Just go ahead and bounce that troll! Bar his ass if he intends to ruin your channel! I belong to a great channel and our mods take and eat them trolls alive almost daily. Our mods bans them immediately for spreading lies and even if there is the slightest amount of misbehavior, they are gone in about 2 seconds flat!!! It's your channel, you're the boss, period!!
I listened to you and took your advice. So glad I did. My 18 Highlander has never run better! I also use MMO with it like you said and I immediately could tell the difference. So smooth. Thanks for all your videos.
I only use Valvoline products in my fleet,both diesel and gas engines. Never had an oil related problem in any of them. Started using their oils back in the late 80's when Valvoline/Suzuki had race bikes.
I am a huge fan of Amsoil! Everything I use on my Cobra is Amsoil, except for motor oil. That stuff is just too expensive to be changing out every 3k miles when Pennzoil ultra is just as good for a much lower cost.
I've been just running liquimoly at like 4k intervals on e40, Gotta get it tested though and see how it is doing. Heard the valvoline is really good as well with their hths and noack levels
I don't have the money you do so i change it every 20k .oil filter ever 10k. Amsoil Sinature series. have been doing it ever since my cars were new now coming up on 70k.
@@mofoco1971 I assume you are only keeping the car until 100k miles and then selling it? Otherwise cheaping out on oil changes is a good way to open yourself up to problems down the road. Oil changes every 20k is crazy. That means your vehicle has only seen 3 oil changes in 70k miles and will only see 5 oil changes at 100k miles. I just hope you're honest to the person you sell this vehicle to in the future, hopefully saving ~$120 a year on oil changes doesn't cost someone struggling several thousands in motor repair.
I shop online, I don't usually go to Walmart all the time. Remember I let the professionals be professionals, whether they get paid or not. You are doing it for us. Thank you. My oil change is coming up so having these numbers is good. I might test an unused oil but not in the cards right now.
LOL, funny how you put the lab results up there and they are independent, you pay money for them to test the oils and the Trolls still post their stupidity.... Personally I paid attention to the results of the testing and yep, Penzoil Platinum is what I will Run in my vehicles because of informed decisions. Thanks for keeping it real Rich!!!!!
They dont have Pennzoil Ultra Platinum at my Walmart. I generally go to Advance Auto to get it and its not $24 there, typically its around $32or $34. One thing, Advance Auto sometimes will run a deal where they throw in the oil filter if you buy 2 five quart jugs of Pennzoil Ultra. Since my F150 takes 7 quarts, when they run this deal I purchase 2 jugs and they throw in the filter of my choice which always is Purolater Boss. By the way, I chose the Ultra and the Boss filter based on videos and recommendations you made. Thanks for the good work!
Ultra Platinum hasn't been $24 in over a year... it's now $32 on Walmart's website. Thank ProjectFarm for causing the demand to skyrocket for Ultra Platinum and ruining it for everyone. Used to be able to get three pack of 5 quart jugs for $72 just a few years ago.
@@cup_and_cone The 3-pack of 5w-30 is available for $71.36 with subscribe & save, probably about as good as you'll get, but amazon isn't one of the vendors that qualifies for the pennzoil $20 rebate.
@@andrewdonohue1853 i started using supertech synthetic and cheapo fram filters in my 07 camry. i bought a blend by accident. can i use that? can i separate that and put it in quarts and add oil to this oil burner? 0w20 and 5w20.
I can’t find Pennzoil ultra platinum at any stores in central Florida. After watching you and project farm test this stuff - next to coffee - it’s liquid gold. I order the oil online through Walmart. Appreciate your knowledge and honesty.
As someone who has ran the Pennzoil High mileage platinum synthetic in my '02 camry(2AZ-FE engine) Since I bought it in 2020 w/190k mi (now at 243k mi.), I agree: the High mileage synthetic from Valvoline is also an excellent choice. The one time ran it instead of the pennzoil, It made my engine run smoother & quieter. I'm interested to see how it responds when I start running the restore & protect next time I change the oil, and run that for the next 4 change intervals(3k-5k mi.). If the high mileage synthetic was any indication, I'm very hopeful that the restore & protect will deliver at least some positive results. It's worth a try. Thanks for all the videos! I've found them to be extremely helpful!
For my Mercedes, I use Mobil1 full synthetic for European Vehicles. I change it with a new OEM filter every 6 months or 5000 miles instead of the 12 month or 10000 mile recommended cycle from MB. I love your channel and trust what you say because you have demonstrated over and over again throughout the years that you are a person of integrity! Many blessings, Rich! Don't let the "no it all" trolls get to you. Keep being you and thanks again for another great vid.
@@datsuntoyy Most euro vehicles have a preferred weight based on weather in my experience! You can usually find the manufacturer information online pretty easily. As long as the proper oil is used, the engine will usually be pretty happy ☺️
I love Valvoline, I’ve been running their Max Life synth blend for years in my Crown Vics. It’s a good product. Fun fact, when Valvoline was testing their max life oil in the early 2000’s, they tested it on a fleet of in service Crown Vic cop cars and found it improved fuel economy and reduced oil consumption in the fleet of cop cars. Great info here sir.
You're right, Penzoil Ultra Platinum is not commonly found in Walmarts. With that price and it being available at Walmart, he must be referring to Penzoil Platinum, which is still a good oil. I personally use high mileage kind.
Yeah I've never seen Ultra Platinum for sale on a Walmart shelf, but the regular Platinum is about 24 bucks. The clown who made that comment can't read the product he buys.
Trolls are a part of the YT game. You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t. I will say that your channel is one of the best when it comes to no BS findings and testing of oil products. Heck- I followed your suggestion on using Pennzoil Platinum series oils (the Platinum Plus High Mileage for me, as I can’t find the Ultra Platinum and I’m not running high horsepower to require the latter oil), and I haven’t looked back. My Boomer-era dad hates me for it though, as he’s one of those luddites who still believes that old sludge myth. lol Keep up the good work! 👍
Pennzoil ultra is sometimes harder to get at my local Walmart’s and I’ve noticed it more since covid. I’ve been using it for over 10 years and I’ve used it in Chryslers GEMA 4 cylinder engines with success well for over 100k on both motors. I took that advisement from a guy like you at my local Chrysler dealership Rich. I built a nice vehicle maintenance partnership out of that. He’s much younger than I and he knows his stuff and I very much appreciate him for that and answering my questions as a consumer. It makes me a better consumer and care taker of my vehicles which I’ve had success with. People you’ve got be open minded to new things that come along. I’m over 50 and things have changed a lot in my lifetime and I embrace everything I can learn especially in vehicle technology and the lubricants that go in them. I’m for getting the most knowledge I can about it and this guy is one of those people l! 👍👍😊
@@fubartotale3389 Most Advance Auto Parts stores carry it, but it's laughably expensive (over $40 for a 5 quart). I have NEVER seen it in Walmart stores, only on Walmart website for delivery.
Valvoline is top for me & Pennzoil ultra is a very close second. I can’t say anything about redline because I’ve never ran it in my engine. I trust you when it comes to oils. I would like to see you do gas tests (like ethanol testing) next, like different brands every time you get fuel for your vehicles. Love you brother
The problem with testing gasoline is that it is not consistent across the U.S. The gas formulation depends upon the local stations' gasoline source and local air quality standards. Where I live you cannot get gasoline with an octane rating over 90, and all gasoline has ethanol in it to meet local air quality standards. If Rich tested gasoline, the results would only be applicable to the area in which he lives.
