very effective, if done properly. The oil in the fuel will do nothing to lube the connecting rod, crank, cam or valve system and it will likely do a poor job of lubricating the cylinder since the oil normally comes from below the rings. Just curious of the application you had in mind.
I appreciate your efforts testing products and giving us real results, you are by far one of my top favorite channels that i watch, thank you.👍
Thanks and you are welcome!
Id love to see a showdown with all the engine oil additives that you've tested and maybe others as well. But all one video, all mixed with the same engine oil, all tested on the lubricity tester in the same exact way. Just to have a consistent and accurate apples to apples comparison for all of them.
you deserve more subs I hope you pass 100k soon
Thank you very much!
m1ke2001 agreed

Man i like UA-cam recommendations at 3am
Thank you
Who else watches these PF videos as time passer,so addictive and well produced,I could watch all day even repeat watching same video,I’ve noticed each time they get more interesting.great content and character
Thanks!
I've been addicted to your channel for a while now, love the fact you aren't sponsored and the way the tests are run. I have a recommendation, I don't think you have reviewed Tufoil yet and would love to see it!
Thank you for the video idea!
I would also like to see a Tufoil test.
Just wanted to say keep up the awesome work! I'm not s very mechanical person but I really enjoy your videos and I started working on my own car and learning about it. I used all the seafoam additives in my vehicle and it completely restored it! My dad always complained about how rough my car ran and he thought I got a new engine! He was so impressed that he decided to change and go with seafoam in all his vehicles
Thank you very much for the positive comment! Glad that you're gaining mechanical skills and working on your own vehicle now. This will save you lots of time and money in the long run!
*Outstanding!* Thank you so much for your hard work and great videos just for the sake of our community's curiosity!
And thank you for your *humbleness and honesty,* rare gems nowadays.
Been watching since the first episode, and the videos get better and better. You seem more comfortable in front of the camera, and the testing gets more thorough and relevant. Thanks for making these, hope to see many more!
Thank you very much for continuing to watch the videos and thanks for the positive comment!
Now that you're testing film strength-we need some tests of synthetic oils (amsoil, royal purple, etc.) vs. normal oil. Please.
This is a great suggestion--thank you!
I agree. I would be curious about generic Walmart/theisen synthetic oil versus name brand synthetic oil. Love your channel. Thank you for the hard work.
Two new motors a video for only $2mo on patron? You just got some more! lol
LOL! Thanks for commenting.
Great! I just got myself some bestline. Car is due for an oil change so I’m putting a bottle of this in with the new oil. After watching this I did some more searching and seems this stuff is great! Hard to get it here in Australia but found one place that sells it online. Thanks for introducing me to this! Keep up the great work! Very informative and entertaining!!
Thanks for commenting on this and I hope you achieve great results!
71 mins versus 38 mins Amigo!! i can visit the toilet 5 times in between those failures!! WOW
My wife drove her Ford Focus without any coolant. A plastic connection part between block and coolant hose broke. I'm sorry I can't tell you how many miles she drove it. But when she noticed that the temperature gauge was in the red, she drove another couple of miles to park off of the highway. She called me, and drove there as quickly as I could. I walked up to her car, it didn't have a hot engine smell. I touched the hood but it wasn't hot. I checked the radiator first it was empty. Next I checked the oil, it looked and smelled normal. I had added a bottle of the Bestline during the last oil change. The engine never started to knock or smoke. After replacing the broken part I only added a new gallon of antifreeze. That was a year ago and the engine still runs good and has never needed to add more oil between oil changes. I'm convinced that the Bestline additive saved the engine.
Awesome channel! Your doing what the makers of these products should be doing already. I mean if I made a supposedly super product this would be the best way to promote it. To much fine writting these days.
@@KT-1 I have had the same experience using Lucas, but the engine was driven hundreds of miles in limp mode due to overheating.
Project Farm, you are so right to put the cap underneath so there is lubricant all the time. Another guy didn't do it so his test was not so reliable. You also have measured the damage. Awesome job, thank you
Thank you!
That film strength jig is pretty awesome. Takes quite a bit of parts and know-how to make one.
Thank you very much for the positive comment! I like it much better than the ones I found for sale. I used a very powerful electric motor to prevent the RPMs from dropping under load. Most of the testers don't control RPMs. Thanks again!
