I think they are going to get us back on track. They are going to get rid of all the crap

How is the recoil compared with a .30-.30?

I was searching for a 5.0 but I’m glad I settled for the 2.7, that motor is a beast with great mpg.

Good Video but all I can conclude is the two companies often have different results, but there is no conclusion of which one is correct - so good info but not complete enough to really make a choice. What needs to be done is to have the same sample also sent to a lab that can provide its certification and calibration documents to act as a bit of a benchmark. In the end thought, perhaps it's more important to look at the relative results, ie use the lab results over several oil changes on your vehicle to detect changes that might signal problems. That is what I do with my vehicles, I have used Blackstone for years. On my last car, I saw declining metals on each oil change, so that tells me that the wear is reducing, primarily by using perhaps a better quality oil. The oil tests also helped with the sale of that vehicle, making the purchaser more confident in their decision.

I've used many different labs over the years. Currently using Eurofins Testoil. Once you create an account, cost is $45. You get the same tests, plus TBN, Gas Chromatography, Oxidation, Particle Count and if you ask Analytical Ferrography. They supply the bottles, vacuum pump, tubing and mailer for free. Same day turnaround, email report, if received in the morning. I've been using them for past 3 years, dozens of samples completed. Using Amsoil for 35 years.

I have a ‘23 with the 6 speed. Very happy with it. I would prefer the front end your ‘25 has however. Nice video!

Blackstone is also known for their machines being off. Doesn’t measure oxidation value as well which is very important. Speeddiagnostix with lake is also much more in depth.

Very good. Great info. Thanks

So what oil are you running or trust the most? I’m trying to decide between running valvoline extended/high mileage, Pennzoil ultra platinum or Amsoil.

I’m a recent resident of Ohio, moving from West Virginia last year in September. I don’t have a straight wall cartridge rifle, just an inline muzzleloader right now. I really want a lever gun, but they are expensive. So a bolt gun in either 350 Legend, 400 Legend, 450 BM would be more in my price range. I would like to get a left hand 400 Legend, but they currently only have one ammo available and it’s not as available as the 350 Legend in most stores.

1 or 2 ppm could be sampling error no difference.

Doesn't AMSOIL Signature Series go for 20k miles or 1 year? And according to Mobile 1 their product protects for 10k miles. So a better analysis would be at 10k and 20k miles respectively. Essentially a test of AMSOIL at 6k miles is only 1/4 life. Where a test of Mobile 1 at 6k miles is just over 1/2 life. Subsequently, we also need to question the oil filter used. An AMSOIL oil filter will match the change interval of 20k miles for Signature Series. After those considerations, we should then examine cost. Assuming your truck is a v8 you more than likely need 8.8 quarts, so we will round up to 9 quarts. AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-20 is $15.49 per quart at retail price. Retail for Mobile 1 5w-20 is $8.78 per quart. An AMOSIL filter costs $19.05. And a Wix filter costs $9.99. So AMSOIL would be $158.46 + tax. Mobile 1 would be $88.99 + tax. According to FHWA and NHTS the national average miles driven per year is between 12k-15k miles. This means that if you are using Mobile 1 you need to change your oil at least 2x per year (@ 10k miles, per Mobile 1). This means that your annual cost of maintenance to run Mobile 1 is at least $177.98 per year. As opposed to AMSOIL at $158.46 per year. There are lots of other factors that need to be taken into account starting with the overal comparison of Mobile 1 Full Synthetic versus AMSOIL Signature as this is not a direct comparison. As both Mobile and AMSOIL have a complete lineup of synthetic oils based on customer need. Furthermore, an oil analysis of both oils at 10k miles, which is the limitation of the Mobile 1 product used in your video. Additionally you did not mention if you replaced the filter during your oil change and if so what filter did you use? Then there are factors regarding time. How much do you value your time. Do you like changing your oil. If you are going to change your oil more frequently do you need to use an oil rated to 20k or 10k miles?

JOE you shoulda used an old rig like my 92 Escape 4x4 with 210,000 on it...I`ve done changes every 3-5,000 W/either Penzoil 5w-40 or Castrol GTX since I did the head & oil pan gaskets @ 75 & 150 ...It`s a very underrated 6 banger that had issues with the front end suspension, but once a fella BUMPS that up a notch she handles like a dream

Does the manual say that you can flat-tow this in behind a RV ?

😎sweeet...

Also savage is like the Walmart version of guns anymore they don’t hold up in the long term…. I’ll stick to my mossbergs

Americans complaining that 15 bucks a quart is high 😂 In Europe, much worse oils than Amsoil are sold at that price. It's nothing, really.

Cool equinox...had a 2020 nox...great ride but got totaled by a deer...bought wifey a 2025 Trax....its great so far also.

I have the 2024 Chevy Trax 1.2L 3cyl LT I think it’s on the VSS-F, is this one also made in Korea? I was looking at an Equinox Activ the Trax is great but small.

