What about Rotella T6 5w40 vs Mobil TDT 5w40? Also can you do a 0w-40 oil comparison, or even 0w-40 vs 0w30? I know 5w-30 is usually a recommended oil, but living in Northern Illinois I like to use 0w in the winter (or even all around better cold starts in which engine wear is supposed to be most prevalent). I've also heard that Xw-40 has better Oil Film Thickness for better protection than Xw-30 during operating temps, can you confirm? Thanks!
@ Project Farm, Could you advise whether if I should use the T6 5w30 or 5w40 for my 2015 Q50 Infiniti 4dr Sedan Premium AWD 3.7L V6 with 20k miles? 5w30 full synthetic motor oil is what's recommended in the vehicle and it does have a catalytic converter but from what I continue to read is that the T6 5w40 still has the more beneficial formulation vs the T6 5w30. I mean should I try the T6 5w40 or just do the multi vehicle T6 5w30? Maybe I can even mix in just a quart of the T6 5w40 with the rest being T6 5w30? I really don't know. I live in Ohio. I currently use mobil1 5w30 full synthetic.
FYI: I let the ads play in your videos to help a bit. I would be more than happy to donate to you too if my question takes a bit of research on your part: paypal; cashapp, whatever.
How about testing Shell Rotella Gas Synthetic vs high end racing oils, like Royal Purple, Redline or AMSoil. Also, another interesting test would be to try the different formulations of Mobil One. I was at the local Walmart and there are so many different versions of Mobil One. Which one is better?
@@gregkimura5906 check out bobistheoilguy, there are many different lab analysis of many different oils (including mobil variations). As for Shell Rotella Gas Synthetic vs "racing oils", if you are asking for personal advice my (and many) recommendations are all of them are fine so long as changed in 5k mile intervals and full synthetic. Also refer to the owners manual for rating (API SN Plus, ILSAC GF-6A, etc). You can usually find the rating on the oil bottle itself or look it up on the website for the most up to date information.
I would like to see you compare Shell Rotella Gas Truck 5W20 to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W20
You know its going to be a good day when you get to watch the oil races.
Nice!! I love the oil race!
Has there ever been a big pass or does the first one to hit the one inch mark always win?
@@ProjectFarm We just need more screaming and applause, like:
czcams.com/video/gj_F38-yCs0/video.html
Sense of yuma much do yas?? :-D
Now that's funny!
I am a Maintenance Director for a rehab facility. The kitchen Manager asked me for some duct tape today and proceeded to tell me how she and her husband watched a video were a guy was testing different duct tapes. I immediately said, "Project Farm!" lol Was cool to talk to someone else who enjoys your videos. Great job as always!
Awesome! Thank you very much!
@@ProjectFarm one thing that could of made it better is weighing and using caliper on bearing so we know for sure which bearing had more wear, also I believe Pre ignition comment doesnt have to do with SN but rather DEXOS Gen 2.
Also dont work so hard rotating oil containers on the burner , just rotate on the hour and should come out to the same deal as long as on each side equal time ?????
But YOU HAVE THE BEST VIDEOS as I'm SUBSCRIBED !
@@ProjectFarm can you test chainsaw bar oil? Stihl summer and winter, Husqvarna/Jonsered summer and winter, Echo, Poulan, and local hardware store brands.
Hi there..nice competitive videos..there some videos on CZcams about using baking soda with super glue...can you do some tests about strength of that solid mass...
@@ProjectFarm ARE YOU A GAY???
*Who would like to see OEM/Aftermarket oil filter testing?*
*Also what filter and oil are you guys using and change intervals on what car?*
I definitely want to test them. Hope to build the equipment needed to test them properly soon.
MEEEEE
I’ve wanted to see this for some time
And formal results, like Blackstone Labs, for the oils as well--after time versus new.
There are many other parameters (like thin film adhesion and lubrication) to look at. And to see if those values, including viscosity, hold up over 5000 miles.
That would really be stellar.
Time is something you can never get back. Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into all of these unbiased videos to help millions of us out on decisions for many items. Appreciated. Thanks Project Farm.
Thanks so much!
Your level of care that goes into these tests is unprecedented and the value you bring to us regular consumers is unparalleled. I just wanted to say thank you and keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
Well.....who else is going to make the switch to Rotella from Mobil 1 now? I am. PF has done it again! Great work! Never stop! Love every video!
