How Bad Is OEM Motor Oil? Honda vs Toyota vs ACDelco?
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 03. 2024
- Motor Oils: Mopar, Motorcraft, ACDelco, Honda, Toyota, and Mobil 1. Motor oils compared for lubricity or film strength, evaporative loss, and cold oil flow before and after heat exposure.
I also participated in the Matt's Offroad Games in Sand Hollow, Utah in March 2024. I've included some video footage from the event, and I enjoyed meeting everyone that attended the event.

Most reviewers on youtube are sellouts, this guy is NOT. Support the review king!
Amen. He earned my time a long time ago. As an automotive engineer and a mechanic, I can 100% confirm that any other CZcamsr that reviews a product is paid off by the manufacturer who is sponsoring their video. Just facts, and they don't give a shit about your feelings.
Dudeman keeps it real on this channel with everything he does.
Thank you very much!
We need to clone this man, so we can have a PF for the kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom, etc. Having said that, I don't think I would have enough free time to be watching PF all day.
@@ProjectFarm Best channel on youtube for the truth. Problem is Project Farm shadowbaned me for some reason. My comments never get noticed.
I'm an appliance tech of 26 yrs. I have bought an electric screwdriver, shop-vac, heat gun and epoxy based on your videos. Thanks so much for all your work!
My pleasure!
Which heat gun you get?
@@mikeprice8307 just watch the video, lol. top 3 results on any video you can't really go wrong with.
@@mikeprice8307gotta watch the video to find out lol
Appliance tech 🥲😂
I quit MOBIL 1 a looong time ago! I upgraded to Kirkland's, Walmart's Super Tech, and all WARREN-manufactured products! YOU THE MAN, "FARM"!!!
Thanks!
The differences are so slight that you just can’t justify the tremendous cost difference.
Unless you intend to do extended oil interval changes .
Personally 5,000 is the limit.
Currently it’s $18.98 for 5 quart jug, Mobil 1 is at least $10 more and forget about Pennzoil Ultra.
For that difference you can get a really good oil filter as a bonus.
SuperTech (Warren) all the way .
I've been offline for the last month. It's great to come back here and see the oil races running at full speed.
Welcome back!
Could you also test, pressure washers? So many just lie about ratings. Thank you you for your time and effort
Thank you for the video idea! I tested electric pressure washers a while back but probably should test the larger gasoline powered ones.
@@ProjectFarmI bought the electric CAT one after that video. Still works great!
@@ProjectFarmcan you test Pro Long ? I remember them old crazy videos of cars running with no oil pan, the radiator hoses cut and they keep driving the car and it never blows
Would love to see automotive air filters. OEM, after market replaced, performance.
@@ProjectFarmtest degreasers-thanks

love the videos. i've used your testing to purchase many items that i could not have compared without your help! thanks for all you do!
Thanks! Glad to hear!
Great video, and refreshing not to see bias or unexplained product loyalty. You put a lot of effort into this content. Thank you from London UK
Thanks so much!
It was a pleasure meeting you at the Off Road Games. In fact, my wife and I are speaking to you, in this video. Your humility in dealing with the crowd shows you are a class act. Another great video. Thank you.
Thank you very much! I enjoyed meeting everyone at that games. So many really good people!!!
We run amsoil only both in the shop vehicles & the personal vehicles. Great video!! 👍🏼 🇨🇦
@@404notfound..... So Mobil1 base with an add pack from 1 of the 3 producers in the US.
I’ve never seen a public figure ask the fans for autographs like you did at the rock climb. Absolutely awesome!
Thank you very much!
The Story behind? 👍🏻
He is like the anti-celebrity, no wonder I trust him!
Not only that, he was giving away free tools! What a legend. 😂
Whaaaaa, wow, that's unheard of. Just take my respect Project Farm, take it!
So thankful for your time and effort to provide all of this information. Thorough, detailed and fact based. Thank you for keeping this channel going, you're the man.
Thanks!
Best channel! Love how in depth your videos are.
Thanks so much!
This is probably the most valuable channel on youtube
Thanks!
No not really actually. Toyota used over time CASTROL THEN MOBILE THEN SHELL HELIX AS TOYOTA OWN BRAND. So pretty funny. If you know this it change EVERYTHING. My 1999 toyota paseo runs the best on castrol magnatec 10w40. Anyway all major brands like ford honda and others uses oil they can buy in bulk for a good price. Could be mobile or castrol or shell or elf like on renault.
