I just found Kirkland 15w40 diesel oil. Could you test it against shell rotella? wondering if its a good oil for my cummins. thanks love the channel!
What about Brake fluid? Do brands for that type of fluid differ that much for longevity?
Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure that Warren Distribution makes SuperTech, AmazonBasics, and Kirkland as well.
Please test all conventional non-synthetic oils in a tournament
Korey Yuuuuppp

Gosh the amount of time project farm puts into his meticulous testing is undeniably amazing and thorough, won't be shocked to see his channel be up to 6 million subscribers the next couple years how can you not wach this valuable content and have such an awesome education by doing so.
Most importantly, change you oil at regular intervals. They all degrade with time.
Since most major sports events postponed or cancelled, this has been the most exciting thing in sports term that I have watched
Thanks for the feedback.
I’m a huge F1 fan, and with their first 5+ races cancelled, I got WAY too involved in that cold-start viscosity race. Keep up the great content!
hooray for competitive sports... or sorts.
That race definitely was a nail biter!

Kirkland heavy-duty motor oil is made and blended by Warren distribution, the same company that manufactures Walmart's Super Tech brand. Warren distribution also has its brand of motor oil known as Mag 1 oil. In addition, Warren distribution blends motor oils for Meijer and AmazonBasic oils.
Thanks for sharing.
Just got bottled water from Walmart and Costco same thing different label. These two super stores share a lot of the same products.
@@deeeeeeps so if the same factory produces pots and forks, those are the same products with different labels?
@@wizard-of-other-oz they could be! Either way in this case, if memory serves, the Kirkland and SuperTech oils are borderline identical. Lots of much smarter people who have a greater interest and understanding of this issue did the research, I think there’s like a nearly 200 page thread on BITOG about it.
Man you know your oil!... So when deep frying, what cooking oil should I use?.. for real real ty for the heads up!
What a thorough and excellent comparison for two brands that many of us use often! Incredibly relevant information and much appreciated!

I've been a die hard Valvoline guy but, I've recently switched to super tech and man it seems like that oil holds up better. The Valvoline I feel like would evaporate so quickly. I would top up more often. Good to know their is only a slight variation from different brands.

I use many Project Farm videos in my auto shop class . The students really respond well to them. Thank You very much Sir!
You are welcome!
It's amazing how you have so much time to do this. Amazing!
I'm an avid motorcycle rider, and in our community synthetic oil can be $20 per quart. So many riders use Shell Rotella T6 from Walmart for $22 per 4 quarts because it's JASO MA rated (safe for motorcycle clutches). For the past several years, there have been so many forum wars about why you should or shouldn't use this oil vs the designer oils that cost 4x as much. There are now NO serious reviews that put this argument to bed once and for all. Would be awesome to see it. I'm sure all the motorcycle forums across the country would refer to the review.
BizAutomation Automating Small Business I have 3 bikes. And I use rotella in all of them for years and years. No issues
I have a duramax lmm and klr 250 all run Rotella only other oil I would consider besides it is Amsoil. Mobile 1 oil filter.
I use the ATV oil in my MC & ATV starting in 2010 Most oils are from the same refineries. You pay for that HD label & M1 quart. Smarten UP
I have a 1982 Mercedes 240D with close to 400,000 miles on it.
Sometimes, when it is burning excessive engine oil, and is smoking like a coal fired freight train, I add a quart of 90-140 Gear Oil to the crankcase. It runs smoother, quieter, and smokes a lot less.
I have another engine waiting to go into her, when I get some time to spend in the shop. Until then, I just do what works to buy a few more tbousand miles or so.
I have to chuckle at the sphincter-breaths that swear by expensive designer oils, additives, and their polly-parrot reciting of the advertisement data.
Usually, during the lifetime of their vehicle, they spend enough on all of that fairytale crap, that they could have purchased a new vehicle.
@@marshalllhiepler I completely agree with you but the 240D is probably contributing more to global warming than a couple of coal fired electric plants in China..... Not that I wouldn't get a slight amount of enjoyment of seeing a Prius being enveloped in cloud of soot at a stoplight. :)
Even though I don't have access to a Costco and suspected it was the same as Supertech and Amazon Basics, I still couldn't wait to watch the video. Simply because it's Project Farm and it's a new video.
Thank you very much!
Same here!
Yes, Warren makes all three. And yes, I watched too because it was Project Farm!
An excellent set of tests if I may say so. Great video.
I commented before, on a previous engine oil related video, that there are standard tests which provide insight to the characteristics of oil performance. This suite of cold temperature flow, heat resistance, lubricity, and wear resistance are part of the industry test regime, and the lab tests you asked for are best-in-class when it comes to assessing the performance of lubricants.
Dexos 2 approvals should provide consistency of formulation if both products claim they are compliant, and your tests certainly confirmed that both of these products were comparable. One issue of concern when buying engine oil is whether you can truly rely on the label; has the vendor really achieved the claimed approvals? If you buy from a reputable supplier this will not be in doubt but some disreputable businesses will use the Dexos 2 logo despite not having it i.e. not using the correct formulation, and sometimes make outrageous claims such as an engine oil being suitable for gasoline and diesel engines, motorcycles, and heavy machinery. Such products do not exist. Best to buy from a well-known or trusted supplier.
Your tests conclusively proved that the Kirkland 5w-30 product is within specification and therefore represents great value for money. Thanks for doing such a great job.
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
The best YT comparison video of anything at all ever!!! Hands down! You are doing a great job thank you very much.