Thank you so much!
Shell proved itself well!
I am.
@@fidelcatsro6948 shell does great in my old school diesel!
Is it better than amsoil though? I switched to amsoil from Mobil one after seeing the tournament videos and amsoil won.
Here in Norway, your videos get published at 11 pm (or 23:00 as we say in Norway). So every Monday, i need to deside if i want to sleep a long night or watch your new video.
The choise is very easy.
Thank you very much!
@@ProjectFarm same problem and if I fall asleep I watch it again next day.
@@boerbrabant same from Belgium here!
Sweet dreams, then! :D
My God, a 10 minute video is easy to watch in bed.
After watching this video, I switched from Mobil 1 to the shell rotella in my 2010 Silverado about 3 months ago. So far, I’m a believer! Truck used to have a lifter tick at startup for 2-3 minutes, I’ve not heard this tick the first time, since switching to shell. As of now I’m sticking with the shell oil!
Thanks for sharing.
2 years later..........what happened???
@@harryharry3193 I haven’t been able to find the shell oil in any store for about a year now….Amazon has it every now and then but it’s like 70 bucks for a 5qt jug👎🏻
I would say the the diesel t6 would probably do just as good tbh
@@bryonsparkman1386 yes probably
Brother, I can not tell you how much I appreciate your dedication to detail. Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Agreed! About to change my oil!
Amen
This guy has influenced so many buying decisions. Thanks for the info!
Thank you very much!
You are not kiddin. Try to find this oil in Walmart now in a few days & you'll see what I mean.
Same, except for Gorilla glues. Casual inspection revealed them to be a total fraud long ago :-D
I was going to use sea foam in my tractor because I watched his video
Mobil 1 executives left the chat..
this channel is like another level of content quality, a good engineer and fun ideas creates my personal favorite channel to watch all the time. keep up the good work, love your channel.
Thank you very much!
The best channel on real life testing on CZcams.
This is a channel for people to find the product to use
Definitely the best educational channel on CZcams !!!!!!
Agreed, it’s like consumer reports used to be before they downsized. I really like how through and unbiased your report appear to be.
I would love to see you review the various Diesel engine oils. Cummins recommends Valvoline Premium Blue, so it would be interesting to see how that compares to Shell Rotella, or Mobil Delvac, or even Motorcraft.
Thanks for the video idea.
Yes please
I like your idea Marc. Let’s do this one next PF!
I love how you added the hot oil friction test, I've been wanting to see that since you started the oil testing.
Heat testing is what can really separate the competition.
Thank you for the feedback
Yeah he's refined his processes quite a bit since the beginning. Keeps getting better and better
I really appreciate the editing you've done, optimizing the amount of information conveyed, with brief pauses for effect to show a process. I can't emphasize enough that you are the best I've seen at this on youtube, which makes your videos a pleasure to watch even in cases where the topic doesn't interest me which is rare. Thank you.
I concur. Yesterday I spent hours trimming 35 minutes of video down to 12 minutes and am not done yet. It's a lot of work.
Thank you very much!
You should do a video comparing Shell Rotella T4 vs T5 vs T6 diesel oil
Great recommendation! Thank you
Project Farm yes please do this
Would be very interested to see these results
I am interested in this also
@@Ragnarok_xxx I'm running t6 5w-40 in my Subaru sti haha
Fun fact, we use Shell Rotella oil in our wind turbine gearboxes. Considering the fact our turbines have an uptime pushing 96% and are handling temperatures in excess of 90C constantly, it doesn't surprise me how well this is performing. Ironically the fact we used Rotella in the turbines is what led me to investigate if I could get it for my SUV, haha. Epic!
Thanks for sharing.
You use Shell Rotella motor oil in the gearbox? Or some other dedicated oil?
The addition of the operating temperature lubricity test is great! That really shows the results as the engine hits its stride.
Phenomenal job!
Thank you for the feedback
Yeah,,,, I thought it was kinda "hot" myself.
This guy has BY FAR the best channel for these types of tests etc... Love this channel (Project Farm)!
Thank you
Yes you can throw your Consumer Reports away..................................
No he doesnt every test ive seen so far wasnt actually done right.
@@ProjectFarm hey can you do a video on motokote vs liquid moly additives
literally just bought some Shell because a buddy suggested it, this makes me feel awesome about my purchase.
