You broke 2 engines but you might have extended the life of many engines by showing the world these tests, Thanks for the info :)
Excellent point! Thanks for commenting on this.
EXACTLY!!! These engines are being put to GREAT use and he's not only helping everyone out by showing use the results, he's actually donating them when he's done with them so even more people can learn with them.
This man is great and he deserves every good thing he has in his life, and he deserves the even better things bound to come his way down the line.
You know, now that I think about it this dude is saving the planet. By doing the tests he's making our engines last longer. So we don't have to hurt the planet more by producing more engine. He's Captain Planet.
You also have to think he's running these with zero oil in it. He's not saying to ever do that, there will always be wear on parts no matter the fluid. These tests however show a great "if worst comes to worst scenario". Still, it wont really matter what you use, if you choose to use an additive. These tests show the viewers more on what product you may want to stop wasting your money on.
Amazing thought process
The most likeable human on the net
Thanks bud 👍
Crazy Funny Cats Nawh that’s AvE
Absolutely
ALEX,
KEEP UR "STICK ON THE ICE"!
Crazy Funny Cats he's right next to Tom on the hitler Hank's scale for sure 👍
Likeable AND educational!?
PF for president 2024!
Mike Rowe can be VP!
😁👍
I love the no-nonsense nature of this channel. There isn't any sponsorship, any gags, or any show, just straight up testing and comparing. And I love it
Thank you very much!
Thank you for providing a non-biased, non-influenced place to show honest results. It’s very much appreciated!
This was great. Thank you. You do the REAL testing that everyone else is too damn afraid to take on. Carry on, Sir!
Thanks for watching.
15:20 Destructive testing is absolutely necessary to define the durability of the product- there is no question about it.
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
I agree! Destructive testing is a part of every industry. The fact that he doesn't work for any of these companies is a large plus. Keep up the destruction!
Project Farm hey bro thanks for the video im glad i recommend you to do a video on zmax oh boy am glad you did this i won't buy zmax maybe lucas syntetic oil in the future thanks and what a great video brother.
Just remember to not use the lucas as directed. Once you start using it full the strength, the engine becomes dependent on it. If you're engine is getting a little rougher and older, try just a few ounces. I really made a difference for me when I was in a dessert and I needed a little more viscosity protection. When I got out of the dessert, I didn't keep using it and the engine was okay with that. When my engine is more worn, I'll use a little all the time if it ever comes to that. This way, as the engine wear gets worse you can increase how much you use. If you go straight to 20% of the volume being Lucas long enough, you'll never be able to stop using it. @@joeg.1119 I've tested some Lucas products and more on my channel if you'd like to check it out.
Without these test people will still be buying crap products.
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm not. thank you for your hard work and dedication.
This ending was as honest as could be. Always appreciated.
Thanks so much!
That was actually pretty impressive for the Lucas. I'd like to see regular oil for a comparison, as well.
Thanks for the suggestion.
You my good friend are way to good for TH-cam... your a special kind of guy that we need more of lol, the compassion for your viewers is OFF THE CHAIN haha, and you show it every video , you have great content and your out to not cheat the consumer by doing your testing
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
Couldn't not have put it any better. This channel is exploding because of this dedication
It would be really cool to see him get the recognition he deserves in the form of some sort of award for being such an outstanding example of what it takes, not just to be a great TH-camr, but also just a great person.
This is simply an amazing channel with very scientific but yet real world research and situations. It is very clear that a lot of work goes into the making of these videos.
GonZo c
As a control sample, I would like to see an additional motor without any additives. This would tell us if the additives do any good at all.
Thank you for the feedback!
That’s a very good point I hadn’t thought about.
They are both useless in a well-designed engine with no obstructions in the oil circulation system. They are only useful in badly-designed engines or badly-maintained engines.
Lucas is oil premixed with a "climbing agent" that makes the oil stick to moving parts (gears, crankshaft counterweights, etc.) so it will get flung into neglected spots the oil doesn't normally reach. Lucas doesn't add any lubricity to normal engine oil, but because it's premixed with oil already, it's still a decent lubricant on its own. It's a BAD idea to run 100% Lucas though, because too much climbing agent will prevent the piston rings from scavenging oil properly and the engine will smoke like a chimney.
As for the Z-Max, it's basically a "pour-point depressant" that reduces the viscosity of cold oil so it circulates better -- hopefully without reducing the hot-viscosity of the oil once it's heated up. That should be completely unnecessary in a modern car because the oil they use is so thin already. However, I'd be interested to see a repeat of the initial viscosity and lubricity tests with the oil+additive mixture cooled in the freezer overnight.