I was at Costco’s. Saw this oil. I said maybe this is too low of a price. I looked in the box, I lifted it up, checked the certificates, checked the prices again. I said I better do some research first. Thank you for the video.
You are welcome!
noticed here in Canada mobil been selling price has been in half could not figure out why? now I know Costco ;-)
@@BillyBob-fd5ht where is Mobile 1 selling for half its regular price except when on sale or Canadian Tire? Thank you
@@richardmorse5307 That because of Costco oil at 17.00 bucks sent Mobil having to discount a lot more, I used to buy at Walmart USA 27.00 because crappy tire never put it on sale 56.00 now it every other week.. Thank you, Costco. I would by 0w40 they do not carry. Walmart Canada is a joke
Same here, time to give it a try!
Good to know, thank you! Confirms what my dad told me: "As long as it's SAE/dexos approved, most companies rely on marketing to fool you into thinking their oil is "better". THE biggest way to make your engine last is to change your oil at its scheduled mileage/time interval."
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
Or even earlier. IMO these recommended 7,500to 10,000 miles is way way too long. I do my oil changes at 3,000 to 3,500 on lightly used gas engines and 3,500 to 4,500 on lightly used diesels. Depending on the extremes I will shorten the maintenance times even more because in the long run oil and filters are cheap.
@@2003evodave Same, I change mine every 5000 miles, regardless if it's only lightly used. I consider it cheap insurance, need my Tacoma to last 300k miles!
@@2003evodave that's a waste of money and old school thinking. Believe it or not, oil is a technology. All oil types have vastly improved over the years, including Dino oil. This improvement along with other improvements allow us to go longer on an oil change interval.
These other improvements I speak of are plenty. There's been improvement in oil filters, fuel quality (The government mandated a minimum amount of fuel additives all fuel must have), and cars themselves (computers monitor everything in a vehicle these days and metallurgy has definitely improved).
With your thought process, I'm guessing you are an older gentleman. Nothing wrong with that. I just know when something has been set in your mind for so long, it is hard to change.
The easiest and most factual way to change this thinking is an oil analysis. Blackstone Labs is such a company that does oil analysis. Lots of DIYers use Blackstone Labs every now and then to get a hold on how their engine is doing. Send off your oil after 3500 miles to Blackstone and they will tell you whether or not you can go longer on an oil change. I can almost guarantee you they will tell you the engine can go longer on an oil change.
I work for Warren distribution in council bluffs Iowa. We bottle Amazon basics, Kirkland signature and SuperTech as well as our house brand mag1 on the same lines. They may have very small differences, but they're practically the same oil.
I am in awe of you! Followed you for years. Amazed at the thoroughness of your reviews. (I' m a retired scientist.) I wonder your background. Very scientific approach yet very practical and technical ('engineer like') process. EXTREMELY GOOD JOB!!! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
My favorite channel! I lived inCali for almost 20yrs but I left the country for fam reason. Now I'm living in Manila and I still watch all PF videos. I wish we have kriks oil here. Shell and CalTax "which is Chevron" cost about $8 a liter. Love the channel all the way!

