- The oil competition series intensifies as Amazon Basics competes against Liqui Moly. Is the low-priced AmazonBasics full synthetic 5W-30 motor as good or better than Liqui Moly's Top Tex 4200 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil? I am not sponsored by Liqui Moly or Amazon Basics. I purchased both of these products using my own money. I am not sponsored by Amazon, Liqui Moly, or by any product manufacturer. 100% of Project Farm videos are ideas that come from those leaving comments. So, thank you very much for requesting this video!

I have loved watching all your tests. Seems like a strange thing to say now that I have typed it haha. I recently had a new engine built for my race car with forged internals. The machine shop who built my engine requires me to use Motul engine oil. I have always used amsoil. I was really hoping you could do a test with all the oils generally used for racing. Amsoil Signature, Liqui Molly, Motul, Royal Purple and then maybe verus Amazon basics full synthetic.
Performance plus by safety clean? The feedlot I drive for only uses it in our truck and I’m not sure why and no reviews online I can find.
The 4200 is rated for Dexos2 (dexos blue) and other Low Sap standards which prioritize Catalytic Health over all other metrics.
It's a really strict standard that the AmznBasic Dexos1 doesn't meet.
@projectFarm
I applaud your work.. This is like comparing a honeycrisp apple to a royal gala apple.
Would love to see Liqui Moly's Molygen in this test and see what shakes the scorboard.
The flow test would be alot more accurate if he had a trail of bearings for the oil to flow its way around down the slide.
A good idea for another oil test would be to use the lubricity tester on the oil again after it has been cooked to see if it still provides enough protection after being exposed to high temperatures
Great recommendation! I'll do that in the next round of the playoffs.
I'm curious about running oil in an engine for 2 hours, then running it through the lubricity tester. I wonder what other factors the moving engine has on the oil than just "cooking" it?
This is an excellent idea, I am very curious to see how much less cooked oil film can handle. This is my main concern with oils, durability.
@@ProjectFarm If or when you do that, you can use the same bearing as that would eliminate any variance between two different bearings.
@@HankeyMountainGarage Good idea
Can't wait to tell my grandkids all about the great oil wars of 2019?
lol. Thank you!
Typical of the germans to lose another...
When is the public going to realize we already got renewable motor oil, anyhow? Green Earth Technologies: Beef Tallow Based Motor Oil. Renewable Lubricants Incorportaed: Veggie Oil Based Motor Oil, ATF, Grease, Penetrating Oils.
These online oil wars have been raging for almost 20 years on BITOG (bob is the oil guy).
The oil war starts NNNNOOOWWWWW!!!!!
Me : better sleep
Mind : nah Gonna watch drag races at 2:30AM
lol. Thank you! Hope you sleep well after the races!
Lol thats me at 2:28AM 🤣
Is everyone watching this at 2:30?
What about at 4:30 am?
Muslim spotted he's gonna detonate himself
I really enjoy watching your videos. But the testing methods in this one left me with some questions. How can you compare Oils without testing their lubrication at an actual engine temperatures? Maintaining lubrication at hight temp for an extended period of time is the MOST critical property of any engine oil. It's what makes an engine oil an engine oil.
Cold start viscosity is all fine and dandy, but according to the tests in your video, you might as well use sunflower seed oil.
I agree with you. Some of the testing is irrelevant because the oil's not at temperature. The cold flow test is the only test that's relevant
So if we mix bacon grease and Amazon Basics we'd have the perfect oil. Lol
Would smell GREAT... LOL
Now's your chance!
Was thinking the same thing. I know my cast iron pans act like Teflon.
@@TheLittlered1961 John, you and Jack ought to go in together and start a company and then get the Commander to run a test on it and yall would be world famous! That DID sound good.
Person driving behind you would be drooling like hell...
I love the way you announce your oil races. Sounds like a horse race!
Thank you very much!
I'm imagining the music on trumpets now.
