@@ProjectFarm I like this oil challenge. Here is another idea, not sure if you have heard of Hot Shot Secret oil treatment products but I think it would be a good product to do some tests with, here is a link to their website if you would like to check them out. Thank you. www.hotshotsecret.com
@@isidrosevier1125 do you think it's worth going back to maybe better of these oils tested and doing the bearing test on cooked oil? Some might even do better or they're designed right. Just a guess by the way cooked Amsoil was faster. Here's the catch though. Some heat beat up oils really lose viscosity? By the bearing test I'd say Amsoil is still a strong protectant! My motorcycle sheers 10w-40 oil down to 5w-20 in just 800 miles. Come see some of the oils I've tested in it's engine.
I still want to see Renewable Lubricants (RLI) and Green Earth Technologies' G Oil in these tests. RLI's is Vegetable Oil Based Motor Oil, GAT's G Oil is made with Beef Tallow as its base. Both of them are Biodegradable and Non Toxic. There's a 3rd company called "Go Green Smokeless Oil" which is also supposed to be non toxic and maybe there are other companies making earth friendly motor oils. Project Farm could not only test how these oils perform in the engine but also how they, new and used, perform against patches of grass (dug up and placed in a tray of pots, of course.) I poured RLI's Low Ash 5w40 Diesel oil on my lawn (both New and Used) and the grass died initially but re-grew under a week later. Such a good application for a boat. RLI also make Bio Friendly Hydraulic Oil and have been in the game since the early 90s.
Definitely do a diesel oil comparison in 15W40 and also 5W40. Amsoil oil sells a 5W30 HDD oil. I would love to see how these oils hold up. Thanks for all you do Project Farm.
Been using Penrite since the late 80,s. Not stopping now. I,m a retired engine reconditioned and have seen the out come of many oils & there uses and i,m sticking with Penrite by my experience.
Whenever i see a showdown between any two brands (not necessarily oil), i always think about the possibility of bias because of sponsorship and influence by manufacturers, but not on this channel! Love you Project Farm!
I tested some oils against each other on my motorcycle. That motorcycle is picky so it's a great way to put oils to their limit especially with all my highway driving on a tiny .250 liter engine. It literally sheers 10w-40 oil down to 5w-20 oil in just 800 miles!
@@ProjectFarm Before or after the showdown can you run Amsoil non-Signature series against the Penzoil Ultra Platinum. (Please also show the price because in my view Penzoil has already won this championship. Due to it being a great oil at a good price.)
Had to pause a movie I literally just started when I got the notification this was uploaded lol. Ive been running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in my Jeep and Amsoil in my Ram Cummins since new. Nice to see them both come out on top and I’m happy the time I spent researching oil was worth it. Fantastic series!!
It's fun to watch your earliest videos and see how much your production quality has improved. I loved all those older videos too. Anyway, great work. Love this whole playoff thing.
I feel like we should send a trophy to the company that wins this thing! I bet they would be excited to see how many oils their oil beat and just how scientific the whole thing was
As if you weren't already doing awesome, I love how you're evolving to bearing test the cooked oil, and additionally bearing testing them at operating temps!
I've researched from various customer reviews,lab testings from the suppliers,and even talked to some engineers of these oils. Reason I did all that was to find out what oil is the best to run in my vehicles. I came to the conclusion, my top 3 was Shaeffers, amsoil, and pennzoil ultra platinum. I was kinda disappointed that pennzoil actually beat out Shaeffers (which I run in my car). But I'm also glad too ,that pennzoil is a better price that shaeffers and is readily available through Walmart. Either oil is great to run in anyone's vehicle,but I'd also like to find out which oil will stand alone as the biggest of them all. Thanks project farm for all you do and let's do a oil filter comparison playoff and find out just who makes the best oil filter? Thanks again!!!!!!
I was thinking about how he could do an oil filter test and I came up with an idea: mix a whole bunch of used oil together, and then pump a portion of that oil through separate filters, collect it, and send it in for testing. Then you compare the results! You could also compare the color of the oil and the dirtiness of the filter media after passing through with clean oil.
Need to get oil filters ready for summer oil change next weekend with the winning oil. Thanks for the commitment for sharing this. Is there an oil filter challenge in the near future 😉
really enjoying this oil competition series.. accidently stumbled upon your videos when looking around for a different brand of oil to use and now i'm subscribed and watch every video. top work! 👍
Somehow, You have me hype over oil running down PVC pipes. Dude, you have already taught me sooooooo much, which I am then teaching to my family on the farm. You're videos are amazing, and I really appreciate you!
I think that's a brilliant idea. The idea I suggested was that we needed to see flow when the oils are hot instead of cool. It's great to know that the oil does better on a cold startup, but how about how it flows when it's hot and it's all going well?
I always thought Pennzoil was kind of a budget oil (in the same price range as Quaker State, Castrol and Valvoline at most retailers, usually well below Mobil 1, and half the price of Royal Purple, AMSOil, etc) which makes it even more striking when you consider the performance here. I regularely buy Pennzoil Full Synthetic for $20/jug (5 quarts) at Meijer, which is in-line with generic brands like Super Tech, Amazon, etc.
Today's Pennzoil is the finest you can get off the shelf. The natural gas to liquid base stock is incredible and the additive pack is robust. I run it proudly. This ain't grandpa's old waxy Pennzoil that he ran in his sludgy 60s Chevy with no PCV system.
I will be rooting for my Amsoil Signature But also i am surprised how well the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is doing. Its kind of funny my Dad always used Pennzoil and i went with Amsoil and these 2 oils end up in the finals. Sadly my Dad is gone now but he taught me well, i would love to be watching the show down between these 2 oils with him. Thank You so much for bringing all this information to light.
Whoever the champion is next week, please do a head to head with that oil unchanged and with motorkote added. Please do all of the same test to see if motorkote changes anything. Thank you
Unless you buy wholesale from Pennzoil you're getting less of your money's worth. Buy Pennzoil from a third party, they mark it up to get it profits. You're not getting $9, but $4 of actual product. Besides you don't know how long that product has been sitting. That's why they go %50 off, to prevent cut of losses. Amsoil you get exactly what you pay for and not by much more. Amsoil SS is only $10 if you're a preferred customer! Well I'm happy to know if I ever have to buy oil at a store I'll be getting Pennzoil
Very true but I'm actually saving money by switching to amsoil from royal purple and helping out family (my brother in law is a dealer for amsoil) so it's a no brainer for me
@@quaken3 where you get the $14 extra?? Amsoil SS can probably even last twice as long. Just look it up, for example Uber taxis that run it. I really hope the next video, he makes the testing more regiment like how it's in actual life, to see how much different they are
I have loved watching your oil test series, and hope you continue testing new oils. Being an Aussie, I loved seeing one of our great products in your test's (Penrite), though I would have tested something out of Penrite's 10 tenths range against the Amsoil instead. More international brand oils would be great...
You're the first person I've supported on Patreon and let me just say its worth it. you're commitment to unbiased reviews and quality videos and passion for the views is the reason I did it.
@@ProjectFarm Do you think you'll do the comparison with your existing 2 stroke bicycle motor vs the Flying Horse 2 stroke bicycle motor? Just curious?
@@Paul-cb2rb the 10tenths racing is actually rated lower for protection (ACEA B3 compared to B4) then the vantage. Would be super interesting to see real world testing though
I am, because I’m a synthetic mobile one fanboy lol and used to be pennzoil fanboy before I felt it was time to move to mobile1 And I’m against amsoil because of its price point! No oil should cost what amsoil costs! So therefore I hope pennzoil wins 😂
Project Farm, love your videos. Very well done. Remember the comment I made about me being in Australia and having access to this oil? Anyway, I thought to let you know that the penrite you have used in this test is the lowest grade penrite sell in it's full synthetic range. And yet it nearly made it to the top. The next stage up from the vantage is the HPR range which is their most popular. Then you have the 10 tenths premium which is a pure group 4 and group 5 ester blend. Then you have 10 tenths racing which is a shear free oil with group 4 and group 5 blend but with more zinc and additives at 2100ppm vs 1800ppm for the one above. The king of the hill of oil in Australia is Nulon Racing oil. This is an expensive oil which contains Group 4 base stock combined with Group V Alkylated Naphthalene. This is even more effective than any oil from Penrite with even less friction. This has 2300ppm of zinc and additives. I would love it if you bought one of these and tested them again. These are probably some of the best engine oils in the world.
Thank you for you time and dedication for doing this. I was bummed that Schaeffer's oil was not in the final showdown however I was glad to see that all three oils that I have used in my own vehicle we're both in the final four and in the final. Your channel is awesome Project Farm and I really appreciate your efforts in taking the time and money to do this. Thanks.
Here is a question for you, if you have 2 quarts of 1 brand of low quality oil and 2 quarts of high quality oil where does it degrade or improve the oils if you combine them as its all you have on hand? Do they become even or does it make a super oil/ horrible oil combination? I look forward to your videos and thank you for providing a non-bias review of products and answering the questions we have.
Green-sorb works pretty well for me as a fridgie. Almost all the oils for refrigeration systems are synthetic so kitty litter doesn't seem to work as well. YMMV
All your videos have been so thorough and scientific but this series has been my favorite. You have quickly become one of my favorite channels to tune into and I watch a great span of different types of content from manymanymany channels. Keep up the good work. If I could afford to I'd be a patron via patreon, but I'm poor in America hahaha. Much love, sir
My Father in law is an old mechanic and he swears Penzoil is the worst oil made. So this kind of blows my mind. Thank you so much for doing this, it’s very informative and I’ve learned a lot binge watching your channel.
My Dad was a Master Mechanic certified by NYS, and Penzoil and Quaker State weren't his favorites either. But this was back in the 70's, early 80's. Not sure if this was because they used oil sourced from PA, or if it was just a poor formulation he say problems with.
There was a rumor that Pennzoil sludged up many engines back in the 60's and 70's. I would bet money that it was started by a rival oil company. That being said, all oils sucked really bad back then. Hence the 3000 km oil changes recommended for all cars.
@@tylerh629 The truth was closer to the opposite, if you ran non-detergent oil in an engine on dirt roads with not so great air filtration for 50k miles then hit it with a detergent oil, all that crap breaks loose at the same time, clogs the filter till it bypasses on high pressure, then you clog the lifters if they are hydraulic, or even worse the inlet screen on the oil pump and if you dont hear the clatter and shut it down soon enough you kill the engine. The moral to the story is if youve been running non-detergent motor oil( have to search for it these days) and decide to switch to detergent oil, do your next oil/filter change way early. The secondary moral to the story is dont run non-detergent motor oil. My dad told the story of buying cars from an auction some particular GM motor that I cant recall was his favorite to make out on, if it is clattering on the top end, he would open the door and look for an oil change sticker, if it said Havoline on it he would buy the car, dump a quart mason jar of kerosene in the oil and drive it home, pull the valve covers to clean all the goo out, take it back to the auction the next week and double his money. One of his buddies started doing the same thing, and blabbed to someone else and ruined his sweet scheme. You couldnt sell havoline oil much around here after that but you could get more than its worth for a clackering old worn out car with a Havoline sticker on it LOL
