- Why spend $11.95 for a quart of Red Line synthetic motor oil when you can buy a quart of full synthetic Walmart SuperTech for less than half that price? Is Walmart SuperTech as good as Red Line? Let's find out! I purchased both of these products using my own money. I am not sponsored by Walmart or Red Line 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 and will advance to next round in the oil championship series.

How testing pro honda shaft drive oil against the other brands ?
I would LOVE to have Mag-1 added to the list/test. I have had great results so far with Mag-1.
wal mart has changed oil suppleries ?
Kirkland?
Hi..nice job but you are missing FYP.. I realize it may not have the distribution area of old brands, but the subjective opinion from users is it is a very high quality low price product. Run it , especially the pure synthetic and conventional, so we can compare to Valvoline, Rotella gas truck, Mobil 1, Supertech, etc. .thx
If you do this every 4 years, you can call it *THE OILYMPICS.*
Sounds greasy
That’s pretty slick
To many people would grease the judges
It'd probably be a good idea too cause the formulations change
Hope it doesn't get rigged
NO WAY YOU DID THE VIDEO I SUGGESTED LAST WEEK! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for requesting this one!
@@ProjectFarm what about dixiecox brand :(
lucky kevin i always ask if he will review dixiecox :(
I suggested it too recently. I bet a lot of people wanted to see the results.
@@clintwhite4372 i know man dixiecox is an incredible brand with awesome results
5 qts of Super Tech performed so close and can be had for about the same price as 1 qt of Red Line which makes Super Tech the best value for most people.
Thank you for the feedback
Yes and no. This testing is not really a test of how the oils will perform in a machine for 3, 6, 12, 23 years of use. That said given how short of a time frame most people own their car's before buying another one and the way most people use their cars any name brand oil will do. Keeping the oil changed, filters changed, fluids topped up between oil changes and keeping all of the paths for dirt sealed up tight is key! Redline is not targeted to your average consumer and their daily driver. Redline is a boutique oil. Redline really shines when people drive their cars like they just stole them daily or when the daily driver is also taken to the track for track day or extreme off roading etc... I have a 1995.5 Tacoma that is 23 years old, a 2003 Camry that is 17 years old, a 2007 Camry 13 years old and they are all as clean inside as a factory new engine. and show no signs of wear even on timing chains and sprockets. They burn no oil discernible on dipstick and weep so little oil that you have to look hard to find the little weep spots. It would be silly for the average person that buys for 3-5 years and trades in or leases for 2 years over and over again to spend big on boutique oils for daily driving.
Let's see...50% price increase for 1.85% performance increase? Sorry Red-Line....you lose.
@@smitty3973racing : The old adage "You get what you pay for" holds true for a great many endeavors, but it still has its exceptions. I use SuperTech oil on my cars (most recently a 2014 Camaro V6). My brother says I'm crazy for using that "cheap Walmart oil", but every informed mechanic says that I'm doing right and saving money.
Not Telling Supertech is a decent oil, plenty of notably better oils for just a little more money though. Like Pennzoil Platinum. Red Line is a great oil, just because some find it isn’t worth it “for them” doesn’t mean it isn’t worth it, period.
My 05 mustang v6 used supertech since day 1. It now has 356,000 miles and still going with the same engine. Good maintenance = long engine life.
Impressive! That's a lot of miles
my 94 5.0l mustang has 215k and super tec the 4 yrs i've had it. works great.
my man...fuckin ahhh
Nice. My 86 5.0 has 330,000 on it and still rips, though the body is a total rot-bucket. I only used Castrol GTX 20/50 in it w/ a 4K mi change interval. I plan on putting the motor in an FFR Cobra.

I can never get tired of watching your fantastic testing videos! A++
Thank you very much! Your latest "free energy" video awesome! Thanks again for the positive comment and I'm looking forward to your next video!
@@ProjectFarm Todd's and @electronicsNmore's videos are awesome. looking forward to BOTH of your guys' next vids.
Thank you very much Jimmy!
@@ProjectFarm yours are the best performed at home tests for motor oil. I'm looking forward to the next contenders. 👍🏽
Agreed!
I joined patreon exclusively to support Project Farm.
I do not regret that decision one bit.