Have a friend that works for shell specifically pennzoil division, the reason pennzoil ultra platinum is not in stores is because it’s an enthusiast grade product so the average Joe wouldn’t be specifically looking for it as such theres no reason to sell in store but rather through e-commerce.
Valvoline synthetic oil is excellent, and I use it in my small engines--keeps them very happy for a long time, even running them hard in the middle of summer. I use Quaker State full synthetic in my vehicles; it gets changed frequently enough that almost any oil would probably be fine, and used oil analysis has indicated that it holds up well for my use. (I normally change it at 5k intervals, but UOA done after 7k miles said that 10k would be safe. However, that's a bit too much for me. I've got nearly 350,000 miles on an old Ford 4.2L V6, so I'll keep on keeping on....)
I made the switch from Pennzoil Platinum Ultra to Mobil1 High mileage and have been pleased, but when i change the trucks oils this Fall, i may try the restore and protect
Been using AMSOIL for years the highest mileage I go is 7000. Tried once 18,000 miles on 2004 Silverado I should’ve sent the oil in but you could tell it was overdue. The only reason I stick with AMSOIL is I’m not paying GM for Dexos oil
Keepin' it real. Had the Penzoil Ultra been on the shelf when you did that video you would have reminded your viewers that was your go to oil and why. Since it wasn't there...end of story. Those of us who keep up know that you have sung the praises of Penzoil Ultra often in prior videos. Trolls...there's a reason they live under bridges. Be blessed...keep on keepin' it real.
I’ve used Pennzoil ultra platinum for many years. I got it off Amazon. With a WIX Xp filter on my 99 MGM and it runs mint. But I’ve spoken with you about it before. Thank you for what you do sir!
The very last thing I would think of is Rich lying to any of his fans and subscribers .I have been a subscriber and a strong supporter of The Ford Boss Me Channel a long long time .Rich is a honest straight up guy he tells it like it is and people like that are very hard to find .I am positive that if I had a problem with any of my vehicles all I need to do is drop Rich an email and when Rich looked at his email he would shoot me an email asking how he could help me with my problem, THIS is the type of guy he is ,good to the bone .I am one of the fans that only watch his videos when I have the time to watch the whole thing and when I do watch the first thing that I do is hit the thumbs up symbol so that I do not forget after watching and listening carefully to his videos the content gets me thinking and in deep thought .I am a retired auto body specialist with many many years of doing mechanical repairs and diagnostic work .My wife and I bought land and had a beautiful forever home built in the woods out away from any towns or cities this is a very time consuming thing that we have done and also mind blowing along with an enormous amount of stress, so I do stay too busy to be able to watch TH-cam or even TV when I do get time I have to play catch up with my favorite TH-cam channel and it's FordBoss Me, in my opinion the best automotive repair channel on the internet.

Hello Rich: It's a dam shame that you feel compelled to make a COVER YOUR ASS VIDEO. I'm going on my 63RD year of working on vehicles & I have learned from you on many occasions & it's always worked out. I personally find you of the highest integrity possible in this WHORE BUSINESS. In your new GM position you do require more experience but my friend you can't learn that in a book or in a seminar. Your demographic/ geographic area dictates how you greet, listen to, interact, & assist your customer base. I went to some automotive management seminars that I paid for out of my pocket ( tax deductible) but you must watch out what software programs there trying to hustle. Some seminars were ok while others were a total waste of my time & money. Rich, you have my support & backing if needed & Don't worry about the mental migits. God Bless & my best to the family, TMP from N.J.
my last oil change I used Valvoline high mileage full synthetic 5l jug 36$ Cad, now its 55$ or 59$ so I am using Pennzoil high mileage platinum full synthetic which I got for 37$ at canadian tire on sale these are both great oils and as a mechanic I would endorse either one because I trust their product, this guy really has a stiffy for Pennzoil lol
Don't forget Lake Speed Jr. is a paid actor who likes the Ultra Platinum too. And we all know he doesn't know ANYTHING about oil or oil chemistry. Probably claims he's a tribologist or some made up name too. HA!!! 😎
Pennzoil ultra is my go to oil. Based on independent tests I've seen from others, it truly is the best bang for your buck for motor oil. You saying how great it is, just further confirms what I know to be true. I buy it from Walmart online because, as you said, they never have it in stores. They have the Platinum, but never the Ultra. Pennzoil, if you're reading this, change the Platinum Ultra design color to something else like silver or black. They're hard to tell at a glance and I've gotten the wrong oil shipped once - I assume cause they look so much alike.
I have an SRT engine. I used Penzzoil Ultra Platinum for the first 36K. I switched to Amsoil Signature, both great oils, but at the track I use Redline easter core.
I don't drive my cars hard so for me any brand of manufacturer recommended viscosity oil with a quality filter, both changed at 3,000 - 4,000 miles, has never failed me - and I tend to keep most of my cars for decades. Here in the rust belt of Michigan the body on my cars has always failed well before the engines.
Hello FordBossMe, Here's my response to this video. Which is about your Walmart video in the motor oil aisle which was the first video I watched from FordBossMe. This video is the second one for me. I grew up in a small farm community in a plains state. I worked for my father who was a Mobil Oil Jobber for at least 45 years. He had many stories from back in the early days. I would share but have to decline because it's Utube. I remember when Mobil One came out in 1974, and my dad was very happy about it, he believed in Mobil. We put the new Mobil One in his new 1974 Ford LTD 390 cu inch and the oil went right through the engine because engines weren't designed for synthetic oil yet. Yes, he went back to conventional oil in that LTD. But I have used Mobil One for a very long time and used it in my 2010 Ford Escape V6 when I bought it new in 2009 and of course it was great. I still own the 2010 & switched to Pennzoil some years into ownership because the source of their Ultra Platinum was Natural Gas. I wanted to experience it and run Pennzoil for a few years and it became the permanent oil. I didn't like giving up on Mobil One, it was a family tradition as are Fords. But when you know you've found a better oil at a better price, the switch has already been made. Now I run Pennzoil Ultra Platinum synthetic in the other vehicles too. You're right I don't know you or your channel but your video with you in Wallymart came up for me to view and I decided to watch it. So, you call me out and call me a troll, an idiot as well. I hope calling me names makes you feel better about yourself Ford Boss Me. Questions! I asked you if you've received free products but you didn't answer the question. I didn't say you were paid and I didn't say you were getting free stuff from Valvoline. I asked you and you didn't answer but you instead stated that I said you were being paid. Read my comment post again, please. Read every word, please, and don't skip over any words. I asked you two questions but you skipped from answering both. But of course, if your answer is 'No' to the first question then the second question is irrelevant. I also stated you weren't being honest because you left Pennzoil Ultra Platinum out of the complete comparison and in pricing. You now state you're not able to buy Pennzoil Ultra Platinum at your Walmart. Have you investigated why you can't buy it at Walmart? Maybe it's just so popular that Walmart has a hard time keeping it on their shelves. I too have found issues at times of low numbers of Pennzoil Ultra on Walmart shelves for sale. I've ordered from walmart.com and also purchased from a local Walmart for the same pricing. Free shipping when I've ordered a couple 5-quart bottles. But I live in a suburb of a major large city and that might make a difference in my options to purchase it. I keep a stock of Ultra Platinum Pennzoil, (doing that is in my blood I guess) so changing oil can be done on a whim. My father always told us, that oil is cheap. Rebuilding an engine isn't. And of course, using full synthetic oil is cheap compared to any engine work. Example: My oldest son had his car's engine oil cap come off and all the oil in his car's engine was shot out of the engine without his knowledge. Eventually, his engine started to make a lot of noise with his car making chugging sensations that brought the car to a halt. I brought him oil on the side of the road and he was off running again. Fast forward 7 or 8 years later he still owns the vehicle, engine runs fine. Synthetic oil will save your engine whereas conventional will not in these instances (use synthetic). We will always use synthetic oil for reasons like this. (Of course, new engines require it now.) My son was using Mobile One at the time. Take care, life gets tough, especially at your age and with family requirements (of love). Oh, almost forgot. This isn't the first time I've had an exchange conversation on a Valvoline comparison. Yes, they have good products but I've found that they are a pushy bunch, and like to dictate. It's my opinion, they have been that way for a long time. Maybe it's the way they structure business incentives. Makes me think of marketing systems that other corporations use that I also don't like. No, I don't buy their products.