People *still* use 15w-40 in their diesel engines? Man oh man... some ideas never die. 5w-40 is the way to go, especially in Winter climates. I run 0w-20 in ALL my gasoline engines, all year round. Almost 500,000km on my Sierra (rusted body forced it off the road but it is still my driveway plow truck!) Thicker oil does not mean better. Common myth from days gone by. Besides, did you see his frozen test? That is with 5w-30. Imagine what kind of thick molasses 15w-40 would be at only -10. The valve train will not receive a drop of oil for 5 minutes until it thins enough to run up the pushrod.
I would like to mention something. I grew up in amsoil town and we used to change the oil on their test cars and would have to bottle the drain oil so they could get lab testing done. We ended up with a printout from them regarding wear protection tests they performed using many different engine oils, synthetic and conventional both. Many of you will be shocked by what im about to say, but of all the oils tested, amsoil won, but the #2 was 5w30 CONVENTIONAL pennzoil. It was the only conventional motor oil that made it into their top 10. Due to cost i never used amsoil, but it made me a believer in 5w30 conventional pennzoil, and since cost is low and i got the information from one of the leaders in sythetic motor oil, i figure why not. Anyway, great video. Keep em coming. Looking forward to the finals!
Could you do a series on Ocilating Multitool cutting blades, I use them daily and would like to see a good heads up comparison, I watch your channel and believe you do a great job of analyzing how effective these products are. Thanks and keep on making awesome informative unbiased videos.
Thanks for listening to all the feedback about switching to Ultra Platinum and all the new testing methods. Really shows you value your community, not to mention you reply to nearly every comment despite having a massive audience of 600k Subscribers. Massive respect.
I'm so glad your channel is doing well. I have been watching since "i can't believe what seafosm did to my engine" Creators like you are what YT is all about.
Hello! I just wanted to say thank you project farm for doing these kinds of things. Watching these videos satisfies the mechanic in me. You are my go-to channel on TH-cam and I really look forward to the next video in the oil playoffs, and other future projects and tests
I started on Amazon because of the testing. I thought it was a good performance, with excellent price. Though, I had a range of oils I found good before, currently using Penzoil platinum in my Subaru. I used Idemitsu full synthetic in our Saturn. But over all, I think I will be happy with the performance of many of these. Especially the Penzoil
I’ve always heard bad things about penzoil and Quaker state and avoided them like the plague, guess penzoil ( platinum) is a good buy. I’ll be switching from Mobil 1. I also think this should be done yearly to see who is slacking and who is stepping up.
We’ve been using amsoil for years with our truck fleet - never had any issues. When we do have issues, its when we pick up a new truck and are forced to use the crap stock oil because the warranty demands it. Trouble starting in cold winters, noisy, more frequent refills, etc. Its a night and day difference - i wouldnt hesitate recommending amsoil anytime
Were you already a fan of Amsoil, or newly so after the testing? I can't believe how much Pennzoil has turned around from the company who made my engine run funny in the 1990's. I'm glad I'm able to be swayed by science, rather than a bias based on truth, which just is a bias if it's not re-evaluated from time to time.
Been using since 1996, started in bass boat and then every vehicle since. I have had zero issues. I am truly a believer and see no need to change now. Oils have improved but I think amsoil is best. I had a marine mechanic look for wear after 4 years and he said it looked like a new motor. Hard to beat those results!
@@wesmclaughlin7580 while that is impressive, Blackstone labs can't tell us which of the top companies is actually better. They'll all lead to long lasting engines if the oil has anything to say about longevity. The bearing test is like the taper ball rolling test, which, while still done, isn't actually a factor in modern engines anymore. All the other tests are more "valid" but as an engine is starting to be damaged from old age, I think an oil doing better on his bearing test will cling that engine to life the most.
I agree, that is only my opinion. I just see no reason to change after all this time. I'm no oil expert just believe in using quality products. I also use amsoil filters which in my mind are very good. I do believe however if you change oil when you are supposed to, then they are all pretty good. I change my amsoil at 15000 miles and filter, even though amsoil says 25000.
Perfect timing Im ready for the first oil change in my 2015 Z28. Great timing, recommended manufacture oil is Mobil 1. Never thought I would be using Pennzoil in a million years lol. Unfortunately this car takes 9 quarts, LS7 427 likes oil. Really appreciate all your testing! My favorite TH-cam channel. Great job!!!
With that many quarts Id say its important to buy two 5 quart jugs (or buy in even bigger bulk than that) and also important is buying something that will last a long time
Is there somewhere to access all the data you’ve collected from the tests? I’d be most interested in cost vs. performance ranking. Thanks for going above and beyond in your videos! Also loving the additions to the lubricity tester! No more spitting!
Do you really think that would make a difference? It might change the numbers, but the relative results between brands which are mostly influenced by additives would be the same no?
@@Luckingsworth 0W oils flow better in extreme cold (like the -15 freezer), so it would be interesting to see how much that would make a difference. But, yes, the oil additives are most likely similar.
Also a suggestion is to let Penrite fight against schaeffers to find out the bronze (3rd) place. I think the champion combined with MotorKote would become the most optimal oil ever.
Look at you with all your new equipment! I've missed a few videos! Glad to see you're still chugging along! You always put out excellent content! Love the oil series!
I knooooooooow you put a ton of work into these tests and videos, and they are absolutely awesome...but I'd love to see Motorcraft and Phillips66 full synthetic go up against some of these oils just to see where it lies.
Brendan O'meally I have heard that as well, and it very well may be true. I reached out to "ConocoPhillips" about this, and they said I needed to contact "Phillips66" (I didn't know they were different entities). I have not had a reply from them in 2 months. What I am wanting to know, is if the Phillips66 branded oil is the same formulation as the Motorcraft, or if Motorcraft is a totally different recipe. Doing them side by side here, would help to determine that, I think.
More exciting then the presidential basketball 🏀 brackets.! Yes I use Pennzoil synthetic and it’s really good (smoother/faster) in Rogue 15 and better better than Amazon
I'm so happy Pennzoil has made it this far, I've always wondered why people swore by certain brands I'm used to hearing like Wix and Pennzoil and after doing a lot of research it's clear as to why. Love your channel
This is more interesting than a championship fight, and I Look forward to it every week! Please consider doing something similar with non-synthetic oils. Thank You!
Amsoil will definitely win, but it better given how much it costs, lol. Pennzoil has some great value for the protection it offers. I've been using it in all my vehicles, including my turbocharged one that gets beat on pretty hard at the track.
I run ultra platinum 5w30, only downside is you pretty much have to get it online. Would be nice if platinum was shown to offer pretty much the same benefits when it's easily found in store
Don't hold me to this but I think the Ultra was available initially in the US but then sales pretty much only went to the EU. I imagine PZ may have had a tough time keeping up with demand when it was new to the market. Also there was something about it meeting EU standards and wasn't needed in the US. But I agree with using the Ultra if you can get it. Why not? I think Ultra was only $1.50 more per 5 quart bottle at the time. BTW I noticed today that Todd has oil tests posted on his patreon site including PZ Plat and Ultra Plat.
@@kjisnot yeah it's kind of weird, I work in a parts store and we can get our hands on 5w20 and 5w30 UP, but absolutely cannot get any other viscosities without a headache. I've always wondered why it's so scarce
Considering I used Mobile 1 full synthetic for many years and then switched over to Pennzoil 0w20 Ultra Platinum, your testing somewhat doesn't surprise me, especially on the Pennzoil.
Did you notice any change in "performance" that others have reported when they changed over? I believe it is mostly in their head and want to believe in the "increased acceleration" when it was doing that all along. My main reason for changing is for the increased cleaning and lubrication from highway driving with city driving in the mix.
Grizzleback07 definitely noticed a change in performance! I swapped both my cars over to Pennzoil because they had the rebate going on and was super cheap. Didn’t think anything of it until 2-300 miles in, both my cars are just snappier and more responsive! More so in my tsx. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 👌
1.7 million miles on my Cummins ISX and I have only used Rotella and a gallon of Lucas since it was new. Did the in frame at 980k, and she's still chugging along.
Pennzoil is already the winner if you factor the fact that it is much cheaper than the tested oils aside from amazon,been using Pennzoil for 3-4 years,great job
Todd, Sir. This series has developed very well indeed to the point where these finals are undoubtedly the best, most accurate, most representative bench test of automotive oil on youtube right now. Your dedication and thoroughness is admirable. My hat is doffed to you good sir, and I am proud to be a patron. 👍👍✨🏆🍻 Now im off to watch the final final.
Well Amsoil is very expensive just a heads up lol. But the fact Pennzoil made it this far, and you can buy it at Walmart for under 30 bucks for a jug, I'm not sure how your mind is not already made up
Jmhm17 amsoil is about $45/5 qts, would you go 15,000 miles or more with the pennzoil? If you go 10,000 or less, I think amsoil may win the cost factor.
Kevin Sayles Both oils are nearly identical in performance for the first 10k miles. If someone changes their oil at 10k miles, then clearly Pennzoil was the winner, because it’s readily available at 40% of the price of Amsoil. I used to go 10k miles, until used oil lab results showed that 20k was better. If someone takes their oil to 20k miles, then clearly Pennzoil is the winner, again due to availability and price. Both oils are nearly identical for the first 20k miles. These oils may differ near 35k miles but until you see the data you might take this opportunity to 🤐. I have one engine at 321k miles and another engine at 99k miles. They each run fine and I have lab results. Do your homework.
Johnathan DeWitt lol as of this coming Tuesday it won’t be a good comparison. I have a Hellraiser pulley now installed, injectors and thermostat. Taking it to Georgia to be dyno tuned.
Jusb1066 I won’t use a different viscosity than what is recommended. But pennzoil isn’t a favorite of mine.. I find it ironic that FIAT owns pennzoil along with many auto brands and it is the “recommended” oil.
Championship showdown happens on Monday at 2:45 CST. Which oil brand will take home the championship best oil trophy? Let's find out! Hope you've enjoyed the oil series as much as I have. Please let me know your ideas on future video topics. Thanks again!