Thank you very much for supporting the channel!!
me too! LMAO
Same here lol
You give me the heeby jeebies hahaha
I'll admit I was skeptical of "cheap oils" like Amazon Basics and SuperTech.
But then I saw the pricing, and watched your testing between AB and Mobil1, and that sold me. Been using SuperTech in most of my customer's vehicles, and including my own. I even prefer their filters over Fram's when I go to Walmart to buy all of it. When you can change oil for less than $20, that's a value.
Totally changed how I feel about Super Tech, well done!
Thank you
@@ProjectFarm Anyone know when they switched to Warren ?
Many years ago the Super Tech oil listed Shell as their supplier on the price tags in the store.
For me, something worth trying.
I stopped everything I was doing when I got a new video notification from Project Farm.
Great job as always. Good to see the playoffs have begun. 😎👍🏼
Thank you very much!
+99.... Yep. There are a few guys I sub to where I will drop what I'm doing to check it out and PF is one of them.
I stop everything as well, lol
And in other news, a man died today while undergoing quadruple bypass surgery. Hospital staff say the surgeon involved suddenly became distracted with his phone and was heard uttering 'Project Farm' over and over...
I wish you were my neighbor. Honestly, I watch everyone of your videos. In my opinion you are one of the best on UA-cam.
Thank you!
I think i would get tired of hearing a lawn mower run for hours a day!
I'll second that. Great content.
Lol I was just about to comment about the lawn mowers too
Same here! I would surely hang out with him frequently.
My brother who is a ASE certified mechanic, said “spend your money on an oil filter rather than the oil.” He indicated that most (synthetic) motor oil was the same, but that filters were wildly varied.
A video testing oil filters would be very handy.
Thanks for the suggestion.
The MOST important filter is the Air filter!
Why not stick with OEM oil filter if you are not extending your interval?
@@Mewzyc you’re absolutely right. The way I understand it is, spend your money on high quality oil filter and then the oil is where you can save money.
Motorcraft has great filters.
I love your videos. You put a massive amount of time and work into them.
I’m glad you made a bracket for the oil shootout.
Thank you!
I recommended this on the Amsoil, royal purple video! Should prove to be very interesting.
@@ProjectFarm Sorry if I missed it, but who made the Sweet 16 bracket? Shell Rotella T6 make the cut?
@@fukimoto Isn't Shell Rotella T for large none gas trucks? I know it's great for air cooled V twin motorcycles.

I just wanna point out I suggested a series comparing oil brands against each other about a month or two ago. He really does read these comments
He does and he completes the tests extremely well!
I replied on a few of the comments trying to encourage him to do Red Line, I was really happy when I got this E-Mail!
Best channel out there with no sponsors just real world testing 😀
I recently suggested he test the Walmart oil, and here it is. Yep, he reads, he acknowledges, he tests. Love this channel.
@Ultra CNC Liar! Many other You Tubers do too.
I just switched to Super Tech full syn because of this video. Your zero bias, zero opinion approach yields real world results that are hard to argue with. Very well done, keep up the good work! 👍
Thank you!
Another great test. I have been using Supertech in my truck for the past 40K miles with no issues. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
The timelapse of the oil going from clear to tar was very satisfying ..lol
Warped Perception, thank you very much! You've got an amazing channel and I always look forward to your videos! I recommend your channel to everyone. Thanks again for watching the video!
I've been using Super Tech full synthetic for almost 20 years. No oil related issues so far. That really speaks for itself. Nuff said. Cool video!! 😎
Thank you!
Warren Distributions I think knows what they are doing as they make the formulas. I think we all get too worked up over Oil, I tend to use Mobile One but damn I might just go with Amazon Basics (I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart jut a thing I have).
J.T. Cooper I just switched all my cars and lawn mower and ATV over to super tech oil read lot of good things about and can't beat the price
Same here, along with ST filter.
PDB Long oh yeah I also use there filters too
I don't know how you'd test it, but I would love to see a test of gunk build up and how well oils remove the build up.
Best channel! So stoked to see you doing so well brother. I’m watching all the oil and fuel additive videos right now and the information gained from them is unparalleled.
Thank you!
SuperTech vs AmazonBasics sounds like a great idea! 👍
Thank you!