@@deusexaethera OMG this guy can read.......... Wtf....
@@themanthemyththelegend1392: ...huh?
Sir, what you do for the TH-cam community is amazing! You are the gold standard of testing products many of us use or want to use and I always check your channel before buying something just in case you covered it. I have made several purchases based off your findings and from the bottom of my heart: Thank You so much for taking the time and money to provide all of us professionally made comparison videos, for free none the less! Your one of the best TH-cam creators on here and I have shown coworkers and friends your channel so they to can learn from your videos. I hope you never stop making them, have a wonderful day man!
seriously I watch your channel like a TV show - most of those products are not even in Europe but your testing methodology is on the point and you do not make it boring to watch! Keep up!
It's always a bit of a cringe to watch brand new products being damaged but this is no way a waste at all. It is a case study to help prevent waste on a much larger scale. You're doing big favors for people and in my opinion helping create less waste in the long run. Thank you again for another informative video and thank you for devoting your time for all of these.
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
True but like you pretty much said. Its all for research unlike techrex which just brakes things for views
Not only is he doing a great service to us all, he's also helping the next generation of small engine mechanics. A win win, if ever I've seen one.
Note taken Kevin, but this is no different than auto manufacturers building their products to sellable specs to perform crash tests for safety purposes 🙂💪🏽
Being donated to a school afterwards is a great idea. The crankshaft may be too far gone to go back in for a rebuild.
Probably not too expensive to replace it,along with the other parts. I'm a bit curious about the collective wear in some of the other areas of the machine.
I wonder what the valve lash gap was like after running with basically no lubrication.
I don’t know about you guys, but I fucking love this guy. Mechanic work is a lost art. So many guys my age don’t even know how to put air in their tires.
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
I was at a gas station by the college in my town and a young man asked me to fill his tires for him while I was doing mine. His gf was in the car shaking her head from embarrassment. Taught him how to do it though. He was very grateful.
That's about all I know how to do 😢
@@thunderjeep08 yep glad I'm not from that Gen lol
Destructive testing is ultimately the only way to know where the limits are. Well done!
Thanks!
I went to york county school of technology for small engines and it was always awesome when someone donated engines or small equipment. Those students (and us viewers) thank you.
You are welcome!
Best experimental channel out there in my opinion, thanks for all you do.
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
Yes it is indeed.
Hello I would like to return these engines they don’t seem to be working properly
Harbor freight employees: we watched your video
Fair enough
lol
Yeah, no questions asked.
The label at 10:23 says check the oil every 8-hours, it must have leaked out after the initial fill (LOL).. Horrible Freight guys said their air compressors were returned seized up and no oil in them, perhaps the reason oil-free pumps replaced their products.
I am a harbor freight guy. Most of our stuff is returned due to mistreatment.
@@codyaaron2129 Harbor Freight is alright. I go in on sidewalk sale days - $5 for this and $10 for that - ring it all up at the cash register and the total is $500.00, WTF!!! I saved so much I went broke, LMAO!!!
I'm so glad I found this channel, I love it! Been watching your videos all day.
Thank you very much!
Easily the most upfront likable person here on TH-cam I remeber when u were a small channel now I come back to millions. It’s awesome I love your content!
Thanks so much!
So I guess all Z-Max is 99% mineral oil and 1% purple dye.
only .5 percent purple dye, the other part is magic fairy dust derived from unicorn horns
It's actually a cheap parafin oil. The kind that's like $30 a barrel. Very cheap stuff. They got sued, I heard, sorry I didn't confirm, all the way up to the Supreme court for selling something so cheap that does so very little. When I have a customer insist on using Zmax, I tell them we can use just a little. Why? Because then it won't do any harm, lol.
Don't get me wrong, I used it as described in 2000 on my 1994 Ford Escort. It made it fast and it also wore the engine out very quickly. I got 10-20% better gas mileage for months just to get a permanent 10-20% loss in gas mileage from engine damage until I got sick of it enough to get rid of it. Sure, they have an engine safety promise, but since it was only enough engine damage to lower gas mileage, I'm sure I couldn't have won the case. @Google User
DE Nichols 10-20% better mileage. That is quite an imagination you have there.
@@LTVoyager those were the varying real numbers. Gas mileage is a range. If someone is sure it's always the same, while possible, then the information may be suspect.