LoL, true!
YESS! HEATED OIL for the lubricity/bearing scar testing! We love it! Thank you
Thank you!
can you do a new, cold, and hot flow test?
@@isidrosevier1125 do you think it's worth going back to maybe better of these oils tested and doing the bearing test on cooked oil? Some might even do better or they're designed right. Just a guess by the way cooked Amsoil was faster. Here's the catch though. Some heat beat up oils really lose viscosity? By the bearing test I'd say Amsoil is still a strong protectant! My motorcycle sheers 10w-40 oil down to 5w-20 in just 800 miles. Come see some of the oils I've tested in it's engine.
Really liking the subtle changes too
I drove 400km this weekend with a large caravan. Oiltemp was about the test numbers (120 degrees celsius) . Great test!
Now this is a final four worth watching 👍🏻
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the video!
I still want to see Renewable Lubricants (RLI) and Green Earth Technologies' G Oil in these tests. RLI's is Vegetable Oil Based Motor Oil, GAT's G Oil is made with Beef Tallow as its base. Both of them are Biodegradable and Non Toxic. There's a 3rd company called "Go Green Smokeless Oil" which is also supposed to be non toxic and maybe there are other companies making earth friendly motor oils. Project Farm could not only test how these oils perform in the engine but also how they, new and used, perform against patches of grass (dug up and placed in a tray of pots, of course.) I poured RLI's Low Ash 5w40 Diesel oil on my lawn (both New and Used) and the grass died initially but re-grew under a week later. Such a good application for a boat. RLI also make Bio Friendly Hydraulic Oil and have been in the game since the early 90s.
Definitely do a diesel oil comparison in 15W40 and also 5W40. Amsoil oil sells a 5W30 HDD oil. I would love to see how these oils hold up. Thanks for all you do Project Farm.
Thank you for the video idea!
I want to see a diesel oil competition like this too if possible!
Amsoil makes the best diesel oil also.
They has a large line of automotive fluids.
Gear oils, ATF, brake/clutch, coolant, flush, & more.
Obviously not snake oil if it's made it this far in the competition
You could also use some diesel oils in some gas engines I recall in racing scene people where using diesel oil to withstand the high temps and boost.
Been using Penrite since the late 80,s. Not stopping now. I,m a retired engine reconditioned and have seen
the out come of many oils & there uses and i,m sticking with Penrite by my experience.
The War of Oils.
Better than a Netflix Series.