I discovered Liqui-Moly when being stationed in Germany, I tried it in my Volvo 850R out of curiosity and my god it runs smoother than the Castrol I used to use. Better fuel mileage too.
Thanks for sharing!
I am currently stationed in Germany. I use LQMoly in my 2018 BMW m4 and she runs like a champ.
I actually just serviced my car with liquimoly for the first time, wasn't this top tec one it was the same but a more expensive new version, either way the engine runs smooth as hell and I've gotten way more mpg than I was used to, so there must be more to it than these tests
@@ggcpf2874 Numbers anyone?
Never mind, numbers don't matter when such a figure is so variable based on driving habits. Smoother is too subject to human psychology.
Same! My 2011 vw Jetta tdi runs so smooth on Liqui-Moly.
Great job, Todd! I would like to see these videos labeled Oil Playoffs Round 1, Round 2, etc. That will make it easier to watch the tests in order from beginning to end. I don’t think many of your viewers would just skip to the end because your videos are much more entertaining and informative than anything on TV! I appreciate all of your hard work and concerted efforts to keep all of the comparisons on a level playing field. Bravo!
Great suggestion! Thank you.
need to have a HOT FLOW CONTEST as well as a cold flow. the better oil would be the slowest in the hot oil test.
Great recommendation!
Better get a good high speed camera for that one.
I still want to see a lubricity test after the oil has been heated. I would like to see if the oil breaks down
That won't necessarily be true. Different oils have different breakdown and break in points. There is wide range of disparity between new viscosity and after 800 miles of use. Shoutout to blackstone labs.
There used to be a great forum that posted great analysis, unfortunately they were bought out by an oil company (go figure)
Essentially he could run both oils in the same engine for several durations of 1-2 hours, then test the difference.
Yes!
Left in the middle of another channel's video to watch this.
It's Project Farm time y'all!
802 Garage I did the same thing.
Thank you very much! Hope you enjoy the video!
I was in the middle of a video on facebook.
802 Garage Me three
Me too!
I would love to see the bearing test with the cooked oil too. That would be a great addition to your testing.
This will be the real test as the oil is new just for a moment when it is inside of a running engine.
I love your videos man !
What ever I think of ,you already have a vlog on it.I love these comparison vlogs. Also you save us the trouble of going into experimenting ourselves.
Keep making these vlogs and we will keep watching.
Love from India.
Awesome! Thank you!
Your oil pouring skills are impressive. I make a mess every time I crack the top on a bottle of oil.
lol. Thank you
I've really been waiting for him to spill some but he never does!
Some did drip down the test tube!
@@nate2529 ya I guess he did spill a little liquid moly around the 0:50 second mark and then again around the 7:50 mark. I totally didn't notice the first time, if it was me pouring that stuff the test tube would be a mess!
Every time I change oil, I get some on the manifold, even with a funnel. At least it won’t rust out...
My friends: So are you into sports?
Me: Oh yeah, I really hope amazon basics does well this season, I always root for the underdog.
lol. Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm man! The commentary on that race was unbelievable! 😂😂🤣
hahahahaha im dying
I almost cried when cooked amazon basics stepped ahead of new liquimoli.
lol amazon, an underdog... i get it but i thought it was funny.
A lot of us are still waiting for The Super Tech vs Amazon Basics test! I know it’s coming eventually, I’m just very much looking forward to it. Thank you for doing these!
Thank you very much!
There are others that have already done that test and super tech full synthetic and amazonbasics full synthetic are about the same
The fact that the person that reached out to PF didn't come out and say they were different "which wouldn't give any secrets away" kinda tells us that they are the same just different package. Happens a lot with all the stuff we buy.
Project farm I know you have been busy with new videos, but I know many of us car people would be further interested in more gear oil tests, such as an ATF or Power steering fluid. These comparisons with cost effective alternatives are great too. Love the content! -new sub
Thanks for watching and subscribing! Thanks for the video idea.
Amazon basics vs supertech, the budget oil showdown
Great test request! Thank you
I think I have asked for this as well. Would be willing to do it myself if I had a lubricity tester.
both oils are made by Warren, but only they could say if the additives are different. so yeah, good test!
