You know what would be cool, a Transmission Fluid test, electric cars also use this oil, Tesla uses Dextron 6 in it's gearbox and the Front and Rear Drive Units.
Very curious about this one, I drive a titan XD and everyone pushes amsoil for smoother shift, I tried it, seems a bit smoother but nothing to write home about. but I feel like amsoil is like the audiophiles, I can't tell you the difference but the guys that know what they are looking for do... So they say ha ha
@@ArchCityCraftsmanA rougher shift preserves the life of the clutch material. If the shift is smoother that means the clutches are slipping a tiny bit more and the life of the transmission will be a little shorter.
@@ProjectFarm it would be a little different, but you should test Wasp/hornet sprays. I never know what will work best, shoot furthest, foam most, and spray more
@@ProjectFarm If you are doing new Oil Testing. I'd love to see : Mobil 1 Extended Performance (non highmileage ) , Castrol Extended Performance against the Amsoil OE, XL & Signature Series Oils, and against Pennzoil Ultra Platinum & Royal Purple.
@@ProjectFarm so don't get me wrong, I loved the episode. But apples to apples, shouldn't it be say Honda auto oil vs Honda marine oil? It didn't surprise me that high a quality Pennzoil beat the Honda Marine. The Honda isn't synthetic, either. It DID do a better job at rust prevention. I don't know.......
Great timing! I was very fortunate to find the exact same Pennzoil motor oil at my local Walmart on clearance for $1.99 each quart. When I watch you do the flow test, I feel like I'm at a horse race. LOL Great video as always!

For walmart I think it would be best to use the new hart tools, walmart has pushed them pretty hard. They're owned by the same conglomerate that owns milwaukee, ridgid, and ryobi. I wouldn't rely on them professionally, but they're actually decent for a DIY level.
@@doctordev97 Given that they are TTI products, I think that might be a bit unfair. I think a rebranded Ryobi drill would wipe the floor with those other brands.
But we must also remember you’re usually not running a marine engine at extremely cold temps. I’d like to see an ambient/ average day temp viscosity test.
I'd be interested in seeing how normal car oil compares to motorcycle oil, especially since they usually don't add friction modifiers due to the wet clutches
It's rubbish, lasts a few miles before its beaten to death. I once put castrol magna tec in a Honda cb1000 and rode for 300 miles running it in. When I drained it out after 1500miles it was like black water. The gearbox cuts the oil up apparently, that's why you have gearbox oil and engine oil.
Realizing that it took a lot of time to do this test,I believe that's the most I've learned in 10 minutes and 10 seconds, you have a really great channel, Thanks! 🇺🇸
Your cold oil race narration was worth the watch all by itself. Thanks so much for keeping us informed - both from a product perspective and that of education. If you were a shop teacher, you would have the student's attention for sure - especially if you would load them into the farmbago racer.
If I were a student I would have raised my hand and asked why are you comparing apples or oranges? They duped everyone on here with a petroleum Honda marine oil vs a synthetic automotive oil. They should have been straight here and compared apples to apples, a synthetic marine oil with synthetic automotive oil.
Hey Brother. I know this is a shot in the dark that you would ever read this. I can only imagine all of us. Your fans. Would love to have you make a video of the process you go through to film your videos. It blows us away how thorough you are. How scientific you are with all of your tests and contraptions. I would give anything to watch a behind-the-scenes video of how you do things.
@@TheRCBasher69420 seriously! Could you imagine him filming a video about who he is. His name. What he does for a living. How he thinks about how to do all of these tests. I think he is absolutely brilliant. And I wish we could know him a little bit better
@@brianstauffacher ikr I just want to know what he does whilst waiting to say for this test when he was switching the pots if oil round on the hob what was he doing in the meantime was he going on his phone or doing odd jobs around the shop and like you I too would love to know what he does
I will say that my Honda Bf75 4 stroke outboard doesn't run nearly as hot as an automobile engine which may explain the difference in the evaporative test. Most automobile engine coolant temperatures are going to be 195 Fahrenheit or above, even pushing my 20 foot pontoon in the summer and 80 degree water it's rare for me to see 160 degrees on the gauge even after running 5500 rpm for hours
@@countryfamilyalways7280 I don't run that Honda oil, I believe the last change was quicksilver or Pennzoil marine, I was just saying that temperatures may be a small variable, still a poor showing from Honda OEM oil
@@kygunworks4982 I agree with you and I don't have a boat YET but am looking so appreciate your knowledge on the subject. Yah there has to be better oil then that Honda with that result. A automotive oil that comes to mind that might out do that Honda is Amsoil ZROD as it has high AW additives better then regular car oils, long lasting corrosion inhibitors, amsoil says about 2 years because people store classic cars so they made it that way and I'd bet it has better noack and or evap results then Honda oil. But on a second thought I'd bet Pennzoils marine oil might have better results also idk...
Hey Project Farm, hope you're having a great Sunday! Thanks for all the dedication you put in your videos and hope you receive due compensation for it 😁
Test Idea I'm a woodworker and I believe that you probably have many woodworkers subscribing to your channel. Blades for planers and jointers are expensive to replace and they don't last very long. There are several different options all the way up to a helical insert type. Many people have the dewalt dw735 planer. It's considered a bit of an industry standard. Power consumption is also a big concern for using a planer and blades contribute quite a bit to load. One last item would be to see if there is a way to sharpen these blades with a commercially available tool. Lots of guys make home made fixtures and use sandpaper. I haven't seen anything commercial to do that task. Great channel. Probably my favorite channel of all. Extremely informative and very well done.