When it comes to autos..... Rich speaks, I’m all ears. You see more vehicles in a year than I could build in a lifetime! Thanks for the recommendation on the Platinum Ultra. Building a square body K20 right now. It’s getting PPU
I can’t find Pennzoil Ultra Platinum at Walmart, and the places that do have it are prohibitively expensive . But I can find Valvoline Extended oil …… I’m very happy 😊 .
None of the Wal Marts around me has Pennzoil Ultra on their shelves! I can however get on line and buy it and have it sent to me if i order $35 worth of oil.
Nothing against Pennzoil I've been using vavloline since 1969 in all my car's and trucks and all had over 350.000 on them I change oil at 4.000 miles and use 5w30 on the f150 thanks for sharing your thoughts this thumbs up 👍👍
Don’t sweat it… people are NUTS. Social media really pulled the curtain back for me - I used to think most people were reasonable rational thinking folks; boy was I naïve!! BTW, no ultra in the Greenwood SC Walmarts either. Ordered from Amazon.
I don't really sweat it but I use these moments to teach other people about this type of stuff so I could educate the masses and then maybe it will deter other people from acting stupid and every once in a while I'm able to identify these people and then put them in their place
Thank you for your honest reviews and feedback! We love your content would love to send you a token of our gratitude! Please send us a message on any of our socials when you get a chance!
This statement is quite comical! Rich just finished saying he is not sponsored by Valvoline or anyone else and you go and post that statement. He has no interest is any of your TOKENS of gratitude! He probably appreciates your acknowledgement of his work and that's as far as it goes.
I know someone who works for a testing lab. They routinely test many different motor oils. He says Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is always among the best. I have a 2018 Mustang GT, 5.0 V8. My car has an extended Ford warranty. I would prefer to use Pennzoil, but I have the Ford dealer change oil every 5,000 miles, 5w-30 full synthetic Motorcraft. I’m confident that my engine is in good shape. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work. 🤠
Me personally I don't run after the best high top / most expensive oils existent no matter where I buy it from ... I buy a good quality oil filter and a gallon oil ( 5k miles ) and change it at 3k ( sometimes earlier) . Each one buys what can afford but in my opinion the secret is to keep maintenance and fluids up to date and topped off, I will never feel comfortable doing oil changes longer than 3k miles even buying expensive oil . I'm not a professional by any means, I'm just a diy'er and never had any issues. Sub'ed 👌
yup it really just comes down to changing it on time. Not going these dealer recommended intervals like 10k+ , just decent full syn oil every 5k /6mo or sooner. 3k is overkill if the car is a daily imo, only if you're driving in harsh conditions like super hot or cold or dusty or if you do a lot of short trips without getting engine fully warmed up.
Don't forget, some people attribute their own biases and tendency to 'use the truth recklessly" to everyone, just smile and move on, they are not worth the grey hair.
I live in Oregon, and I went to three different stores and no one had platinum ultra and a couple of the auto parts guys didn’t even know what it was. Lol. So I ordered it off Amazon and something happened and they fucked the order up but lucky enough I finally found an advanced auto parts store that carries Pennzoil ultra platinum. I am using it in my brand new 2023 Toyota Tacoma, but I don’t know if it’s in my head but the truck almost sounds like it’s louder when it’s idling with the Pennzoil ultra platinum as opposed to the mobile one. Which I watched several videos were mobile one is getting its ass kicked.
I am with you on Penzzoil /Redline view. I did use Amsoil, also have nothing agaist it, but I just did treated it as regular oil, meaning under 5k intervals. There is no way I will leave oil in the engine for 20k miles. Not even going to dispute that with anyone - my car - my rules. At the end I wound with using RedLine in all of my cars. Up-ahead I agree that Penzzoil platinum is really really good oil. What I do not like, and it is personal, more about how gears turning in my head, not trying to covince anyone but I strongly disagree with "synthetic" lable. I.e. you take a organic product, derived frim Earth, do whatever manipulations with it and call it synthetic all of a sudden? I mean, vodka is gas-to-liquid, right? But we do not call that synthetic. Ice changed its state from liquid, did not suddenly become sythetic. Anyway... RedLine is kida expensive VS the rest but having a chouce: 1) Penzzoil ultra platium is really good oil, reasonably priced but with little taste of BS that it is synthetic 2) RedLine which is more expencive but pretty much the best money can buy. I choose #2 i.e. spend more money and give my business to people who are not only make excellent product but also honest. Thank God I can afford that.
I want to let you know I really appreciate your videos! I do have a question on what you think about Valvoline vs Amsoil specialty hybrid oils? Or do you think I should use Pennzoil Ulta Platinum in my 2024 Ford Maverick hybrid, and not worry about using one of those oils formulated for hybrid running conditions?
@@jamesgullo8240 Toyota says 10k miles, I bought a one owner car with 140k miles and they used 10k mile oil change but so far no oil consumption thankfully. Gonna run Pennzoil ultra platinum with 5k interval from now on
My company uses Valvoline because it is the BEST oil for the dollar. I use Pennzoil because I am willing to pay more to get the best. Valvoline 0w20 Maxlife High Mileage oil change is 1/2 the price of a Pennzoil oil change.
After testing Both Pennzoil platinum series. : Ultra ; Pros; More Boron and ester = More antiwear aditives for extreme performance. Cons: higher level of oxidation, about 10.7 Good for high performance engines but not for long oil change intervals . Regular Platinum level of oxidation is about 3.6 Less extreme performance but longer excellent quality protection for most driving conditions.
I've said it before on here....I've been using Valvoline synpower is every vehicle I own for over 20 years. I run everything to 200k+ miles. So many are stuck on the mobile1 bs. Valvoline has been around longer than anyone else.
Oh man, Ford Boss on the take,LOL, that is just too funny, the guy needs to put the crack pipe down and pay attention, I would use the Penn Ultra but it is too hard to get here at a good price, I have been running QS hi mile full syn or Harvest King full syn from Atwoods ( an East Texas West Louisiana Farm and Ranch store like Tractor Supply the HK oil was 19.99 for a 5qt jug and the QS at my Wal-mart is $ 5. 78 a quart I think. But at 5000 miles it gets changed pushing 400k on my truck and went from 5w-20 to 5w-30 at around 150k miles. If I ever find Penn Ultra at good price I will give it try, I am shooting to get 1 million miles out of my truck. Keep up the good posts and videos.