Thank you
@@ProjectFarm I switched from mobile 1 to valvoline because of a previous video, and definitely was happy about the switch. Maybe compare valvoline to shell....full synthetic 5w-30.
Great vids. Love the content.
+1 High mileage full synthetic vs shell. I will make the switch if shell is better.
@@ProjectFarm no, thank you for making awesome content.
@@rustynail914 I made the same switch from mobile1 to Valvoline and it gives me a piece of mind. What you suggested is a good idea to compare Valvoline to Rotella shell gas.
Project farm has the greatest tests anywhere! He does these tests right before your eyes with great explanation of what he is doing. It's amazing that Consumer Reports won't tell you anything without picking our pockets but he does it free! Project Farm keep up the GREAT work! And thank you every time!
After watching your excellent video, Mobil 1's name became Mobil 2! 😂 Great work!
lol. I love it! By the way, you've got amazing videos!!
+1
Mobil2 is when you run your used Mobil1 from your car in an old lawn mower or junky vehicle.
Happy CZcams-ersary (a little late)!
3 years. ~1000 vids, but I can’t find a “blooper reel.” Either you’re a robot, or you’re holding out on us...
lol. I have lot of bloopers. I need to put together a video on it.
@@ProjectFarm Yes please!
@@ProjectFarm I always wondered why you didn't weigh the loss of mass on the lubricity tests. Yah we can kind of see it, but you're pretty objective on everything else - would be an easy stroke no?
Thanks for posting on Mondays, makes starting the week bearable!
I’ve been using full Synthetic Mobil 1 5-30 for years. Looks like I’ll be making the switch to Rotella Shell
Thanks for sharing.
Yes
Friend with 56 Ford car and still running with rotella 30
All full synthetics are great oils over conventional.
Did you make the switch jordan?
You're knocking at the door to 1 million subs PF! I still remember the "I can't believe what seafoam did to my engine!" video lol, great content brother!
Thank you very much!
I have purchased several cans since that video lol Ran one through my 8n right after!
Borginator been running seafoam in all motors from boats to lawnmowers for yrs love it!
This THE video that turned me on to Project Farm.
Used to work at Shell glad they still make great oils
Thank you for the feedback on Shell
What about their gasoline? Is it pretty good too? I'd think they're pretty much close to the same in brand name fuels, just curious. I've used Chevron & Shell, and a couple of small locally owned stations fuels over the years and never noticed any trouble from any of them, but the locally owned station offers non-ethanol fuel, or rather was the only one at the time offering non-ethanol, but only in premium fuel but better than running the ethanol fuels through my small engine equipment so I always bought the non-ethanol fuel from that station for my lawn/garden equipment, ran the Shell or Chevron in my vehicles. Lately I've only been running Shell because I get a few cents off per gallon over the other stations.
*Please* do a video on _gear oil_ yellow metal corrosion!
There's almost no reliable info out there.
Thank you for the video idea!
Oblithian Thats because it’s almost a non existent issue anymore. Sulfer has all but been removed from GL-4 and even most GL-5 gear oils.
I’m in the boat of not knowing what to use in the diff/gearbox of my 2004 Maserati. There is yellow metal but most people are running oils that are not yellow metal safe. Sort of conflicting info out there
@@prevost8686 I had heard that. unfortunately almost non-existant is all it takes to cause a problem. GL-4 is becoming less and less common, even then, as far as I could find rating is unrelated to it's corrosiveness.
...then there's also the issue that Sulphur/sulphates (whatever it is) is not the only thing that can harm synchros. Most manufacturers give no indication as to yellow metal safety, and then, everything I have found is second or third hand information on forums (aside from me manually checking half-a-dozen brands' product data sheets), so who else could say which is or isn't ok?
I am certainly not willing to bet a rebuild on it.
After these results i am switching to rotella. Used mobil 1 for 15years no issues. I feel confident shell will perform just as well if not a little better and at a lower cost. Thank you for honest testing.
Best test and most thorough on CZcams I've ever seen nice job....
Edit: how about a test on motor oil filters direct comparison of Walmart Fram Wix Etc thanks
Thank you!
Yes!!!!!
I believe he did that in a previous video.
FRAM is a piece of JUNK and can cause engine damage , people have to sue this
Fram scam company .