I might have an interesting one for you... Angle grinder steel cutting discs! I work as a welder and it seems like there's a big difference in performance, like wear, stability, cutting speed, and so on
@@ProjectFarm I second this suggestion! Would love to see some of the Harbor Freight cutting discs up against some of the top dollar 3M etc. on some thick tough steel. I've also heard that the thin cutting discs are better, but maybe don't last as long?
Love to see a comparison between the old oil bath air filters vs paper filters. I read alot on the internet about how much better the paper is but I'm not so sure. Our old tractors all had oil bath and operated in severe dusty conditions and lasted many , many years between rebuilds. Thanks. Your video's are the best!
Yeah, I'm not sure. I remember a high school shop teacher explained to the class how the oil bath filters worked and told us they would filter out smaller micron particles and were less restrictive. I totally agree with you that paper elements would have been plugged very quickly.
I would love to see an episode based on everyday carry (EDC) pocket knives! Could cover edge retention, lock strength, handle durability, and ease of maintenance plus other stuff too. Brands like Case, Kershaw, Coldsteel, etc. Maybe throw in a kitchen knife as a control.
I'd like to see a comparison between regular stabil and marine stabil. It seems like the marine is more concentrated and is cheaper per oz required but I don't know if you can use it in a regular vehicle.
I always viewed Stabil marine (blue) as a treatment to use when you can't get ethanol-free gas. I only use ethanol-free and have always used red. Would like to get confirmation on this too.
thank you, I really liked this episode, especially the sports-like commentation on the oil race, I was very much laughing. i have noticed over the past few episodes some sort of new easter eggs that are fun and funny, and I really like looking for them, you not only are properly helping us, but you are making it a good time, you deserve all the praise and respect there is, and I hope those videos will keep coming, since I already eagerly await every new one.
574.55 degrees Kelvin and Fahrenheit are the same temperature. At -614.55 the Rankine and Celsius scales cross, but that is and impossible temperature because it is below absolute zero. What will they think of next? 🤔
Video Suggestion! Window tint, ceramic vs non, heat rejection values, and do certain brands really block as much light as they claim. Also those sun visors you put in your windshield. Worth it to get the weather tech or do the cheapo parts store foldable ones do just as good?
You have to be the most thorough tester ever! I’d love to see you test Sweet Project Car’s magic oil blend (he has a video with a special concoction of like 4 different oils)!
@@Son_Of_Atreides I would love to hear Greg Woods commentating all of the "events" of one of these comparison videos, from the cold oil race to the endurance "heats" of the high temperature test.
Great test. Marine engines tend to run cooler even at high load as the engine is constantly exchanging heat with the relatively cool river/sea water which will be more effective at removing heat than recirculating the same hot coolant in a loop through an air-cooled radiator. ...that might explain the lower flashpoint of the marine oil.
Was just about to say this. An unlimited supply of 40-80 degree water will keep an engine very cool even under full load conditions. It’s also why marinized car/truck engines often make more power in boats than in a car/truck. No heat issues.
For that reason people shouldn’t pay all that extra money for marine oil, regular oil will do the exact same job if not better, and that’s what I use in my mercruiser every season for the last 7 years without a problem, an engine is an engine no matter where you use it IMO
Not so sure it runs cooler, it still has a thermostat that controls the temperature. As long as the thermostat and water pump are working, there should never be overheating though. The closed loop of a automotive engine makes for more possibility of overheating though.
As usual you've level-up again; I love how scientific your videos are. Thanks for making the oil race much more exciting to watch than it would have otherwise been. :)
So scientific that they duped everyone on here with a petroleum marine oil vs a synthetic automotive oil. They should have been straight here and compared synthetic marine oil with synthetic automotive oil.
The thing is most marine engines run water cooling straight from the lake so they typically do not get very hot. They also rarely are run in the winter. They do take a pounding though, so the foaming test is important... as well as the friction.
Often their intakes get plugged with vegetation causing high temps and engine shut down. If radiatior is working properly on vehicle motors, their operating engine temps would be the same as marine motors as both have thermostats with similar operating temps.
@@CAN43725 But that is a maintenance issue. You could also have temp issues if your impellor starts to fail. I don't tend to think about that much because my dad was meticulous about proper maintenance, repairs, and winterizations on his boats over the years. I found it tedious myself and only had a boat for 3 years before selling it for more than I bought it for.
Lake? Is that Lake Pacific or Lake Atlantic? Saltwater boats (that want to last) don't use raw water cooling. And those are the ones using 'car motors' or bigger. (IB or IB/OB)
Would love to see a diesel oil shoot out including cheap stuff like super tech, conventional vs. synthetic and specialty oils for old trucks like power driven diesel (with zddp).
Agree. Delo 15w40 has been my go-to diesel oil for ages. I've bought hundreds of gallons of that stuff over the years.. No complaints, and it's super common at fuel docks, but would be interesting to see it relative to say Rotella or others.
