Freezing oil takes 24hr, cook test are 120 mins , wear testing 10 mins, oil race, and running in small engines, AND he didn't just step away and wait for timers.

The green hue is actually a good thing! It means it is real Pennsylvania Grade Crude oil. It's green because the oil has a low asphalt content. Back when there were lots of conventional oil wells in Pennsylvania, the oil usually had this green hue. It also tended to have the right hydrocarbon lengths to be optimized for lubrication. There wasn't much refining necessary. That's why two major lubricating oil brands, Quaker State and Pennzoil, have their roots in PA. Sunoco also got started with lubricating oil in PA but quickly diversified into fuel oil in other states. Nowadays, most crude from Pennsylvania is fracked directly out of the Marcellus shale; the green stuff usually migrated out of the Marcellus and into reservoir rocks like limestone. The shale oil is black. But I've seen the green oil, especially a few times where my rig was drilling for gas around old conventional wells. And I'm sure Pennzoil and Quaker State get oil from all over the place, because they're brands, not companies. Oil can come in all kinds of colors besides black.
Back in the 60's it was (Edit: generally accepted) common knowledge that PA crude produced the best oils. I used Quaker State in all my vehicles back then. Used to have the tool that would punch the hole in the can and double as the pour spout. Always kept it in a clean coffee can to keep the dust off.

@Джейсон Хичкок My dad told me new cars when he was a kid (late 50s) offered oil filters as OPTIONAL equipment. If you sprang for the filter, you could extend your normal 2000 mile oil change to 3000 miles. 50,000 miles on a car was considered very high miles (probably equiv. to 200K today).
The question is whether the oil can be affected by the long storage time. And the metal can is also 70 years old. But is it the same type of metal can that is manufactured today, maybe there are other substances in that can?

Another amazing production analysis. I remember seeing that green Quaker State vintage mid 1960's! It was greenish and did have an SAE rating at the time. There were Detergent and non detergent types. I recall non detergent was recommended for older engines so as not to dissolve or stir up to many engine deposits, I recon!
The reason you saw no weight grade on the can was the rust. They marked the top of the can. Back in the day of single weight oils you ran 10s and 20s in the winter and 30s and 40s summer based on your operation zone. If it was a detergent oil or nondetergent it was on the top too. Can sides were universal labeling with only the top being the varying label component.
Oil changes are a money hungry scam. Whether you do or don't believe me, my dad has a box truck with 170k miles when he got rid of it. It still had the original oil when he got rid of it. It's still on the road today.
back in the 60's my dad believed in Quacker stump for years, he had dump truck that we would rebuild every two years. that oil turned to dirt and made the over haul a job a dirty mess, top end one could plant seeds in the valve covers and the oil pan was half full of the same. took years to get him to change his mind from using that mud. thanks for the memories.