DE Nichols My point is that you can’t possibly get even 10% better mileage due to a change in the oil used. Frictional loss ranges from 3-9% in most IC engines based on percentage of load. The 9% value would be at idle under no load and 3% would be at maximum power output. So, if we say the average friction during normal driving is 5-6%, then even if you found a magic oil that completely eliminates friction, you would at most get 5-6% more fuel mileage. The reality is you might reduce friction 20-25% which corresponds to a 1-1.5% change in overall engine efficiency and thus fuel mileage. So, whenever I see a claim of more than 2% better fuel mileage due to changing to some magic elixir oil, I know the claims are bogus. x-engineer.org/automotive-engineering/internal-combustion-engines/performance/mechanical-efficiency-friction-mean-effective-pressure-fmep/
Vegetable oil vs. bacon grease. The smell coming from your shop would be awesome!
Thank you for this recommendation.
Todd- Keep up the good work my friend. You don't need to explain to people what you do. I feel you are doing the world a service with all the testing. I've learnt so much from your channel, and looking forward to what you come up with next.
Thanks so much!
Always appreciate your ingenuity and attention to detail when watching your videos. Thorough and meticulous and we all appreciate you!
I appreciate that!
The best engineering teams also do destructive testing. There is only one way to find somethings extreme.
Great point!
This is pure science. Anyone that says this is useless information is wrong. Keep it up Project Farm! I love your videos!
Thank you very much for the positive comment.
Kudos on the tests. Love the soundtrack choices, very appropriate.
Thanks so much!
Hey man! Keep doing what your doing. You do great tests. I always learn from your tests. Thanks!
Thanks, will do!
I hate seeing the engines destroyed but I think you should keep doing them.
You have the best videos in this class. I'd love to have a beer with you haha
Thank you!
Your tests are dispelling some really old myths. Good stuff! You should do an amsoil vs royal purple shootout! I know there are tons of guys that would love to see that one!
Thank you for this recommendation.
Amsoil is difficult to test under these kinds of conditions to reveal its major shortcomings. The two largest drawbacks to that brand is its longevity: base number and thermal breakdown. The base number of an oil is its alkalinity, which enables the oil to neutralize acids produced during operation that would otherwise corrode components. Despite being advertised as a 15000-25000-mile oil, the base number has been demonstrated to drop to zero by only *8000* miles, and even sooner under severe conditions. Any miles driven with that oil beyond that, and the engine is eating itself. The other disadvantage is that as the oil breaks down, the viscosity actually increases, as much as 50% at operating temperature by 10000 miles, so a 5w30 Amsoil will be similar to a 20w50 after only half of its advertised endurance.
Thank you very much for another unbiased testing of 2 oil additive products! I do appreciate how you went about the tests particularly how you independently tested the engines & the additives & seen how long it took until they failed. This is real life reality of what the truth is about these additives! And I was VERY surprised about the poor protection of ZMax! Their advertisements & claims are not genuine as far as I'm concerned! Thank you Sir.
P.S. What you do on your channel is a wonderful source of education & learning for the general public, especially young teenagers who are in their critical learning years!
Thanks for the feedback.
Exactly right and if you can get the young person to listen! - - - L 🤪 L - - - - 💥💨
I love these comparisons! Keep doing them for sure! It helps me decide what I want to use in my equipment.
Thank you very much!
Zmax uses ZDDF additive, which is zinc based, and not as effective as modern day nanolubricants, such as borate. With that said, I'm not surprised Lucas lasted longer seeing how the oil additive is way thicker than Zmax, and when drained leaves behind more oil residue for lubrication, than the thinner Zmax+oil. Great video and keep up the awesome work! I can't wait for the Archoil (potassium borate) based oil additive test. Finally don't worry about the haters, nothing is learned in science without destruction!
Great point and thanks for commenting.
I've recently watched nearly all of your videos and I have to say that your channel is VERY underrated and I'm confident you will soon get many new subscribers and gain popularity rapidly. Keep up the great work, greetings from Prague!
Greetings! Thank you very much for the positive comment!
Well, you were completely right. I wish I had the time and energy to make videos as well as him, but if people don't mind a lower production value, but great information, I do tests on some of these "snake oils" and I've found some things that have proven value as well.
Probably the best channel on TH-cam in this category.
Can't thank you enough for these informational videos!!!!! Hands down best channel ever!
Wow, thanks!
I love this channel I learn so much from it like ur latest video about the impact bits i figured a bit was a bit never thought they would make a difference but you proved that wrong and i absolutely love the amount of detail you go through in ur testing
Thank you very much!