I would like to propose two different items for comparison and testing. 1) Electric 1/4 sheet sanders. I just bought a $13 Walmart brand to get me by until I make sure of what I want; I was straight dewalt until I found this channel. 2) Although I have seen your oil comparisons, I have recently discovered a straight 30w synthetic oil for small 4 cycle engines and boasts that it can be used year around down to -30, branded Triax. Included in my last order was a booklet/brochure that boasts of very high anti wear and anti corrosive additives that are almost unbelievable. Including HST, gear, and automatic transmission fluids.
no. the big tests that are important here for marine oil specifically was the anti corrosion/rust and the anti wear at rpm. Think about this, boats deal with much more moisture than any car will just due to operational environment. The corrosion resistance is important. Additionally, boats don't have multiple transmission gears to reduce engine rpm in use.. and so over their useful life see a lot more high rpm. while at a constant speed the marine oil 'only' performed 3% better, the ** about that is when you look at the regular use cases, the marine oil with less wear will make a much larger difference in the long run.
@@SuperWaterskiboy You are correct. Specially if you use 2 stroke gasoline engine. I mix my own gasoline to my mariner, usually shell v power and around 2.5-3% marine oil. runs much better than regular 95.
Dear Todd, every Sunday we are looking forward for your new video, great job as usually (i personally like more videos with tools). I would like to ask your educational background, for sure much be in technical field....
I freaking love these oil tests!!! This is genuinely a question I've asked before why is marine oil so much more expensive than regular oil, is it really better?
This was a bad test, Honda petroleum based marine oil vs a full synthetic automotive oil. An apples to apples comparison would have been synthetic marine to synthetic automotive.
This was some great information. I'd love to see the test repeated against a high quality diesel oil like Rotella T6 as a test for use in a boat since that is a common marine oil substitute.
@@TheGuruStud rotella t6 5w40 still is a great motorcycle oil alternative. I find it to be superior to the original Kawasaki 10W 40 motorcycle oil I have used before in my 2018 Z650
Video Suggestion: Best battery powered ratchet. Makita have released a 18V version and I'd love to see how that compares against the SnapOn, Milwaukee and also Makitas own 12v version.
I’m glad I bet on the Penzoil to win … I really enjoyed this episode and the thorough investigation and consideration of the many factors involved …and the Motor Oil Derby ….Touché…
For the millionth time: best channel on YT. In light of all the grease vids, do a degreaser comparison with heavy hitters like Oileater, Zep, Krud, etc. And throw in some Dawn. We have to clean up our mess, right?
@@rico76 I personally use Oileater. Bought a 55g drum about 6 yrs ago that I'm still using. It's biodegradable. Can be used around food areas. Clear. Smells great. I can't say if it's expensive, or not because it's worth whatever I paid. It's that good! They have a dilution chart on their website. I was cleaning dill pipe and casing threads using a 10:1, and thought it could be cut a little more. Tractor Supply should still carry the gallons and bottles.
I'd really like to see you do a test of those sprayed or brushed on coatings, similar to paint, that dry to a mirror finish. They're usually a chrome, copper or polished gold finish. I'm hesitant to try them because they can be expensive and seem a little bit too good to be true.
Love your videos! Watching this one, I'm curious what the results would be comparing a marine oil to an automobive oil made by the same company, as perhaps the additive packages MIGHT be along a similar formula.
I think many folks here missed the fact that they compared a petroleum based oil with a synthetic. a marine synthetic vs automotive synthetic would have been a more accurate comparison. Their test was like doing a "who can lift more weight a man or a woman" experiment then being surprised when its the man.
Todd, should one use the automotive engine oils for marine applications since the marine oils costs are 3 times more expensive? Keep up the good work!! If the AW package is a bit of concern, you can change it a little early! What are your thoughts?
I'd say depends on the car engine oil your talking about.... You can find car oil that has very high AW additives like for example Amsoil ZROD that also has long lasting antirust and id bet would do better then that Honda oil evap result...
It's probably a case of not much interest in marine oil development cause you can sell anything with marine on it for three times the cost. Not much different than the "special" John Deere or Caterpillar conventional oil they sell for more than the price of full synthetic diesel truck oil. If it was me I'd probably just run a high quality automotive synthetic and change it frequently.
@@countryfamilyalways7280 Shure it depands on the quality of the oil there is a huge gap between different car oil. A car engine run rarely above 2000rpm at normal daily driving boat engine run often at 5000rpm. So oil run 2,5time more cycles trough the engine means more mechanicle stress for the oil. Evaporation isnt a problem for boats because cooling is way easier when you are sourrounded by water. Same with cold temperatur, it doesnt apply for boats. High quality car oil is probably similar to low quality boat oil, but you dont safe money in this comperason. Sorry for my bad english, I am a little drunk.
You can use higher levels of zinc as well as other antiwear additives in marine engines. No catalytic converters. Also evaporation at high temperatures is not as critical for marine engines since even running hard they are far cooler than automotive engines. Even when using a water to water heat exchanger they still cool the exhaust manifolds so the head and exhaust valves transfer more heat and stay cooler. The boats I run nearshore or on lakes I have used automotive oil changed often. I don't run for hours non stop under those conditions. When running offshore boats I always use marine oils. Besides..warranty, warranty, warranty lol
I’ve been looking for a reference that explains what each oil additive like moly, boron, calcium does. Do you know all these from experience or do you have a guide you refer to. THANKS!
