- Mobil1 5w30 engine oil could be to thin for your car or viscous, especially if you drive a modern vehicle like a direct injection engine. Always check with the manufacturer or the owner manual. Often some manufacturers recommend using a chart depending on the climate or environment you live in. what is the best engine oil, There are many factors such as increased wear from driving habits. Protection from oil can be improved if you have a direct injection engine then you dont want to use a thick oil that the manufacturer doesn't suggest. Also noack volatility is a important factor. Mobil1 extended performance 5w30 is a great oil but make sure this falls into the manufacturer's recommendations. Mobil1 vs supertech oil is another video where I test and review motor oil. zinc or zddp can be very important however due to the catalytic converter you must follow manufacturer's recommendations because Zddp can be harmful to the catalytic converter. Amsoil signature series 5w30 or Mobil1 annual protection full synthetic engine oil again thats a video I performed testing. Thin engine oil can damage the engine if its not the proper viscosity from the manufacturer of your car or vehicle. Liqui moly engine oil, Pennzoil ultra platinum or motul specific motor oil are good options. All oils with the manufacturer specifications and certifications can be used if your manufacturer says its safe. valvoline advanced full synthetic oil is a great quality oil for winter cold temperatures or summer hot temperatures.

What oil are you using? Also for what make,model & the mileage since you have used the oil?
Shell helix hx 8 5w/30 since 2018
@@gagandipkaur8011 If this oil follows manufacturers specifications and you have had success using it then you may not want to change unless the manufacturer does confirm the new oil you would like to use is ok with the manufacturer. But check severe driving conditions in your manual. You may need to change the oil sooner.
What was zddp originally Used for? And why is it not used today as much?
@@russlardinois5751 It is a lubricant. Similar to lead in gas.
The cheapest synthetic oil with the right specs.
Using whatever oil car came with,change it every 5k the most, fuel up with high quality gasoline without ethanol in it ...so far so good . Maybe put PEA cleaner too
The oil cap says 5w-20 and you are using 0w-40?
He used European formula oil for his Hyundai which is a Korean car?
Mobil 1 0w-40 is in FACT a heavier or higher end of viscosity allowance for a 30 weight oil at operating temperature (where the second number is calculated ie 20, 30, 40 & 50 weight). If you don’t believe me look at the VOA of this oil. I use Mobil 1 0w-40 for any vehicle (mostly Toyotas) that call for 5w-30). I’m not telling anyone to do this, you can educate yourself and make your own decision.
The Lucas fuel additive you used “in my opinion” does nothing as it contains ZERO PEA. Use one that does (RedLine S1-1 or Techron) if you want to actually clean carbon.
I think you mean that it’s a very light 40w that’s nearly a heavy 30w. If I recall correctly 40w Mobil 1 has been like that for a long time now.
@@michaelw6277 Yes I changed the wording. Seemed right in my head lol. Mobil 1 0w-40 FS has always been a lighter 40wt which in context of viscosity allowance at temp for a 30wt is perfect. It also seems to shear a slight bit in use thus making it settle right in the middle for a required 30wt oil. Love that it contains a little PAO (think it’s mostly GTL these days). Very robust formulation for sure!
@@nordicpride9708yep sure is. That’s why I use 5w40 now mixed with 15w50
I've got a 99 Yukon. 5.7 vortec 350 slightly modded.
Manufacturer recommendation is 5w30
I strictly use Mobil 1 - 15w50 full synthetic race proven oil along side either k&n or Mobil 1 long life oil filters. Changed every 3 to 4k . Not to mention I use neodymium magnets on my oil filter & a magnetic oil drain plug. You never know what metal particulates can be picked up along the magnets potentially helping longevity of the engine.
I use that oil year round, here in Colorado. The Mobil 1 15w50 full synthetic has extra anti wear agents that make my old high mileage rig run like a champ for 225xxx miles. Would not recommend such heavy weight oil on these newer vehicles. Usually a quality synthetic Manufacturer recommendation on oil changed every 3 to 5k is key. I don't believe in long oil change intervals especially since gas mixes in oil over time. - very corrosive
You forgot to mention GDI engine itself is garbage trash do to oil mixing up with fuel and burning oil do to higher extreme pressure of fuel injection system and VW has the same problems same goes for some Honda models my friend oil is the least amount of problem when the engine itself is defective designe and poor fuel system in order the raise gas mileage
Do you want to avoid all these modern problems?
Get rid of any direct fuel injection system.
Can i use 0w-40 instead of 5w-30 in vw polo petrol engine at hot weather conditions?
I am wondering same thing
@@stanktuss3151 i switched from conventional to synthetic 5w30 a few oil changes ago. my last oil change i switched to 0w40 euro formula and haven’t noticed any issues. i drive a 2001 infiniti i30
Company recommended is 5w/30 but I want to decrease cold start wear to increase engine life and the car does mostly in city driving and in severe traffic stop and go driving
What SAE do you use?
if your car is new and running 0w16 or 0w20 don't do it manufacturer recommended it for Cafe reasons imo it won't protect your motor I switched to 5w30 and my engine is alot more quieter and smooth
Do a video of witch fuel filter brand filters the best that would be an interesting video
I don't know what this obsession with zddp is. It is an outdated anti-wear additive.
Great video as always
I just stopped turning wrenches on Trucks and I enjoy your videos.
I won't purchase a vehicle with turbos, GDI without port injection, or sleazy mechanical CVT.