@Richard Skipper should....
Royal Kings oil is also made by Warren lubrication and it'd be nice to see all three of them neck-and-neck
Test idea: Ratchet straps, had a new one fail on me way under its WL limit
Good idea mate
Great test recommendation! Thank you
Yup, good idea
GREAT idea!!
Good idea
I'm loving this channel.your saving people a lot of money and making more informed customers.thank you and keep up the good work.
Thank you!
your channel is one of my top 5 channels out of hundreds.. thanks for all you do!
Thank you
Be careful which coffee pot you make coffee in :)
lets see a film strength test with the cooked oil for comparison off new and used oil.
Great recommendation! Thank you
Also use the same quantity of oil in each cup.
Haha, i just recommended the same thing, you beat me to it.
And a line-up/leaderboard of the rest of the bearings for comparison, to see where the current oil being tested falls... would be nice.
absoFRIGGENlutely
Glad this was on my recommended vids, just subscribed and waiting for the upcoming competitions.
Thank you!
The only issue with this methodology is it really just focuses on viscosity and the differences you show could all be still well within spec.The additive packages have a significant impact on real-world performance and should be taken into account in these shoot outs (I've seen you do the VOA and UOA on other videos). That said, overall I really enjoy your videos/tests and methodologies! Great stuff!
Thanks so much!
The bearing test is definitive, I've seen massive sludging with liquimoly. I recomend mobile1 full synthetic for my customers, costs less, performs better. I offer Shaeffers products as a upgrade
after cooking the oil put it back on the lubricity tester,
I did just that
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO when it still hot ?
Hoping to see Pennzoil platinum ultra in one of these videos. Great job, these videos are addictive!
Great recommendation! Thank you
@@ProjectFarm Pennzoil Platinum & Ultra Platinum please! 😁
I agree. The only 0w-40 oils which meet FCA 'standards' which also works in my 6.4 Hemi is Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Mopar (relabeled Ultra) Synthetic, and Amsoil. Stupid warranties and certifications.
I should add Ravenol SSL to this as well.
Pennzoil Platinum would be a good addition to this test. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is harder to come by
I love how you test everything and take the most critical things in account. Keep it up. I have been subbed for 6 months now. 😁
Thank you!
Such great videos... you asked for suggestions... let me add to those who have raised the idea of testing BMW LL-01 spec oils (for the many of us with BMW and/or MINI engines requiring LL-01 ACEA A3/B4 in 5W-30 or similar grade oils). Keep up the great work!
Great suggestion! Thank you. Thanks, will do.
i've been waiting for this one... i'm actually surprised at the Amazons oil quality.
Yes, Warren Distribution did a great job with their oil!
Put Amazon Oil in the car and expose to unburned gasoline, moisture and other byproducts, send it to the Lab and see how well it protects engine. Then claim it's quality Oil, based on real engine operation and real lab results.
I know I'm tempted to switch but I've used Castrol gtx for years and my engine seems to like it but the price for the Amazon is unbeatable then again I can usually get a 5qt jug of Castrol at my local Kmart for 14 bucks
Same here, if it weren't for the fact I can get cheap synthetic from a bulk buy I'd definitely buy it
Amazon doesn't produce oil. They either buy the blend or make the blend. There are only 3 oil supplement manufacturers in the world. All engine oil producers buy additives from these 3 companies :)
Wife:
Honey, how come the coffee tastes weird?
Me:
lol. Thank you
Love all your videos. My favorites are the tools/tape/glue tests where you test harbor freight and many other videos. Great videos. I appreciate you
Thanks for watching!
Hey you should try something different(drain blockages liquids) I love watching your videos because it lets consumers know what to buy....
I even allowed my lunch to get cold so I could watch this as soon as it was available.
Thank you very much! Hope the lunch still tastes good!