Massive Thanks again!! All the time, editing and attention to detail is not over looked! Todd, for a "real" test please use Amsoil Marine Oil. Let's use the brand that came out #1 in the Oil Showdown! OR test Marine Oils against each other! That's the ticket!
the coffee pot burn off test showing how oils vaporize under heat is a perfect visual representation to show people that an engine doesnt necessarily have to be "burning" oil or a bad engine for oil levels to go down and why you should periodically check your oil... as always good stuff and thank you!
If an engine has spots hot enough to cook off a substantial amount of oil between changes its going to sludge up prety fast. Gm 3.6 and ford turbo 4 cyl are bad about cooking the oil off and destroying the engine. If you cange the oil at 3000 miles they last a long time but stretch that out to 5000-7000 like they recomend and they just sludge up before they hit 100000 miles.
Why would anyone use a conventional (non-synthetic) motor oil in 2021? You can get a 5-quart container of Group III synthetic for about $16 from Walmart, Amazon, or Costco.
It doesn't say synthetic on the bottle that I can see, so I would assume that it's not. Honda's full synthetic and synthetic blend car oils say so on the bottle.
@@averyalexander2303 From what I read about these new marine oils is that most of them are conventional or synthetic blends, and not full synthetics (not even Group III full synthetics).
FourStroke (10W-30) Outboard Oil (Mercury) Specifically formulated and developed to meet the needs of all four-stroke outboard engines. Developed for the rigors of the marine environment. Industry-leading corrosion protection. Features premium-grade synthetic and mineral-based stocks with specially designed marine grade additives not required in automotive oils.

Rigorously tested to guarantee warranty protection for Mercury and Mariner four-stroke outboards.
@@bhess1212 the coldest you will be running a boat is at 0 degrees F. If it's colder than that salt water turns to ice. The ships that do run in those conditions (icebreakers, larger fishing or commercial boats, don't start the engines except at the beginning of the trip and may not shut down for weeks. Also you don't start stop start marine engines when you're running anywhere near as often as you do an automotive engine in general.
Liked your comment enough that I thought I'd take the time to recommend Jeremy's newest show on Amazon Prime, Clarkson Farm. Really interesting take on farming by a newbie. After seeing what he spent on farm equipment, we looked up his net worth ($50M), and promptly stopped worrying about it. Also interesting that he had a perfect Work From Home job, and he admitted farming was a crap shoot as most don't have Amazon helping foot their bills. Hope it comes back for a Season 2. Also it was funny as his helper doesn't take any of Jeremy's crap and gives it right back to him :)
@@boots7859 Yes, I've seen that show listed. I'll have to take a look. I enjoyed the latest Grand Tour episode, too. Really miss the BBC Top Gear with Clarkson, May and Hammond. I've never laughed harder than when watching those three together!
Project Farm: "We're gonna test to see which oil is be-" Ferrari F1: "Gimme!" Project Farm: "But I didn't even start the test yet." Ferrari F1: "We have too much money."
There is some truth to this, by the way. Ferrari's Formula 1 team receives a lot of money that they aren't allowed to directly spend on improving their car's performance due to recently implemented cost restrictions. Ferrari has actually been struggling to find other useful ways to spend their money.
Yeah, big surprise, A full synthetic oil out performed a petroleum based oil.... duh , this has been known for 40 years. Totally unnecessary experiment. They should have done synthetic marine vs synthetic auto if they wanted to compare apples to apples.
I started putting Mobil 1 in a number of small outboards. Worked at least as well for me, a lot cheaper, oil lab tests looked good. I would like to see a showdown of consumer grade leaf blowers, particularly big box store backpack units. Great channel. Thanks.
I find myself watching every one of your videos whether I am in need of the tested item/s or not. Your thorough and “”to the point” comparisons are fantastic. With firewood season approaching, I would like to see a review on moisture meters. I recently purchased one but only having the one, I have no real comparison to know if it’s accurate. A review from PF would be great. I have always followed your results and have never been disappointed.
Great EP :) I would not mind seeing you do a oil mixing test, mixing the best synthetics to see if they dilute or improve some properties, mixing the best with the worst too, and then making a super mix of all the oils and sending it off to a lab to see what the report shows, Keep up the good work.
It's really amazing boat engines last like they do. I have a 350 that pushes a "dry weight" boat of 6600 pounds. Sustained RPM of 3200 to 4000 to stay on plane depending on load. Doesn't miss a beat. I was bummed you didn't use Mercury oil in your test but love the content.
My TH-cam queue is backed up so I'm a little late to getting around to this video but superb as always! Also, congrats on hitting 2 million subscribers! Well deserved :)
Right on par Todd. You bring that extra bit of humanity back into my life with your videos. I thank you for your kind and attention to detail, your objectives and the effort you put in without support other than that of Patreons. You are indeed what we need right now. Regarding all your oil testing, of which ones would relate to diesel engines? This is a test if not already done I would be very interested in. My 30 years in the Australian Army, they only used one type of oil, something labelled OMD110. The omd being for oil mineral detergent, now I have my own diesel vehicle for towing purposes I only like to use the best wherever possible. We do have an Australian brand, Penrite, who make some interesting types that may also peak your interest 😉 worth a look on the ol interweb Lol. Again, thank you so much for making so much difference to my life, I feel that in some ways your videos also help me with my ptsd. If I feel that I am in a slump, I do many things to try and lift my day, but your non political and no agenda type of format other than research and results always lift me a level or three. 😇😇😇
I would have rather seen a synthetic marine oil vs synthetic automotive oil. this test compared Honda petroleum based oil with full synthetic automotive... not a good comparison unless you are trying to sell Pennzoil to a bunch of duped boaters.