Keep up the great vids. Don't be so polite, ZMax just had their ass handed to them. Keep going.
Hahaha…..
Yep....Zmax is pure shit...no need to mince words!
I thought Zmaz was a one time metal treatment and not a lubricant! Apples to Oranges for intended product purpose!
I understand the sentiment, but he should be polite.
The test results are a rude enough slap in the face.
Milton Moore He soaked a bearing in Zmax for 24 hrs and heat cycled it 10 times to test your proposal and it made no difference. The wear was the same. Zmax is useless, apples to apples.
You are the working man's keeper my friend. Thank you for helping us save on what we can and helping us avoid getting taken advantage off by these jerk companies.
Thank you for the feedback!
Enjoy your tests, typically well thought out and helpful. Thanks!
You are welcome!
This is like the third time I've watched this video and I feel like I still learned something new each time. Thank you for your hard work man!
Glad it was helpful!
I like the tests you're doing. I enjoy watching them thanks for making them.
Thank you!
Fill a crankcase with grease and see if and how long it will run.
Matthew add zerk fitting run 2 minutes then top off again
Thank you for this recommendation.
Put in Greece as it is running and see if you can put in enough to stall it or at least reduce engine speed you should also try what they call Corn head Grease and get it from your local John Deere dealer it's basically a real thin grease or a real heavy oil
You do great testing & i always enjoy watching them!👍
Thanks and you are welcome!
Excellent video!!! I really enjoy the teardown and inspection, that shows the real deal! I didn't realize you had a lubricity tester. That is the same concept I saw at the car dealership in 1989. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
This is one of my favorite channels on TH-cam! Great work as always!
Thank you!
Found you by looking for a thread lock comparison.
Seriously, one of the best channels for actually testing, real world. Subbed.
Thank you very much for the positive comment and thanks for subscribing.
As always, your amazing!!! Such a great job of testing products.
Thank you!
This guy responds better to criticism better than anyone on the internet. Keep it up sir, you're the best. We all thank you!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I love the unbiased testing.
It goes to show Lucas is doin' the trick!
The Zmax would do better if you added a bit of Lucas to it. LOL
Thanx again Bud! :D
LOL! Thanks for the positive comment!
You'd need a third engine with just straight oil. You'd be amazed at how long a small engine will go without oil.
DeadKoby he put an additive against normal oil without additives in two of his tests, this one
th-cam.com/video/VwePft315Ds/w-d-xo.html
and this one th-cam.com/video/m8ZKMCfAue4/w-d-xo.html
I already watched those.

More content from you a day early! Detonating these engines for the sake of understanding what works and doesn't work is not a waste at all! I love the fact you're donating these engines after the fact. Keep up the great work on these videos!! I can't give you enough compliments on the quality of your work and everyone you are educating!
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
Love your channel. Would really like to see a video on the differences between the 3 Lucas oil stabilizers (regular, synthetic, and high mileage). Keep up the great work!
Thank you, will do! Thanks for the video idea.
Always informative and helpful 👍.
Project Farm rocks as usual 😎
Thanks so much!
This is why I choose you to direct my Patreon to. We can actually see where it goes and benefit from it.
Thank you very much! It helps a lot. I have some pretty costly/expensive videos on the way soon.
And you strike again, such a kind soul. God bless you project farm, keep the good content coming!
Thank you very much!!
No problems destroying a new engine. It seriously hurts my feelings to see rare or antique engines destroyed for the sake of destruction. Even if its for knowledge.
You do lots of things that educate. And i learn a lot from your tests.
I respect the fact that you do your best to maintain the scientific method throughout every video you do.
Respect 100 percent.
Thanks so much!
destroyed all the time by ppl that cannot CHECK THE OIL BEFORE EACH RUN OF THE DAY!!!! and change the oil every 25 hours, more often under dusty conditions. i get mower engines to refurbish... first thing... check the oil... low or no oil in them??? WOW. FIRST THING... CHECK THE OIL!!!!! have oil on hand, stock up on qts when at wm, oil is oil, some is better than none. dont need MOBIL 1 synthetic for mower but if it is $3/qt sure why not. at $6/qt???? at $10/qt NO WAY. since oil will be replaced in 25 hours on small engine anyway. 15-40 diesel oil is good as any.
Why you blowing this guy?
I like the education I get from watching and listening to you
Thanks so much!
I really love your show. You give out great info and your tests are accurate. Keep it up.