Project Farms uploads take Priority over all my YT Subscriptions. If only Politicians kept things this honest
Premium overpriced brands hate you on a whole different level. Stay safe.
I believe you are right! Thank you
Except for Amsoil. That shit is the best
I would never buy Liqui Moly even if this test never existed. Overpriced junk. Look how much it changed after the heat cycle. Garbage.
Amazon is good quality oil. It’s low because it hopes to take a chunk of the oil market , long term strategy monopolization
@@JSPHTRS yeah Amazon is already there. The only downside is that u can't get stuff immediately, but 2day shipping is amazing
Great stuff... Can't wait to see who matches up next and definitely looking forward to the Final Four Top Oils...
Thank you!
I'd be interested in a lubricity tester compilation, and I'm sure some of your other subscribers would enjoy it as well. Thanks for the content!
I'm here for the "breathing" griddle. 😉. Awesome video! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Imagine having your new oil beat by used oil. Not looking good for these premium brands.
Thank you!
I used Liqui Moly in all my cars and never had oil consumption or damaged engines, I was always satisfied
Thank you!
I think this test shows that quality doesn't have to be expensive?
maybe you should switch to amzonbasics and save some money
Same
@@yilmaztosun4858 this test shows exactly nothing
Great video as are all of your productions. I find them entertaining as well as informative. I do not buy any product that you have run tests on until I review your conclusions. Perhaps a video on DEF Fluid? Another great video would be to find out which of the battery powered power tools has the best battery charge hold and battery overall battery life:)
I just want to say I love what you're doing and how you're doing it, hard to find unbiased and informed experiments like yours. Keep it up!
Thank you very much!
The way u talking while the oil were racing had me feeling like I was betting at the horse track🤣
lol. Thank you!
The Kentucky Derby is just around the corner. He should audition for the track announcer.
Great video and thanks again for all the effort and time you spend producing your videos!!!
These oil tests videos remind me of a wrestling match!!! Looking forward to the playoffs!!!

Thanks you!
Love the authentic content, keep them going!
Thanks for watching!
I would love to see a tire comparison video. Thank you for another great video. I always enjoy watching.
Great video idea! Thank you
I would too. I actually work in a tire warehouse
@@ProjectFarm I think you have enough video ideas to be the last channel alive on youtube by 2050 !
That sounds expensive
MPG vs traction would be a great data point. I got a little surprise when I saw my MPG drop 5% when I put Continentals on my f150. But the traction is worth it IMHO, especially with the lighter aluminum body.
I absolutely love the oil comparisons - thanks again for doing them!
Thank you!
100% AGREE!
Have to appreciate the efforts that has been put in making this video.
Thanks so much!
You have already done an incredible amount of work for these tests.
Next step.... would be a wear test after cooking the oil.
I think that would be more relevant than doing the test with brand new oils.
Nevertheless, thank you very much for the hard work!
Am I the only one who stops what they're doing to watch the new Project Farm video?
I doubt it now that I think about it :)
Thank you very much!
i was in the middle of watching another video when yours popped up! thank you for the great videos!
Thank you!!
Love this series! You got a new sub sir.
Thank you!
So happy you're doing this for us. So cool to see. Also, I may actually start to consider Amazon Basics engine oil.
Thank you
Let's get some Pennzoil Platinum and Ultra Platinum in the mix.
Thank you for the video idea!
Would be very interesting as this has been my engine oil of choice. Great suggestion.
Im interested in this as well as i have always thought pennzoil to be crap but honestly id like to see may make me not think so
@@finharms9439 What rock have you been living under? Times have changed. Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 is truly top 5 or top 10 oil of the world. Shell is the parent company - same as Quaker State. Both are superior to Mobil 1 in terms of real world burn off in the summer and have less change in viscosity. Plus both provide more power and less noise at first fill and after 3500 miles. Used all in my 1991 160,000mi CRX, 2003 187,000mi Xterra, and 2003 91,000mi G35 (Mobil 1 junk never touched that car). My 1999 162,000 Camry 4cyl has QS full synthetic - I used to drive 6 hours 3 days a week. 100% confident Pennzoil and QS best A LOT of oils on the world market. I am loving Amazon/SuperTech/WARREN right now. What a great US company!! Amsoil and Motul are excellent oil beasts too.