They are the same oils.
That review would be Spider-Man vs Spider-Man
ua-cam.com/video/a9DWGtXpYUc/v-deo.html skip to 5:48. Amazon basic high mileage synthetic. This cant be the same oil as super tech
Project Farm please but in mobile1 as a basic standard please
I have a high performance 1997 Chevy S-10 and you showed me that Red Line catastrophically failed the wallet test. Thanks for exposing their product as hype.
It is indeed very expensive. Did it cause any harm to the S-10?
The extra zinc in Redline is heat activated. I am not sure if a test like that was performed.
@@elpcmaster unless he is drag racing the truck or doing truck pulls, using supertech, a decent filter and changing it on time is the best bet.
Right now Red Line isn't happy with Project Farm. Better watch your back. Big oil is probably looking at you.
@@springfield03sniper true. No need for Redline unless you have a flat tappet cam like I do.
Yes, I just started buying super tech and was curious to know how it stacks up against the more expensive brands. I guess keep saving that money. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! It's a great product.
@@ProjectFarm -Thank you for test proof. Super Tech 10W 30 Full Synthetic, changed every 5,000 miles. 2004 W-22 {22,000#} 34' 8.1 gas motor home with tow.
Mountain western states, high altitude with added tow load, necessitates high revs often in high heat. 110,000 miles. Uses 1 qt per 1,000 mi... as always.
Don't forget that where redline shines is stability and durability, meaning it will perform pretty similar to new with a load of thousands of miles on it that's where good and bad get separated.
I've used super tech for years with no problems oil usually good to 5k with their regular oil. I'm using synthetic super tech this time lol glad it's gotten a good review. This will probably be my go to oil for my third gen 4runner
I've been using supertech oil since the 90's. Great oil. They use to come in different bottles then. All my cars went over 300k miles with no engine oil related issues. Key is to change your oil when youre suppose to, better than buying the top brand oil going for $10 a quart. 5 quart jug of supertech synthetic is $15 lol can't beat it
Thank you a ton for your hard work! love the real life tests, awesome job!
we always read in forums what people favor and see ads of manufactures claiming to be the best!
but your work is just awesome!
thanks again
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching!
Super tech vs. Amazon...to solve the mystery if they are the same oil!
Thank you for the video idea!
I’ll be waiting for this video!!!
They are the same, look up the numbers... Warren produces both
walmart just buys whatever's cheapest, sometiems it's pennzoil
On the NissanClub forum, I think it was, I read about Super Tech vs. Mobil 1, @Mad Adam. At about 140k miles a regular user of Super Tech sent in his oil to Blackstone labs. His engine was doing great. The additive package in the Super Tech is actually very weak in comparison to more expensive brands like Mobil 1 and Castrol, to name a few. I paid for a few tests before the extra funds being spent just didn't seem worth it any more. I have the same engine as the other gentlman, I had at the time about 40k less miles on my engine. My engine didn't show as good as his. He probably was a more responsible driver who took it easier.
Very low additive packages must be fine for people who can keep taking it easy. If you push an oil harder, farther, carry big loads like I have, those kinds of things, then more protection is more needed for you.
Some people's take away from this could be that Super Tech is still better. I just think that Super Tech is good enough if it's not pushed.
Wow.... I am really disappointed with Red Line in this test. Super Tech on the other hand did better than I would have imagined.
I wish he had some way to show oil breakdown over time through multiple cycles. That ZDDP in Redline should really give it the edge over many other brands as its a requirement with flat tappet engine designs to prevent premature wear.
ZDDP isn't the be all-end all. Some studies show it to be worse with certain ratio's, & gets even more complicated when mixed with certain brands/formulas.
just because supertech did well doesn't mean redline did poorly.
@@F0XD1E its 2x the cost of course it did poorly
Redline shouldn't be used isndaily drivers. It has too much zinc. It's oil made for hot rods or classic cars with flat tappet cams.
Thank you. You answered a question I’ve been wanting to know the answer too for a long time. I read a couple comments and super tech got pretty good reviews. Once again thank you for this very informative test.
Thank you!
My 240k mile Accord has been running Super tech synthetic since 70K miles and runs like a clock so I can't complain.