I do not have access to Pennzoil Ultra Platnium here in Sweden. Valvoline is here but I haven't run my cars on it. I have driven Mobil 1 in several cars. I have been happy with Mobil and Castroil. But now in the last few years I have only driven on Motul 8100 X-Clean EFE. It is 100% synthetic which is better not more expensive than Mobil or Castroil here. Now prices have skyrocketed here after the pandemic. Now Motul 100% synthetic is very expensive here. I have made the mistake of running on a cheaper engine oil in a tuned car and changing more often. The whole engine oxidized again on that car. it cost me approximately 1900 dollars in 2005 in dollars. 1900 dollars in 2005 was a lot of money back then. I was looking for other faults on the car all of a sudden it was like the crankshaft went straight off. The starter motor all turned but it was as if the pistons were not moving. I had to leave it at the workshop, it took time before they found the fault. The filter for the crankcase ventilation had completely oxidized. Had to grind the vemtiler pipe and tear the whole engine, it cost me 1900 dollars calculated in 2005. I could have bought a lot of oil for $1900 back then. Bought oil for it yet. Therefore, I dare not take any more chances and want a very good oil. Motul is big on oil very big on motorcycles and racing. So I'm running on that right now. The only thing I can think of to change from the one I'm running now is the Pennzoil Ultra Platnium. But it is not here. I could also have imagined Amsoil, but it is not available here either. Then importing from the USA in small batches is not worthwhile either. I checked the shipping from Ebay on 4 pieces 1 gallon cans of oil it was over 300 dollars in just shipping. Then tax and fees on top of that too. So I aim for my Motul. From what I understand, Motul oil for cars is expensive and hard to get in the US? Two-stroke oil from Motul is used by many in the USA as well as oil for Motorcycle, Cross, ATV. But their engine oil for cars is hard and expensive to get hold of?
Hey , good day to you. Quick question. What’s your opinion on the NAPA full synthetic. I understand it’s made by Valvoline and when they have a sale , the price is amazing. A 5 quart jug for $19.99 just seems to good to pass up. Would the additive package in the NAPA be the same , or very similar at the very least. Also NAPA makes a great filter, gold or platinum. Thanks for any consideration. 😊
Valvoline is the oldest automotive oil on the market and has been in the industry for over 150 years. I hardly doubt VIOC is paying this guy for his circles of not the best knowledge. This is a preference war….. thank you all
You are correct you have always stated that Penn Ultra is preferred go to Oil, This Troll should know that you cannot buy Ultra at Walmart at least I have never seen it-You can order it online but not walk in and find it. I wished Pennzoil in the future would do a video with a tear down of an engine say around 100K miles just to see how good the Oil works-I am sure it would look new
Just googled the Penzoil platinum oil ultra (🇨🇦) came up $78.99 for 5L on Amazon! Yikes. I think our Walmarts have it way cheaper so I’m going to check it out today. I just did my oil change the other day was back home at my dads shop and had some ams oil leftover. Mom just sold her ‘14 f150 limited and my dad had some leftover motorcraft filters so he gave them to me so I’ll the penz and I’ll tell Valvoline I used theirs so uncle rich can still get that $krilla 😂
My local Walmart just started carrying the garage packs. I will probably start using the vavoline, I wish they had a 10/40 I would use in my can am, don’t think I’ve ever seen the ultra at my walmart
I've been using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum ever since Walmart and Tractor Supply stopped carrying Rotella Gas Truck oil. Never saw Ultra Platinum at Walmart. I've seen Platinum but not Ultra.
I'm very lucky, walmart always has the ultra platinum in my I've used many different oils over the many decades, and I find the Pennzoil ultra platinum is currently the best.
Thanks Rich. Yes the person is a troll and they can be annoying. Sure seems like the person has not watched any of your other oil videos. I like how you go into stores and see whats on the shelves. I do the same thing.😁 Pennzoil Platinum Ultra is some trick stuff. So many great oils to choose from these days. Thanks again for all your videos. 🫡
I switched to Pennzoil after watching your video, 2 of my coworkers did the same, and we all surprised noticeable differences, wow! What a difference, never thought it will make such a big difference, I thought I didn’t feel it right or only in my mind until I asked the other 2 coworkers, bought 12 jugs a few months ago when it is on sale, it is my go to oil now. Thank you for that❤
That's not the only difference also people notice better oil pressure and better resistance to noack volatility and it does not shear and break down as fast
Rich, you know the secret. Start with a known reliable engine. Change your oil 3-5K miles. That's it. All the techno speak is 95% marketing. They aren't lies, but it's not all that important. A few PPM more or less isn't going to blow your engine.
There are those who subscribe to channels like this to learn something new. Then there are the TH-cam mall police who subscribe to make themselves feel important. Sitting in their stained filthy recliners with a 6 pack of Bud Light on one side and a giant bowl of Cheetos on the other, It's a relentless quest for social media influence and dominance...😂 Keep up the good work Ford Boss Me!
Some of the older oils 40 years ago had what was called a paraffin based stock and it would wax up when it was cold but years later Pennzoil has what's called gas to liquid stock they use a gas and then they turn it into a liquid for purity
I have seen pennzoil ultra platinum at the walmart by me in south jersey but not that often and never $24 as far as price .... 😮 thanks again rich and screw the haters
Valvoline base oil is group 3+4, Pennzoil Platinum is group 5. The base oil matters more than the additive package, that's why it doesn't mean as much to put lots and lots of additives. Any platinum is great, the ultra just has more additives. You're right about redline as well. That one is also one of the true synthetics out there.
I use Valvoline full synthetic high mileage or Napa full synthetic high mileage (witch is produced for Napa by Valvoline btw) along with an oem or Napa filter every 3K or there abouts. But any good oil changed regularly is better than expensive oil with way too long intervals imo. I don't rely on my oil change monitor system in my car, I keep track of all of my maintenance the old fashioned way on pen and paper. I also send in oil samples every once in awhile just to make sure nothing is sneaking up on me.
I really like the PUP as well and I’ve used it in my 6.4 Hemi since new but I’m tired of having to go to the dealer every time for an oil change and paying through the nose so I switched to Castrol 0w40 European oil and the truck seems to like it just as well…I actually mixed it with some left over PUP I had laying around…truck runs fine!..my truck has close to 70k on it and I change my oil about every 5000 miles…hopefully I never get the Hemi tick 🤦🏻♂️
Just want all the Oil Companies unlike Ford Boss, I can be bought! I’m a Pennzoil Platinum guy, but slip me $10,000.00 I would swear I changed! My morales are on par with a Lawyer,,,,,,,,,,, or a New Raptor or Bronco! My 2.7 F150 holds 6 quarts and I get 5 quarts for around $25.00 and then that 1 quart I pay around $10.00, I know I should buy 2 jugs but I’m poor.
It's definitely a decent oil but it's not really that great overall I would probably go up to something like Valvoline Advanced or Valvoline extended protection
We have a good number of great motor oils to choose from. Walmart, for the most part, does not carry the stuff I prefer. I end up ordering what I need. For my vintage HP cars I use Valvoline VR1. Full disclosure Dad had one job post college, ASHLAND oil, Valvoline parent company. But if it was not a great oil...I'd use something else. Thanks

I only use Valvoline products in my fleet,both diesel and gas engines. Never had an oil related problem in any of them. Started using their oils back in the late 80's when Valvoline/Suzuki had race bikes.
Congrats on being successful enough to have trolls who take time out of their day to give you crap!
The Amsoil has held up pretty darn good for 5k intervals with Motorcraft filters even with E85. Signature series that is. At least for me.
I am a huge fan of Amsoil! Everything I use on my Cobra is Amsoil, except for motor oil. That stuff is just too expensive to be changing out every 3k miles when Pennzoil ultra is just as good for a much lower cost.