Enjoy your fun comparisons! A thought...the wear scar test may be skewed in favor the inferior oils. As the scar gets larger, the bearing surface is larger, thus the psi load is lessened meaning the oil isn’t stressed as much. A smaller scar may mean a substantially higher load bearing oil in this example as it’s smaller load bearing surface represents a substantially higher psi loading. Whatcha think?
I remember using that kind of oil in the 60’s, with those kind of cans you had this metal spout that you could push into the can so you didn’t need a funnel. Most of the cars back then seemed to burn oil as there always seemed to be this big blue cloud of smoke coming out of the tail pipe when you started the car. Also we usually did our own oil changes but would just dig a hole under the car/truck and drain the oil into the ground, kind of like returning it to where it came from I guess ;)
Mrs. Beast haha yeah i tried getting a pair of the cheapest tires once and one was out of round. although they're not too bad for the price if you return or claim warranty on defective tires as soon as possible
and engine blocks… I mean... stock... leme say that again, STOCK block and rotating assembly 5.3 making over 1100hp... no special high-nickle Mexican block with black voodoo infused pistons... STOCK from GM... making and HOLDING well over 1,000hp fyi: I do not endorse LS motors... personally I hate em, but damn what a claim
I think I actually remember that green tint to the oil that we used to use on the farm that was from a punch can about 40 years ago. Just like Grandpa used to use on the farm. That color isn't from sitting in the can it was actually greenish back then too. That was before the fancy additives were added to oils.
I suppose that as the Crude Oil is a few million years old then the 70 year old oil is not even going to register on any time frame, great video and good to see how oil technology has progressed over 70 years! I am sticking with Mobil 1 !
@@laserfalcon I found out long before the internet how bad Pennsylvania motor oils were for gunking up engines. Torn enough engines down over time to see for myself which oils were good and back then Quaker State was one of the worst with Pennzoil a close second. Modern oils are a lot different and I'm not tearing engines down much anymore so these brands may be good now but I still won't use them.
When you opened that oil can I was waiting to see if you had the old fashioned opener that slid in and opened it with the built in pour neck made into it, made of metal. I guess I'm telling my age now. GOOD JOB of testing, I watch almost ALL of your videos and appreciate the NON BIASED results no matter the name brand. It's good to know that their are still some AMERICANS out there that CAN'T be bought by corporate money. STAY JUST LIKE YOU ARE.
I work in an oil lab and i was surprised how you simulated tests like volatility loss, cold properties or cold crank simulator, lubricity... with "normal, daily" DIY stuff. We work with standardised materials and apparatus but even kitchen utensils, PVC pipes and an old lawn mower can do the test... you proved it. Since the 1950's oil has developped a lot. Modern cars need oil change every 10-150000km (or more ?) while in those days 2500km was already "a lot". Thanks to additives, despersives, synthetic oil formulations, better cold characteristics and so many more.
I remember oil change intervals of 5000 kilometers in the 1960's. And today they 11,000 to 16,000. 150,000 is a bit much! I'm guessing that was a typo.
@Lbolting005 Why do you doubt he has a fucking old can of oil? And if you manage to fuck up spelling "your mama" you are automatically legally unable to insult anyone.
The green is zinc, which is actually a good thing. Penn Grade racing oil is one of the few oils you can still buy with significant quantities of zinc added.
Catching this video and the old grease one just now, and I love seeing these tests, because there are totally things that they made better back in earlier years of engineering. But the conditions and tolerances were different for those older vehicles, and I imagine people putting newer lubricants in a older machine and seeing suboptimal results, and vice versa with new machines.
This video really helps prove to us just how much better “modern” engine oils have become, largely through the use of chemical additives. Just imagine the combined economic gain from this advancement...amazing! Thanks for the sharing this!
@@cgasucks i wouldn't bet my house on the probabilties that in 70 years most cars will be electric . Something tells me that combustion engins will still be arround and not just a few of them
When he opened that old can of oil that sure brought back some memory, I remembered 40 plus year ago I had to add oil to my 69 Dodge Dart every other month and that oil was also greenish color and it was in paper oil can and I used a pour sprout with a piercing end to add oil to the engine. Back then nobody said anything about you have to change oil every three months or three thousand miles, we just look at the drip stick and feel the viscosity of the oil on our fingers and if the oil is very dark and thin we then do an oil change, exactly un-scientific but those were the good old days.
Yes we were indeed told to change it, every 3,000 miles was typical. I have always changed mine every 2,000 miles. Many people though hardly ever changed it. With the oils of the day, the engine would be shot at about 50,000 miles.
I can remember when a friend of mine worked in a full service gas station, when you would add oil to a cars engine, that ws back in the mid 70's. You're video's are always informative.
This oil is designed for antique motors with no oil filters. My 1926 dodge has a manufacture recommended oil change at 500 miles. In these engines you do not want any detergents or dispersants as they will not be filtered out.
If someone was smart enough to pay extra for a filter for the Chevy it was a bypass type that clamped to the intake manifold with oil lines going to the pressure and return ports. Sometime in the 60s you could no longer get good elements. Then you needed to install a Frantz oil cleaner. Frantz Also made an adapter so you could use toilet paper in the stock housings. Then you could give the finger to the oil change racket.
I used 30 Penn oils in my first cars, 1959 VW 36hp, and mom's new 1970 MGB GT. It had great reputation in 1966-70. I do recall the '59 VW having milky oil breather build up especially during Connecticut winter driving. I think I changed the oil between 2-3,000 mile intervals, depending on milkyness.
My father was a career master auto mechanic. In his lifetime he rebuilt hundreds of engines, transmissions and drivetrain components. One piece of knowledge he passed on to me was to identify two brands of oils when disassembling motors for service. Those two brands, based upon customer/owner response, were Pennzoil and Quaker State. The inside of the engine had built up large clumps of deposits which even though large could be broken down between your fingers. The biggest hazard they could impose would be to dislodge and plug drain ports like in the rocker galley. The only thing I could deduce as to why was that both brands were paraffin based oils. To this day 35 years later I would never buy nor use these two brands.
I suspect you don't even read your old comments but I never realized how old I am! Remember the spouts that were shoved into the top of the can and the end would be the spout? I was 18 in the "olden days" and worked at a Texaco station as mechanic/ pump jockey in 1976. No plastic cans back then!
Our extended family kept our cars for many years. I remember it being a rare thing for an engine to make it to 100k before something blew up. Now.. it's not uncommon to see an engine hit 300k+ and it still run like new. My 92 Camry 4 has over 460K and only recently has it started to smoke a bit.
Hang onto it - you won't get close to that with anything built after 2007. Things are getting worse by the year. Regressing, thanks to automakers trying to save a buck.
@@SmittySmithsonite It's not entirely caused by savings, but rather it is business. Why would you make long lasting engines if you get money when they break?
@@MadEvo606 - That's immoral business. Sign of the times. My '86 Grand Marquis with the 302 / 5.0 V8 has 267k miles on it - doesn't burn a drop of oil. Runs perfect. All original factory fuel pump, and driveline, too!
Back in the 1960's this is the only oil my dad used.This and a container of STP. Everyone talked about how it sludged up your engine, but our cars always went well over 100,000 miles a high number during that time. Dad passed away 35 years ago. I still have the spout he used that not only opened the metal can but was the pouring spout as well.
Thanks for the test! I'm cleaning out the garage and I still have 3 qts. of 1970s Pennzoil 30 weight I cleared out of my dad's shed 15 years ago. It's kind of nostalgic, but I may as well recycle it, because I already have way too much nostalgia!