Violeta Arreola the reason i think as pennzoil as crap is because they are affiliated with quaker state, if you remember back in the day it used to sludge up fairly quickly, i have always been a firm believer in Castrol GTX and Lucas, however if you are correct which im not saying you are or aren’t but this is why id like to see the tests in an unbiased environment, like i said it may change my mind
I love how precise you are in measuring and doing everything you can to minimize potential unseen variables. Great testing.
Thank you!
Let's be honest. None of these tests say anything about how they will work in an engine.
yeah these tests are for entertainment only- they mean next to nothing
That's what I was thinking, they should do a 3k miles after test or so
I can’t believe German engineered oil was beaten by some cheap oil made by some capitalists
@@EngiesParadise I know its a joke but Germany is capitalistic as well just saying
Yeah doesn't say anything about the effects of the oil on modern diesel engine exhaust systems. Liqui molly only one of the few oils to be rated 507, and allowed by VW for use on TDI motors. Doesn't ruin the DPF and exhaust system
That was one exciting race!
Great video keep it up.
Thank you!
Please test Castrol Edge 5w-30 oil as it is suggested oil for VAG cars (Audi, VW, Seat, Škoda and so on).
P.S. Your channel is the best on youtube. It really gives the best content for an engineer minded people :)
Great recommendation and thanks for the positive comment!
Could you test Shell Rotella T6? Alot of people apparently always run that in there cars even tho its a diesel oil. Very curious.
Great recommendation!
This is a common oil for motorcyclists as well, I've put it in my project bikes and many swear by it. Apparently it has the right certifications to be used with a wet clutch.
Yes T6 showdown please!
Yes, this was an extremely popular choice among Subaru enthusiasts, but be aware they recently changed the formula and it is not the same anymore, now I run Total Quartz 9000 based on recommendation from engine builder.
+1 for t6 test. I use it in my 95 sierra 5.7
Project farm I watch your oil videos everyday that’s how interesting it is, I am a mechanic and a lot of others stay away from the MOLYGEN green oil, I put this oil on my Audi A3 and it works perfectly fine just don’t no how the flow is or how it’s protecting the engine so I need you please 😀
Thanks for doing this test! I’ve been using liqui moly ( the blue bottle ) off & on for a couple years.
Thank you!
You need to test the oils from Castrol
Greetings from Germany :)
Great recommendation and greetings!
Or Rowe Oil from Germany!
Or Addinol oil from Germany 😉
Hello..!! great video on this test.. But i hope like mentioned adding Castrol titaniun aswell..!!! Great work..!!!
Sadly Liqui Moly did so bad. I like that Brand an i dont even really know why. My Car is currently driving with the 4600 Oil
F1 now uses Amazon basics
Great information. I didn't know this.
SiGHT SMaSH - either that’s a joke or it’s really because amazon sponsored their oil needs. Doesn’t mean it’s any better then any other brand with the same freakin API certification. Lol.
Never look at the sponsored logos as an indicator that they are using THE BEST. They are using what’s cheapest / FREE.
Those engines get rebuilt after every race anyway, so who gives a hoot what oil they use for ONE RACE duration. Lol
@@I_know_what_im_talking_about Well, the other thing is that it's just an entirely different application. Under high performance racing conditions, you need something that's going to hold up to the heat, and not shear, froth, or separate. So in those cases, you want to have a fairly basic additive package, and not have to worry about VII breakdown.
So even if it WAS what F1 used, that doesn't necessarily make it the best for YOU to use.
@@ProjectFarm it's a joke. Each F1 team uses propietary oils.
@@ForkInTheButt their "oil" is hardly "oil" . Unicorn rainbow piss that we can't get our hands on.
thx for the testing and I love the extent you go too and the Amazon basic does look somewhat more clear in cooked state.