Once again, nice video. You should compare Mobil 1 synthetic oil to Liqui Moly synthetic and Motul.
Thank you for the video idea!
liqui moly molygen would be nice
Throw Amsoil Euro in there with Motul 8100 xcess. Would be a great comparison if top end synthetics. 👍🏻
I think liqui moly beats mobile 1 by very little I seen other test and they make good stuff
I realy want to know i motul is any goog.
For a non-professional lab you do a great job testing using methods that I think everyone can understand !
Thank you!
The difference being not even close in tolerance and control. But it doesn't matter since project farm isn't a lab and isn't selling a product to business where liability is a huge factor. It's great for what it is.
Thank you so much! You're working your ass off doing these tests for us. I had no idea that SuperTech oil was such a good product, I have to say that I'm now considering using it in my cars. Who would have thought that you could get quality for such a low price in this day and time. Keep up the good work, Project Farm, you've established a very good reputation and you've earned it.
Thank you very much! I use it in my vehicles as well as Amazon Basics and Rotella T6. All are great
I have been using Supertech for years and for $17 for 5 quarts I'll take it over any high dollar brand.
I use Walmart oil and never had a problem. I've ran From NY to Miami round trip and never needed to add oil
YEAH, ME TOO, the info most don't have: Walmart tells name brand manufacturers to supply the same product with their (walmart brand name) or Walmart will not distribute the "Name brand" many people don't realize how huge walmart's market share is so the companies usually fold and do it (meaning their brand names "like Supertech" etc., are generally the exact same product as that labeled Mobil or chevron, etc., I have this on authority from a long time friend who was a high-level executive for a major supplier in a certain industry (nameless here) and he told me this is Walmart's SOP, and since they are usually the largest distributor most companies comply.
@@miketonon7946 Yeah pretty much the same it's just Fords "formula". I'm pretty sure its bottled at the same location. For the price of Supertech and the quality that you get I'll stick to that for now.
@@dmmusicmusic 💯
Ive always used mobil 1 because I think the packaging looks a lot better. But learning a tad bit more about oil, the price difference doesn't seem to be worth it anymore. I was quite shocked how much cheaper the supertech oil was.
Cooked and cold oil lubricity test would be interesting I think.
Great recommendation!
I second that!
Never thought about a cold lubricity.. That would be cool.
makes sense!
Like a cold start wear test! I LIKE!
Dude...you're the best! What an awesome test...guess I'll be using Supertech synthetic from now on. Goodbye, Mobil1 and Pennzoil Platinum!
Thank you
Pennzoil Platinum actually came in second to only Amsoil. If I can't use Amsoil, I'd use Pennzoil Platinum.
Great review! I have been using SuperTech oil in all my vehicles for a long times now knowing that it is compatible with the brand names motor oils. Now, finally got prove to back it up and saving me money!! Thanks again.
Thank you!
i have mechanic shop and changing oil in Iran i found your videos very useful . thank you god bless you

You are welcome!
Awesome test, really appreciate the effort you put to your testing!!! Thanks for all you do!!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Holy crap we need to start using Supertech!!! Cheapest synthetic around.
If you have a Fleet Farm near you, they run deals on Citgo Full Synthetic for $2 a quart, or Citgo Blended for $1 a quart. API certified, SN Plus, etc.
Thank you!
The tests performed here do not cover a complete review of the oil . It does not even mention TBN, which is what keeps the internals of your engine from rusting out. SuperTech doesn't even come close to Redline when it comes to these types of additives.
@@elpcmaster TBN doesn't stop rust, engine blocks are usually Aluminum which physically can't rust, SuperTech's TBN is within a totally fine rating, and higher TBN doesn't even mean a better oil to begin with as excess TBN can result in excess ash production. An oil's primary purpose is lubricity, which SuperTech does really well at, and detergent suspension of contaminants, which all meet manufacturer specs and you're literally talking about minuscule particles in difference between most of these modern detergent packages (if they meet all standardized testing).
Redline has excess ZDDP which is why it has a higher TBN, but modern engines don't even need ZDDP and if anything that can result in excess sulfur production; if you have a classic car, absolutely you need it, but if you have a modern Civic or Camry or whatever no, you don't, and SuperTech meets specs all the same and will still warranty and care for a vehicle for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Citgo is majority owned by PDVSA of Venezuela.