I concure. I'm just annoyed by his voice
Whenever i see a showdown between any two brands (not necessarily oil), i always think about the possibility of bias because of sponsorship and influence by manufacturers, but not on this channel!
Love you Project Farm!
Thank you!
I tested some oils against each other on my motorcycle. That motorcycle is picky so it's a great way to put oils to their limit especially with all my highway driving on a tiny .250 liter engine. It literally sheers 10w-40 oil down to 5w-20 oil in just 800 miles!
@@DENicholsAutoBravado Makes sense. High revving air cooled engine, right?
@@ProjectFarm Before or after the showdown can you run Amsoil non-Signature series against the Penzoil Ultra Platinum. (Please also show the price because in my view Penzoil has already won this championship. Due to it being a great oil at a good price.)
Had to pause a movie I literally just started when I got the notification this was uploaded lol. Ive been running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in my Jeep and Amsoil in my Ram Cummins since new. Nice to see them both come out on top and I’m happy the time I spent researching oil was worth it. Fantastic series!!
Thank you!
I quit playing xbox immediately upon being notified this was available, lol
Pennzoil is the best. Well at least second best! I've used it for years too...
Steven Kane I had to pause my life to watch this!! 😂

@@tylerh629 I think that's just how it's designed, possibly so you can have different sections have a different temperature.
It's fun to watch your earliest videos and see how much your production quality has improved. I loved all those older videos too. Anyway, great work. Love this whole playoff thing.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback!
Your dedication is impressive.
Thank you!
expecially the lubricity test after cooking the oils, ive been waiting for that for a long long time
I feel like we should send a trophy to the company that wins this thing! I bet they would be excited to see how many oils their oil beat and just how scientific the whole thing was
Great recommendation!
I bet they are watching!
The most expensive oil wins, you don't need to congratulate them anymore than when you buy their oil
The trophy should be a pyramid of the test bearings, with the losers at the bottom and the winner on the top.
As if you weren't already doing awesome, I love how you're evolving to bearing test the cooked oil, and additionally bearing testing them at operating temps!
Thank you!
I've researched from various customer reviews,lab testings from the suppliers,and even talked to some engineers of these oils. Reason I did all that was to find out what oil is the best to run in my vehicles. I came to the conclusion, my top 3 was Shaeffers, amsoil, and pennzoil ultra platinum. I was kinda disappointed that pennzoil actually beat out Shaeffers (which I run in my car). But I'm also glad too ,that pennzoil is a better price that shaeffers and is readily available through Walmart. Either oil is great to run in anyone's vehicle,but I'd also like to find out which oil will stand alone as the biggest of them all. Thanks project farm for all you do and let's do a oil filter comparison playoff and find out just who makes the best oil filter? Thanks again!!!!!!
Thank you for the video idea!
I was thinking about how he could do an oil filter test and I came up with an idea: mix a whole bunch of used oil together, and then pump a portion of that oil through separate filters, collect it, and send it in for testing. Then you compare the results! You could also compare the color of the oil and the dirtiness of the filter media after passing through with clean oil.
Pennzoil ultra have to buy on internet it's not same as the Platinum at walmart
@@glennkrg6897 The pennzoil ultra platinum on walmart.com isnt the same? Is that what your saying?
In store they don't have the ultra Pennzoil planitum
it more money then planitnum
Need to get oil filters ready for summer oil change next weekend with the winning oil. Thanks for the commitment for sharing this. Is there an oil filter challenge in the near future 😉
really enjoying this oil competition series.. accidently stumbled upon your videos when looking around for a different brand of oil to use and now i'm subscribed and watch every video. top work! 👍
Thank you very much!!
My money is on Amsoil 😎🏁🏁
But i don't think you can go wrong with either of these 👍
Great videos! Keep up the good work! 👏
Thank you!
Somehow, You have me hype over oil running down PVC pipes. Dude, you have already taught me sooooooo much, which I am then teaching to my family on the farm. You're videos are amazing, and I really appreciate you!
Thank you very much for the positive comments!!!
For the finale...test cold and hot oil on the same bearing and add up the total weight loss for the winner
Yesss
Get this to the top
Great idea!
I think that's a brilliant idea. The idea I suggested was that we needed to see flow when the oils are hot instead of cool. It's great to know that the oil does better on a cold startup, but how about how it flows when it's hot and it's all going well?
Great idea!!
Been waiting for this...thank you ! Very well done!