Same as spray paint. The lowest price will be bought in bulk. Doesnt matter what brand...... ppg standox akzo nobel etc etc
@KLOKSLAG1911 I'm glad you were able to spend millions in R&D and had the engineering knowledge to figure out that your engine runs better on 10W40 than the 5W30 it was designed to use.
The rest of us don't have nearly as much time or money on our hands. I'll continue watching this channel to compare oil brands, and I'll stick to using the weight of oil that the engine designers recommend for my engine
@@Drivin_Sideways hahahaha dont make a fool out of urself please omfg are you 4 real or just yappin stuff that comes into ur tiny little mouse brain. If you read the service manual book that comes with the car there is a table that says in what temperature the best oil to use and in my country it is 10w40. The user manual comes with 4 different types of oil. So please think before you add comments hahaha wow just wow you must be senile or a douche
Your test bank is like an indispensable set of real world encyclopedias. Thank you.
You are welcome!
someone needs to archive all his videos for real
This is probably the most useful channel on CZcams, thank you for your service
Thanks and you are welcome!
Was great to watch you on the Off Road Games! Good job! You guys did great!
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching!
I REALLY hope people understand how hard it is to make a video like this... I would assume 20 30 hours of editing and 10 15 hours of shoot work. So this is a FULL time job. And its really hard to do this Every single week so we can have an awesome video to watch!! THANK YOU PF!!!
You are welcome!
This. ❤
I pay so much less for the same oil at Walmart lol
It's very easy when Cousin Eddy makes all the videos! 😉😁
The farm is a full time job.
Project farm guy is just a good dude! No politics no hate just straight to the project and great testing. A very professional youtuber! Keep up the great content you provide!
Thanks, will do!
Absolutely. No hype, no click bait titles, no shill/sponsor segments that take 25% of the video, no obnoxious build up to inflate the video length. Every video is literally "what it says on the tin".
so glad you got to participate! ben watching your channel prior to Matts but have been watching both for many years lol was hoping you all would link up one day! t for all your work Sir!!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Awesome video, I keep coming back to see all kinds of content covering things I love.
Thanks so much!
Project Farm is like an old trusted friend. You know it is always there and can count on it for real, honest, helpful information.
One of the top channel's of CZcams.
Thanks so much!
I remember when I came across some video and he only had like 50K subs. Darn, well deserved for all the subs for the honesty. It's actually rare today
@@hariranormal5584 He's sponsored.
You ought to be one of the best and most integral CZcamsrs, no paid promotion of any of the tested products, all bought and to top all of that you give away the products you bought.
It is honestly refreshing to see, in this platform. Thank you so Much.
Thank you very much!
Right! Give this guy an award! Best reviews and tests hands down. And he buys and gives the stuff away! What a generous/selfless person!
I seen you at the games in Matt's video, you did a great job. Congrats
Thanks!
I was so excited watching you at the off road games!!!! Great job!!!
Thanks!
Man I remember when you has less than a hundred thousand subs. When i saw you have made to over 3 million. I said to myself nobody deserves it more. I have enjoyed all your videos. I look forward to many more.
Thanks so much!
This may be the most valuable research channel on CZcams. I love your work.
Would be interesting to see BMW vs Shell, Mercedes vs Mobil 1, VW vs Castrol. Testing OEM oils made by those companies vs what you buy from the dealer which is made by the same manufacturer. Basically testing OEM vs Off the shelf equivalent
There is no may be. It is!
Absolutely!
Thanks for all the valuable information that you provide. You do a great job. I appreciate you.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I appreciate how positive you always are, glad you had fun in the jeep always watch your videos, even though I don't need to use tools all to often but I do drive a truck so things around that help thanks!
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
Please test caulking and silicone. Flexibility, adhesion and mold resistance
Thank you for the video idea!
Does silicone work as motor oil? Let's find out!
Agreed would be a great test topic
Messiness, and how easily the surface smooths after being disturbed (when wet). And when dry...strength. I'd suggest sun damage too, but I don't want to wait a year for results.
@@Sonny_McMacsson Wrong channel, its a test for Garage 54 😀
Glad you had a great time in Utah sir! Thank you so much for being transparent product reviewer sir!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Hi there. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for providing such great, in depth, unbiased reviews.
Thanks!