I've been just running liquimoly at like 4k intervals on e40, Gotta get it tested though and see how it is doing. Heard the valvoline is really good as well with their hths and noack levels
I don't have the money you do so i change it every 20k .oil filter ever 10k. Amsoil Sinature series. have been doing it ever since my cars were new now coming up on 70k.
@@mofoco1971 I assume you are only keeping the car until 100k miles and then selling it? Otherwise cheaping out on oil changes is a good way to open yourself up to problems down the road. Oil changes every 20k is crazy. That means your vehicle has only seen 3 oil changes in 70k miles and will only see 5 oil changes at 100k miles. I just hope you're honest to the person you sell this vehicle to in the future, hopefully saving ~$120 a year on oil changes doesn't cost someone struggling several thousands in motor repair.

LOL, funny how you put the lab results up there and they are independent, you pay money for them to test the oils and the Trolls still post their stupidity.... Personally I paid attention to the results of the testing and yep, Penzoil Platinum is what I will Run in my vehicles because of informed decisions. Thanks for keeping it real Rich!!!!!
They dont have Pennzoil Ultra Platinum at my Walmart. I generally go to Advance Auto to get it and its not $24 there, typically its around $32or $34. One thing, Advance Auto sometimes will run a deal where they throw in the oil filter if you buy 2 five quart jugs of Pennzoil Ultra. Since my F150 takes 7 quarts, when they run this deal I purchase 2 jugs and they throw in the filter of my choice which always is Purolater Boss. By the way, I chose the Ultra and the Boss filter based on videos and recommendations you made. Thanks for the good work!
Ultra Platinum hasn't been $24 in over a year... it's now $32 on Walmart's website. Thank ProjectFarm for causing the demand to skyrocket for Ultra Platinum and ruining it for everyone. Used to be able to get three pack of 5 quart jugs for $72 just a few years ago.
@@cup_and_cone The 3-pack of 5w-30 is available for $71.36 with subscribe & save, probably about as good as you'll get, but amazon isn't one of the vendors that qualifies for the pennzoil $20 rebate.

Beautiful
As someone who has ran the Pennzoil High mileage platinum synthetic in my '02 camry(2AZ-FE engine) Since I bought it in 2020 w/190k mi (now at 243k mi.), I agree: the High mileage synthetic from Valvoline is also an excellent choice. The one time ran it instead of the pennzoil, It made my engine run smoother & quieter. I'm interested to see how it responds when I start running the restore & protect next time I change the oil, and run that for the next 4 change intervals(3k-5k mi.). If the high mileage synthetic was any indication, I'm very hopeful that the restore & protect will deliver at least some positive results. It's worth a try. Thanks for all the videos! I've found them to be extremely helpful!
For my Mercedes, I use Mobil1 full synthetic for European Vehicles. I change it with a new OEM filter every 6 months or 5000 miles instead of the 12 month or 10000 mile recommended cycle from MB.
I love your channel and trust what you say because you have demonstrated over and over again throughout the years that you are a person of integrity! Many blessings, Rich! Don't let the "no it all" trolls get to you. Keep being you and thanks again for another great vid.

@@datsuntoyy Most euro vehicles have a preferred weight based on weather in my experience! You can usually find the manufacturer information online pretty easily. As long as the proper oil is used, the engine will usually be pretty happy ☺️
I'm not getting paid by Valvoline, so i'll say it Valvoline is the best and the ONLY oil that will go in my vehicles!!!!
I also look at it as any oil brand is better than not changing it at all.
I love Valvoline, I’ve been running their Max Life synth blend for years in my Crown Vics. It’s a good product. Fun fact, when Valvoline was testing their max life oil in the early 2000’s, they tested it on a fleet of in service Crown Vic cop cars and found it improved fuel economy and reduced oil consumption in the fleet of cop cars. Great info here sir.
You're right, Penzoil Ultra Platinum is not commonly found in Walmarts. With that price and it being available at Walmart, he must be referring to Penzoil Platinum, which is still a good oil. I personally use high mileage kind.
Yeah I've never seen Ultra Platinum for sale on a Walmart shelf, but the regular Platinum is about 24 bucks. The clown who made that comment can't read the product he buys.
Trolls are a part of the YT game. You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t.
I will say that your channel is one of the best when it comes to no BS findings and testing of oil products.
Heck- I followed your suggestion on using Pennzoil Platinum series oils (the Platinum Plus High Mileage for me, as I can’t find the Ultra Platinum and I’m not running high horsepower to require the latter oil), and I haven’t looked back. My Boomer-era dad hates me for it though, as he’s one of those luddites who still believes that old sludge myth. lol
Keep up the good work! 👍
Pennzoil ultra is sometimes harder to get at my local Walmart’s and I’ve noticed it more since covid. I’ve been using it for over 10 years and I’ve used it in Chryslers GEMA 4 cylinder engines with success well for over 100k on both motors. I took that advisement from a guy like you at my local Chrysler dealership Rich. I built a nice vehicle maintenance partnership out of that. He’s much younger than I and he knows his stuff and I very much appreciate him for that and answering my questions as a consumer. It makes me a better consumer and care taker of my vehicles which I’ve had success with. People you’ve got be open minded to new things that come along. I’m over 50 and things have changed a lot in my lifetime and I embrace everything I can learn especially in vehicle technology and the lubricants that go in them. I’m for getting the most knowledge I can about it and this guy is one of those people l! 👍👍😊
I've never seen Ultra on the shelf at Walmart ever. It's only the website.
@@fubartotale3389 Most Advance Auto Parts stores carry it, but it's laughably expensive (over $40 for a 5 quart). I have NEVER seen it in Walmart stores, only on Walmart website for delivery.
Valvoline is top for me & Pennzoil ultra is a very close second. I can’t say anything about redline because I’ve never ran it in my engine. I trust you when it comes to oils. I would like to see you do gas tests (like ethanol testing) next, like different brands every time you get fuel for your vehicles. Love you brother
I second the gas testing
The problem with testing gasoline is that it is not consistent across the U.S. The gas formulation depends upon the local stations' gasoline source and local air quality standards. Where I live you cannot get gasoline with an octane rating over 90, and all gasoline has ethanol in it to meet local air quality standards. If Rich tested gasoline, the results would only be applicable to the area in which he lives.
@@buckhorncortez makes sense - you must live in CA then?
Valvoline, Mobil 1,Castrol all benefit from the addition of Oil Extreme Concentrate.
Dont go by 1 arm bandit testing.

Have a friend that works for shell specifically pennzoil division, the reason pennzoil ultra platinum is not in stores is because it’s an enthusiast grade product so the average Joe wouldn’t be specifically looking for it as such theres no reason to sell in store but rather through e-commerce.
Valvoline synthetic oil is excellent, and I use it in my small engines--keeps them very happy for a long time, even running them hard in the middle of summer. I use Quaker State full synthetic in my vehicles; it gets changed frequently enough that almost any oil would probably be fine, and used oil analysis has indicated that it holds up well for my use. (I normally change it at 5k intervals, but UOA done after 7k miles said that 10k would be safe. However, that's a bit too much for me. I've got nearly 350,000 miles on an old Ford 4.2L V6, so I'll keep on keeping on....)