I have Uncle thay worked a farm that he grew up on. He would buy oil by the drum for all the different equipment on the farm. He put that straight SAE 30 non detergent oil in everything. Including a 1965 Ford F100. After over 150k miles on the F100 it started to fall apart. So my Uncle got another truck. We could not waite to take that inline 6 cylinder apart. Wow, its hard to believe bet there was very little wear and not that dirty. The oil was changed evert 3500 miles. I was impressed.
Todd, I am a recent subscribed member and love your show! I came across a problem that that everyone will likely come across when it comes to refrigerators and AC units for cars and home. I was given a Maytag refrigerator for free and it was only 4 yrs old and it looks like new. I took it on as a project and it clearly was low on refrigerant. I installed a piercing valve and I refilled it and it worked perfect for two months and then it stopped cooling. I refilled it with Freon R134A and sure enough it worked great again but required to be refilled twice the first to weeks. I took apart the unit and exposed all the components and filled according to instructions a liquid dye and bought a Freon sniffing tool and after three weeks i absolutely could not find the leak so i knew i had a micro leak that was likely under the insulation in the frig box. So instead of destroying the frig I bought a product on line called supercool sealer made in the USA. Due to sketchy info on the direction on the package I had to call the people that sold this product to determine the proper amount of sealer required for a home refrigerator and they said it was equal to a quarter ton refrigeration unit. I started the project May 22- 2022 and placed the sealer in the unit and kept a steady log. Its now been two full months and i had to fill the unit twice in the first two weeks and since then the leak seems to have slowed down but hasn't stopped yet and i am getting to critical level on the intake compressor pressure. My question to you, is there a way to test this product and others to prove if they really work or not and which one really is good ? I think we all can benefit from this.
I have loved every video of yours I've seen, even on the few I disagreed with testing processes or conclusions. How have I *NOT* subscribed before now?! (Subbed)
I hope you sent Bobby his aluminum box back with the empty can , those guy's collect oil cans . Thank you for the videos,your honesty is highly appreciated .Truth is a powerful weapon against evil.
I well remember Green oil, yes it does smell different. Big problem was it is paraffin based oil, along with high evaporation rate, under the valve covers was a gooey waxy mess had to scrape the valve covers and valve springs, rocker arms to adjust the valve clearance. Back then blow by was via a tube down under the car, air rushing by caused a vacuum and drew out the fumes. THANKS FOR YOUR TESTING !!!
My grandfather owned a Atlantic Richfield gas station back in the sixties and seventies. I hung out there alot and remember these kinds of oil cans. I used pennzoil in the same kind of cans in my 1955 chevy as a teen. No wonder the engines back then were wore out at 100,000 miles