@@ironfistarrival Fram has a well-funded advertising campaign. That's where it ends.
You deserve a CZcams award my friend! This one in particular is pure gold 👏 Thanks!
Thank you very much!
@@ProjectFarm I have a video idea. You can test modern off the shelf conventional motor oils against synthetics. Like Quaker State Advanced Durability 5W30 vs Mobil1 Advanced synthetic 5W30. New conventional oils meet the same specs and industry classifications as synthetics as you can see on the back of their bottles (ilsac gf5, sn plus) so I'm wondering if they perform the same? Blackstone Labs which has analyzed thousands of oil samples over the last decade said in one of their newsletters they do not see any difference in wear metals between conventional and synthetic motor oils.
You make the best videos Project Farm! We rely on you so much for solid straight-to-the-point product reviews. Thank you for everything, every make sure to like the video so he can keep making more!
Thank you very much! Comments like yours keep me going!!!
Agreed. I've flat out changed some of my adhesives and tapes based on his results.
i use the 5w30 version of the shell rotella gas truck oil in my 2019 mazda cx-5 gt turbo, and i am extremely satisfied. i drive my mazda fairly hard and i wanted a robust oil. your video greatly helped me with my choice.
Glad to hear!
I have been using this in my 19 f150 since new, but I cannot find it locally anymore. It's become very expensive where still available online. I bought 6 gallons while on clearance at a local parts store several months ago, haven't seen any locally since.
@@Dat_Sun
Pennzoil is a brand of Shell, you might find the same oil there under a different name.
@@BL-yj2wp Thank you. And I did eventually find it in stock again. I don't know why the supply was short for awhile.
Whenever i start a project i use this channel to search products I'll be using glad I've always ran rotella oil in all my trucks I've owned
Thank you very much!
I can never wait for the next Project Farm video, It's amazing how you make a subject as plain as engine oil so interesting. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
I know, once a week is never enough 😉
Love the oil tests. Would like to see some gear oil tests with Red Line, M1, Amsoil, etc.
Thank you for the feedback
I was thinking the exact same thing... Been looking @ Amsoil for my 2015 AUDI Q5. How about it PF?
@@ProjectFarm Yes please, maybe a new series for gear oil. MTF and ATF. I have 2 manual Honda vehicles and I want to know which one works better
I use Amsoil for all my gear oil, the easy pack packaging is reason enough
Yes that would be great.
I've been using Rotella gas truck since I've seen this. Can't beat it for the price. I love these oil reviews!
Thank you!
I can, Supertech full synthetic in a 5 qt jug.
Best play-by-play for an oil race I've ever seen! Really enjoyed this one, thank you!
i was looking at degreasers to buy, and i just realized, hey wait a minute Farm hasn't done a who's best yet...... well darn it, guess i'm waiting then.
I recommend Blaster.
Great recommendation! Thank you
old school....diesel in a spray bottle. :)
Purple power is the best plus it removes break dust from wheels. It will oxidize bare aluminum so be careful also hard on skin so wear rubber gloves if your going to scrub something.
@@paulreid7370 yeah there is this red stuff you can get at cash and carry and i forget its name its like that, not supposed to put it in a spray bottle, well at least not a mister type, if you breathe that stuff, forget about getting air for a minute....
Only person I know whos garage smells like cooked motor oil.
Thanks again for another great presentation.
That’s awesome I’ve been using Mobil 1 for years and recently bought the shell because it was a LOT cheaper and I wanted to try it I’m glad I did.
Thanks for the feedback.
Where did you find it a lot cheaper than Mobil 1? 5 quarts of Mobil 1 5w30 is $22.37 at Walmart. Same size of the Shell Gas Truck is $31.52 A lot of places have actually discontinued the Shell Gas Truck. Maybe bad timing.
@@JA-rn5qv at the time it was like 15$ at advance auto parts then they stopped carrying it. I have since seen the price of it climb. Still good oil though.