I made the switch from Pennzoil Platinum Ultra to Mobil1 High mileage and have been pleased, but when i change the trucks oils this Fall, i may try the restore and protect
Been using AMSOIL for years the highest mileage I go is 7000. Tried once 18,000 miles on 2004 Silverado I should’ve sent the oil in but you could tell it was overdue. The only reason I stick with AMSOIL is I’m not paying GM for Dexos oil
Keepin' it real. Had the Penzoil Ultra been on the shelf when you did that video you would have reminded your viewers that was your go to oil and why. Since it wasn't there...end of story. Those of us who keep up know that you have sung the praises of Penzoil Ultra often in prior videos. Trolls...there's a reason they live under bridges. Be blessed...keep on keepin' it real.

Some seminars were ok while others were a total waste of my time & money. Rich, you have my support & backing if needed & Don't worry about the mental migits.

my last oil change I used Valvoline high mileage full synthetic 5l jug 36$ Cad, now its 55$ or 59$ so I am using Pennzoil high mileage platinum full synthetic which I got for 37$ at canadian tire on sale these are both great oils and as a mechanic I would endorse either one because I trust their product, this guy really has a stiffy for Pennzoil lol
Agreed! My '02 camry responded well to both high mileage synthetics: pennzoil platinum, or valvoline maxlife.
In NE Ohio, they have the Pennzoil Platinum, but it is likely popular since I rarely see more than 2 on the shelf.
Don't forget Lake Speed Jr. is a paid actor who likes the Ultra Platinum too. And we all know he doesn't know ANYTHING about oil or oil chemistry. Probably claims he's a tribologist or some made up name too. HA!!! 😎
Pennzoil ultra is my go to oil. Based on independent tests I've seen from others, it truly is the best bang for your buck for motor oil. You saying how great it is, just further confirms what I know to be true. I buy it from Walmart online because, as you said, they never have it in stores. They have the Platinum, but never the Ultra.
Pennzoil, if you're reading this, change the Platinum Ultra design color to something else like silver or black. They're hard to tell at a glance and I've gotten the wrong oil shipped once - I assume cause they look so much alike.
how does platinum stand up?
When I worked at dodge. All their vehicles came filled with pennzoil. And that's what they have in bulk too
I have an SRT engine. I used Penzzoil Ultra Platinum for the first 36K. I switched to Amsoil Signature, both great oils, but at the track I use Redline easter core.
How about try the oil to see how it performs in your vehicle. Also, He has provided tests to demonstrate and backup his opinions.
I don't drive my cars hard so for me any brand of manufacturer recommended viscosity oil with a quality filter, both changed at 3,000 - 4,000 miles, has never failed me - and I tend to keep most of my cars for decades. Here in the rust belt of Michigan the body on my cars has always failed well before the engines.
Hello FordBossMe,
Here's my response to this video. Which is about your Walmart video in the motor oil aisle which was the first video I watched from FordBossMe. This video is the second one for me.
I grew up in a small farm community in a plains state. I worked for my father who was a Mobil Oil Jobber for at least 45 years. He had many stories from back in the early days. I would share but have to decline because it's Utube. I remember when Mobil One came out in 1974, and my dad was very happy about it, he believed in Mobil. We put the new Mobil One in his new 1974 Ford LTD 390 cu inch and the oil went right through the engine because engines weren't designed for synthetic oil yet. Yes, he went back to conventional oil in that LTD. But I have used Mobil One for a very long time and used it in my 2010 Ford Escape V6 when I bought it new in 2009 and of course it was great. I still own the 2010 & switched to Pennzoil some years into ownership because the source of their Ultra Platinum was Natural Gas. I wanted to experience it and run Pennzoil for a few years and it became the permanent oil. I didn't like giving up on Mobil One, it was a family tradition as are Fords. But when you know you've found a better oil at a better price, the switch has already been made. Now I run Pennzoil Ultra Platinum synthetic in the other vehicles too.
You're right I don't know you or your channel but your video with you in Wallymart came up for me to view and I decided to watch it. So, you call me out and call me a troll, an idiot as well. I hope calling me names makes you feel better about yourself Ford Boss Me.
Questions! I asked you if you've received free products but you didn't answer the question. I didn't say you were paid and I didn't say you were getting free stuff from Valvoline. I asked you and you didn't answer but you instead stated that I said you were being paid. Read my comment post again, please. Read every word, please, and don't skip over any words. I asked you two questions but you skipped from answering both. But of course, if your answer is 'No' to the first question then the second question is irrelevant. I also stated you weren't being honest because you left Pennzoil Ultra Platinum out of the complete comparison and in pricing. You now state you're not able to buy Pennzoil Ultra Platinum at your Walmart. Have you investigated why you can't buy it at Walmart? Maybe it's just so popular that Walmart has a hard time keeping it on their shelves. I too have found issues at times of low numbers of Pennzoil Ultra on Walmart shelves for sale.
I've ordered from walmart.com and also purchased from a local Walmart for the same pricing. Free shipping when I've ordered a couple 5-quart bottles. But I live in a suburb of a major large city and that might make a difference in my options to purchase it. I keep a stock of Ultra Platinum Pennzoil, (doing that is in my blood I guess) so changing oil can be done on a whim. My father always told us, that oil is cheap. Rebuilding an engine isn't. And of course, using full synthetic oil is cheap compared to any engine work.
Example: My oldest son had his car's engine oil cap come off and all the oil in his car's engine was shot out of the engine without his knowledge. Eventually, his engine started to make a lot of noise with his car making chugging sensations that brought the car to a halt. I brought him oil on the side of the road and he was off running again. Fast forward 7 or 8 years later he still owns the vehicle, engine runs fine. Synthetic oil will save your engine whereas conventional will not in these instances (use synthetic). We will always use synthetic oil for reasons like this. (Of course, new engines require it now.) My son was using Mobile One at the time.
Take care, life gets tough, especially at your age and with family requirements (of love).
Oh, almost forgot. This isn't the first time I've had an exchange conversation on a Valvoline comparison. Yes, they have good products but I've found that they are a pushy bunch, and like to dictate. It's my opinion, they have been that way for a long time. Maybe it's the way they structure business incentives. Makes me think of marketing systems that other corporations use that I also don't like. No, I don't buy their products.
When it comes to autos..... Rich speaks, I’m all ears. You see more vehicles in a year than I could build in a lifetime! Thanks for the recommendation on the Platinum Ultra.

I can’t find Pennzoil Ultra Platinum at Walmart, and the places that do have it are prohibitively expensive .
But I can find Valvoline Extended oil …… I’m very happy 😊 .
None of the Wal Marts around me has Pennzoil Ultra on their shelves! I can however get on line and buy it and have it sent to me if i order $35 worth of oil.
Napa online or amazon
if you can, maybe you can test oil's shear stability, evaporation loss and oxidation stability?
Nothing against Pennzoil I've been using vavloline since 1969 in all my car's and trucks and all had over 350.000 on them I change oil at 4.000 miles and use 5w30 on the f150 thanks for sharing your thoughts this thumbs up 👍👍
Don’t sweat it… people are NUTS. Social media really pulled the curtain back for me - I used to think most people were reasonable rational thinking folks; boy was I naïve!!
BTW, no ultra in the Greenwood SC Walmarts either. Ordered from Amazon.
I don't really sweat it but I use these moments to teach other people about this type of stuff so I could educate the masses and then maybe it will deter other people from acting stupid and every once in a while I'm able to identify these people and then put them in their place
I sure would love to see some mechanical videos by you on my Lincoln TC.