Still waiting on the prolong test! :) And these are not a waste. The amount of money end users save by not buying a product that is junk adds up to make these projects worthwhile and worth every dime you spend. Keep up the good work and keep the awesome content coming!
mute8s Prolong makes a superior product. I buy my directly from the Prolong website. Because it's cheaper then Amazon plus they have FREE SHIPPING!
I've got some Prolong and I plan to test it soon. Thank you very much for the positive comment!
Jason B I had an engine that I had prolong in that should have seized multiple times but kept going strong so I would love to believe that it was because I put prolong in it. When he does the Prolong test depending on the results will have found my answer. Plus I've always hated recommending products to friends without seeing independent testing done like this.
mute8s Well use it in a 2010 Mack truck with Mack/Volvo 6 cyl. The in dash computer allows me to monitor dozens of operations of the vehicle. Like when a low friction additive is added to the oil. I can see the engine load go from 12% to 8% at low idle (650) or 4% at high idle (1000). I can watch the turbo pressure go up and down and etc. It's a fun way to test these products.
Project Farm Prolong vs Duralube! 😈 Wait how long do you want your video to last? 😕
This is one of the most informative presentations I have ever enjoyed. Thanks.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Love what you do Brother!!! Keep doing it!!!🤙
Thanks, will do!
Best testing on youtube as you go out of your way to be fair, and have no stake in the outcome. Must admit do cringe watching a fine new engine destroyed but it does prove the point, and I just hope the schools can get some connecting rods and other needed parts to get those destroyed engines back to usable ones, perhaps Predator would work out a advertising deal w/them? 'Look what was done to the engine, and with just a few provided parts these students were able to get them running again" etc..
Thank you very much for the positive comment.
One of the best channels on youtube. Keep em coming! Great job!
Thank you very much for the positive comment.
very interesting! i appreciate that you did this. it really shows a lot about these products
Thanks!
I truly appreciate your efforts, I feel I have benifited greatly from your research. Thank you.
You are very welcome! Glad to hear!
Awesome engine stands! I find these videos very interesting. Long time watcher first time commenter.
Thank you very much for the positive comments and thanks for continuing to stay with the channel!
New sub here and I gotta say that I’m really impressed with the time you take to thoroughly test these products! Great job and I’m here to stay!
Thank you very much!
I like seeing your improvement over time
Thanks!
You make great videos. Relevant and well done. Good info.
Thanks so much!
I would like to see royal purple vs amsoil preformed in the same manner as this video. My guess it going to be royal purple, in fact i would go as far as to say royal purple will polish the bearings vs do any damage. Both are good oils and both will protect the engines in extreme conditions.
Thank you for this recommendation.
i am a diesel tech by trade and i have see countless people use lucas in there engines every oil changes and the damage it causes in the long run. i personally run 10w30 gtx in my engine. at 320k when the intake gasket started leaking coolant, i dissembled the top end and found no build up. goes to show its not just the oil but maintenance also. also another idea is 75w90 or rearend oil in general vs 10w30. see if the thicker oils causes more friction or if there is no change. its a idea
john hare I've heard some amazing stories about Amsoil being used in semi trucks. I think that would be an awesome comparison.
Jetmech0417 never heard of amsoil in a large diesel. I know of a guy that runs it in his 5.9 cummins and swears by it. But i agree that it would be a good comparison.
Project Farm See! (Nudge, nudge)
You do have to keep in mind some cars or motorcycle say not to use any adetives because the clutch is wet by the motor oil that would cause slippage or wear of the clutch
This is an excellent point. Thanks for commenting.
Lucas synthetic does say on the bottle to change the mixture in such instances as a motorcycle with a wet clutch. So it does show that you can use it in such situations without damage.
jaso ma
Good honest tests. Keep it up man!
Thank you!
Thanks for all your work and putting in your own money to educate us!
I appreciate that!
Man you put a lot of thought and work into these videos. Much appreciated!
Thank you very much for the positive comment.
I would love to see Marvel Mystery Oil in one of these tests
Thank you for this recommendation!
Marvel Mystery oil isn't meant to add lubricity or make your oil better. It is a cleaner that helps to prevent carbon buildup inside your engine.
marvel mystery oil is an excellent CLEANER much like seafoam. will not improve oil performance
Project Farm have you done anything with Marvel Mystery Oil yet? If you have I have missed it LOL
Serveck agreed it's a very good cleaner but doesn't really add any performance to the oil other than bringing the detergent package up a little bit you know?
If ever someone had a youtube channel that could ask for money, this is it. Fantastic work being done here, thank you.
Glad you enjoy it!
Love your channel.