My next vehicle will probably have the Camry hybrid drive train. But not in a Camry (Seinna, rav4, Vensa, Crown, some Lexus SUVs), probably a Rav4.
No turbos. No GDI without port injection, no sleazy mechanical CVT, no start/stop system, no belts (accessory or timing), no 12 Volt starter or alternator, no 11 speed torque converter automatic, no torque converter.
Electric car goodness without the electric car drawbacks. You get an electric car with gasoline engine assist. That engine is an efficiency tuned Atkinson cycle gasoline engine. A reliable planetary gearset provides CVT action for the gasoline engine. The main traction motor is direct drive to the wheels (like most battery electric cars).
Hi Nate,
Nice channel mate. Always super informative.
I’ve been doing alot of research lately in regards to ‘engine flush’ when doing a oil change on hyundai i30 pd. On a few i30 forums they have stated hyundai ‘does not recommend ENGINE FLUSH’. What are you thoughts? Is an engine flush really important? I’ve read a few scary stories of people doing an engine flush on the GDI 2.0L & then later having problems.
He must work in an oil and dirt free garage that top is spotless
… in an 20 years old or older vehicle it’s ok use 20w50 if you live in a tropical climate, newer cars, please fallow manufacturers 🙄recommendations,
I hear you Nate. I'm stuck having to use low SAP oils myself.
Can I use 0w/40 instead of what company recommended 5w/30 car has done 32,000 kilometers and not burning any oil now it's winter here
Always check with the manufacturer they may allow this oil for substitute. Its better in cold weather hence 0w, it can possibly provide more protection at engine operating conditions hence 40. But with viscosity as the only factor. They are fairly equal. I cant tell you to use something the manufacturer doesn't suggest but many companies will allow it, just contact them.
If it's extremely cold and you can hear valve noise in cold start and it doesn't go away with in 5 minutes of extremely cold start early in the morning or late at night you can use 0w30 formula but most of the 0w30 you will find in market is specifically made to work with German cars such as BMW Mercedes benz or Audi or Porsche or VW engines also same goes with 0w40 call oil company and give your car make and model and they will tell you the best oil recommendation for your car engine I have had extremely good luck with Shell Rotella red bottle 5w30 for gas truck and suv but it worked great on my friends infiniti Q50 2020 with over 100k miles on it with twin turbo it was keep burning oil and the Shell Rotella was great for this application engine I have had great luck working in his car as a mechanic but make sure for hot summer you use 5w30 it's slightly thicker oil it's better protection for summer driving
Investing in today is priceless because tomorrow isn't promised, trading Bitcoins,gold, silver and crypto secure a better Tomorrow.
Interesting, most people don't understand the market moves and tend to be mislead in facts like this and always depend on Money in the Bank very bad idea
Exactly, money is always eager and ready to work for anyone who is ready to employ it, I was able to withdraw my profit of $17,000 after investing $3,500 on Mr Ben Harris platform some days ago
Thank you for the info, I can comfortably buy the dip without the fear of losing.

This needful but beginners shouldn't settle for videos alone, deep thoughts of life is not shared or made available to everyone. I am so happy for taking the bold step in working and investing $2000 with him after a week I received $9,300 to my bank.
I thought about zinc but it's not good for cars that smoke like mine does.
On to the next bottle of crap to dump into my engine.
If my mechanic put 5w-30 in my GDi engine which requires 5w-20 I HE LIABLE for the damaged engine?
nate where's your new videos at?
Modern diesils run 30,000 to 50,000 psi in common rail injection.
Crazy
The pressure seems to continuously be raised over time as for gasoline engines to.
How often do you use a intake cleaner?
well first off this is a hyundai/kia, put all the additives you want that isnt going to help. additives dont work they only modify the viscosity of your oil to hide issues.
Zzdp I guess is a great methode to protect metal on metal but wondering how much zinc is in the mobile 1 high mikaged extended performance
Thank for explaining
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned
from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the
Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas
station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel
pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in
the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems,
turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and
New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be
done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of
crime here, called "Abgasbespaßung". :-(((
Bullshit, the only thing that will happen is manufactured will only be allowed to produce electric vehicles. All other cars on the road now can still be run on the roads till they finally die.
I'd be interested in your references to all this info. I'm ok with German, Spanish and English. I have an old mercedes w124, and I'm not really keen to put too much maintenance in a car I can't drive for more then a few more year's.
thanks in advance
Where did you get this information from:
- Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel
pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute
- From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too
I haven't heard anything about this in the German media so far. I am very interested.
Can i use this oil on a 2007 dodge charger SRT
check out the pilot geek he states m1 bearly has enough zinc...amsoil is best
I just spit on it… it lubes it right up
Gdi must be the worst invention ever.
0:50 So what does the FS stand for?
Full Synthetic
I have never been impressed with Lucas.
And using shell helix hx 8 5w/30
Good price? Most Oils that have the proper certifications are fine to use.
I am from india the company is tata and the car is tiago 2018
This is great to share thank you. The best thing you can do if the manufacturer won't allow 0w40 is find which oil in your area being sold has the highest amount of zinc allowed. The very best you can do is make sure that you dont fall under severe driving conditions as many do. Check the owners manual and you will be surprised. If you fall under severe driving conditions, you may have to change the oil in half the mileage as before.
The engine is natural aspirated 3 cylinder
Really that probably great for fuel economy.
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO U think maybe they don't use catalytic converters over there. Must be nice not worrying when that's going to get stolen.