This channel is gem. I love your ways to test and explain your contents. Great job!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I really appreciate that you do a cold flow test at temps down to -40. I'm in Alaska and we've spent a lot of time south of -40 this season. Over the years, your tests have allowed me to chose fluids (and all sorts of products) based on my needs and the season with confidence. Thank you for the invaluable information you provide to us all!
I was going to suggest that he uses a more realistic temperature.. like 10 degrees F.. most of us rarely ever see anything below 10…
Midwest can see temps in the negative teens during harsh winters, and zero degrees is not uncommon. I can imagine the temps in states that border Canada are even worse (obviously Alaska being the most extreme). I bet New York sees negative teens sometimes as well. So, basically anyone that doesn't live in the southern states rely on cold flow tests like this. A mere ten degrees is not adequately cold enough.
Definitely agree, Living where I'm at In canada It's not uncommon to see it hit close to -50C at some point in the year. And most reviews for products beings done with california-esque environments does absolutely nothing for me.
@@InvertOtaku-os9lj watching -40 oil flow is like watching paint dry.. its rather pointless.
@@keithbellair9508These are realistic temperatures. It is important to know the full spectrum of information
My favorite test returns! Love these oil tests.
Thank you! Any other oil review ideas?
@@ProjectFarmfull synthetic high mileage oil vs full synthetic oil!
@@Mike-Capz83 He made a test on that already. Good video.
@@ProjectFarm my vehicle is due for an oil service and this definitely help me make the decision between Motorcraft and mobile one. Thank you sir the extra couple dollars for the motor and my opinion are a no-brainer.
@@ProjectFarm Yeah! Just bought my first motorcycle. I would love to see some tests on motorcycle specific oils meant for both the engines and clutch.
I like that I can always come to this channel and trust the test that are given. Helps me make choices I think about for my vehicle daily.
Thank you!
Ah yes! The hidden special within an episode! Always worth the whole watch. Thanks for the reviews, thanks for sharing your time at the event and keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Your the only person I watch repetitively and actually learn something about every time. Best CZcamsr that exists. Not many people understand how to do actual scientific testing and it's awesome that you do. I am always disappointed in any others testing procedures I ever watch and leaves me disappointed in their results and unable to trust them. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks, will do!
yup as a street and drag racer. i like seeing these comparisons of oils and fluids. love to see some testing of trans fluids for high powered trans vs hyguard fluids and similar
As a car enthusiast and an apprentice in the automotive industry this channel has been super informative and entertaining. I’m grateful for this channel as a resource. Thank you so much 🤙🏽
You are welcome!
Awesome, thank you for all the hard work.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Absolutely love your content. Keep up the great work you.
Thanks, will do!
Came for the oil, stayed for the extras! I didn't think I could love this channel any more but you proved me wrong! Seeing both some of the behind the scenes and give aways + the fun events really just has a wholesome feeling. I'd love to see more of the extras plus the incredible testing. Great stuff!!!!
Thanks!
@@ProjectFarmcan you please test LED Headlamps
I love the unbiased reviews you do make online shopping so much easier.
Thanks!
Just another thanks for all your videos!
Thanks so much!
Appreciate the content and time it took to make this
Thanks!
I'm a long time viewer of both PF and MORR and it was absolutely a blast to see the videos of you tackling the obstacles at the Offroad Games. You did great!
Thanks!
In Utah ?
i love how you talked so much about the event you attended at the end. not typical for your video style, but it was actually really nice to hear how much you enjoyed it all, and i wouldnt be upset with more like that
Thanks for the feedback!
@@ProjectFarm Agree with above post! Would love to see separate video of Utah/games from your perspective!
Thank you for doing these reviews, they are fantastic and I know they're not easy to do!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Great review as always! I've always wondered the difference in OEM motor oils. Now I know! Thank you for the time it takes to make these reviews, and the occasional ligh-hearted humor is a bonus! Thank you!
Thanks and you are welcome!
The oil testing has always been my favorite. Everything you do is great. Thank you for giving us the ability to make informed decisions about our purchases in a world full of junk products. It is very helpful.
Thank you!
Todd, You Did great at the Offroad Games. Should have taking the Farmabego and Cousin Eddie. God Bless
Thank you!! I had a lot of fun at the games and enjoyed meeting everyone!
Great job. Now you need to build a rock crawler for next year!
Thanks! I rely on your videos for some of my tool, oil, and other purchase decisions.
You are welcome! Thanks for supporting the channel! I really appreciate it!
I appreciate everything you do for us!
Thanks!