Thank you!
amazing ways of testing...😁😎...enjoyed every bit of it
Thank you!
Car oil vs motorcycle specific oil!!!! These videos got me thinking "should I just use amazon basics 20w-50 in my bike?"
These videos got me thinking if there really is any difference between say V-Twin 20w-50 and amazon basic car 20W-50. Can you please test this?!?! everyone thumbs this up.
Thank you for the video idea!
No, DO NOT use car oil in your motorcycle, it will cause your clutch to slip
@@Technie87 I understand that. But I also have my reservations that it actually will. I honestly think you wouldn't even notice. Obviously, it's not worth the risk but it is worth testing.
@@abarrick09 Well the difference is there because its a real thing. There is a motorcycle specific oil because there are cases of clutches slipping because of the use of conventional oil in a wet clutch style system. Do a quick search of "should I use car oil in a motorcycle" and you'll find out. Now , if you want to test the lubricity ability of that of a motorcycle oil compared to a car brand then thats a different question
You have got to do amazonbasics vs Walmart oil it must be done
Great video idea! Thank you
@@ProjectFarmPlease :D They look very similar
Yes, Wal-Mart Supertech Synthetic.
Long time follower, first comment (i think) Thanks so much for your informative, educational and entertaining videos. Like another follower said it before: The Oil Wars, loving every second of it.
My OCD is making me suggest to you whenever you talk about oil grades, the W means winter, not weight, please. Sorry, I had to say it.
Thank you. You are right, "w" stands for winter, not weight.
@@ProjectFarm I can't thank you enough for taking the time to read and to reply to all of our comments and suggestions. I bet farm work and making videos take like 25hrs out of your day, thanks.
As a bmw car owner for 10+ yrs, engine oil is one of those highly contested topics.
lol. Yes, between the farm and making videos, it's crazy busy but I love being busy. Thanks again!

Hey I totally love your videos! Super entertaining, and love how thorough you are, I know you have a lot of recommendations, but I drive an old diesel truck and have a lot of people telling me to use different brands, would you be able to test some different oils for diesels? I’ve always used Rotella oil and would love to see how it actually performs in your tests. Thanks!
Great test idea! Thank you
You should do the bearings wear test with the cooked oil as well.
Great videos, thanks for sharing!👍
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
I love how you're doing a championship of the oils :D
My bets are on amazon basic!
Thank you very much!
Could you do a video testing fuel efficiency differences as well as general wear on an engine when using the wrong gap spark plug
Thank you for the video idea!
Love your tests man!
Thank you
I never thought I’d be watching a cold engine oil race but I’m glad I did! Great video as always
Thanks!
Liqui Moly i haven't heard that name in years, but i don't remember much of my 20's.
Thank you
Are you Cheech and Chong lost brother?😄
I’m from Germany, Liqui moly Is the last oil i‘ll put in my Engines.
Already saw some worn Engines powered by LM...
I Hope you will also Test:
CASTROL
MOTUL
AND (my absolut favourite)
MOTUL 300V COMPETITION 15W-50 ESTER CORE Racing oil.
That would be absolut Great. 😃
Love These Tests. 👍
Thank you for this information! I'll test MOTUL and Castrol for sure.
cant agree more, We also put our trust in liqui moly and 4 of our premium fleet cars got severely damaged due to excessive deposits on cylinder liners, piston rings and almost all squirters were blocked. I think the deposit shield and the high zinc requirement is not met at all by LM. Even the oil pump lift mesh was 90% choked
Hast du es versucht mit Fosser oder Ravenol?

I am one of your newest fans. I just found out about your channel about 4-5 days ago. I have a hour round trip to work and back and i play your videos the whole time. What you do is awesome and i am so glad i found out about you....... i was wondering if you have ever done castrol videos. I doubt its better than any other oil but my dad had a 97 f-150 and it was a gasoline motor. All he used was castrol 10w-30. He put 400,000 miles on it and all he replaced was the alternator and the radiator. He ended up giving it away. But after seeing the 400,000 miles he put on it now all i use is castrol. I am sure luck had alot to do with getting that many miles but it made me a big believer.