@@timschultes6467 Yeah it's a great oil formulation, especially for heavy duty applications such as towing. It might still make sense for truck drivers that are operating in extreme conditions but at $32+ for the 5-qrt jug I'm not sure it makes financial sense for the everyday car driver that changes their oil frequently as compared to for example SuperTech Full Synthetic which is $15 dollars for the same size. If I had a truck/suv that I was going to put through some extreme use I would definitely choose the Shell Gas Truck oil since that's what it's formulated for. For my daily driver though, just doesn't make sense at this point at twice the price to use it versus SuperTech Full Synthetic which costs half as much and will do just as well under normal, day to day conditions. At $14 bucks you couldn't go wrong. At $32+ only makes sense for extreme conditions that warrant it.
@@JA-rn5qv I work my F-150 but Mobil 1 is fantastic and has proven to me it also gives great protection
I would love to see the Costco full synthetic 5w-30 compared to these as well as the Amazon basics product.
Great test idea! Thank you
Judging by the bottle, I would say Super Tech, Amazon, and Costco are the same through Warren Petro.
If this is the case then the Costco is a way better deal at ~$3 per quart vs the Amazon which is ~$4.60 per quart.
Along with mobil 1 ultimate full synthetic
When did Costco start selling their own oil? I haven't seen it at my local Costco yet, but it's been at least a few months since I looked in that aisle...
Damn! The way you pour those oils/lubricants into those tubes amazes me. I always wait for spillage, but nope!, you're a pro! Great vid bud! Subbed!
lol. Thank you!
Have you ever tested "Diesel Engine Oils"? Would love to see Shell Rotella T5, T6, Amsoil Diesel, Amsoil Synthetic Diesel, Delvac & Mobil1 Diesel oils compete!
Thank you for the video idea!
Matthew Beske
Great question Sir!!
As a commercial long haul Truck driver I would love to see that as well. Been waiting for it as a matter fact.

Over the last year I have come to look forward to Monday at 5PM ET. Thanks!
Thank you!
This is a good one, excellent information. I really love how you've evolved your testing procedures. I remember the mess made from flying oil in earlier videos. Please don't stop.
Thank you for the feedback
since shell and pennzoil merged i wouldnt doubt that shell rotella gas is just pennzoil full synthetic in a different bottle. would like to see a video of shell rotella gas vs pennzoil full synthetic. and another between conventional pennzoil 5w30 vs rural kings providence conventional 5w30
Thanks for the suggestion.
I've been using mobil 1 for years and you almost persuaded me to switch. Thanks for the great videos
Thank you for the feedback
Alex Reinhardt Almost? What is keeping you from switching?
@@chriscall3425 I can get mobil 1 cheaper at costco then I can get the shell
You are getting what you pay for then.
As long as you change oil regularly most any synthetic oil will provide more then enough protection to your engine.
Nice, just switched my beloved 1998 Dodge Ram to Rotella Gas Truck about six months ago. Previous to that I’d run Mobil 1 in it since the day it was delivered to me with 7 miles on the odometer. Mobil just didn’t seem to be what it once was. This was good to see.
Great feedback. Thank you
wow...a 1998 dodge thats still running...im sticking with Mobil 1... thats really impressive
I would have to agree with you. Mobil 1 seems to be living on their past reputation.
2big 2fail I have a 2000 Honda Civic that’s had nothing but 5,000 mile oil changes on cheap conventional lube-shop oil up until I got the car 3 years ago. As long as you take care of an engine and it doesn’t have gigantic design flaws, there’s no reason for it not to last. Your transmission will almost always be the first major failure.
@@4550Boom I feel that way too. Used to be a fan in the late 1990s and 2000s. Then they started introducing so many different types of oils it became difficult to follow, difficult to chose a good one, as their basic oils have depreciated. Became run of the mill group III oils with nothing really special going for them. The case here is an example. Btw, great selection on Project Farms part comparing these two.
Perfect timing , perfect test. Im due for an oil change and Ive been using mobil 1. Switching to shell now.
I thank you, my truck thanks you.
Thank you very much!
I'm sold on the shell, I've been eyeballing it every day at Walmart and I've always used Mobil 1 in my 04 Silverado 2500hd 6.0 but seeing how shell surpassed Mobil in all fields I'm not looking back! Thank you as always for your excellent priceless videos!
Great oil. Thank you!
Could you do a test on which is the best Motorcycle oil?
If you do this test you should compare Rotella T4 to motorcycle specific oils. A lot of people in the motorcycle community swear by T4.