I can just hear it now; "They tell me that this Jeep is a very capable rock-climbing machine - WE'RE GONNA TEST THAT!!" 😄
Love the channel! Very cool that you got to participate in the offroad games and meet many of your *fellow* YT celebs!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Among the hundreds of channels I subscribe to, this is one of 4 that I DO NOT SKIP!
No BS. Always on point! Thanks Todd!
Why subscribe to hundreds of channels when you skip most?
What' the other 3?
Thanks for all your hard work! Awesome information
Thanks and you are welcome!
I just recently discovered your channel and I love how you changed to SI units during the years and that you still keep the no-channel-intro, no-begging, and full-fairness, and full-transparency style you started with.
Thanks!
Your oil tests are my favorite!
PLEEEEASE test Shell Rotella T6 diesel engine oil against Amsoil diesel and other diesel engine oils.
Thanks!
Great suggestion! Thank you
Love this idea! Premium HDEOs like T6 vs Amsoil vs Hots Shots comparison! Diesel fuel lubricant additives, especially for those of us with CP4 versions, would love that, too! Thanks, Todd, for all your hard work!
I’d love to see how rotella 5w40 does! Thought about switching all my vehicles to it!
Would be interesting to see power driven diesels oil in here as well
I'd be kind of interested in that as well. I run Rotella T6 in my motorcycles (it's got all the proper ratings to do so) so it'd be good to see how it does.
The amount of effort and hard work that goes into these tests is unparalleled. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Agree.
Awesome content PF! Nice to see you rock crawling!
Thanks!
Excellent video as always! Really enjoyed watching the off roading too! I recently got back from a trip and have considered upgrading my luggage and don't know where to start. I would love to see a luggage review particularly comparing Swissgear to anything else. Always appreciate the detail and thoroughness! Thanks!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
YOU SIR ARE THE BEST REVIEWER !!! Thank you for coming to the Matt's Games...
Thanks! Glad I got to go!
Absolutely 💯 -NW Ohio
Thank you for this and glad to see you with MORR
Thanks and you are welcome!
man ,i enjoy all your videos ,you're the best!!
Thanks!
Thx so much for the additional content. You’re a legend.
Thanks! Thanks for supporting the channel! I really appreciate it!
@@ProjectFarmCan you test different 0w40 Many exotic engines use this weight oil Porsche, Nissan GT-R, Mercedes AMG ( very popular and contested subject ) Do Redline Liqui Moly Mobil Castrol Amsoil Motul and compare the top two with 5w30 Amsoil and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 vs top 2 0w40
Love the fact you included content from your trip to the off-road games! It was great to see you outside the shop!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks so much for all your work!
You are welcome!
Not all videos do I watch to the end, but I give a like to each one. The efforts you put into testing things are simply incredible!
Thank you very much!
Motorcraft is some darn nice oil, and was cool to see it do so well here.
Thanks for sharing!
I started using because I noticed less noise from my engine when tried it. I’ve tried a lot of different oils. Also ford performance recommending doesn’t hurt. I still think the best was rosella gas and truck. Of course they discontinued it.
Ford/Motocraft has a special oil that they only use for their performance vehicles (Ford GT, GT350, GT500, Raptor, Boss 302, Focus RS). It's all 5W-50 Motocraft. It's hard to find that in other brands, so most of those owners just use Motocraft. It seems to work well...
@@ittimjonesyeah my gt500 calls for it as well. Not really another option, but I have trusted ford vehicles since I was 17 so it has been working out so far. Blue oval wins oil!
Not many places carry it. Even the ford quick change place didn't even have it. Ford performance dealers carry it though.
The fact your competed with off road crawling makes me love your channel even more (if that's possible). Thank you for all the hard work you do with all your testing. You are making a difference!
That was very well done looks like you had fun
Thanks! I did have fun!
Absolutely LOVE your videos! Completely honest and unbiased reviews.
If I could make one suggestion, I think some conditional formatting on the tables would help the viewers grasp the information being displayed a lot! Like for the amount of detergents in each oil, color coding a deeper blue or green for greater values would really make the data pop and you could easily see what product has more of what. Otherwise, I wouldn’t change a thing about what you’re doing! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the constructive feedback. Thanks for supporting the channel! I really appreciate it!
The inclusion of footage from Matt's Off-Road put this vid over the top. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.
Thanks and you are welcome!
he was the only decent human being there, rest of them are rich idiots that only care about making money.
Awesome info and non-biased…congrats!!!! I’m hooked😂
Thanks and you are welcome!