Thank you. 400,000 miles is very impressive! I'll test Castrol in a few weeks. Thanks again!
Mobil 1 extended performance synthetic 5w30. Also I'm Waiting for a video with weicon " rust shock" penetration oil ahah. Great vid!
Thank you
Please, test the Motul 100% synthetics 8100 series engine oil. Let's say Motul 8100 Eco-nergy 5W-30, for example.
Thank you for the video idea!
I would also really like to see this
I also would like to see this
me too! I use xclean though
@@cplb I agree! I suggested Eco-nergy because my 2019 Mazda MX5 manual specifies ACEA A5/B5 oil. Eco-nergy is A5/B5, X-Clean is C3.

Thank you
This competition is getting heated...like the oil ;D Thanks for another fantastic video - now I am on to the next one!
You are welcome!
Many props to you for doing all these tests.
Thanks for watching!
Just added Amazon to my truck, hoping for the best! Have you placed Amazon against super tech yet? Would be interesting since they're both made by Warren!
I need to compete those 2 head to head. Great recommendation!
Also need to try Royal Kings Oil it's also made by Warren lubrication it would be a cool video to have all three of them neck-and-neck
Any plans to include Pennzoil Ultra Platinum full synthetic? Great video as usual! We appreciate your diligence!
Great recommendation!
Agreed its one of the best oils in the sub $25.00 that i have ever UOA blackstone tested. But the Amazon/Supertech oil is very good stuff.
@@joshuarobinson7522 , what your metal wear numbers?
that was good info thanks farm man
Congratulations on this great channel, I have serious doubts as I do not know whether to use the Valvoline Full Synthetic 5w30 oil (which was in the sixth place of your graph in the total antiwear test and also in the total detergent / dispersant test) or
the new generation 5w30 Liqui Moly Molygen oil. It would be very important for me to know this German oil, since I do not know which of the two to buy, to better protect the engine of my Toyota. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Save your money and go with the Valvoline, your Toyota will be perfectly fine with it. This isn’t some picky European vehicle. Regular maintenance will be more important than which brand oil as long as it’s a full synthetic.
Thanks Peter Dang: I have been doing a bit of research on the typical Valvoline Synpower properties sheet or specs, since 2015, 2018 and the last 2020 range, this last item in their Valvoline Fulll Synthetic drums, they put aside their famous name that included the premium products of The brand "Synpower" is now called Fulll Synthetic Advanced, but what starts to worry me is not only that the new line has a very poor information sheet, or typical properties sheet, on the characteristics of the oil (every two years the they are reducing, removing two data at a time)

The serious thing is that the quality of their oils has clearly decreased, I do not know if in the quality of the base oil HC (Hydrocracked), as well as in the additives (I have not seen laboratory analysis of the new line to compare) since the information of (loss by evaporation of the lubricant in the NOAK test) the current Valvoline 5w30 Full Synthetic 2020 shows a serious evaporation% of 15 when the 2018 line indicated a Noak of 9.3, this being much better to protect the engine. A high % of NOAK as in the 2020 line not only causes the oil to evaporate faster in the life of the engine, it affects the flash point of the lubricant itself as it is reduced, worsening the viscosity of the hot oil and decreasing the protection of the lubricating film at 100 ° C (which is the normal operating temperature of the engine at general levels) is not very thermostable, in addition a high% evaporation Noak increases the amount of sludge, varnishes and impurities in the oil, generating less engine life.
Also in the Pour Point °C test, in 2015 it went from -42 to -36 in the 2018 line, the 2020 maintain the same temperature, this is due to the worst quality of HC base used in the newer ranges. HTHS value from 2018 (3.2) to 2020 (3.1) I already decided to stay with Molygen New generation 5w30 and bought it (although not for price, because Molygen cost me more than Valvoline). Today Molygen new generation is superior to Valvoline 2020, If next year I still get the Valvoline 2018 games (better than the new one) I will buy again.