And paralled it my older 26 gallon kobalt, ran them to a T into Lowe's 7 gallon portable air tank and I run my line off the tank. Running 2 compressors in parallel is much cheaper per cfm for airflow and it's highly portable. Price wise you can get two 2.5hp ten gallon compressors for $300 run them to a portablr air tank and roughly have 10cfm at 90. Your entry level 60 gallons make around this and cost more the twice as much and stationary. So it was like blessing it happened. Spent less money,free non botched delivery.

You have to put it in a metal box if you store it a year lol
Aaron Woodwell agreed. I’ve always felt that oil, especially synthetic, if stored at room temp in a sealed container will last for a long time.
Oil changes are a money hungry scam. Whether you do or don't believe me, my dad has a box truck with 170k miles when he got rid of it. It still had the original oil when he got rid of it. It's still on the road today.
Karl Hopkins I smell cap
back in the 60's my dad believed in Quacker stump for years, he had dump truck that we would rebuild every two years. that oil turned to dirt and made the over haul a job a dirty mess, top end one could plant seeds in the valve covers and the oil pan was half full of the same. took years to get him to change his mind from using that mud. thanks for the memories.

The sound of opening that can brought back so many memories..........
Agree! I'm showing my age. Oil was packaged like this when I was growing up.
@@ProjectFarm - Same here. Getting strong enough to stab a spout into the top of the can was almost like a rite of passage.
@@ProjectFarm I remember jabbing a screw driver through the top if a church key wasn't handy lol back when a can/bottle opener was in every toolbox. I'm not telling my age though lol.
Hell, you'd use your beer can oppener to open your oil then open a cold PBR.
Yes, it always driped a drop to the side of the can on those colunm monted perforators...
when you said 70 years old I was thinking like 1930s when you said 1950 i was like dang im getting old.
Lol
Yup
Same here. Sigh.
Jon Mantooth I miss the 2000s simply for how simple it was to convert years backwards. We’ll be old and crabby without anything to show for it soon!
I remember when I realized that someone born at the end of WWII was 18 when I was born. Now, eighteen years ago doesn't even get me back to the last century.
Enjoy your fun comparisons!
A thought...the wear scar test may be skewed in favor the inferior oils.
As the scar gets larger, the bearing surface is larger, thus the psi load is lessened meaning the oil isn’t stressed as much.
A smaller scar may mean a substantially higher load bearing oil in this example as it’s smaller load bearing surface represents a substantially higher psi loading.
Whatcha think?
Those factors are all constant. No difference.
I remember using that kind of oil in the 60’s, with those kind of cans you had this metal spout that you could push into the can so you didn’t need a funnel. Most of the cars back then seemed to burn oil as there always seemed to be this big blue cloud of smoke coming out of the tail pipe when you started the car. Also we usually did our own oil changes but would just dig a hole under the car/truck and drain the oil into the ground, kind of like returning it to where it came from I guess ;)
Thanks for sharing.
They went to plastic bottles in 86
I seem to remember my grandmother telling me "way back when", during the 40's and 50's, you had to change your oil every 1000 miles. Now I see why.