Thank you for the video idea! I'll do this one soon
I think Amsoil is gonna take the trophy. Impressed with both. I've never been a fan of pennzoil, but perhaps I should take another look
Thank you!
I feel the same....... Pennzoil has always been a no no in my world. Maybe it's time to re think that.
I always thought Pennzoil was kind of a budget oil (in the same price range as Quaker State, Castrol and Valvoline at most retailers, usually well below Mobil 1, and half the price of Royal Purple, AMSOil, etc) which makes it even more striking when you consider the performance here. I regularely buy Pennzoil Full Synthetic for $20/jug (5 quarts) at Meijer, which is in-line with generic brands like Super Tech, Amazon, etc.
your loss then.
Today's Pennzoil is the finest you can get off the shelf. The natural gas to liquid base stock is incredible and the additive pack is robust. I run it proudly. This ain't grandpa's old waxy Pennzoil that he ran in his sludgy 60s Chevy with no PCV system.
I will be rooting for my Amsoil Signature But also i am surprised how well the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is doing. Its kind of funny my Dad always used Pennzoil and i went with Amsoil and these 2 oils end up in the finals. Sadly my Dad is gone now but he taught me well, i would love to be watching the show down between these 2 oils with him. Thank You so much for bringing all this information to light.
It's a great oil. Thank you
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is excellent oil and is $25 for a 5 quart jug at Walmart and Amazon
@@bluejayguy05 Yes thats a good price $5 per qt, I do pay more $10 per qt for the Amsoil Signature.
Whoever the champion is next week, please do a head to head with that oil unchanged and with motorkote added. Please do all of the same test to see if motorkote changes anything. Thank you
I agree 1000%
Thank you for the video idea!
Ultimate oil with the ultimate additive!
+1 upvote!
Please do, I'm exploding at the thought
This has been a video series that I have been genuinely excited about watching when I see the thumbnail. Thanks Project Farm!!!
Pennzoil may lose to Amsoil, but the diff in price might even the playing field.
Great point! It'll be a very close competition for sure!
Unless you buy wholesale from Pennzoil you're getting less of your money's worth. Buy Pennzoil from a third party, they mark it up to get it profits. You're not getting $9, but $4 of actual product. Besides you don't know how long that product has been sitting. That's why they go %50 off, to prevent cut of losses. Amsoil you get exactly what you pay for and not by much more. Amsoil SS is only $10 if you're a preferred customer!
Well I'm happy to know if I ever have to buy oil at a store I'll be getting Pennzoil
For 5 Qt. Amsoil $64.25, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum $24.97 (Walmart)
Very true but I'm actually saving money by switching to amsoil from royal purple and helping out family (my brother in law is a dealer for amsoil) so it's a no brainer for me
@@quaken3 where you get the $14 extra?? Amsoil SS can probably even last twice as long. Just look it up, for example Uber taxis that run it. I really hope the next video, he makes the testing more regiment like how it's in actual life, to see how much different they are
I have loved watching your oil test series, and hope you continue testing new oils. Being an Aussie, I loved seeing one of our great products in your test's (Penrite), though I would have tested something out of Penrite's 10 tenths range against the Amsoil instead. More international brand oils would be great...
Thank you

Would love to see one of penrite better oils tested. The vantage is literally the cheapest synthetic oil they sell.
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm the reply sounds bias!
Yeah, Penrite premium or racing 👍🏼
@@Paul-cb2rb the 10tenths racing is actually rated lower for protection (ACEA B3 compared to B4) then the vantage.
Would be super interesting to see real world testing though