Actually it's T6
I was just about to ask for a similar test to be done! Also oil filters and fuel filter tests
@@bobkinney2430 Both T4 and T6 are JASO MA/MA 2 rated. Rotella T4 is a synthetic blend and Rotella T6 is a full synthetic. But T4 is 2/3rds the price of T6.
T5 for some of us.
@@SateenDuraLuxe T6 is Synthetic....it is the most popular for bikers to save money....it worked ok....but shying issues started and switched back to mobil1. Moot point as gear box is shot.
PF, I love your videos.
I would like to see this oil and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W30 go head to head to see which is better.
Thanks for the videos.
Thank you for the video idea!
That would be a great comparison. Rotella Gas Truck 5W 30 vs Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Both have the same parent company but two different brands names. I would be curious to see how they compare we may be surprised and they come out relatively close.
My 1st thought exactly Pennzoil platinum seems to be the leader of the pack as far as performance but have not seen it against shell rotella this would be a very interesting test
I've seen most all of your oil competition videos and love them. I would really like to see a comparison of each Mobil1 version (particularly the high mileage + extended performance) as well as how different oils specifically marketed as high mileage compare to each other.
Thank you for the video idea!
Thank you. I switch two years ago from Shell to Mobil 1 thinking that I was getting it's a better motor oil, now I know I made a mistake. Thanks so much for your time and effort really enjoy your CZcams
Great feedback. Thank you
I like that you're always improving your testing. This is the first time you have done the bearing test with different temperatures. 😁👍
Thank you!
Once again, we’ll done!!! Thank you for reviewing the new shell oil. I ran it in my wife’s 13 Tahoe for 10k without a problem. And for just $20 at Walmart, no brainer. Thanks again.
Thank you very much!
Steve DeLeo you honestly can’t go wrong with it or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum (it’s like $23 on Amazon now.) Amsoil is just too overpriced and too hard to get your hands on.
John Moore I’ll agree with overpriced, but I can walk into the quicklube place a mile from my home and buy it, and there’s a convenience store a mile past that that sells it too.
John Moore that penzoil ultra has thinner viscosity than that shell.
if you still have the receipt - there may be a $10 off rebate per 5 quart - I just received my check today. I think it is the fastest rebate check I have ever received.
I bought my Shell Rotella Gas Truck oil at Tractor Supply
Wow, I finally had a product that I already buy win a showdown on PF!! Thanks for all you do, hope your 2020 is off to a good start!!
Thank you very much!
I’m a believer in shell now. Great test. Thanks
Thank you!

Thanks for this test, when i was cranking my truck at -40 last month i had these tests in mind!
Thanks for your feedback.
Where do you live for it to be -40?
LemmingRush, Idk where Chris J is at, but we had a ten day stretch in January in Alberta Canada that it was -40°F/-40°C each night.

I have gone through 4 jugs of Rotella Gas Truck after using nothing but Mobil 1 for years, my ride has definitely responded to Rotella very well so I will be sticking with it.
Thank you for the feedback
Where would you say you notice improvement most? I actually just bought rotella full synthetic gas truck oil for the first time and did my oil change today on my 11 SHO. I been experimenting with different oils lately as I noticed my oil got really dirty around the 4k point. That's was with oils like Mobil 1, penzoil platinum, reputable oils. So this rotella holds up better in my SHO
@@r.d.6631 Engine is much smoother and quieter with this oil.
Great info Kevin. I did exact same thing with my beater car I drive to work. 05 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 3800 motor. 179k miles and have used mobil 1 5w30 for last 79k miles and vehicle burns about 1 qt of oil every 3000-3500 mile oil change. Switched to Rotella gas truck 5w30 and just did 1st oil change and it burned zero oil compared to M1. Seem to stay just a bit quieter too. For $18.98 at local TSC store for a 5qt jug I'm sold from here on out.
I was sure you were going to hit 1 million last year. Oh well, this year! 🤜 P.S. You must be an interesting and fun man to hang around. 👍
Thanks.
I want to say thank you, I remember asking for this about a year ago and I really do appreciate you getting to it, all of your videos provide me with expensive amount of information, particularly with motor oils, I'm an assistant manager at a Napa store and am constantly looking for different avenues of information and your videos have become an excellent resource for me.
Thank you very much!
Hey Project-Farm!
I can't tell you how much I enjoy all your video-tests!! I frequently "Geek out" & watch a bunch. You devise some cool/repeatable testing regimens!