@@ProjectFarm No, Thank you! I Love seeing all these products being put to the test. It really helps determine if the high dollar products are worth the extra money or are you just paying for the brand name. Also, what happened to the Farmabagoo? Is it still tearing down tree branches/limbs? lol

They should have been straight here and compared apples to apples, a synthetic marine oil with synthetic automotive oil.
Oh dang! I’m not used to seeing only two things on the table.
lol. Great point!
Hey Brother. I know this is a shot in the dark that you would ever read this. I can only imagine all of us. Your fans. Would love to have you make a video of the process you go through to film your videos. It blows us away how thorough you are. How scientific you are with all of your tests and contraptions. I would give anything to watch a behind-the-scenes video of how you do things.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Same so would I
@@TheRCBasher69420 seriously! Could you imagine him filming a video about who he is. His name. What he does for a living. How he thinks about how to do all of these tests. I think he is absolutely brilliant. And I wish we could know him a little bit better
@@brianstauffacher ikr I just want to know what he does whilst waiting to say for this test when he was switching the pots if oil round on the hob what was he doing in the meantime was he going on his phone or doing odd jobs around the shop and like you I too would love to know what he does
That's a great price for any full synthetic
I will say that my Honda Bf75 4 stroke outboard doesn't run nearly as hot as an automobile engine which may explain the difference in the evaporative test. Most automobile engine coolant temperatures are going to be 195 Fahrenheit or above, even pushing my 20 foot pontoon in the summer and 80 degree water it's rare for me to see 160 degrees on the gauge even after running 5500 rpm for hours
Great point! Thank you
Very good information to add to this discussion!
With that being said I still would like to find a better marine oil then that Honda marine oil because that evap result didn't look good at all....
@@countryfamilyalways7280 I don't run that Honda oil, I believe the last change was quicksilver or Pennzoil marine, I was just saying that temperatures may be a small variable, still a poor showing from Honda OEM oil
@@kygunworks4982 I agree with you and I don't have a boat YET but am looking so appreciate your knowledge on the subject.
Yah there has to be better oil then that Honda with that result.
A automotive oil that comes to mind that might out do that Honda is Amsoil ZROD as it has high AW additives better then regular car oils, long lasting corrosion inhibitors, amsoil says about 2 years because people store classic cars so they made it that way and I'd bet it has better noack and or evap results then Honda oil.
But on a second thought I'd bet Pennzoils marine oil might have better results also idk...
Just awesome work Project Farm! What would you say has been the best oil so far
Hey Project Farm, hope you're having a great Sunday! Thanks for all the dedication you put in your videos and hope you receive due compensation for it 😁
Thank you very much and I wish you a great Sunday too!
The oil race was so much more exciting than it should have been 🤣
Great results!

Test Idea
I'm a woodworker and I believe that you probably have many woodworkers subscribing to your channel. Blades for planers and jointers are expensive to replace and they don't last very long. There are several different options all the way up to a helical insert type. Many people have the dewalt dw735 planer. It's considered a bit of an industry standard. Power consumption is also a big concern for using a planer and blades contribute quite a bit to load. One last item would be to see if there is a way to sharpen these blades with a commercially available tool. Lots of guys make home made fixtures and use sandpaper. I haven't seen anything commercial to do that task.
Great channel. Probably my favorite channel of all. Extremely informative and very well done.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I might have an interesting one for you... Angle grinder steel cutting discs!
I work as a welder and it seems like there's a big difference in performance, like wear, stability, cutting speed, and so on
Thanks for the suggestion.
@@ProjectFarm I second this suggestion! Would love to see some of the Harbor Freight cutting discs up against some of the top dollar 3M etc. on some thick tough steel.
I've also heard that the thin cutting discs are better, but maybe don't last as long?
Google 'project farm angle grinder disks' he's tested grinders, cutters, and flap disks
Love to see a comparison between the old oil bath air filters vs paper filters. I read alot on the internet about how much better the paper is but I'm not so sure. Our old tractors all had oil bath and operated in severe dusty conditions and lasted many
, many years between rebuilds. Thanks. Your video's are the best!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Yeah, I'm not sure. I remember a high school shop teacher explained to the class how the oil bath filters worked and told us they would filter out smaller micron particles and were less restrictive. I totally agree with you that paper elements would have been plugged very quickly.
Yes and all air filters in general.
I would love to see an episode based on everyday carry (EDC) pocket knives! Could cover edge retention, lock strength, handle durability, and ease of maintenance plus other stuff too. Brands like Case, Kershaw, Coldsteel, etc. Maybe throw in a kitchen knife as a control.

My friend use marine 2 stroke oil in his bike and he said that bike performed better
@@Islandwaterjet HHO project? 🤔
@@alfrescrow Not a great idea. Marine 2 stroke oil is designed for much lower operating temperatures.
I always viewed Stabil marine (blue) as a treatment to use when you can't get ethanol-free gas. I only use ethanol-free and have always used red. Would like to get confirmation on this too.
thank you, I really liked this episode, especially the sports-like commentation on the oil race, I was very much laughing.
i have noticed over the past few episodes some sort of new easter eggs that are fun and funny, and I really like looking for them, you not only are properly helping us, but you are making it a good time, you deserve all the praise and respect there is, and I hope those videos will keep coming, since I already eagerly await every new one.