Is it weird that I'm super excited for the championship round for oil? 😂
Thank you!
No. I am too!
Grab some bbq wings and favorite drink, sit back and root, haha.
Same this Oil Chaponship is actually what I look forward to watching every week
I am, because I’m a synthetic mobile one fanboy lol and used to be pennzoil fanboy before I felt it was time to move to mobile1
And I’m against amsoil because of its price point! No oil should cost what amsoil costs!
So therefore I hope pennzoil wins 😂
Project Farm, love your videos. Very well done.
Remember the comment I made about me being in Australia and having access to this oil?
Anyway, I thought to let you know that the penrite you have used in this test is the lowest grade penrite sell in it's full synthetic range.
And yet it nearly made it to the top.
The next stage up from the vantage is the HPR range which is their most popular.
Then you have the 10 tenths premium which is a pure group 4 and group 5 ester blend.
Then you have 10 tenths racing which is a shear free oil with group 4 and group 5 blend but with more zinc and additives at 2100ppm vs 1800ppm for the one above.
The king of the hill of oil in Australia is Nulon Racing oil.
This is an expensive oil which contains Group 4 base stock combined with Group V Alkylated Naphthalene.
This is even more effective than any oil from Penrite with even less friction. This has 2300ppm of zinc and additives.
I would love it if you bought one of these and tested them again.
These are probably some of the best engine oils in the world.
Great information. Penrite is a great oil! Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm Will you import one of those to test?
I can't believe how excited I am about the final.. Thanks so much for doing these

Thank you for you time and dedication for doing this. I was bummed that Schaeffer's oil was not in the final showdown however I was glad to see that all three oils that I have used in my own vehicle we're both in the final four and in the final. Your channel is awesome Project Farm and I really appreciate your efforts in taking the time and money to do this. Thanks.
Thank you
Here is a question for you, if you have 2 quarts of 1 brand of low quality oil and 2 quarts of high quality oil where does it degrade or improve the oils if you combine them as its all you have on hand? Do they become even or does it make a super oil/ horrible oil combination?
I look forward to your videos and thank you for providing a non-bias review of products and answering the questions we have.
I'm a simple man. I see Project Farm final 4 I click!
Thank you!
Which brand of kitty litter soaks up oil best ? I figure you’d be the guy that would know.
Cat litter is just mostly clay
Thank you for the video idea!
Saw dust, the softest you can get. Therefore use cottonwood saw dust.
Oil-Dri. They own the pits where the clay comes from and use it for various products, including kitty litter.
Green-sorb works pretty well for me as a fridgie. Almost all the oils for refrigeration systems are synthetic so kitty litter doesn't seem to work as well. YMMV
All your videos have been so thorough and scientific but this series has been my favorite.

Thanks for another fantastic oil testing video! I'm looking forward to see who wins on Monday. :-)
Thank you very much! Looking forward to your next video too!
My Father in law is an old mechanic and he swears Penzoil is the worst oil made. So this kind of blows my mind.
Thank you so much for doing this, it’s very informative and I’ve learned a lot binge watching your channel.
I believe the oil has changed a lot over the years. Very good oil in my opinion.
My Dad was a Master Mechanic certified by NYS, and Penzoil and Quaker State weren't his favorites either.
But this was back in the 70's, early 80's. Not sure if this was because they used oil sourced from PA, or if it was just a poor formulation he say problems with.
There was a rumor that Pennzoil sludged up many engines back in the 60's and 70's. I would bet money that it was started by a rival oil company.
That being said, all oils sucked really bad back then. Hence the 3000 km oil changes recommended for all cars.
@@tylerh629 The truth was closer to the opposite, if you ran non-detergent oil in an engine on dirt roads with not so great air filtration for 50k miles then hit it with a detergent oil, all that crap breaks loose at the same time, clogs the filter till it bypasses on high pressure, then you clog the lifters if they are hydraulic, or even worse the inlet screen on the oil pump and if you dont hear the clatter and shut it down soon enough you kill the engine.
The moral to the story is if youve been running non-detergent motor oil( have to search for it these days) and decide to switch to detergent oil, do your next oil/filter change way early. The secondary moral to the story is dont run non-detergent motor oil.
My dad told the story of buying cars from an auction some particular GM motor that I cant recall was his favorite to make out on, if it is clattering on the top end, he would open the door and look for an oil change sticker, if it said Havoline on it he would buy the car, dump a quart mason jar of kerosene in the oil and drive it home, pull the valve covers to clean all the goo out, take it back to the auction the next week and double his money. One of his buddies started doing the same thing, and blabbed to someone else and ruined his sweet scheme. You couldnt sell havoline oil much around here after that but you could get more than its worth for a clackering old worn out car with a Havoline sticker on it LOL
Please run a similar oil test challenge for 15w-40 oils for diesels with Mobil One Turbo Diesel, Rotella T6, etc. . Thanks.
Thank you for the video idea!
Project Farm yes please test oils for diesel engines. Thank you 🙏🏻
At least we gonna get a diesel championship oil series.
Yes! This would be great! As well as the pennzoil platinum euro (dexos 2) oil. Thanks!
People *still* use 15w-40 in their diesel engines?
Man oh man... some ideas never die. 5w-40 is the way to go, especially in Winter climates.
I run 0w-20 in ALL my gasoline engines, all year round. Almost 500,000km on my Sierra (rusted body forced it off the road but it is still my driveway plow truck!)
Thicker oil does not mean better. Common myth from days gone by. Besides, did you see his frozen test? That is with 5w-30. Imagine what kind of thick molasses 15w-40 would be at only -10. The valve train will not receive a drop of oil for 5 minutes until it thins enough to run up the pushrod.
I would like to mention something. I grew up in amsoil town and we used to change the oil on their test cars and would have to bottle the drain oil so they could get lab testing done. We ended up with a printout from them regarding wear protection tests they performed using many different engine oils, synthetic and conventional both. Many of you will be shocked by what im about to say, but of all the oils tested, amsoil won, but the #2 was 5w30 CONVENTIONAL pennzoil. It was the only conventional motor oil that made it into their top 10. Due to cost i never used amsoil, but it made me a believer in 5w30 conventional pennzoil, and since cost is low and i got the information from one of the leaders in sythetic motor oil, i figure why not.
Anyway, great video. Keep em coming. Looking forward to the finals!
This is great information! Thank you
Could you do a series on Ocilating Multitool cutting blades, I use them daily and would like to see a good heads up comparison, I watch your channel and believe you do a great job of analyzing how effective these products are. Thanks and keep on making awesome informative unbiased videos.