Thank you for this test.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Lucus is the best oil additive! It shows in your dry engine tests! I use both!
Thank you
I've tested a lot of Lucas products if you'd like to take a look. :)
your tests are so consistent and so controlled i love them.
Thank you!
Dearest Farm Boy: You handle constructive criticism with admirable grace and humility! I'm so impressed with how you listen to - and actually implement - viewer suggestions. Your openness to new ideas (plus your innate creativity, charm, and work ethic) has resulted in videos that keep improving in a quality arc over the years. They're an addictive joy to watch.
As for my two cents...keep the charts coming and don't be stingy with the awesome drone footage, The Farmabago, and your Manne-cousins : )
Wishing you all the best for years to come xoxo
Thanks!
Great test showing what I thought was true. You rock brother. Love this channel.
Thank you!
Yay a new video!!!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
Testing to destruction is both necessary and valuable....keep up the great vid's.
Thank you very much for the positive comment.
Extremely informative. Thank you. You helped put many minds at ease.
Great video, one of my favorite channels
Thanks!
Have you done a video of Regular Lucas Vs Synthetic? I know you have new ways to test them. I would like to see the difference. Thank you sir!
another fantastic video. ur a legend!
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
You are the best better than consumer reports keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
This was the best test you have done. Although your other test have been excellent. I have used Lucas in an engine that knocked and the knocking went away. Great job 👍🏻
Thank you!
Finally got around to seeing this vid. Great work.
Love how u take advice from knowledgeable viewers & we all learn from each other rather than being rude like so many ppl can b. U set a great example in so many ways.
U deserve millions of subs & every 1 is some1 u r informing on product quality. Big fan. I recommend u every chance I get.
Thank you for the feedback!
You did a great job. No changes necessary.
Thank you for the positive comment.
I love your videos. Very well done. Very helpful useful information. Thank you many times over.
Thank you very much!
Its cool to watch a garage test and so well done. LOTS to learn and compare, and conversations started. I watch all of them, and may never come into play for me, but watch and learn.
Thanks for watching!
Battle of the labels - most expensive name brand non-synthetic oil vs cheapest generic white bottle with the word OIL on the side in black letters.
Thank you for this recommendation.
I like this idea. Theoretically, assuming they meet standards, both oils should perform comparably.
Yes good one. Always wondered about those dollar store engine oils
Project Farm If you do this PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, make Amsoil one of the contenders!
This is one that NEEDS to be done!
Loved these videos! It would be nice to see some royal purple, i heard some good stories and some horror stories.
Back a few years ago in college, we managed to get a Briggs intek for some experiments on how to increase rpm stock.
First it revved to about 5-5500rpms, then we removed the spark arrestor on the exhaust, then air box, filters, slowly getting it higher and higher, the breaking point was when I think we used some bigger valve springs, I swear to god the tachometer showed 8200rpms just by removing all restrictions. The connecting rod let go and later found that it had failed due to lack of lubrication, not of stress. I'm surprise the flywheel didn't go!
I'll find the video some day.
Greetings from Canada.
Greetings and thank you for this recommendation.
Thank you for what you do. Please do what makes you happy and test what you want in the way you want.. Ill keep watching.
You are welcome!
holy shit this was 3 years ago??? damn this channel has changed and grown so much since then, i remember when this vid came out! super cool to see how far you’ve come! best channel on youtube
Thanks!
Marvel mystery oil vs Motorkote...you rock man .!!!..keep up the awesome videos...!!!
Thank you for this recommendation and thanks for the positive comment.
Motorkote VS Prolong
Marvel has a fairly low flash point at around 250-270 degrees fahrenheit if I remember off the top of my head.
I know marvel is legendary stuff and I faithfully use it but it is so hard to find actual date or proof of the claims..!!!
Would love to see a amsoil vs conventional vs Mobil 1
Thank you for this recommendation.
I've been an Amsoil user and dealer since 1975 for my own personal use not to selll it and I swear by it. I too would like to see comparative testing against other top tier synthetics. 👍
definitely interested in this test... awesome videos thanks again for everything you do
Amsoil Royal Purple or Redline would destroy Mobile 1 in just about any test. The exception being European formula Mobile 1 such as their 0w40. The reason is that Mobile 1 isn't a real synthetic oil! It's hydrocracked dino oil. The Euro spec stuff is group 4 synthetic. It's not bad oil, but it's not what their marketing would have you believe.
I would like to See Amsoil, Mobil 1, and Royal purple as well. I've been considering upgrading to Amsoil from Mobil 1 in my Charger.