Project Farm I'll be waiting anxiously for the next video. If you can give me a.link to your patreon I'll help your channel out. I'm amazed how fast your channel has grown in such a short time. That shows good content. Have a good day.
Synthetic vs. Conventional motor oil.
Thank you for this recommendation!
I would love to see this
Definitely. Would like to see Mobil One extended performance. Great job on these videos! Not only do you use very sound, controlled methods, but the videos are very well paced and never get boring.
piotr tester do them already
@@ProjectFarm For example a top line Redline vs conventional Quaker
Just a suggestion for next time: You could weigh the bearings before and after and that way find out how much material has been removed due to wear.
Dude I don't even know your name but I've seen a bunch of your videos and I got to say you stand out as having some of the strongest integrity any of those on UA-cam who are doing what you do please don't stop and please never change you freaking Rock
Thanks so much, Todd.
I know this is a wierd one, but I always wondered what would happen if you mix fog machine fluid with gas, if it would produce fog, ruin the engine, or do nothing
Bad things since it's around 70% water. It's dense enough that the gas will sit on top of the fluid, so the engine would only get fog juice. So if the motor managed to run at all it wouldn't be for long before it stopped from lack of fuel, or it broke.
007K if you want a gas car to smoke, fill some oil in the fuel tank or have a nozzle in the exhaust spraying diesel or oil in.
Both WILL destroy your catalytic converter
tullgutten. unless it´s a diesel, then it´s not as bad, since some diesels does it originally haha. but they don´t uses cats xD
with his setup from the gas fume video, it might be possible
mix in pure glycerin then
Spray mineral (or baby) oil into the exhaust nearest to the engine and you'll get a pretty epic smoke show.
Deserves more veiws
Thank you for the positive comment!
Project Farm you deserve it
Another good one, and must admit that I didn't have much hope for the Bestline, as many additives are snake oil more than anything, but it looks like it works.
Thank you for this recommendation!
I wish I knew your name. It would be easier to comment. Be that as it may, I have to say I truly love watching your videos and sure do learn a lot from them. I truly hope your listeners never run out of ideas. You are so thorough in everything you test. Aside from having a million dollar set up, I don't see how anyone could possibly do a better job. I am glad you have so many subscribers. Please keep up the better than good work. And take care of yourself.
Wow, thank you, Todd.
This is awesome has anyone asked you to do comparisons of oils to see which one is better? I'd like to see you compare the mobil 1 0w-40 against castrol 0w-40 and Pennzoil 0w-40 those seem to be the most talked about now a days
Thank you for this recommendation.
i would love to see that since my car requires it
@@ProjectFarm THIS. I currently use Mobil 1 96989 0W-40 with RS*R RAN*UP (300ml) on my 285k mile supercharged NSX. I swear by the combo, even the RS*R is $50.00 per oil change. I've asked in the past if you'd test...let me know if I need to mail you a bottle in order for you to give it consideration.
Okay so it's important to understand the oil rating system. Take 10w30 for instance. The ten is the viscosity. The 30 is the protection rating. The viscosity is for low temperatures. If you live in a cold climate you need lower viscosity. The lower the viscosity the faster your oil pump will work to get oil to where it needs to go. This is especially important in low temperatures because when you first start your engine the oil will be cold and thicker viscosity.
The "protection" rating tells you at what pressure the oil will dissipate at. So for protection of Cams, lifters, cylinder, and other moving parts the higher the second number the better.
@@ProjectFarm Yes please do. maybe a test of 10w-30 mobil 1, castrol, royal purple and valvoline. maybe also amsoil.
This is my favorite channel. You are the most professional UA-camr I have come across
Thank you!
You should try running a 4 stroke engine with no oil but mix oil with the gas like a 2 stroke
Thank you for this recommendation!
Haha, cool recommendation indeed. But I think we will see a failure in the bottom end as there will be no lubrication getting to this part of the engine with this idea. But I like where your head is at!
I also want to see that. Good idea
Atimatic Army is right. 2 strokes fuel go through the crank case lubricating everything.
That wouldn't work at all, it would be nice to see 2 stroke oil in place of regular oil without any mixing though.
Thank you for helping us all become better shoppers and supporting the companies that provide beneficial and honest products that does what they are trying to sell.