Thanks, will do!
5:28 For anybody wondering, -40c is functionally the same as -40f.
Yes, thank you
Yes, the only time both F and C are the same. Good point...captjack..
574.55 degrees Kelvin and Fahrenheit are the same temperature.
At -614.55 the Rankine and Celsius scales cross, but that is and impossible temperature because it is below absolute zero.
What will they think of next? 🤔
Great work as always! I would love to see a test between Yamalube Marine Oil vs Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5-30.
Great job as always. And Blackstone does a great job, I've been using there data analysis for a decade on all my vehicles.

There's nothing quite like Todd calling a cold oil race play by play. I'll watch his oil races over any other race any day
I was wondering if I had switched over to the Marble League 5 meter race. Felt like I was listening to Greg Woods.
Thank you very much!
@@Son_Of_Atreides I would love to hear Greg Woods commentating all of the "events" of one of these comparison videos, from the cold oil race to the endurance "heats" of the high temperature test.

Testing oil is a lot of fun! Thank you!
Every time you do a cold oil flow test, you remind me of sports play-by-play commentator. You'll be good at it. Love it.
Thanks!
This guy is so consistent someone should test the audio differences in all the times he said "and the cooked penzoil"
I do love the oil/fluid tests. Glad it's happened again
Thanks!
Great test.
Marine engines tend to run cooler even at high load as the engine is constantly exchanging heat with the relatively cool river/sea water which will be more effective at removing heat than recirculating the same hot coolant in a loop through an air-cooled radiator.
...that might explain the lower flashpoint of the marine oil.
Was just about to say this. An unlimited supply of 40-80 degree water will keep an engine very cool even under full load conditions. It’s also why marinized car/truck engines often make more power in boats than in a car/truck. No heat issues.
For that reason people shouldn’t pay all that extra money for marine oil, regular oil will do the exact same job if not better, and that’s what I use in my mercruiser every season for the last 7 years without a problem, an engine is an engine no matter where you use it IMO
That's a good point when I run my motor in a trash can the water temp goes up to like 150f and it runs like ass
Not so sure it runs cooler, it still has a thermostat that controls the temperature. As long as the thermostat and water pump are working, there should never be overheating though. The closed loop of a automotive engine makes for more possibility of overheating though.
Thanks for the feedback.
Would be interesting to do a showdown and comparison of oils designed for Diesel,gas,LPG seeing the difference in the oil qualities
As usual you've level-up again; I love how scientific your videos are. Thanks for making the oil race much more exciting to watch than it would have otherwise been. :)
You are welcome!
So scientific that they duped everyone on here with a petroleum marine oil vs a synthetic automotive oil. They should have been straight here and compared synthetic marine oil with synthetic automotive oil.
The thing is most marine engines run water cooling straight from the lake so they typically do not get very hot. They also rarely are run in the winter. They do take a pounding though, so the foaming test is important... as well as the friction.
they do long high rpms and storage
Thanks for the feedback.
Often their intakes get plugged with vegetation causing high temps and engine shut down. If radiatior is working properly on vehicle motors, their operating engine temps would be the same as marine motors as both have thermostats with similar operating temps.
@@CAN43725 But that is a maintenance issue. You could also have temp issues if your impellor starts to fail. I don't tend to think about that much because my dad was meticulous about proper maintenance, repairs, and winterizations on his boats over the years. I found it tedious myself and only had a boat for 3 years before selling it for more than I bought it for.
Lake? Is that Lake Pacific or Lake Atlantic? Saltwater boats (that want to last) don't use raw water cooling. And those are the ones using 'car motors' or bigger. (IB or IB/OB)
Would love to see a diesel oil shoot out including cheap stuff like super tech, conventional vs. synthetic and specialty oils for old trucks like power driven diesel (with zddp).
My old 92 Mercury Sable with the 3.8 V6 loved Rotella 15w40.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Agree. Delo 15w40 has been my go-to diesel oil for ages. I've bought hundreds of gallons of that stuff over the years.. No complaints, and it's super common at fuel docks, but would be interesting to see it relative to say Rotella or others.
I'd love this as well. Throw Shaffer's and rotella t6 in there too
@@RyanEvansrifi I believe he did a T4 vs T6 already
I’ve never heard of marine oil. This is going to be interesting, let’s get started. That was enjoyable. Thanks
You are welcome!
It is 15% more, like everything 'marine'.
@@eddiefoy3701 is that 15 or 50% more
I would like to propose two different items for comparison and testing. 1) Electric 1/4 sheet sanders. I just bought a $13 Walmart brand to get me by until I make sure of what I want; I was straight dewalt until I found this channel.
2) Although I have seen your oil comparisons, I have recently discovered a straight 30w synthetic oil for small 4 cycle engines and boasts that it can be used year around down to -30, branded Triax. Included in my last order was a booklet/brochure that boasts of very high anti wear and anti corrosive additives that are almost unbelievable. Including HST, gear, and automatic transmission fluids.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Woohoo! A new motor oil vid!
Keep up the amazing work!
How about a hacksaw showdown?
Great suggestion!
Do a video on the different brands and styles "wipe on and such" of polyurethane for wood.
Thanks for the suggestion!
After watching and seeing the results, the reverse question might be - "Should boat owners upgrade to car oil?"