At that price, this must be a “loss leader” for Costco. Get you in for the oil and hope you buy groceries and a few mega roll packs of TP
They out of tp right now🤪
@@miguelare3 name some place that's not!😋 Samsclub is out of all paper products.
I think they just sell them at near cost, similar to their batteries. Costco works because most people buy the membership and don't fully utilize it, which subsidizes everyone else.
At the price of oil now, $28/55g drum, don't think its really a loss leader. $10/g Costco, x 20-30g motor oil per 55g drum is $200-300/drum....
I can't get out of Costco for under $100. Even when all I needed was a hot dog. LoL

Thank you for performing and publishing this test. I had seen analysis suggesting these are as good as any brand name oils, but yours is more rea-world combined with the lab tests.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
Excellent video and presentation. The quality of the tests and information given has become my standard for these kinds of videos.
Thanks!
I liked the Kirkland oil video. I am a bearing Lubrication engineer at GM and help design the crankshafts and bearings for several of our engines including the smallblock engine over the last 20 years. I am not really surprised by your results. Probably the most important part of the label on the oil container is the Dexos certification. That is a GM proprietary certification and oil manufacturers have to submit their samples directly to GM for their approval. If an oil has the Dexos certification I would have no problem putting the oil in my GM car.
Great information. Thank you!!
How did you get into that position? Did you start as a tech or went straight for a college degree?
Ah...so you're one of the guys to blame for the junk GM puts out! (Lol! Sorry...couldn't resist...I'm an avid fan of Scotty Kilmer!!)

Thanks for sharing!
This is the first time I've ever seen the cooked beat the new in the cold flow test. I wonder how that's even possible. It's interesting to see these analyses of oils. The fact that the Kirkland had a smaller wear scar than the Super Tech was exactly what I expected; my ears don't lie-it sounded smoother than the super tech, because less metal was being removed. Note to self; Warren makes good oil. I've used it before under its own name and others' names, and never really tested anything particularly. I run synthetics basically exclusively in any engine I like and plan to keep, which is basically all of them. They're just better protection. Any oil is cheap compared to an engine.
Thanks for the feedback.
M.M.O for 2 stroke oil
I've long been a fan of synthetic oil as well, but the one thing I've always been led to believe is that it's iffy to put synthetic oil in an older engine that's always run conventional oil previously. The idea being that the synthetic stuff is more likely to start leaking around borderline worn seals, since it's "slippier". Not sure how true that is, it may well be just another "folk legend" that has no truth at all.
Synthetic oil does not mean it’s not real oil. It’s a marketing term.
Synthetic oil is more like a “selected property” oil, with the hydrocarbons chains being much more uniform in length.
Normal refined oil, that’s processed from Crude in a refinery stack, has more varied hydrocarbon chain lengths.
The end result is the more normal oil, with its mix of short, medium, and longer chains, tends to be held better in worn seals and loose tolerances. Of course the smaller chains will pass by rings and seals.
The “Synthetic “ branded stuff is much more consistent in chain length, so if rings and seals will let some thru, they will actually let most of the oil thru. It’s not that anything is bad, it’s just physics, but to the consumer it looks like it’s leaking or being burned away in combustion.
The “high mileage” branded oils is really the same oil, but most of the oil is of the long chain variety, so less of it leaks by.
@@PhillipRhodes It's absolutely true. I tested in my 1988 Chevy 305. Leaked pretty quickly after switching to synthetic. I went back to convention and put in a new oil pan and gasket and it's sealed up now.
Wow! Fantastic video with more info than I've seen in purebred. I just paid $43.99 for a gallon of Mobil one at Costco. Their Kirkland beans is $30. After seeing all the testing done on this video, I'm returning the Mobil one tomorrow and grabbing the Kirkland. Thank you for the thorough study!
Thanks and you are welcome!
If I remember correctly Warren also makes the Supertech oil, so they're likely the same oil. Warren makes oil for a LOT of different brands, though that doesn't mean all the brands are made to the same specifications.
He says Warren makes both at the end, I guess I wrote my comment a little early.
Supertech is sold at Walmart. I do 2 cases online when there is a sale
Being a Costco employee for 30 years, I was very excited to see that we have our own line of full synthetic motor oil. Thank you for posting this awesome, informative video! Another excellent job by Project farm!