Thank you!
I have used Best line, Rev X, Turbo Max , Zddp Max , Prolong and Z MAX and for the money Best line is BEST !
Thank you
And how can you know bestline is best?
@@palleh7742 Guys that race and/or put their engines through extreme condition while constantly rebuilding do get a very good idea of what oils and additives work better. That's a big part of the issue right. Most just have a daily driver they're trying to get 500k out of and it's so anecdotal with so many variables it's hard to tell. When you're pushing engines past the rpms and compression they were even designed for you can get a much better idea of what is helping and what isn't. It's not much different than these tests but it's real world, worst case scenarios where results are seen more immediately. Hope that helps.
Edit- I guess what I'm saying is the average guy that gets a bill for a blown head gasket would be shocked at how trivial something like that is for others. You pretty much have to take "their word" for it if you're not gonna dive in yourself. Almost like listening to your doctor on nutrition or shaman for your drugs if you prefer.
Man I just stumbled on your channel first class everything first class I am going to be a long time fan
Thank you very much!
U should try the Lucas Oil stabilizer next!! Love the videos!!!
Thank you for this recommendation! Thanks for the positive comment!
Yeah! Run an engine on 100% Lucas to see what that syrup will do in there! Lol great film strength though!
As I understand it that stuff is mostly an oil thickening agent.
Lane Tanzey I didn't know I was a oil stabilizer😹😮 I must be living under a mountain when I don't even know these things about my self
Lucas Oil, is a company. They make a lot of products.
Let me just say first love your dedication to bring us real world content! I had a 2003 expedition 4.6l . Ran the Motorcraft semi synthetic oil until 100k then switch to full synthetic oil with bestline. I got a newer truck around 3yrs ago the expedition went to my son somewhere between 170k to 200k it had an oil pan leak I had the gasket and told my son he needed to change it and keep the bestline in it. And of course I asked him if he had been changing oil he says it changes it's self he just kept adding oil not changing it! He traded it in the other day for a newer vehicle it's still running fine with 260k on it. That is my real life experience with bestline. Now my newer truck is an ecodiesel that's starting to get some miles on it since it's a diesel I'm stuck on whether to use the bestline or the hotshots fr3.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Would love to see a test between two versions of the same brand of oil - the cheap conventional kind vs. full synthetic.
This is a great video project idea. Thank you.
Just to clarify my previous comment - in particular I'd like to see the lubricity test between the two. I thought that test was really telling. Thanks for the great vids!
If you are going to use new engines for every test you should put the word out to manufactures to sell you engines that haven’t passed quality control for non mechanical reasons (like dings, scrapes cracked plastic etc) should save you a lot of money in the long run. Just a thought
Also if it’s not important that they are brand new check with businesses and agencies like fire departments who have to keep equipment updated and will replace pumps and generators after so many hours that still work perfectly fine. Hopefully that’ll save you a couple bucks I can’t imagine it’s cheap to go through so many engines. Been a long time subscriber and can’t afford to be a patron so hopefully these help. Keep up the good work
Those 212 predators run about $100 or so a piece. It adds up quick, I'm sure.
Thank you for this recommendation!
Can you run an engine with purely engine assembly lube?
Thank you for this recommendation!
Wikto probably not. assembly lube is basically a thick paste. It probably wouldn’t even go through the oil galleries. Running an engine with water instead of oil would work though
Christian Lucatino Never know though, if he doesn't try it I have an old lawn mower I'm going to try it on
Christian Lucatino I think he means slathered on the rod bearings and rings/skirts.
Wikto if you do post a video of it
Ollllld school.. man I love how humble this guy is..and still is to this day
Thanks!
Now, can you JB weld the connecting rod back together...
Ezra Kainz but that hole in the cylinder wall
Thank you for this recommendation. I tried JB Weld on a connecting rod before and it didn't hold up.
I saw another guy do it. It held, but not for long. Oh nevermind. It was Project Farm. lol
hahaha
Wow, great information, just watched the Lucas/STP test and have used Lucas in my pickup. Seeing the bestline run for 70 minutes compared to the 20 for the lucas test I think I will be switching what I use.
Would love to see a test done with some of the "extended interval" oils that are rated to last 12 months. Mobil 1's Annual Protection, Royal Purple and Amsoil would be my top three.