This is the AWD w/8 speed right?

It seems to me that all major brand synthetic oils (Mobil, Pennzoil, Valvoline, Amsoil, Castrol...) perform almost identically up to 5-6K mile drain intervals. Therefore, spending almost double on Amsoil makes no sense unless the range is increased to at least 12 -15K miles before another oil change is done.

To each their own. Used both and prefer Amsoil. I am not sure what changed in Mobil 1 formulation but preferred what i got in the 80's90'sver current but again .....

With the 350 Legend so popular, there is no reason for the 400 Legend. It is an answer in search of a question.

Amsoil too expensive. Mobil 1 is good value. I prefer valvoline over Mobil 1

Useless instructions in the manual for setting the WI-FI connection up...Would not buy again...

Mobil 1 it’s just advertisement, is the worst oil of them 3

Do a 0w20 vs 0w30

Im all set up for the 400. I have had orders with three shops waitingnon a Ruger Predator. I have passed on these Savages and Mossbergs. I may end up with a Savage 110 Trail. I also passed twice on Ruger Ranch Models. I simply want a longer barrel. Its been ten months... I have ammo, Brass, Dies and even bullet Molds ta make my own bullets... But No Ruger Predator Rifle...

Joe, thank you.

Good job but in my opinion I would never put the compressor inside and have to listen to that noise, I have a new Dewalt 60 gal and have a concrete pad out back and a roof over it and am getting ready to bolt mine down out there and hook it up and not have to listen to that noise, good luck,

"Let's end this debate." "Should you base your decision on the findings of this one test? No." 🤦‍♂️

I would like to get one these, but I don't have high hopes for the 400 Legend because it's barely a whisper in the hunting world and barely any reviews on it and only one brand of ammo out and it's been out for a year at least

I’d roll with the Mobil 1

I sighted mine in with some handloads I did with 195gr Barnes X for the 45 cal muzzleloader. I got one shot to take out the center of bull at 100. Then next was just slightly 1/2' left and down 3/4" but I kind of rushed it., Next I aimed at one of the corner dots. Tore the center out of the bull again! So I called that good! My scope is Minox 3x9 I got deal on as they were closing out. I am never usually happy with the package scopes.

I'm sure Amsoil will perform slightly better without watching the video... my argument for Mobil 1 advanced is that I can regularly buy a box of 6qts at Costco for $34. Mobil1 isn't the best but its a great value when purchased at Costco on sale.

I tried PUP on my 13 Accord 2.4l 6MT thats tuned. Engine seemed to be noisier. I tried Castrol Edge in the past but car didn’t start as smooth. I’ve been using Valvoline Extended Protrction recently and cold starts have been smooth and quick. However, I just did 2 autox events and 1 track day. 4,100 miles later, I changed the oil and burned a full quart or maybe quart and half of oi. I pour the full 5 quarts in and car calls for 4.4qt. Only around 3.5qts came out. I’m looking at different oils that have lower NOACK so it doesnt burn as much. Possibly may try LiquiMoly Molygen.

Be carefull with the mag ive had mine for less then a box of ammo and the mag broke

Looks good to go in straight wall states. I had a 350 and 450 at one time but my state doesnt have those regs. So went back to 223 remington. 🎉🎉 let the naysayers fuss. 223 is plenty for whitetail. And no meat wasted. I hate that. We can use any rifle here. 🎉🎉

I shot mine the other day for the first time exact setup as yours and it did the same thing. Not so sure about being bore sighted

Motul 8100 eco clean test? :)

Almost three times the cost per round as 308. Yea, sure, that’s “budget”.

Doesn't dig enough.

You have those wear metals in your samples probably from using regular gas in your GDI’s without enough cleaner, especially with a turbo you should use premium

I'm thinking of adding Zmax,is that a good idea?

This is very informative, I appreciate the video! However you're comparing pennzoil Ultra Platinum which is their best offering vs valvoline advanced synthetic which is their "mid level" offering. A more fair comparison I feel would have been to use valvolines highest offering which is their best "extended protection" or even "restore and protect" both of those are more in line with PUP as far as what they market and would likely yield even Closer results. This particular valvoline oil is inline with the regular Pennzoil Platinum. Just my two cents!

I bought the ZT HD 48" with the Kohler engine a few months ago. I was aiming for the Kawasaki engine, but the Kohler was available. My dealer told me that in his 30 years of selling zero turns, as long as you keep your engine properly serviced, he has not seen any difference in reliability between the two engines. So I got the Kohler engine. In fact, not only is the Kohler engine cheaper than the Kawasaki, but it is also 2 horsepower higher than the Kawasaki for the same mower. I'll take that extra power with my hills.

Plz test Castrol Edge black bottle.

Test will be more precise if you send a before and after sample of the oils.

P;s pin me

It looks so cool I should try that. Thank you for the idea!