You are a credit to CZcams....I sincerely mean that. I manage a couple departments in a Hardware store up in Fargo, ND. Your cold-weather testing/simulations of certain products is REALLY appreciated!
Keep up your fantastic work!!
Thank you very much!
As a Ford owner, I'd like to see motorcraft oil go up for testing!
Thank you for the video idea!
Someone else did the oil tests years ago and motor craft oil came in second right behind ams oil. Beat Mobil 1 really badly. I stopped using Mobil 1 years ago and I haven't regretted it yet
Now I would like to see how good Sell oil can do it against Pennzoil made from Natural Gas
Great test idea!
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum
Juan You are aware the Shell bought Pennzoil several years ago.Look on the back of any bottle of Pennzoil and you will see SOPUS which stands for Shell Oil Products US as in United States.The process of making oil from Natural Gas was perfected buy Royal Dutch Shell. If you have some money to invest Shell pays a GREAT dividend and has since 1898 Symbol RDS.A on NYSE
Ray Nabozny yeah, but the made base it’s not the same, therefore could be a little different between them.
Go to Bobistheoilguy.com it’s a site of engineers and tribologists. Anything you want to know about engine oil is there. The talk extensively about shell and pennzoil. Rotella also utilizes GTL technology as the base oils come from the same refinery. Check it out you’ll be hooked if you have a curious mind.
I've just watched this for the second time. After the first time I watch this I did my first oil change in my new truck with the Rotella gas truck oil! It was on sale so I bought enough for my next two oil changes as well. Thanks once again to Project Farm! You do the best consumer testing in the Country!
Thanks!
Since shell came out with this gasoline oil I switched to shell. I have 3 vehicles and this oil is on the pricy side but I find the budget for it. I feel its an investment for preventive break down for the vehicles. Thank you for your chanel. It's very helpful to me and other CZcams viewers.
Thanks for the feedback. You are welcome! Glad it is helpful!
Wasn't expecting those results. As always, great video and even better timing! This weekend my 282k mile truck is due for another oil change. I think I'll opt for the shell this time if the price is right.
Thank you for the feedback
Thank you so much for doing a "hot" wear test!! You must have heard us. You the man!!
Thank you very much!
Kirkland motor oil? It goes for $20 for 10 quarts, and is fully synthetic!
Thank you for the video idea!
Is that Costco brand?
@@golders99 yes
@@ProjectFarm Yes I would like to see this too. I use Mobil 1 for my daily driven light duty vehicles but that Kirkland stuff looks like a good deal...would actually like to know if it actually performs on par with a common oil like Mobil 1.
Project Farm would def like to see Kirkland vs M1.
Another idea. How about diff fluid tests? Not sure if the same tests apply or different tests are used.
I have been using Mobil1 for all my vehicles and equipment for many years. I have now switched to Shell Rotella gas truck oil because of this! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing
Great review, I'm switching to Shell. How's your tractor doing?
The Ford 5000 is running great. Thank you
said, "How's your tractor doing?"
Usually people ask, "hows your wife or family doing?
Not around here ha ha
Can you do a video using Schaeffer’s full synthetic motor oil, they claim to use a lot of moly and would like to see how it does on all your tests!
Thanks again for your videos!
How about “Amsoil signature series” vs “shell rotella gas truck “?
Thank you for the video idea!
Yes!
I prefer the Shell due to the fact you can go into a store and buy it. Amsoil is like a black market experience.
B. M. Biggs. It’s nice having it dropped off at my house 😂 order it at night before bed & boom it’s there the next day sometimes in the morning before I go to work
B. M. Biggs agreed, but I equate Amsoil to Amway. It would be amazing to see this Rotella vs Amsoil in a future video...I’d even contribute to a fund to offset production costs, just so it might happen sooner!
I'd love to see a comparison with royal purple and see if it lives up to the hype
Thanks for the video idea.
I just put the Shell in my truck, glad to see it was a good choice.
Thank you for the feedback
I’m very excited to see this result!!!
Having seen this, I have always used the 15,000 mile mobil 1 changing every 10 90% hwy miles on my truck (283,000 5.0 f150 2012) I will have to see of you have tested 15,000 mobil 1 in another video.
I just changed oil pan gasket and the bottom end looks great!
Thank you!