John, thank you for the positive comment. I will definitely test some extended interval additives soon. Thanks for commenting.
John Ventshop i use both Lucas to stabilize and protect the oil. Then I add Bestline to reduce fiction and protect the engine from damage should the coolant hose burst. I've seen this work in real life when my wife drove her car without coolant one day last summer.
@@KT-1 Lucas made the engine run shorter time(almost half as only ordinary oil(without additive)
@@kristianbrandstrom I don't remember seeing a video in which the engine that had Lucas stopping first. But regardless, Lucas us an oil stabilizer not an oil friction additive. For the past 25 + years I've been adding Lucas at every oil change. It makes a drastic difference in how shiny the oil looks after 5k miles compared to my brother in law's oil at 5k miles.
@@KT-1 OK I understand- Project Farm made a video comparing Lucas additive and STP additive, where Lucas runs for approximatly 20 minutes after draining the engine. the same engine and engine oil ran 38 minutes without the Lucas additive in this video? worth thinking about.
Every time I hear these engines make their last revolution I can hear Sarah McLachlan begin to sing.🤣
lol
I’ve watched this comparison several times over the last couple of years. I have used BestLine in the past in my wife’s 2008 Camry (faulty piston ring) to try and ensure that it will not burn out the engine if I forget to top up the oil. It’s one of several additives I use to baby the car.
Impressive!
try vegetable oil as like motor oil I want to see what happens always wanted to try it to see the results you should try it and also try beer as fuel to
Thank you for this recommendation!
The alcohol content in beer isn't nearly high enough for an explosion in a compressed atmosphere.
Jesse Fritz
And even if it was the carbon dioxide in the beer wouldn’t allow any ignition.
OK. wait till it goes flat.
Yeah...that would be cool to see...in a pinch...no oil..but a bucket of vegetable oil...gotta run from the zombies...how far would you get
How about a comparison between same brand oil, synthetic vs non-synthetic. Motorcraft makes a synthetic blend, and also a full synthetic. It's generally reasonably priced stuff, and Ford guys seem to swear by both types. It would be nice to see if/how much the synthetic provides more protection/lubricity than the blend.
Thank you for this recommendation!
I think it would be very difficult to test in a engine in a short period of time and get any conclusion.
Have you ever heard och tufoil? They are in the guinness book of records for their engine additive. I would love to see one with that!
One idea I thought of while watching would be to use the same bearing flipped over for the difference lubricants being tested. Just another small variable that could be removed and it would save some bearings. Also, seems a good idea to have the level of lubricant in the cup the same. I am so impressed with how dedicated you are to making it a fair playing field. Each video gets better and better.
Thank you!
Great video. Maybe a more real world death test is with the engine on a slight load. Maybe a old school car engine fan blade attached to the shaft. Would also add cooling air that a go kart might get.
This is a great suggestion and thanks for the positive comment.
Great video 👍🏻 these predators are pretty tough I can’t believe the one ran for 70 minutes let alone the other one 40 minutes. I have a Briggs and Stratton I’ve ran out of oil 4 times and it just keeps on chugging “on accident of coarse it burns a lot of it “ once again great video. You should also do a video on running and engine on nitro fuel for the nitro rc cars. I’ve seen some videos claiming to be running a motor on it.But of coarse it would be better to come from you! Also a video on running and engine on 2 stroke gas vs. just straight gas would be interesting I wonder if the oil in the gas would make the motor run cooler?
I was really surprised it ran so long. Thanks for the positive comment and thansk for the recommendation!
pierson jones try treating it with MMO to help reduce oil consumption .
I've read that a lot of older oil additive "snake oil" salesmen would use Briggs and Stratton engines to prove their products because some of the Briggs and Stratton engines by design would retain enough oil in the right places to run for 6-8 hours after being drained of oil with little to no damage. It was more a result of good engine design and build quality than it was of the snake oils properties. Don't quote me on this, I just read it somewhere but I think the take away is that Briggs and Stratton build some tough engines.
Such a great guy your so genuine honnestly id love to support your patreon but Rn i just cant.. But other than that, i share and i always like your vids. Great job at testing every thing for us thanks Sir. 👏👍
Thanks for all your support!
Nicest most honest man on UA-cam thanks for everything you do!