I agree with previous commentor about the cost of Amsoil. Great oil product but the cost is astronomical compared to Pennzoil. Great video as usual.
Thank you!
It costs more, yes, but you get more miles out of it.
With amsoil i only change oil once a year.

Thank you!
Switched to Penzoil from Mobil 1 because of this series.
Thank you!
I started on Amazon because of the testing. I thought it was a good performance, with excellent price. Though, I had a range of oils I found good before, currently using Penzoil platinum in my Subaru. I used Idemitsu full synthetic in our Saturn. But over all, I think I will be happy with the performance of many of these. Especially the Penzoil
@Dylan Robinson I noticed! It's still good, not great.
Same. Penzoil is pretty good stuff
I’ve always heard bad things about penzoil and Quaker state and avoided them like the plague, guess penzoil ( platinum) is a good buy. I’ll be switching from Mobil 1. I also think this should be done yearly to see who is slacking and who is stepping up.
We’ve been using amsoil for years with our truck fleet - never had any issues.
When we do have issues, its when we pick up a new truck and are forced to use the crap stock oil because the warranty demands it. Trouble starting in cold winters, noisy, more frequent refills, etc.
Its a night and day difference - i wouldnt hesitate recommending amsoil anytime
Thank you!
You're THE BEST!!! ❤
You're the only guy who tests different brands and shows the process! Highest levels of honesty and transparency! ❤
Thank you so much!
Always loved Pennzoil
Next competion should be with additives..Lucas, Hyper Lube, etc.
Thank you!
just look at the way superior amsoil retains the flow even after cooking! it ate up penrite for lunch dinner and supper..
This series has been a lot of fun and for me Amsoil all the way!
Go Vols!
Were you already a fan of Amsoil, or newly so after the testing? I can't believe how much Pennzoil has turned around from the company who made my engine run funny in the 1990's. I'm glad I'm able to be swayed by science, rather than a bias based on truth, which just is a bias if it's not re-evaluated from time to time.
Been using since 1996, started in bass boat and then every vehicle since. I have had zero issues. I am truly a believer and see no need to change now. Oils have improved but I think amsoil is best. I had a marine mechanic look for wear after 4 years and he said it looked like a new motor. Hard to beat those results!
@@wesmclaughlin7580 while that is impressive, Blackstone labs can't tell us which of the top companies is actually better. They'll all lead to long lasting engines if the oil has anything to say about longevity. The bearing test is like the taper ball rolling test, which, while still done, isn't actually a factor in modern engines anymore. All the other tests are more "valid" but as an engine is starting to be damaged from old age, I think an oil doing better on his bearing test will cling that engine to life the most.
I agree, that is only my opinion. I just see no reason to change after all this time. I'm no oil expert just believe in using quality products. I also use amsoil filters which in my mind are very good. I do believe however if you change oil when you are supposed to, then they are all pretty good. I change my amsoil at 15000 miles and filter, even though amsoil says 25000.
Thank you for making these videos!!
Perfect timing Im ready for the first oil change in my 2015 Z28. Great timing, recommended manufacture oil is Mobil 1. Never thought I would be using Pennzoil in a million years lol. Unfortunately this car takes 9 quarts, LS7 427 likes oil. Really appreciate all your testing! My favorite TH-cam channel. Great job!!!
With that many quarts Id say its important to buy two 5 quart jugs (or buy in even bigger bulk than that) and also important is buying something that will last a long time
Is there somewhere to access all the data you’ve collected from the tests? I’d be most interested in cost vs. performance ranking. Thanks for going above and beyond in your videos!
Also loving the additions to the lubricity tester! No more spitting!
Thank you! Oil analysis results are available on the Project Farm Patreon for free. I'll try to post more information after the playoffs are finished.
Project Farm Great to hear! I’ll be jumping on shortly!
You should do these tests on 0w-20 oils. A LOT of newer cars use this viscosity and it would help many, many vehicle owners.
Thank you!
Do you really think that would make a difference? It might change the numbers, but the relative results between brands which are mostly influenced by additives would be the same no?
@@Luckingsworth 0W oils flow better in extreme cold (like the -15 freezer), so it would be interesting to see how much that would make a difference. But, yes, the oil additives are most likely similar.
Also a suggestion is to let Penrite fight against schaeffers to find out the bronze (3rd) place. I think the champion combined with MotorKote would become the most optimal oil ever.
I like that idea
Thank you!
WOW! So good that you got individual burners for the evaporative tests. This is so much easier to shuffle and gurantees even heating.
Thank you!
New griddle, new freezer, new measuring cups. Looks like you have been upgrading. What's next???
Thank you! I borrowed the freezer. Very expensive and greatly appreciate a friend "Dave" loaning it to me. Thanks Dave!!!
He also improved the lubricity test bench. I also noticed a big improvement in editing. He really puts a lot of work into making these videos.

you can buy used GM car for the price of the fridge..
Going to have a few friends over for this championship... so much better than the stupid bowl!!!!

Thank you!
I knooooooooow you put a ton of work into these tests and videos, and they are absolutely awesome...but I'd love to see Motorcraft and Phillips66 full synthetic go up against some of these oils just to see where it lies.
Thank you!
If I'm not mistaken, Phillips 66 bottles motorcraft oil
Brendan O'meally I have heard that as well, and it very well may be true. I reached out to "ConocoPhillips" about this, and they said I needed to contact "Phillips66" (I didn't know they were different entities). I have not had a reply from them in 2 months. What I am wanting to know, is if the Phillips66 branded oil is the same formulation as the Motorcraft, or if Motorcraft is a totally different recipe. Doing them side by side here, would help to determine that, I think.
More exciting then the presidential basketball 🏀 brackets.! Yes I use Pennzoil synthetic and it’s really good (smoother/faster) in Rogue 15 and better better than Amazon
Thank you!
I'm so happy Pennzoil has made it this far, I've always wondered why people swore by certain brands I'm used to hearing like Wix and Pennzoil and after doing a lot of research it's clear as to why. Love your channel
Thank you!
I've been waiting for this! I'm rooting for Amsoil.
amsoil wins...but its also one of the most expensive liquid gold you can buy
.....and you get what you pay for.
@@fidelcatsro6948 Not really, it's cheaper than doing multiple oil changes (provided your car doesn't burn oil and doesn't leak.)
Absolutely. Amsoil is so expensive. Pennzoil is so much cheaper. About 1/4 of the cost, when you find it on sale.
I have nothing against Pennzoil, I just prefer Amsoil and have seen better results in most applications.
So...umm...how long before we can find the official Project Farm Lubricity Tester at our local Harbor Freight?
Just asking for a friend...
Lol. Thank you!