Not all cars then even had oil filters. Now you can see why even more clearly...

I think I actually remember that green tint to the oil that we used to use on the farm that was from a punch can about 40 years ago. Just like Grandpa used to use on the farm. That color isn't from sitting in the can it was actually greenish back then too. That was before the fancy additives were added to oils.

Thanks for the video, very good analysis. My dad had so many cans of that in our garage in the 60s. No wonder he was always chasing the oil!
It never occurred to me that “Quaker State” referred to Pennsylvania 🤦🏻♀️
Was a waxy oil,. Pennsylvania had the first oil wells
Me neither, now I feel stupid.
bruh, where you think the oatmeal comes from?
Where do you think the name Pennzoil come from?
PA oil made JD Rockefeller rich. A lot of history in that state.
@@laserfalcon I found out long before the internet how bad Pennsylvania motor oils were for gunking up engines. Torn enough engines down over time to see for myself which oils were good and back then Quaker State was one of the worst with Pennzoil a close second. Modern oils are a lot different and I'm not tearing engines down much anymore so these brands may be good now but I still won't use them.
When you opened that oil can I was waiting to see if you had the old fashioned opener that slid in and opened it with the built in pour neck made into it, made of metal. I guess I'm telling my age now. GOOD JOB of testing, I watch almost ALL of your videos and appreciate the NON BIASED results no matter the name brand. It's good to know that their are still some AMERICANS out there that CAN'T be bought by corporate money. STAY JUST LIKE YOU ARE.
Telling your age ? ? ? SHOOT , I , HAVE ONE ! ! ! !
great test. explains why they used to change oil more often.
Thanks!
I work in an oil lab and i was surprised how you simulated tests like volatility loss, cold properties or cold crank simulator, lubricity... with "normal, daily" DIY stuff. We work with standardised materials and apparatus but even kitchen utensils, PVC pipes and an old lawn mower can do the test... you proved it.
Since the 1950's oil has developped a lot. Modern cars need oil change every 10-150000km (or more ?) while in those days 2500km was already "a lot". Thanks to additives, despersives, synthetic oil formulations, better cold characteristics and so many more.
I remember oil change intervals of 5000 kilometers in the 1960's. And today they 11,000 to 16,000. 150,000 is a bit much! I'm guessing that was a typo.

Catching this video and the old grease one just now, and I love seeing these tests, because there are totally things that they made better back in earlier years of engineering. But the conditions and tolerances were different for those older vehicles, and I imagine people putting newer lubricants in a older machine and seeing suboptimal results, and vice versa with new machines.
Thanks for the feedback.
This video really helps prove to us just how much better “modern” engine oils have become, largely through the use of chemical additives. Just imagine the combined economic gain from this advancement...amazing! Thanks for the sharing this!

When he opened that old can of oil that sure brought back some memory, I remembered 40 plus year ago I had to add oil to my 69 Dodge Dart every other month and that oil was also greenish color and it was in paper oil can and I used a pour sprout with a piercing end to add oil to the engine. Back then nobody said anything about you have to change oil every three months or three thousand miles, we just look at the drip stick and feel the viscosity of the oil on our fingers and if the oil is very dark and thin we then do an oil change, exactly un-scientific but those were the good old days.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes we were indeed told to change it, every 3,000 miles was typical. I have always changed mine every 2,000 miles. Many people though hardly ever changed it. With the oils of the day, the engine would be shot at about 50,000 miles.
Last time I was this early, that oil was still being refined.
lol. Good one!
“Is oil good after 70 years?”