Thank you!
Please test Royal Purple Oil!
Thank you for this recommendation!
And mobile 1 side by side
Incredible how long both those engines ran for!
I agree. Thank you
How long would they last under full load?
What if you lubricate only with penetrating oil like WD-40?
Thank you for this recommendation!
Project Farm You're welcome.
M-2 Hydra seize up. No lubricant
it would blow up immediately. those oils are way too thin and they don't "stick" to the parts. now it would be interesting to see after break in; drain the crank and fill with pure WD-40 and see how long it lasts.
WD isnt really for lubrication, the WD stands for water dispersal and sure it sinks in and losens things up and has similar properties but it is never intended to replace a lubricant.
Love this channel and the unbiased reviews you provide! As someone who is massively into engines -- I am currently precision machining an engine to power a drone I am building -- I really enjoy watching these videos. Will definitely recommend to a friend
Thanks!
The ting go skrrrra
Thanks
Now take them back to harbour freight, and get your money back!
LOL! No, I definitely won't do that.
bill2526 bill2526 that whoosh that sounded like a jet was the joke flying over your head...
Lets see royal purple engine additive
Thank you for this recommendation!
Others might think i am an idiot but this is the first time i am hearing about engine oil additive. This is why i keep on watching Project farm.
Thank you very much!
Try running butter in the crank case
Will the garage smell great, or terrible? hmm
How about bacon grease?
All great recommendations--thank you!
I have a better idea. Use butter to grease all the bearings, use bacon grease in place of motor oil and moonshine in place of gasoline. I have a pretty good idea how it would turn out, but the exhaust would probably smell delicious.
Snowman379 sounds like my kind of engine.
when youve tested them all.. you need to retest the 2 or 3 best ones to see if you can repeat these results... science is the art and ability to replicate results consistently
Great point.
I say bestline vs motorkote vs bg moa or prolong
Bestline vs motorcote vs archoil
Try Z-Max Engine treatment.
I've got some Z-max and I'm looking forward to testing it. Thank you for this recommendation!
Such a humble comment at the end. Love the channel, and your attitude. Keep being you. Cheers
Thanks!
Try Archoil. I saw it on Jay Leno. Watch the video and see if you think it's worth a try. It's made in the USA
Great recommendation!
He tell his neighbor I don"t know why your tiller won"t run
LOL! Thanks for commenting.
Hello! Have you ever tested RVS TECHNOLOGY products? is it difficult to do some tests (friction, etc?)
Thank you for the video idea!
I honestly don't know what this guy is doing but it's working. He's getting way more views than the amount of subscribers he has.
Thank you very much for the positive comment.
Project Farm no problem dude. Keep up the great work.
Could you use straight bestline instead of oil in the engine
Thank you for the video idea!
PF, tonight I watched your oil/additives videos and I have to say that the bearing tests and the no oil run using the Best Line additive was impressive. On this video, after the engines failed, you pulled on the Best Line engine and although it had
let-go, it was not seized, impressive. I’ve not used oil additives for several years, looks like I will be doing more research on the Best Line product... Thanks for your very informative, common sense videos 👍👍👍
Question; how much additive do you need for a 6 quart and oil filter?
Can you test ceratec?
Thank you for this recommendation!
Ahhh man i love this guy. That speach at the end was heartwarming, not taking sponsors, doing it for the people, they should call him honest farm.
So few of your videos are relevant to my needs but i keep returning to them just to experience some honest content, as there is little out there these days!
Many thanks PF!
You are welcome!
Can you tesr prolong engine treatment!!
Thank you for this recommendation!
The engine I have on my gocart
It seems to be a great engine. Thanks for commenting.
They're great engines. I use to build them to run on methanol for our race carts. They are basically a Honda gx200.
Jacob riddle is that a kiddie gocart? Only 200cc is a little low for a 4 stroke
Michael Van Schie 45 mph is plenty fast
Especially off road
Are you gonna try nitro? I’m really curious
I plan to test nitro in a few months. Thank you for this recommendation!
Project Farm
Haha. Awesome. Thanks man!
Friend of mine is a local mchanic and told me about this best line and your test I just went in debt and bought a buy here pay here truck which is using oil.... thanks for the video very helpful
Thank you! Hope you get great results