This is more interesting than a championship fight, and I Look forward to it every week! Please consider doing something similar with non-synthetic oils. Thank You!

Amsoil will definitely win, but it better given how much it costs, lol. Pennzoil has some great value for the protection it offers. I've been using it in all my vehicles, including my turbocharged one that gets beat on pretty hard at the track.
Thank you!
Yeah but will keep you’re car running forever
@@edwardogarcia5800 what oil will?
@@ChumpyChicken2 Amsoil is the only thing going in
@@edwardogarcia5800 how long is forever? Penrite 10 Tenths Racing 5 should have been tested instead of this.

Regardless of the final outcome, I would love to see Pennzoil Platinum vs Ultra Platinum!
Thank you for the video idea!
I run ultra platinum 5w30, only downside is you pretty much have to get it online. Would be nice if platinum was shown to offer pretty much the same benefits when it's easily found in store
Don't hold me to this but I think the Ultra was available initially in the US but then sales pretty much only went to the EU. I imagine PZ may have had a tough time keeping up with demand when it was new to the market. Also there was something about it meeting EU standards and wasn't needed in the US. But I agree with using the Ultra if you can get it. Why not? I think Ultra was only $1.50 more per 5 quart bottle at the time. BTW I noticed today that Todd has oil tests posted on his patreon site including PZ Plat and Ultra Plat.
@@kjisnot yeah it's kind of weird, I work in a parts store and we can get our hands on 5w20 and 5w30 UP, but absolutely cannot get any other viscosities without a headache. I've always wondered why it's so scarce
Love the sports-event-style-commenting of the flow test.
Also the overall level of thoroughness is getting better and better.
Thank you!
Considering I used Mobile 1 full synthetic for many years and then switched over to Pennzoil 0w20 Ultra Platinum, your testing somewhat doesn't surprise me, especially on the Pennzoil.
Thank you!
Did you notice any change in "performance" that others have reported when they changed over? I believe it is mostly in their head and want to believe in the "increased acceleration" when it was doing that all along. My main reason for changing is for the increased cleaning and lubrication from highway driving with city driving in the mix.
Grizzleback07 definitely noticed a change in performance! I swapped both my cars over to Pennzoil because they had the rebate going on and was super cheap. Didn’t think anything of it until 2-300 miles in, both my cars are just snappier and more responsive! More so in my tsx. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 👌
I think Amsoil gonna win... but both are fantastic products!
Thank you!
My monies all on Amsoil. Without a doubt. It was recommended as the best for diesel but very expensive so I opted for Shell's Rotella.
1.7 million miles on my Cummins ISX and I have only used Rotella and a gallon of Lucas since it was new. Did the in frame at 980k, and she's still chugging along.
Thank you!
J. Wilson it is possible to purchase Amsoil at wholesale which puts it right at a similar price point. Thats what I do.
I was surprised that Rotella wasn't in the competition.
I’m so glad that your testing keeps evolving while getting better and more precise. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Pennzoil is already the winner if you factor the fact that it is much cheaper than the tested oils aside from amazon,been using Pennzoil for 3-4 years,great job
No. Amsoil will last for many more miles than most (if not all of these) This is not accurate
Thank you!
I’m definitely gonna buy Pennzoil Ultra for my next oil change. Great performance for $25 for 5 quarts??? I’ll take it over Amsoil.
Thank you!
ye def, smart
Amsoil has 3x the service life...
Yeah Pennzoil!! I run it in my Inline six bmw, Great stuff, better then mobil 1 by far
Thank you!
Todd, Sir.
This series has developed very well indeed to the point where these finals are undoubtedly the best, most accurate, most representative bench test of automotive oil on youtube right now.
Your dedication and thoroughness is admirable.
My hat is doffed to you good sir, and I am proud to be a patron. 👍👍✨🏆🍻
Now im off to watch the final final.
Thank you!
who ever wins this will be the only oil I'll ever buy for my car
thanks project farm
Thank you!
Well Amsoil is very expensive just a heads up lol. But the fact Pennzoil made it this far, and you can buy it at Walmart for under 30 bucks for a jug, I'm not sure how your mind is not already made up
Jmhm17 good point! I’ve been a die hard amsoil fan but now that pennzoil is basically just as good, I’ll probably switch.
Jmhm17 amsoil is about $45/5 qts, would you go 15,000 miles or more with the pennzoil? If you go 10,000 or less, I think amsoil may win the cost factor.
Kevin Sayles Both oils are nearly identical in performance for the first 10k miles. If someone changes their oil at 10k miles, then clearly Pennzoil was the winner, because it’s readily available at 40% of the price of Amsoil. I used to go 10k miles, until used oil lab results showed that 20k was better. If someone takes their oil to 20k miles, then clearly Pennzoil is the winner, again due to availability and price. Both oils are nearly identical for the first 20k miles. These oils may differ near 35k miles but until you see the data you might take this opportunity to 🤐. I have one engine at 321k miles and another engine at 99k miles. They each run fine and I have lab results. Do your homework.
At this point, im thinking about using Amsoil for personal lubrication in the bedroom!!
Lol
ANTHONY SOPRANO amsoil is too slick.you might not feel anything.
replace the creaking bed every 5 yrs or so..!
Pennizoil
It's still toxic unless perhaps you're the Tin Man from Oz.
Amsoil... I switched from pennzoil 0w40 to Amsoil 0w40 in the hellcat. Only change that happened and I gained 2/10’s of a second in the 1/4 mile.
Try ow20 next!
Use Amsoil in the transmission & rear end also, let me know what your gains are then
Thank you!
Johnathan DeWitt lol as of this coming Tuesday it won’t be a good comparison. I have a Hellraiser pulley now installed, injectors and thermostat. Taking it to Georgia to be dyno tuned.
Jusb1066 I won’t use a different viscosity than what is recommended. But pennzoil isn’t a favorite of mine.. I find it ironic that FIAT owns pennzoil along with many auto brands and it is the “recommended” oil.
I love how your testing procedures have evolved and your equipment keeps getting better. You sir are doing a fantastic job!
Thank you!
Amsoil all day long. also, can you rank all by the libricity test?
Thank you for the recommendation!