Honda won the important tests for marine engines
Agreed! That is the real question
Most boaters use car-oil. They know anything branded "marine" is just a ploy to charge more.
no. the big tests that are important here for marine oil specifically was the anti corrosion/rust and the anti wear at rpm.
Think about this, boats deal with much more moisture than any car will just due to operational environment. The corrosion resistance is important.
Additionally, boats don't have multiple transmission gears to reduce engine rpm in use.. and so over their useful life see a lot more high rpm. while at a constant speed the marine oil 'only' performed 3% better, the ** about that is when you look at the regular use cases, the marine oil with less wear will make a much larger difference in the long run.
@@SuperWaterskiboy You are correct. Specially if you use 2 stroke gasoline engine. I mix my own gasoline to my mariner, usually shell v power and around 2.5-3% marine oil. runs much better than regular 95.
Hey Project Farm, what I would love to see is efficacy of different dishwashing liquids, particularly their de-greasing abilities.
Great suggestion! Thank you.
Dear Todd, every Sunday we are looking forward for your new video, great job as usually (i personally like more videos with tools). I would like to ask your educational background, for sure much be in technical field....
I freaking love these oil tests!!! This is genuinely a question I've asked before why is marine oil so much more expensive than regular oil, is it really better?
Thanks!
Probably just more expensive to make - less demand.
@@dudeguybro Good point.
This was a bad test, Honda petroleum based marine oil vs a full synthetic automotive oil. An apples to apples comparison would have been synthetic marine to synthetic automotive.
This was some great information. I'd love to see the test repeated against a high quality diesel oil like Rotella T6 as a test for use in a boat since that is a common marine oil substitute.
I’d also like to see a marine vs rotella. I have been using both.
Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.
Shell cut the additive package years ago.
@@TheGuruStud rotella t6 5w40 still is a great motorcycle oil alternative. I find it to be superior to the original Kawasaki 10W 40 motorcycle oil I have used before in my 2018 Z650

I’m glad I bet on the Penzoil to win … I really enjoyed this episode and the thorough investigation and consideration of the many factors involved …and the Motor Oil Derby ….Touché…
Thanks!
For the millionth time: best channel on YT. In light of all the grease vids, do a degreaser comparison with heavy hitters like Oileater, Zep, Krud, etc. And throw in some Dawn. We have to clean up our mess, right?
Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.
I'd like to see this too! Are the more expensive cleaners really that much better?!
@@rico76 I personally use Oileater. Bought a 55g drum about 6 yrs ago that I'm still using. It's biodegradable. Can be used around food areas. Clear. Smells great. I can't say if it's expensive, or not because it's worth whatever I paid. It's that good! They have a dilution chart on their website. I was cleaning dill pipe and casing threads using a 10:1, and thought it could be cut a little more. Tractor Supply should still carry the gallons and bottles.
Another great video! Of course, at this point, I expect nothing less from your channel. Always looking forward to what will come next!
Thank you very much!
I'd really like to see you do a test of those sprayed or brushed on coatings, similar to paint, that dry to a mirror finish. They're usually a chrome, copper or polished gold finish.
I'm hesitant to try them because they can be expensive and seem a little bit too good to be true.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Guy at the oil lab: "Oh my god, now what?"
made me lol
Love your videos! Watching this one, I'm curious what the results would be comparing a marine oil to an automobive oil made by the same company, as perhaps the additive packages MIGHT be along a similar formula.
Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.
@@ProjectFarm dude you used natural honda marine. vs sythetic penzoil.
I think many folks here missed the fact that they compared a petroleum based oil with a synthetic. a marine synthetic vs automotive synthetic would have been a more accurate comparison. Their test was like doing a "who can lift more weight a man or a woman" experiment then being surprised when its the man.
the play by play of the oil race is what im here for
Todd, should one use the automotive engine oils for marine applications since the marine oils costs are 3 times more expensive? Keep up the good work!! If the AW package is a bit of concern, you can change it a little early! What are your thoughts?
I wouldnt car engine run below 20% of the peak power while you drive around.
A boat run at 100% for many hour.
To boat oil is probably more stable.
I'd say depends on the car engine oil your talking about....
You can find car oil that has very high AW additives like for example Amsoil ZROD that also has long lasting antirust and id bet would do better then that Honda oil evap result...
It's probably a case of not much interest in marine oil development cause you can sell anything with marine on it for three times the cost. Not much different than the "special" John Deere or Caterpillar conventional oil they sell for more than the price of full synthetic diesel truck oil. If it was me I'd probably just run a high quality automotive synthetic and change it frequently.
@@countryfamilyalways7280 Shure it depands on the quality of the oil there is a huge gap between different car oil.
A car engine run rarely above 2000rpm at normal daily driving boat engine run often at 5000rpm. So oil run 2,5time more cycles trough the engine means more mechanicle stress for the oil.
Evaporation isnt a problem for boats because cooling is way easier when you are sourrounded by water.
Same with cold temperatur, it doesnt apply for boats.
High quality car oil is probably similar to low quality boat oil, but you dont safe money in this comperason.
Sorry for my bad english, I am a little drunk.
You can use higher levels of zinc as well as other antiwear additives in marine engines. No catalytic converters. Also evaporation at high temperatures is not as critical for marine engines since even running hard they are far cooler than automotive engines. Even when using a water to water heat exchanger they still cool the exhaust manifolds so the head and exhaust valves transfer more heat and stay cooler.