I've been a M1 supporter for many years but this video convinced me to switch to rotella, which I've always known to be excellent.
Great to hear!
I would like to see you test Mystik oil. I use it in my semi and would like to see how it compares to others.
You should do a mash-up of all the oil testing videos and call it the "Oilympics" :D
Thank you for the video idea! 2020 Oilympics. lol
💥 This was a great demo, I’ll be switching brands. Thank you very much!
👍
Thank you
Just picked up a new Ford last week Saturday and will be running Rotella Gas Truck oil after my break in period. I know Rotella T is top of the line and I use it in my motorcycle. Glad to see they now offer something for gasoline engines.
Thanks for sharing
Well done Project Farm, I love your content! Have you done this testing for MOTORCYCLE engine oils? I ride a 104ci Harley and use only full synthetic Amsoil products. would love to see this comparison testing! Keep up the great work. Randy
Thank you for the video idea!
I’d love to see a test on the Kirkland brand 0w-20
Great suggestion! Thank you
I just commented this above. I agree!
It should perform similarly to Supertech as they are both refined by Warren
Why are you comparing HD gas truck oil ( Shell) to regular automotive oil (Mobil 1) when Mobil makes a truck specific oil?
@@3stanTflip It's got to be different additive package for truck specific formulation. They could have the same spec and still be different. PF should compare apples to apples.
I watched this on the shelf for years and never considered it. I went straight for the Mobil1. This changes things a little. I may have to change it up and see how this goes.
Thanks for the feedback.
Love the videos keep up the good work. Here in Canada we have a Canadian tire branded oil (motomaster) and it is developed with shell, I would be curious to see how it would compare to the competition, or the shell oil. Motomaster oil runs $59cad/5L on regular price but goes on sale for $26cad/5L. I'd be happy to send a jug to you if you make a video. I'm sure the Canadian viewers would love to know if it's actually decent oil.
Shell Rotella 5w30 oil is no longer available in Canada.
@@dfls5069 saw some today in my local tractor and farm supply store
@@OwenLutz123
What good is it?
It doesn't go on sale
@@dfls5069 I personally don't use rottella for gaser trucks, I use penzzoil ultra Plat. But in my dad's diesel we do. he swares by the rottella for diesels, so I'm really curious to see how similar the CT branded one is compared to the actual rottella branded oil. U are correct it Usually never goes on sale. And it's pretty expensive.
@@OwenLutz123
CT doesn't carry gas truck 5w30 Rotella.
Only a couple places have it now around my area and the oil is 2 yrs old looking at production date on the bottle.
Doesn't go on sale.
$59.99 for 5 Litres of Rotella Gas Truck 5W30. Ouch !
You can get 5 quarts of Royal purple for $49.99.
Question...why do you use moble one as the comparison? Since Penzoil Platnium Plus was the secound place winner behind Amsoil in your head to head videos , ....I would think that would be the mark to compare to.
Great point. Mobil 1 seems to hold quite a bit of the market share and seems to have a large following
Pennzoil has always had a bad rep.,it was known to mess up the valve seats and rings due to the paraffins in the oil.(wax)
@@4gauge10 not any more...platnium plus is the best off the shelf oil now.
Pennzoil is also made by Shell, so it would kind of be testing the same brand. Not to mention Mobil 1 is usually the synthetic oil that most people recognize and use based on familiarity with the brand.
Penzoil is a hated brand around where I live. All the Toyota guys use Mobile, and all the diesel guys use Rotella. Now that Canadian Tire carries the full Shell line for both gasoline and Diesel engines, I’ll also use it in my Tacoma.
I would like to see how the new Mobil one for trucks and suvs stacks up to the Shell
Great video idea!
@@ProjectFarm yeah i wanna know too!
I bet there are statically the same. Just changed name for marketing.
@@ProjectFarm make that video happen! and i saw castrol edge came out with a pick up and suv one too
I started using Mobil 1 when I bought my truck new. I'm not married to that brand, but I'll probably keep using it just to stay consistent. The other thing about Mobil 1 is you can get it just about everywhere. That said, I would not mind trying the Shell oil.
Thank you for the feedback.
Great test as always! Could you test manual transmission fluids. Amsoil, Redline, Royal Purple, Mobil 1, and Honda MTF.
Thank you for the video idea!
You forgot Motul 300v!