You are supporting that Government by buying it.
Something to consider.
Loving the March Madness bracket of oil performance testing!
Thank you!
Great videos!!!! Well edited and presented always with good to know information. It's nice watching your videos because you take the time to do things many of us wish we had to time to do!!! Love it, thanks!

Thank you

I use SuperTech all the time. Good stuff. Good price.
Thanks for watching!
I use it all the time in my car it's really good stuff and there's no reason to pay more for the name brands. Some people like to throw their money away lol.
Same here , I just hide the packaging so my truck doesn’t see it. It hasn’t let me down so far
Great job ! I've been using Super-tech for many years, and have been satisfied. This video puts my mind at ease knowing that my engines have not suffered noticeably.
Thank you! It's a great oil
LOOOOVE your very methodical, scientific tests!
Helping keep my car in the best condition it can be!
Thanks!
Been wondering this for years! Thank you!
Thank you!
Make the oil container of the Lubricity tester aluminum.
Put it on an accurate warmer-hotplate. Heat the oil
to simulate actual running engine temps.
That could also test the thermal breakdown I
was speaking about before.
Love your videos, Todd!
Thank you for the video idea!
Good point. Oils have heat activated anti-wear additives that give oils better film strength at higher than ambient temperatures in the neighborhood of 230F, which is the engine oil operating temperature in the oil pan. However, some oils film strength such as regular Mobil 1 synthetic and Mobil 1 Annual protection degrade at higher temperatures as they approach 300F, which is the temperature some of the hottest parts of the engine like cylinder bore achieve. See Amsoil's link to four-ball wear test conducted at 302F: dextrous-lubricant.com/amsoil/PDF/g3115.pdf
Lab tests are done @100C. Oil shouldn't go over that for more than a very short period using the vehicle as intended.
I switched from Valvoline maxlife FS to Supertech High mileage FS. I would normally burn about 1 qt per 3k miles with Valvoline. After switching to Supertech, it's a quart every 6k miles, sometimes even less! Great oil, incredible price. Thanks for the video verifying.
Impressive results!
010steveo Valvoline conventional took my 98 Buick to 311k before it ate a camshaft with 3k mike oil changes. Can’t be that bad imo.
Can't thank you enough for doing this test. I see that "SuperTech" brand on sale all the time at good old WalMart. After watching this, I am going to change my car's oil and use Super Tech. It is way way cheaper than all the other brands. Today is 10/1/21 and I've been told oil is going to skyrocket. Great Test you did, I did not see the purpose of the "Flow" test, but that might have something to do with how well the oil get's into the upper cylinders? Sorry I wrote a book. Keep the tests coming. This is how you find out how good stuff really is!
Outstanding video - outstanding work, sir!
Thanks!
The amount of effort you put into these videos is amazing. Well done! (As always)
Thank you
Been using supertech for years. From my experience, it works just as well as oils that cost twice as much. I use conventional oil and change it about every 4k. Got almost 300k on a V10 Ford truck without any issues
Thank you! That's a lot of miles!
me too, only synthetic at 6000 miles.
@@patriciareynolds2729 02 Tahoe 500k miles!!

What great confirmation; my oil for 18 years- super tech full synthetic has just proven itself. I'm sold again. Will never buy any other oil for my cars or diesel truck. Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you!!
Very informative, I catch myself watching these videos all the time.
Thank you very much!
I love the playoff bracket. You have balls challenging 100 years of oil fanboyism :D You'll probably get tons of hate on your outcomes, but don't let it deter you from finding the truth!
"Frampa" will in the comments section somewhere. I can smell the moth balls and peppermint candy.
Project farm, if you ever decide to make an almanac/book with all your test results I would be giving them out as Christmas gifts.
Thank you!
Produce a bracket.. Recieve shit. Just like in regular sports.
People act like the formulas for oil have always been the same, they change often.
Super tech surprised me! Very good. Not enough of a difference to really matter that much. Good stuff bro. 👍
I'll use it in the future for sure. Thank you
Thank you for the test. I was wandering about this and you definitely answered the questions
You are welcome!
