Some of you guys correctly called me out for not giving the additives (i.e. Molybdenum) appropriate credit. They’re a small percentage of the volume but I believe do make a real difference in the performance of the name-brand oil, it’s just really complex and outside the scope of what I could manage to test for a quick video like this. I’m going to see if we can figure out a way to really hone in on and test these in a future video. - Jer

@sanny783 3 роки тому
*To answer your question, the oil found at dollar stores and other cheap places are yes, lower grade, but will get the job done perfectly fine. People use valvoline, from not only the fact of how good the brand looks, but from the fact that most people believe that putting not only cheap parts on your car, but putting cheap fluids in your car are terrible. In a lot of cases, they are absolutely right. In this case though, it depends. Are you just driving a daily? You know..... A to B? Fine use this oil. Are you racing in the track? You know..... Trying to set records and pushing the car to the limit? Use valvoline and other oils with true quality to be safe in the case of malfunction. Good day!*
@DuBstep115 3 роки тому
@@sanny783 There are also racing oils that you cant find in the market like redline, tribodyn performance or royal purple. That are "slightly" better than the oils with "true quality" you mentioned. Tribodyn performance 20W50 for example performed 2000% better than Valvoline VR1 Racing 20W50 in lubricity test.
@sanny783 3 роки тому
@@DuBstep115 never said they didn't exist. What I met by "true quality" was oil with a reputation and stand alone history of being healthy for cars with horses made to gallop. When driving around in a track car that you run multiple laps while pushing it to the limit, you must be absolutely sure that your car is fully equipped. This doesn't only mean potentially a roll cage, but proper tires, wheels, suspension, intercooler, and all sorts of stuff that are needed for not only proper function in these sessions of pushing the car to the limit, but incase of failure. Oil is no acception. You must make sure the oil you are using has a garantee that it works well with such activities. If your driving a wagon though, using oil that isn't that expensive doesn't matter. Your not running it hard. That was my point. I don't know if you were trying to pick an argument because I didn't mention other oil brands even thought that wouldn't have changed nor helped my statement. I gave an answer because donut didn't give a straight on answer nor answer it at all.

Personally I use Amsoil. That being said I grew up using Quaker State. My parents sold a car to my half brother, hate claiming that much relation to him, and while he was driving the oil pump shaft broke. Instead of turning it off he drove around 100 miles and then brought it out to the house and demand that we fix it for free, did I mention he hadn't paid for the car yet. Well long story short I personally pulled the oil pan and the rod and main bearings and they looked fine. Think the car had circa 70-80k on it and that's what they looked like. I was amazed because the lifters were loud and I really thought the engine was toast after over 100 miles with zero oil pressure.

As most trained mechanics will tell you, as long as it has that API sticker and you change oil every 3K - 5K miles, you’re good to go. Now that said, there is a huge debate in the motorcycle community over using “motorcycle oil” (specifically Motul) vs anything else. Motorcycles usually have lubrication systems that use the engine oil to also lubricate the gear box. Would be cool to see THAT comparison.

Years ago we mostly used Pennzoil in cars at my work. Except for one car, a V8 Rover SD1. It turned it to sludge within 5000km. There was a NATA certified lab next door to us that tested fuel and oil for local refinery, so we got them to test it. Couldn't find anything wrong with the used oil.

you guys should test out some mechanic in a bottle type of products such as oil stop leak,or coolant leak/headgasket products. I personally don't recommend anyone use them unless it's a last resort before the car goes to scrap yard. aka low value cars that aren't worth putting the money into for a proper repair but need/want to keep them going just a little longer.

I'm a cheap oil guy. I buy super tech from Walmart and I get their 10,000 mile synthetic. It has the letters API SN stamp on it. And you know that one of these other guys on the shelf is actually bottling it for them. In reality it is probably Castrol or Pennzoil. But I will not used unmarked gas station oil or dollar store oil. Some of those brands don't even have an API sticker. I saw something years ago where they tested a lot of it and it actually made engines wear much faster.

@Big73Red 3 роки тому
From my experience at first cheap generic oil is just as good as Valvoline, Pennzoil, etc. fresh out of the bottle. But over time it breaks down a lot quicker and causes you to need an oil change sooner and it tends to be harder on your engine because the base isn’t as uniformly processed. So if you’re just needing to change your oil in a pinch once or twice go ahead and buy the cheap stuff. But as a chemical engineer and a car guy I wouldn’t use the cheap stuff for more than a couple oil changes during the life of your car. Unless you’re looking to be like Nolan and neglect your engine.

Ahhh the age old debate of Group III vs Group IV/V. Then in steps Shell a few years ago with its' GTL (Gas-To-Liquids) based oils. It's a pretty decent compromise. It's not quite Group III, and it's not quite Group IV. It's somewhere in-between, and you can get well performing oils at a good price (eg. Shell Helix Ultra 5W30; 5W40 etc.). Turning gaseous hydrocarbons back into liquid hydrocarbons (like base oils) gives you significantly better control of the contaminants in your base oil. No, I don't work for Shell, and I don't sell their products. I'm just a car guy that's spent too much time messing with different oils and going down that rabbit hole. If you've got the money to blow and are pushing some insane horsepower numbers, you'd be mad not to run a Group IV/V.... but if you're just a regular joe who likes his to mess with his daily driver and make moderate power, the GTL oils provide great performance for the money.

If it says "API SERVICE SN" then it's been tested to meet OEM specs for modern engines. All brands should meet this spec. Sure, you can extend the oil change interval slightly with full synthetics because it doesn't break down as fast, but it won't improve the performance or longevity of the engine vs using conventional oil. What does destroy engines is failing to change the oil regularly.

Common misconception Jeremiah. Pump jacks actually push. There’s a long braided steel cable that’s inside of a tube going down into the earth that ends in a piston. As the pump Jack turns, that piston creates pressure in an underground pocket, and that pressure forces oil & gas to the surface through the wellhead. If you ever want to see how crude oil extraction happens, I can show you one of the well sites I work on :)

There’s way more things that oil can be used for but that can all be done in another video! Overall great video look forward to seeing more!!!