Please do a video on whether engine flush is beneficial and mandatory on every oil change...
BTW great video
You are the best!!
I agree that this would be a good idea to test
No need. Engine flush is not mandatory on every oil change or ANY oil change if you are hitting proper change intervals.
@@peterwelsh6975 ya but it would still be cool to see how well it works just because it's what he do! In all seriousness I'm very interested. A real world application might be where an engine wasn't so well maintained or has unknown maintenance and you the consumer are trying motor flush to see if it helps out. I actually used motor flush religiously in my 97 nissan altima for years and it didn't hurt anything mechanical anyways. In the end my rear main oil seal started leaking badly and the car wasn't worth much so I junked it. I actually read years later that the motor flush might have caused the oil leak by removing the crud that kept the seal from leaking.
Sonuvishwanath 9945312235 It’s certainly not. Regular oil changes will ensure your engine stays clean. I rebuild motors and see it all the time. Just recently rebuilt my 600 hp Toyota motor after 5,000 miles and it looked as clean as the day I first built it, and that’s with low detergent oil
Thank you for the video idea!
Castrol gtx magantec claims it clings to metal engine parts like a magnet
Let's find out!
I would love if you did a liqui moly vs motul engine oil test as well. Maybe I missed it but haven’t found you doing one yet. I would say you have the best videos and testing strategies.
Thanks for the great videos! I understand that synthetics tend to have better properties than conventional oils, but I'd love to see how the two types compare in your tests. How much difference is there? Walmart's Super-Tech offers both synthetic and conventional versions of 5w-30, so these might be a good choice for comparison.
Thank you!
please make a amazon basic vs shell rotella t6, thanks and more power to you
Thank you for the video idea!
ROTELLA T6 IS GOD
T6 is 5w40
@@kevindamvorisbacon424 come 5w30 too. according to google tho
@@driftingbrandonc.6480 5w30 is turbo gas. 5w40 is diesel. 10w30 is blend for newer diesels
I actually bought Amazon basics oil for my truck. It's arriving soon, and I hope I am as Happy as all these other buyers are out there .
I've had great results with the oil in my vehicles.
@@ProjectFarm My only complaint is the lack of any easy way to see how much oil remains in the container.
@@FWDoraDora13 Supposedly, the new batches have a visible meter on the side. Check out the new reviews.
I love your videos! You're very good at what you do
Thank you!
Great Video! I hate foot ball, but I love the football style play off chart! (although you can use that template for anything).
Thank you very much!!
Fantastic as always. :-) Poor Liqui Moly.
Thank you! Always enjoy your videos!! You've got a GREAT channel!
Pour poor liquid moly
@@ProjectFarm did you do a competition of Mobil 1 annual. 20k miles year
@@ProjectFarm great video im using Liqui Moly on my turbo ej25 engine for over 100k/km wish u could do test on oils in pressurized environment, ps i think most oils are good as long u change them on time...
Not much difference in the cold race or friction test. Doesn't really prove anything inside your engine over 5000 miles.
So these are just 1 “run” videos...do we know how well it holds up over continued use? Curious to know if there’s a curve on the performance of the Amazon basics so
It can pass all the tests initially and then it kicks rocks later?
Thank you for the test idea on long-term use.
PF,
Computer glitch comment never got posted ! was still spinning when I opened up the computer today fantastic ! Let’s try this again !
Amazon basics comes out again on top . Always excellent editing, great video quality, keep them coming ! Hope all is well with the kids and wife should be warming up outside? 72 F tomorrow my daughters are turning 2-4 tomorrow is their party at the firehouse.
General repair
General Repair, Thank you very much! We're going to have a cold, wet weekend here unfortunately. 2 and 4 are great ages and the party at the firehouse sounds like great times! They grow up too fast! Thanks again for the positive feedback and hope you enjoy the weekend!