This statement is quite comical! Rich just finished saying he is not sponsored by Valvoline or anyone else and you go and post that statement. He has no interest is any of your TOKENS of gratitude! He probably appreciates your acknowledgement of his work and that's as far as it goes.
I know someone who works for a testing lab. They routinely test many different motor oils. He says Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is always among the best. I have a 2018 Mustang GT, 5.0 V8. My car has an extended Ford warranty. I would prefer to use Pennzoil, but I have the Ford dealer change oil every 5,000 miles, 5w-30 full synthetic Motorcraft. I’m confident that my engine is in good shape. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work. 🤠
If you keep it to 3-5000 mile intervals and even cheap synthetic oil is better than say a synthetic blend or “conventional” oil
Me personally I don't run after the best high top / most expensive oils existent no matter where I buy it from ... I buy a good quality oil filter and a gallon oil ( 5k miles ) and change it at 3k ( sometimes earlier) . Each one buys what can afford but in my opinion the secret is to keep maintenance and fluids up to date and topped off, I will never feel comfortable doing oil changes longer than 3k miles even buying expensive oil . I'm not a professional by any means, I'm just a diy'er and never had any issues. Sub'ed 👌
yup it really just comes down to changing it on time. Not going these dealer recommended intervals like 10k+ , just decent full syn oil every 5k /6mo or sooner. 3k is overkill if the car is a daily imo, only if you're driving in harsh conditions like super hot or cold or dusty or if you do a lot of short trips without getting engine fully warmed up.
How annoying are they. This page isn’t an airport, they don’t need to announce their departure.
Don't forget, some people attribute their own biases and tendency to 'use the truth recklessly" to everyone, just smile and move on, they are not worth the grey hair.
I live in Oregon, and I went to three different stores and no one had platinum ultra and a couple of the auto parts guys didn’t even know what it was. Lol. So I ordered it off Amazon and something happened and they fucked the order up but lucky enough I finally found an advanced auto parts store that carries Pennzoil ultra platinum. I am using it in my brand new 2023 Toyota Tacoma, but I don’t know if it’s in my head but the truck almost sounds like it’s louder when it’s idling with the Pennzoil ultra platinum as opposed to the mobile one. Which I watched several videos were mobile one is getting its ass kicked.
I am with you on Penzzoil /Redline view.
I did use Amsoil, also have nothing agaist it, but I just did treated it as regular oil, meaning under 5k intervals. There is no way I will leave oil in the engine for 20k miles. Not even going to dispute that with anyone - my car - my rules.
At the end I wound with using RedLine in all of my cars.
Up-ahead I agree that Penzzoil platinum is really really good oil. What I do not like, and it is personal, more about how gears turning in my head, not trying to covince anyone but I strongly disagree with "synthetic" lable. I.e. you take a organic product, derived frim Earth, do whatever manipulations with it and call it synthetic all of a sudden?
I mean, vodka is gas-to-liquid, right? But we do not call that synthetic. Ice changed its state from liquid, did not suddenly become sythetic.
Anyway... RedLine is kida expensive VS the rest but having a chouce:
1) Penzzoil ultra platium is really good oil, reasonably priced but with little taste of BS that it is synthetic
2) RedLine which is more expencive but pretty much the best money can buy.
I choose #2 i.e. spend more money and give my business to people who are not only make excellent product but also honest. Thank God I can afford that.
I want to let you know I really appreciate your videos! I do have a question on what you think about Valvoline vs Amsoil specialty hybrid oils? Or do you think I should use Pennzoil Ulta Platinum in my 2024 Ford Maverick hybrid, and not worry about using one of those oils formulated for hybrid running conditions?
Here’s my take on oil. I don’t give a F. Change it when it’s required to be changed. Good to go
The best thing is regular oil changes regardless of brand period 💯
100% spot on. Only the manufacturer wants you to go 7500 miles on an oil change. Not me.
@@jamesgullo8240 Toyota says 10k miles, I bought a one owner car with 140k miles and they used 10k mile oil change but so far no oil consumption thankfully. Gonna run Pennzoil ultra platinum with 5k interval from now on
LOL I warned you about the oil Debate ,,, 98 percent of people have no clue why they buy the brand they do
You didn't warn me about anything I didn't know already man I'm ready for it
My company uses Valvoline because it is the BEST oil for the dollar. I use Pennzoil because I am willing to pay more to get the best. Valvoline 0w20 Maxlife High Mileage oil change is 1/2 the price of a Pennzoil oil change.
I had to order my Pennzoil on line as well.
I thought you were being paid by CostCo full synthetic... get your story strait guy
I thought it was a SuperTech commercial myself!
@@RustyZipper 😂🤣
After testing Both Pennzoil platinum series. :
Ultra ; Pros; More Boron and ester = More antiwear aditives for extreme performance.
Cons: higher level of oxidation, about 10.7 Good for high performance engines but not for long oil change intervals .
Regular Platinum level of oxidation is about 3.6 Less extreme performance but longer excellent quality protection for most driving conditions.
Well we should be changing by 5k anyway so ultra it is
I've said it before on here....I've been using Valvoline synpower is every vehicle I own for over 20 years. I run everything to 200k+ miles. So many are stuck on the mobile1 bs. Valvoline has been around longer than anyone else.
My race mode is all I use is Valvoline
Oh man, Ford Boss on the take,LOL, that is just too funny, the guy needs to put the crack pipe down and pay attention, I would use the Penn Ultra but it is too hard to get here at a good price, I have been running QS hi mile full syn or Harvest King full syn from Atwoods ( an East Texas West Louisiana Farm and Ranch store like Tractor Supply the HK oil was 19.99 for a 5qt jug and the QS at my Wal-mart is $ 5. 78 a quart I think. But at 5000 miles it gets changed pushing 400k on my truck and went from 5w-20 to 5w-30 at around 150k miles. If I ever find Penn Ultra at good price I will give it try, I am shooting to get 1 million miles out of my truck. Keep up the good posts and videos.
Don’t let those trolls get to you. Sadly, they’re unhappy people.
I make content to educate even using troll videos
They are not " getting to me ".
Screw the haters... Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I just picked up 2 bottles of the Valvoline SYN Blend for my CVPI based on your advice. I hope you enjoy your kickback! 💰 💴
What you think about for magnate. GTX 5.30 for my 2018 3.5 100,000
I would like to know to have one to 😊
I do not have access to Pennzoil Ultra Platnium here in Sweden.
Valvoline is here but I haven't run my cars on it.
I have driven Mobil 1 in several cars.
I have been happy with Mobil and Castroil.
But now in the last few years I have only driven on Motul 8100 X-Clean EFE.
It is 100% synthetic which is better not more expensive than Mobil or Castroil here.
Now prices have skyrocketed here after the pandemic.
Now Motul 100% synthetic is very expensive here.
I have made the mistake of running on a cheaper engine oil in a tuned car and changing more often.
The whole engine oxidized again on that car.
it cost me approximately 1900 dollars in 2005 in dollars.
1900 dollars in 2005 was a lot of money back then.
I was looking for other faults on the car all of a sudden it was like the crankshaft went straight off.
The starter motor all turned but it was as if the pistons were not moving.
I had to leave it at the workshop, it took time before they found the fault.
The filter for the crankcase ventilation had completely oxidized.
Had to grind the vemtiler pipe and tear the whole engine, it cost me 1900 dollars calculated in 2005.
I could have bought a lot of oil for $1900 back then.
Bought oil for it yet.
Therefore, I dare not take any more chances and want a very good oil.
Motul is big on oil very big on motorcycles and racing.
So I'm running on that right now.