I suggested you test Supertech and you delivered. Sheesh, you are the man! Thanks for doing this test.
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm // I own a small trucking company and I bought the Walmart Dinosaur oil because it had the same properties on the label as the top brand my buddy uses at his company.

Todd, now please lubricity test the cooked oil 👍
Thank you for the video idea!
Love that you made a tournament bracket for all the comparisons.

Great job once again! Thank you. I just started using the Amazon Oil 0w-40 in my 133k mile N54 BMW engine. Before that I used the Mobil 1 European formula. Had my valve cover off at 132k and a BMW tech told me it looked brand new under there still.

Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm Let me just echo that request.

Great tests as always!
I'd love to see the "cooked" oils go back through the wear tests to see what (if any) changes occur. 👍
Great recommendation!
Love your comparisons.
Looking forward to the next Showdown.😎😆
Thank you!
Real thorough, well done!
Thank you
Great test! The results speak for themselves.
Thanks!
Ironic to think that Walmart oil change service uses Castrol GTX instead of supertech as default.
Castrol GTX is a good oil! Scotty Kilmer loves that oil!
Wawonas..... Castrol is good but remember you can specify ANY OIL that Walmart carries and they will use it. AND you can specify the EXACT filter you want.
Most chain stores like Wal-Mart or Canadian tire u can purchase whatever oil u want off the shelf in the store and just pay the Labour to have the oil changed.
Probably get a better price/co-op advertising deal with Castrol.
Jay Lee does that change the pricing of the oil change?
"Pick Up On This" by the Mini Vandals sounds like a royalty-free version of "Lazy Eye" by the Silversun Pickups
Best YT channel when it comes to great utility suggestions 👍
Thanks!
Keep up the great work.
Love the thermo toy and seeing flex in griddle.
Thanks 👍
Ran Supertech synthetic in my car for 10k and sent it to Blackstone labs. Still had life left in it. Use it for all my cars now.
Impressive results!
,,,. !!!! ,,,. ,. !!!! ,,,,,.
All supertech engine treatments such as oil additives , fuel system cleaners, etc. I really want to see a comparison between lucas oil stabilizer vs supertechs.
Thank you for the video idea!
The main difference I've seen is how thing supertech is compared to lucas
I use the fuel treatment comes in same bottle as Lucas but a tad darker, I noticed no difference using between the two brands 👍🏻
You thought of everything in this video bravo!👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you
Awesome test man!
Thank you
watched video 3x. followed griddle cooking instructions exactly. oil still tastes terrible.
Try adding cream and sugar.
Funny!
At least there no toxic to consume motor oil. Enjoy to eat or drink?
Btw, used oil is unsafe to consume because of metal shaving particles.
@@technocody9296 I heard it's good to have iron in your diet
Love the 2019 playoffs. Pennzoil ultra is my horse. Keep the videos going love em!
Thank you
Nice work. Helpful and a public service. Thanks.
You are welcome!
I had always used top tier synthetic brands for oil changes I do myself in my VW Jetta. Money was a little bit tight recently so I was able to afford 5w30 synth high mileage Super tech. Better than old oil I suppose right? . ... I was a little worried at first but after reading several reviews, forums and videos like this one I think I'll be just fine. A little peace of mind I suppose. Thanks for the video!
Same here bro it’s good to see that am not the only one cheers
It's good stuff don't worry
Richie Gillum that oil is just fine. Always buy a top shelf oil filter
I would be more worried about driving a vw than what oil you purchased
Yupp Oil is great oil filter though needs to be the top tier
I've been using the SuperTech for a few years and I'm sold on how well it works.
Thank you!
Id love to see a test on The cheapest oils from Dollar General.:)
Great test idea!
Read the label. If it says SN 10W-30 then it is. If it says SA, don't. If you have no options (no parts store, no Walmart) go to a chain supermarket or gas station-minimart if you have to, and pay the marked price. Beats buying a new engine or, more likely, a new vehicle entirely. SA oil in an emergeny is only for filling your vehicle to the add mark until you can get to where you can buy some real oil.
Different products have different specification. Dollar General oil will probably match the performance of the same weight and grade under any other label. It comes from a know refiner. I have researched were motor oil comes from. It might surprise you.