Agreed!
@@ProjectFarm 7:55 do you realize that you have just blown the minds of many car drivers here in Europe? Our car manufacturers claim the engine oil should be changed every 30.000 km (18.600 miles) - because of ecology? And many of these poor drivers do actually follow this "advice". The engines are clogged up very soon and a new car is needed because it is not worth to repair the poorly maintained engine with very often no more than 100.000km (60.000miles). I believe this the reason why we are suggested to use long life engine oils - sales of the new cars will be this way kept constant :) because their engines will not last long anyway :)
Not surprised with these results. I've been a member of Costco since way back in the early Price Club days and cannot think of one Kirkland brand product I've bought that I was not satisfied with. There one of the very few companies that seem to care about there customers and really try hard to take care of them. As always another great video.
Thanks!
I agree 100%!!!!!! They have great products, great prices and are always customer minded.
I like them as well but I also feel the Sams Club products are very good. I think some people are too into the Costco cult however and have found Sams to be a better value on some things. That said I'll be buying the Kirkland oil in the future.

I may not be wiping my ass for the next two weeks, but now I can rest assured that my engine is protected, and my trip to Costco was not in vain, even though they ran out of toilet paper.
Your reviews are the greatest
Thanks!
thanks for your time and dedication, just got kirkland oil for my 2015 Nissan Versa, very cheap I got 10 Qtz for $32. Now I feel safe and happy with my purchase.
Thanks for sharing.
Here’s a video idea! “Which wall stud finder is the best?”
www.amazon.com/ProSensor-710-Franklin-Sensors-Precision/dp/B0711JZS33/ or the cheaper Costco version
He's done that.
That's what she said. 😉
@@mikkry7525 No he has not. I just checked. You must be thinking of another channel that did a similar test.
Thanks for the video idea.
Warren makes excellent lubricants and have done so for many decades. Super Tech and Mag 1 are two of the most reliable and highest performing oil brands of Warren oils and you can't beat the prices. Warren probably puts the exact same oil in both ST and Kirkland bottles, the only difference being the labels. This is common practice in the lubricant industry and helps to keep cost (price) low due to economies of scale. Fantastic review -- keep up the great work!!
Yep, probably both brands are made by Warren.
I love the race description!
Thanks!
Thanks for the work you put into educating us all!
You are welcome!
The cooked oil in the coffee pots Look like the cooked coffee at Speedway gas stations.
Thanks for watching.
@@ProjectFarm L o L
Probably taste is similar too
Video idea.
Speedway coffee as a lubricant.
HAHA!..Hey Mike I Had Coffee Like That In My 🇺🇸Navy🚢 Years⚓..Any Left Was Used To Top Off Your Vehicle Dip Stick..👍
After your first video about the kirkland oil I bought some, nice to see this on top of the first one. Your comparison videos are, in my opinion, the best on the tube! Very ingenious testing with real world applications. Thanks so much for what you do!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for your hard work and for taking the guess out of choosing a motor oil.
You are welcome!
Great cold weather conditions race! Awesome video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks and you are welcome!
Bro I love your videos! You have influenced all of my oil and additive purchases for my truck. I have more faith in your videos than any hearsay/testimonials I've ever heard or will hear
Thank you!
Dude, if you believe that cheap oil will work same as a brand oil, you're in for a big surprise, I done few valve cover gaskets that customers claim to use this crap synthetic oil ,from Costco and believe me, walls and all moving parts just black, when they supposed to be like new when the regular oil changes are made, unfortunately we get to believe stuff like this, 😔, cheap oil is recycled oil, I think you can get same quality oil from your dollar store as the Kirkland's, use the recommended oil by your vehicle manufacturer, dont ever think cheap oil is good for your car. Mobil 1, pennzoil titanium, Quaker state, are good brands or anything over $28 bucks for a 5 qt jug and dont get the auto parts brand either, and stay away from that royal purple crap too, lol, I used to use recycled oil on my customers, but then I stop when I saw the results from the brand I use, which I recommend to my customers as I my self use on my personal and family members cars. Idemitsu is the brand but dont get it from internet lots of fakes claiming is the real deal , buy it from a local auto parts that sell it, hard to find at Auto parts, but some will carry and your car will thank you, 4 oil changes u will see dipstick coming out cleaner not black when u check the oil lvl before your start the 5th change
You are my favorite youtube channel. i always learn.thank you so much Project Farm
Actually had their names print labeled on cups, all in the details. Great Job!!!

Great test as always. I would consider using either one of these in my vehicle’s. Keep them coming!
Thanks, will do!
Dude, this is my favorite TH-cam channel. Thank you for what you do. Just the right length and packed with detail. Thank you.

Saving you 11 minutes: Yes, it's perfectly safe.
I was looking for this comment lol

Awesome if they sell 5w20 i will use it in my corolla i usually buy mobil 1 5 qt jug at wallys for 28 bucks.
