  • The oil competition series intensifies as Amazon Basics competes against Liqui Moly. Is the low-priced AmazonBasics full synthetic 5W-30 motor as good or better than Liqui Moly's Top Tex 4200 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil? I am not sponsored by Liqui Moly or Amazon Basics. I purchased both of these products using my own money. I am not sponsored by Amazon, Liqui Moly, 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!

      I have loved watching all your tests. Seems like a strange thing to say now that I have typed it haha. I recently had a new engine built for my race car with forged internals. The machine shop who built my engine requires me to use Motul engine oil. I have always used amsoil. I was really hoping you could do a test with all the oils generally used for racing. Amsoil Signature, Liqui Molly, Motul, Royal Purple and then maybe verus Amazon basics full synthetic.

      The 4200 is rated for Dexos2 (dexos blue) and other Low Sap standards which prioritize Catalytic Health over all other metrics.
      It's a really strict standard that the AmznBasic Dexos1 doesn't meet.

      @niccadoodles 5 років тому +11

      That won't necessarily be true. Different oils have different breakdown and break in points. There is wide range of disparity between new viscosity and after 800 miles of use. Shoutout to blackstone labs.
      There used to be a great forum that posted great analysis, unfortunately they were bought out by an oil company (go figure)
      Essentially he could run both oils in the same engine for several durations of 1-2 hours, then test the difference.

    @komentierer Рік тому +50

    I really enjoy watching your videos. But the testing methods in this one left me with some questions. How can you compare Oils without testing their lubrication at an actual engine temperatures? Maintaining lubrication at hight temp for an extended period of time is the MOST critical property of any engine oil. It's what makes an engine oil an engine oil.
    Cold start viscosity is all fine and dandy, but according to the tests in your video, you might as well use sunflower seed oil.

    • @bluetsunami4005

Both are superior to Mobil 1 in terms of real world burn off in the summer and have less change in viscosity. Plus both provide more power and less noise at first fill and after 3500 miles. Used all in my 1991 160,000mi CRX, 2003 187,000mi Xterra, and 2003 91,000mi G35 (Mobil 1 junk never touched that car).

    To be honest, I’m just pleasantly surprised that Amazon has such a great oil. Where it does on further tests doesn’t even matter to me at this point (and I do love the tests). It’s a great price, it works well, and ships fast. My oil search is over. Oh and yea, it was watching these tests on this channel that sealed the deal for me buying Amazon Basic Oil. So thank you.

    Ya know, deep down you know Amazon is a big greedy company that you shouldn't like. . .

      Why should you not like big greedy companies? Especially if they provide good products at reasonable prices.

    When doing the lubricity test maybe next time swap the bearings and test again so both bearings will have liqui moly and amazon marks on them just to rule out any variance in each bearing roller, great video by the way and awesome results

      Agreed its one of the best oils in the sub $25.00 that i have ever UOA blackstone tested. But the Amazon/Supertech oil is very good stuff.