Thanks! lol
This oil is designed for antique motors with no oil filters. My 1926 dodge has a manufacture recommended oil change at 500 miles. In these engines you do not want any detergents or dispersants as they will not be filtered out.
I would bet that this oil is better for my car than any modern oil.
My old 1956 Chevy Pickup, 6 cylinder, came from the factory with no oil filter. I bought it 2d hand in 1970. :)
If someone was smart enough to pay extra for a filter for the Chevy it was a bypass type that clamped to the intake manifold with oil lines going to the pressure and return ports. Sometime in the 60s you could no longer get good elements. Then you needed to install a Frantz oil cleaner. Frantz Also made an adapter so you could use toilet paper in the stock housings. Then you could give the finger to the oil change racket.
@Martin Battilana If that oil was from 1920 it would be 100 years old.
@@jimdrich1967 My Studebaker Lark was also made without an oil filter. It lasted a very long time.
I used 30 Penn oils in my first cars, 1959 VW 36hp, and mom's new 1970 MGB GT.
It had great reputation in 1966-70. I do recall the '59 VW having milky oil breather build up especially during Connecticut winter driving. I think I changed the oil between 2-3,000 mile intervals, depending on milkyness.
Thanks for sharing.
My father was a career master auto mechanic. In his lifetime he rebuilt hundreds of engines, transmissions and drivetrain components.
One piece of knowledge he passed on to me was to identify two brands of oils when disassembling motors for service.
Those two brands, based upon customer/owner response, were Pennzoil and Quaker State.
The inside of the engine had built up large clumps of deposits which even though large could be broken down between your fingers.
The biggest hazard they could impose would be to dislodge and plug drain ports like in the rocker galley.
The only thing I could deduce as to why was that both brands were paraffin based oils.
To this day 35 years later I would never buy nor use these two brands.
Thanks for the feedback.

I have Uncle thay worked a farm that he grew up on. He would buy oil by the drum for all the different equipment on the farm. He put that straight SAE 30 non detergent oil in everything. Including a 1965 Ford F100. After over 150k miles on the F100 it started to fall apart. So my Uncle got another truck. We could not waite to take that inline 6 cylinder apart. Wow, its hard to believe bet there was very little wear and not that dirty. The oil was changed evert 3500 miles. I was impressed.
Todd, I am a recent subscribed member and love your show! I came across a problem that that everyone will likely come across when it comes to refrigerators and AC units for cars and home. I was given a Maytag refrigerator for free and it was only 4 yrs old and it looks like new. I took it on as a project and it clearly was low on refrigerant. I installed a piercing valve and I refilled it and it worked perfect for two months and then it stopped cooling. I refilled it with Freon R134A and sure enough it worked great again but required to be refilled twice the first to weeks. I took apart the unit and exposed all the components and filled according to instructions a liquid dye and bought a Freon sniffing tool and after three weeks i absolutely could not find the leak so i knew i had a micro leak that was likely under the insulation in the frig box. So instead of destroying the frig I bought a product on line called supercool sealer made in the USA. Due to sketchy info on the direction on the package I had to call the people that sold this product to determine the proper amount of sealer required for a home refrigerator and they said it was equal to a quarter ton refrigeration unit. I started the project May 22- 2022 and placed the sealer in the unit and kept a steady log. Its now been two full months and i had to fill the unit twice in the first two weeks and since then the leak seems to have slowed down but hasn't stopped yet and i am getting to critical level on the intake compressor pressure.
My question to you, is there a way to test this product and others to prove if they really work or not and which one really is good ? I think we all can benefit from this.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Back then blow by was via a tube down under the car, air rushing by caused a vacuum and drew out the fumes.

Keep this shit up the robots are goin to replace you faster and people wont care. Robots wont destroy their shit. Stays in the trunk. 3 times I jus asked for a refund and went to Lowe's and got a better deal and got there 120/240 volt beast of a air compressor. And paralled it my older 26 gallon kobalt, ran them to a T into Lowe's 7 gallon portable air tank and I run my line off the tank. Running 2 compressors in parallel is much cheaper per cfm for airflow and it's highly portable. Price wise you can get two 2.5hp ten gallon compressors for $300 run them to a portablr air tank and roughly have 10cfm at 90. Your entry level 60 gallons make around this and cost more the twice as much and stationary. So it was like blessing it happened. Spent less money,free non botched delivery. And can run my paint guns without having to wait for the air to catch up just have them on two separate breakers. I digress