@DeepForest Dollar Tree had a brand called SMB @$1 a pint. I would have used it in an old import, either the one I had then or the one I have now. But they changed brands, and I can't be sure the product they now have. My strange plan with my current vehicle is to put in a 15,000 mile filter and drain and fill every 2,000 miles with 10W-30 dino. The filter is hard to get to, so why fight Mother Nature?
Places like Dollar General and gas station are why PQIA petroleum quality institute has its shame list. It’s ALWAYS THE SAME. Always an oil brand you never heard of. As often as not that name even sounds like one of the big names in some way or alludes to power, speed, racing ect.
Avoid those like the plague buy one with the correct SAE stamp and change with regularity and you are all good.
@@drizler Generally you are correect, but I know how to research things. Dollar Tree at one time had a brand I would have used. They have new one now which also has the SAE stamp on it, but I cannot verify the source of it, so I will not use it. All of this got started with some pushback against the oil snobs and their advocacy of synthetic oil. I called synthetic a "vanity product" and said I was going to use SMB 10W-30 in my vehicle to prove the point. When SMB was replaced with another product, I dropped out.
Nothing wrong with synthetic either except that it is expensive, but if you stay within the specifications of the products you are using and use the correct ones for your vehicle you are not going to have any oil related problem. If using synthetic encourages someone to remember their maintenance schedule, that's good. But it shouldn't be used in old engines that may have leaks because synthetic does leak more. Better to use conventional and change it regularly unless you don't care about the drips. After all, the Earth is going to be swallowed by the Sun anyway in five billion years. There goes everything!
Find myself sitting up in bed watching all project farms oil races! Why!! Can't help it! Great Job as always amazing
Thank you!
I know this is an old video but they are always very interesting! Should do the lubricity test with cooked oil also.
Still waiting for a motorcycle 20w-50 shoot out! Keep up the good work!
Still very interested in seeing Amazon Basics vs. SuperTech since they're both made by Warren!
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm Can you conduct an experiment between Amazon Basics vs. SuperTech to solve our curiosity?
Kirkland/Costco oil is by Warren too. Has a Super Tech vs. Amazon been done yet?
Maybe Warren Distribution (Super Tech) vs Warren Distribution (Amazon Basics) vs Warren Distribution (Costco/Kirkland) isn't happening because all three are chemically the same with the same additives and @project farm was asked kindly not to point that out.
Chemical analysis is ever so revealing...
Maybe? Eh? Plausible, even though PF isn't paid...
@Moist Gnome Maybe it would be best to let him answer. I believe he still reads comments to his videos.
From a corporate point of view, the manufacturer may have an interest in protecting their multiple clients. Not protecting them might lead to higher prices for consumers by discouraging stores from carrying their product. It's a whole trickle down possibility.
Having managed at an electronics company that made rebranded/rebadged products for other companies as well, I have had to ask for reviewers to refrain from doing head-to-head competitions. We did not pay for our reviews either.
I didnt give super tech much thought b4 this video. May give it a try now. Keep up the great videos
Thank you!
It works just fine for normal change intervals.
Another great test video! Thanks
Thank you!
Video ideas...Take a look at the effect of using a racket extension (vs no extension) on a torque wrench application. Another one, look at the use of anti-seize on bolt threads and how it impacts applied torque. Keep up the great videos!
Just picked up (2) 5 quart containers of Super Tech Full Synthetic yesterday because of this video....$15 each vs $38 for Mobil 1......I call it a 2 for 1 sale...
Thank you!
Thank you!
NightForce 1 where do you live ? In Socal Oc is around 24$ for mobil 1
ST is 14 here and m1 is 26,
Please don't compare apples to oranges to sensationalize.
Mobil 1 is $22.
That expensive Mobil 1 is their top ONE YEAR LIFE product.
I live in New England.
My mind was instructing my fingers to type $28 and my fingers weren't cooperating typing $38. Tractor Supply sells it anywhere from $28-$30 for 5 quarts.
My apologizes!
I am impressed with Super Tech. Great work. Thanks.
Thank you!
These are PSAs of the most important sort!
Love these videos, thank you for your work✌✌🏽🇺🇲
Thanks and you are welcome!