The only thing I can think of to change from the one I'm running now is the Pennzoil Ultra Platnium.
But it is not here.
I could also have imagined Amsoil, but it is not available here either.
Then importing from the USA in small batches is not worthwhile either.
I checked the shipping from Ebay on 4 pieces 1 gallon cans of oil it was over 300 dollars in just shipping.
Then tax and fees on top of that too.
So I aim for my Motul.
From what I understand, Motul oil for cars is expensive and hard to get in the US?
Two-stroke oil from Motul is used by many in the USA as well as oil for Motorcycle, Cross, ATV.
But their engine oil for cars is hard and expensive to get hold of?
Hey , good day to you.
Quick question. What’s your opinion on the NAPA full synthetic. I understand it’s made by Valvoline and when they have a sale , the price is amazing. A 5 quart jug for $19.99 just seems to good to pass up.
Would the additive package in the NAPA be the same , or very similar at the very least.
Also NAPA makes a great filter, gold or platinum.
Thanks for any consideration. 😊
Great oil
He didn't even get his facts right, $24 is the the Platinum, Ultra is always $32 at Walmart. Rich why pay him ANY attention.
Naw change your oil every 3k miles take it as a learning my experience my engine cost $26,000 ion got the money
I bet Valvoline even bought that cool waterfall on your pool too!!!
Valvoline is the oldest automotive oil on the market and has been in the industry for over 150 years. I hardly doubt VIOC is paying this guy for his circles of not the best knowledge. This is a preference war…..
thank you all
People dig deep to find something to complain about. Basement dwellers.
WHAT THE heck was that noise? >>> 3:52
You are correct you have always stated that Penn Ultra is preferred go to Oil, This Troll should know that you cannot buy Ultra at Walmart at least I have never seen it-You can order it online but not walk in and find it. I wished Pennzoil in the future would do a video with a tear down of an engine say around 100K miles just to see how good the Oil works-I am sure it would look new
Just googled the Penzoil platinum oil ultra (🇨🇦) came up $78.99 for 5L on Amazon! Yikes. I think our Walmarts have it way cheaper so I’m going to check it out today. I just did my oil change the other day was back home at my dads shop and had some ams oil leftover. Mom just sold her ‘14 f150 limited and my dad had some leftover motorcraft filters so he gave them to me so I’ll the penz and I’ll tell Valvoline I used theirs so uncle rich can still get that $krilla 😂
I’m at Walmart the penz ultra is 5L for $39.97 Canadian the quarts are really expensive $14.97 so gotta go with the jugs I guess lol
My local Walmart just started carrying the garage packs. I will probably start using the vavoline, I wish they had a 10/40 I would use in my can am, don’t think I’ve ever seen the ultra at my walmart
I've been using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum ever since Walmart and Tractor Supply stopped carrying Rotella Gas Truck oil. Never saw Ultra Platinum at Walmart. I've seen Platinum but not Ultra.
Sometimes i dont take scotty Kilmer serious
I'm very lucky, walmart always has the ultra platinum in my I've used many different oils over the many decades, and I find the Pennzoil ultra platinum is currently the best.
PENZOIL ULTRA IS THE NEXT OIL I WILL BUY. THANKS Rich!
Thanks Rich. Yes the person is a troll and they can be annoying. Sure seems like the person has not watched any of your other oil videos.
I like how you go into stores and see whats on the shelves. I do the same thing.😁
Pennzoil Platinum Ultra is some trick stuff.
So many great oils to choose from these days.
Thanks again for all your videos. 🫡
I switched to Pennzoil after watching your video, 2 of my coworkers did the same, and we all surprised noticeable differences, wow! What a difference, never thought it will make such a big difference, I thought I didn’t feel it right or only in my mind until I asked the other 2 coworkers, bought 12 jugs a few months ago when it is on sale, it is my go to oil now. Thank you for that❤
Great job!
The big difference in the "ultra" is the high number for TBN.
3.4 vs. 8.1 in 10W20
That's not the only difference also people notice better oil pressure and better resistance to noack volatility and it does not shear and break down as fast
Rich, you know the secret. Start with a known reliable engine. Change your oil 3-5K miles. That's it. All the techno speak is 95% marketing. They aren't lies, but it's not all that important. A few PPM more or less isn't going to blow your engine.
There are those who subscribe to channels like this to learn something new. Then there are the TH-cam mall police who subscribe to make themselves feel important. Sitting in their stained filthy recliners with a 6 pack of Bud Light on one side and a giant bowl of Cheetos on the other, It's a relentless quest for social media influence and dominance...😂 Keep up the good work Ford Boss Me!
growing up, I was always told that Pinzoil wasn't a good oil that would mess your engine.up I wonder if that was ever a true statement
Some of the older oils 40 years ago had what was called a paraffin based stock and it would wax up when it was cold but years later Pennzoil has what's called gas to liquid stock they use a gas and then they turn it into a liquid for purity
@FordBossMe thanks for the update I appreciate it
I have seen pennzoil ultra platinum at the walmart by me in south jersey but not that often and never $24 as far as price .... 😮 thanks again rich and screw the haters
Out here doing gods work
Valvoline base oil is group 3+4, Pennzoil Platinum is group 5. The base oil matters more than the additive package, that's why it doesn't mean as much to put lots and lots of additives. Any platinum is great, the ultra just has more additives.
You're right about redline as well. That one is also one of the true synthetics out there.
I’ve tested all the oils and Valvoline tastes the best 😂😂😂😂
Great taste, less viscosity
I get my Ultra Platinum from Amazon when the price drops.
I use Valvoline full synthetic high mileage or Napa full synthetic high mileage (witch is produced for Napa by Valvoline btw) along with an oem or Napa filter every 3K or there abouts. But any good oil changed regularly is better than expensive oil with way too long intervals imo. I don't rely on my oil change monitor system in my car, I keep track of all of my maintenance the old fashioned way on pen and paper. I also send in oil samples every once in awhile just to make sure nothing is sneaking up on me.
I really like the PUP as well and I’ve used it in my 6.4 Hemi since new but I’m tired of having to go to the dealer every time for an oil change and paying through the nose so I switched to Castrol 0w40 European oil and the truck seems to like it just as well…I actually mixed it with some left over PUP I had laying around…truck runs fine!..my truck has close to 70k on it and I change my oil about every 5000 miles…hopefully I never get the Hemi tick 🤦🏻♂️
Just want all the Oil Companies unlike Ford Boss, I can be bought! I’m a Pennzoil Platinum guy, but slip me $10,000.00 I would swear I changed! My morales are on par with a Lawyer,,,,,,,,,,, or a New Raptor or Bronco! My 2.7 F150 holds 6 quarts and I get 5 quarts for around $25.00 and then that 1 quart I pay around $10.00, I know I should buy 2 jugs but I’m poor.
I use Walmart Super Tech full synthetic with a Ford Motorsport oil filter in my 5.0 Coyote F 150. I change it every 5000 miles.
It's definitely a decent oil but it's not really that great overall I would probably go up to something like Valvoline Advanced or Valvoline extended protection
@@FordBossMe Thanks for the advice, i’ll pick up some of that Valvoline and use it on my next oil change.
We have a good number of great motor oils to choose from. Walmart, for the most part, does not carry the stuff I prefer. I end up ordering what I need. For my vintage HP cars I use Valvoline VR1. Full disclosure Dad had one job post college, ASHLAND oil, Valvoline parent company. But if it was not a great oil...I'd use something else. Thanks