I really appreciate the work you put into your videos!
As far as video ideas, it would be neat to see a chrome polisher competition including home made remedies vs. Steel wool vs. purpose made polishers.
Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.
Liked the video on the oil, but was happy to see your Utah content. I am glad you got to be there and had fun. Thanks for all that you do for us.
I've been watching your videos for a few years now, and I love every single one!!! I really like how honest the reviews are. You seem like a very genuine person, keep doing what you're doing. I will continue to watch every video you post!!!
i was surprised how much weight was lost after heating up the oil. well done with your crazy vehicle. always great info in your vids.
Yes me too - what happens in an engine? Are there little bubbles of steam that circulate since it can't escape? Is it better then to pre-cook the oil before putting it in an engine?
i don't think i would be pre cooking it...😂😂😂@@vink6163
Thanks!
Glad Project Farm enjoyed participating in Matt's Off Road Games. As a jeep owner I am pleasantly surprised the Mopar oil did as well as it did. I'll have to go through your library of videos to see if you already did similar test on Valvoline oil. If one of your viewers already know this was done, please reply with the link. Thanks for sharing.
Was really nice meeting you at the games! Keep doing what you do!
Thanks, will do! Nice meeting you as well!
Literally speechless at the rock crawl footage. Not only the freaking insane things y’all and that jeep did but also giving back to the community like that. God shines through you.
Doing what he does best! Keeping companies product claims honest while having fun. Stay you and keep it real 💯
Thanks, will do!
One of the most respectful CZcamsrs on the app well done!
Thanks!
Thanks for such a great test for 0W20 oils. I was looking for this one. As always it’s satisfying watching your videos.
The absolute best impartial tester on the internet! You have helped so many people avoid junk products and have raised the bar for manufacturers! Honestly, thank you so much!
Thank you for your participation in the Off Road Games, I really enjoy your reviews.
Thanks so much!
Not even that long ago I was wondering the same thing, since you've basically done all the big brands and I literally forgot about OEM. Great vídeo
Thanks!
PF is the only channel I support via Patreon. Well deserved, and the least I can do. Thanks PF
Thank you very much!
I would love to see a test of various 15W-40 motor oils designed for diesel engines such as Rotella, Chevron, and Mobil Delvac as well as some store brands suchbas Love's and Flying J.
Once again, thanks for the great video and can't wait till next Sunday for your next one.
And maybe some European brands? Like total and ravenol? Or are they realy hard to buy in the status?
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
@@franklinvanproosdij From what I can tell the European motor oils aren't as easy to get a hold of here in the states unless you find an auto parts store that specializes in European vehicles. But that's what Amazon is for right? :)
Maybe Liqui Moly also?
I would add Ford Motorcraft 15w40 Super Duty oil to this list as well - I've heard claims of higher ZDDP levels in this oil compared to Rotella/Delo/Valvoline diesel oils, but the oil analysis samples I sent out showed pretty similar results - not sure if it was just the batch of oil I got.
Thanks for all your reviews. Really helpful information. I was out the other day to buy a four foot level and was amazed at how all over the place prices were. I can’t believe there is that much difference to justify the cost difference. May be something you might consider to review. Thanks again.
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Love your videos. I’ve changed up quite a few products that I use due to your channel! You should consider doing a video comparing in-line fuel filters.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Awesome. Thanks for including the video about the games. It was fun to watch. I hope you do go next year and share with us again.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
It was so cool that you were at the Off Road Games! I was pumped when Matt announced you were going on his channel.
Thanks! It was a lot of fun!
Excellent work and information. Thank you 🙏
Thanks and you are welcome!
Great oil comparison. It was great seeing you on Matts videos. I was happy to see you there having fun.
Thanks!
Your honesty, humour, and genuine nature makes you a pleasure to watch. That “chute” looked crazy.
👍Thumbs up to you
Thanks!
You are probably the most humble CZcamsr ever. That’s so cool that you give the items away.
Thanks!
I heard you mentioned in a different video you were testing OBD2 scanners I can't wait for that video to come out.
Thanks!
Always a fan of the oil videos! Great work Project Farm
Thank you!
Suggested video: Best rechargeable WALKIE TALKIE RADIOS, battery capacity, water resistance, durability test, which one can send / receive better radio signal from obscure / covered spots
Thanks for the video idea.
That would be awesome
This is by far the best Chanel on CZcams and it’s not even close
Thanks so much!