The boats I run nearshore or on lakes I have used automotive oil changed often. I don't run for hours non stop under those conditions. When running offshore boats I always use marine oils. Besides..warranty, warranty, warranty lol
Wish u put high performance motorcycle oil in the test too
Great suggestion for a future video!
I agree
I’ve been looking for a reference that explains what each oil additive like moly, boron, calcium does. Do you know all these from experience or do you have a guide you refer to. THANKS!
I like it when he reads out the list of benefi...challenges on the product labels.
Massive Thanks again!! All the time, editing and attention to detail is not over looked!
Todd, for a "real" test please use Amsoil Marine Oil. Let's use the brand that came out #1 in the Oil Showdown! OR test Marine Oils against each other! That's the ticket!
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
the coffee pot burn off test showing how oils vaporize under heat is a perfect visual representation to show people that an engine doesnt necessarily have to be "burning" oil or a bad engine for oil levels to go down and why you should periodically check your oil... as always good stuff and thank you!
If an engine has spots hot enough to cook off a substantial amount of oil between changes its going to sludge up prety fast. Gm 3.6 and ford turbo 4 cyl are bad about cooking the oil off and destroying the engine. If you cange the oil at 3000 miles they last a long time but stretch that out to 5000-7000 like they recomend and they just sludge up before they hit 100000 miles.
You are welcome!
Could someone please explain the text on the screen at 3:36? I don’t get where the 200g came from.
Oh I think I get it. The difference must be the weight of the coffee pot.
Is the Honda marine oil conventional or synthetic? It would be a good idea to test it against another conventional 10w-30 for a more full comparison
Why would anyone use a conventional (non-synthetic) motor oil in 2021? You can get a 5-quart container of Group III synthetic for about $16 from Walmart, Amazon, or Costco.
It doesn't say synthetic on the bottle that I can see, so I would assume that it's not. Honda's full synthetic and synthetic blend car oils say so on the bottle.
@@averyalexander2303 From what I read about these new marine oils is that most of them are conventional or synthetic blends, and not full synthetics (not even Group III full synthetics).
@@mark9118 Mercury outboard 4 stroke oil stated as synthetics, it should be synthetics because changes ones a year

Liked your comment enough that I thought I'd take the time to recommend Jeremy's newest show on Amazon Prime, Clarkson Farm. Really interesting take on farming by a newbie. After seeing what he spent on farm equipment, we looked up his net worth ($50M), and promptly stopped worrying about it. Also interesting that he had a perfect Work From Home job, and he admitted farming was a crap shoot as most don't have Amazon helping foot their bills. Hope it comes back for a Season 2. Also it was funny as his helper doesn't take any of Jeremy's crap and gives it right back to him :)

There is some truth to this, by the way. Ferrari's Formula 1 team receives a lot of money that they aren't allowed to directly spend on improving their car's performance due to recently implemented cost restrictions. Ferrari has actually been struggling to find other useful ways to spend their money.
I could help them with that. Maybe they could fully restore a 1984 308 GTS Quattrovalvole and give that to me :)

Yeah, big surprise, A full synthetic oil out performed a petroleum based oil.... duh , this has been known for 40 years. Totally unnecessary experiment. They should have done synthetic marine vs synthetic auto if they wanted to compare apples to apples.
I started putting Mobil 1 in a number of small outboards. Worked at least as well for me, a lot cheaper, oil lab tests looked good. I would like to see a showdown of consumer grade leaf blowers, particularly big box store backpack units. Great channel. Thanks.

I find myself watching every one of your videos whether I am in need of the tested item/s or not. Your thorough and “”to the point” comparisons are fantastic. With firewood season approaching, I would like to see a review on moisture meters. I recently purchased one but only having the one, I have no real comparison to know if it’s accurate. A review from PF would be great. I have always followed your results and have never been disappointed.
Thanks for watching! Thanks for the video idea.
Great EP :) I would not mind seeing you do a oil mixing test, mixing the best synthetics to see if they dilute or improve some properties, mixing the best with the worst too, and then making a super mix of all the oils and sending it off to a lab to see what the report shows, Keep up the good work.

Right on par Todd. You bring that extra bit of humanity back into my life with your videos. I thank you for your kind and attention to detail, your objectives and the effort you put in without support other than that of Patreons. You are indeed what we need right now. Regarding all your oil testing, of which ones would relate to diesel engines? This is a test if not already done I would be very interested in. My 30 years in the Australian Army, they only used one type of oil, something labelled OMD110. The omd being for oil mineral detergent, now I have my own diesel vehicle for towing purposes I only like to use the best wherever possible. We do have an Australian brand, Penrite, who make some interesting types that may also peak your interest 😉 worth a look on the ol interweb Lol.
Again, thank you so much for making so much difference to my life, I feel that in some ways your videos also help me with my ptsd. If I feel that I am in a slump, I do many things to try and lift my day, but your non political and no agenda type of format other than research and results always lift me a level or three. 😇😇😇

I would have rather seen a synthetic marine oil vs synthetic automotive oil. this test compared Honda petroleum based oil with full synthetic automotive... not a good comparison unless you are trying to sell Pennzoil to a bunch of duped boaters.
The end was worth the watch! Not what I expected considering the additives the marine would need for the moisture issues.
