      Paul M Understandable theory but why would BMW spend Millions in engineering & R&D the high performance $100,000+ M Series engines only to skimp out on developing mediocre engine oil to protect it?
      Oil plays a tremendous part in performance & reliability. Why would they first go through all the trouble of developing their own oil only to skimp on quality just to turn a profit? At the risk of their reputation & costly warranty repairs.
      There's much much more profit to be had skimping elsewhere where not so much is at risk

      I based my BMW information on 6 year old UA-cam videos from 2013! Link below:
      ua-cam.com/video/g7Tc-YkJRxk/v-deo.html
      It was a Russian BMW mechanic literally boiling 2013 version of BMW oil along with Castrol Edge in a round bottom flask using ceramic heaters. I thought this was a very good quick simulation of heat on the oils. Unfortunately, I have been referencing this outdated video.
      Prior to 2015, BMW actually used CASTROL as their supplier. It was German Castrol Softec TXT. Strange how it left more carbon and residue vs the Castrol Edge tested at the same time. So confused. Regardless, I have never bought Castrol except GTX for lawn mowers and topping off friends' high milage beaters.
      Guess what? BMW oil is excellent. I take my words back. In 2015 BMW switched to Shell oil for factory fill Turbo oil. THAT (Shell) is good stuff in Europe and the USA. You are correct. BMW had a requirement that would not be met by the older Castrol oil. They needed a better SN Plus type oil for their tens of thousands of upcoming turbo engine. Shell

    Here is a great idea for you to try on a lawnmower... Running your simple motor on hydrogen only. As a lawnmower only has one piston, it would take very little gas to fill up the chamber. I’ve wondered for quite a few years how well this would work but I use the old style of turbine blade lawnmower that uses no fuel or electricity so I’m out on this one.

      Paul M according to Pennzoil’s website the Ultra Platinum flashes off at 17C higher than the base Platinum (224C vs 207C.) Other than that the main difference is the amount of detergents. So the Ultra Platinum would’ve just done better than the Platinum in the first round, it would’ve won.

We use it EXCLUSIVELY in every new engine build that comes out of the building. We build mostly high HP vintage muscle car, strip and track engines. Never had an issue or complaint as far as I know and have a lot of return business from those who are converts from the big names.
    Their "Nutra" fuel additive is what I use in lieu of Sta Bil...and does a great job. Their gear lubes are also very good! We have a lot of Harley owners use our stuff as well!

      @dflowers4354 5 років тому

      Richard Skipper I can buy a gallon of Schaeffer's for $21 from my local representative. that's $5.25/ quart for a full synthetic motor oil with a very good reputation. Mobil 1 is a good oil don't get me wrong but if you have been around and have not been doing your homework (research and development), then you're going to get passed by better products in competition to be number one. Mobil 1 has definitely come up in the years as far as staying competitive. however, I am afraid this is due to the ingredients (detergents, base chems, and other additives) being of better quality. The tests he does here in this video really do show a good idea of how these oils work. the concept of the tests here are on a more generalized generic scale but he is not a scientist and thus doesn't have the fancy equipment. Although entertaining as it may be, the general take away of the performance in his tests is pretty clear. That under not only under environmental circumstances, but general operating circumstance that the performance of the oil will show up when put through generalized tests. It is good research and fantastically executed!

      From what I observed, he doesn't necessarily determine the oil level. I assume he now has an exact measurement.

As well as when the lubricity tester is running it doesn't spit too much oil out when it's in motion.

      Oh, and that is 5 quarts not just a gallon!

      Yup for that price point nothing may beat it unless you go pay more like amsoil possibly.

    I love watching your content and i am an amsoil dealer so i use your content as ads and it brings you traffic! i would like to see a showdown between Amsoil sig series and Amsoil Zrod high zinc formula for classic cars! Also i think it would be interesting to see results with the bearing test using the burnt oil and the cold oil in 2 separate tests. I think it would be great to see what oils are best at protecting the bearing at sub zero temps as that is when most engine wear occurs. I would be interested to see the difference in the additive package for these as well. Thank you so much for your very thorough content!

    Unfortunate for Red Line. The film strength test is probably the most important overall. Still a great oil choice.

    You sure do your homework on the oil specifications. Engine oil is far more complex than most people realize. You make the oil races so real I find myself on the edge of the seat. Great job!

    Amsoil is like the best engine oil out there. My brother uses a full synthetic amsoil in his chevy derimax. Me and my dad use a full sythectic 2 stroke amsoil in almost all of our 2 stroke engines. Amsoil is very expensive but I think it is worth the money.

      It's not even expensive if you leverage the extended OCI it is capable of; you save time and money.

      But yes it is great oil, I havent found anything that mixes more easily and burns more clean.
      There is a distinct difference between Dominator 2 cycle racing oil and other top shelf oils.
      You can mix it real rich too and it still burns ok.

      The amount of variables would be a pain in the ass, I do agree. It was an idea at best! And your welcome Todd! Anytime.
