Microwave oven doesn't heat all the 5 liquids evenly if if they are put together. The way a microwave oven works is it heats up things which have more water content in them. That's why blood and Maple syrup heated up too much and the oils didn't.
Yes indeed the microwaves in the microwave are at the resonace frequency of water molequles and cause those to vibrate and therefore heat up. So liquids with less water like the differend kinds of oil heat up less.
Engine oil staying cooler in the microwave oven has nothing to do with "dealing better with heat." The 2.45GHz frequency of microwave magnetrons was picked for its relatively strong interaction with water molecules commonly present in food. The low-moisture fluids stay cooler simply because they don't absorb anywhere near as much energy.
Yeah, as soon as I saw them microwave the fluids I cringed a little. They should have like if anything boiled water and then put containers containing the fluids in the boiling water and bring them to the desired temperature.
If you try cooking with maple syrup on a high heat it basically makes smoke. It would be real bad in an engine, it heats up fast and burns. The smell would also be pretty bad after like 10 seconds of weird/good.
I think top gear used syrup and it didn’t work that well. They used syrup lube and lard. The lube like immediately burnt out the syrup didn’t last much longer and lard got the one guy to his destination
It was a water based syrup not one from a tree. I was disappointed in that decision. They said it smelled like a waffle house. I could not find the clip.
You guys should have used an electric heating plate to test the thermals. That would have allowed for more control over the heat and prevent uneven heat distribution. Microwaves operate by having electromagnetic waves interact with certain molecules by vibrating them, the most common being water. This means that the different molecular makeup of the fluids determined the amount of energy being absorbed by radiation heat transfer rather than the ability to absorb heat via conduction (the type of heat transfer seen in an engine.) That is why there is a such a huge difference in the temperature between the fluids.
@@MartinKusyn I recognize they weren’t really being serious with the video but as a chemical engineer that had to take 2 courses on heat transfer it bugs me.
The microwave was funny but yeah the heat applied to each liquid is super different and they aren't even close to operating temp if they're still in clear plastic cups

Useful hint! Years ago I had a leak in my MK3 golf steering rack, I was in Greece, where I didn't manage to find power steering fluid in any of the local gas stations, but we had plenty of olive oil. I filled it in, got home, few months later, my steering started hardening again, so i refilled with olive oil :) Somehow the leak cured itself, probably because of high viscosity olive oil and I never went back to real power steering fluid, I scrapped the car years and 50 000 km later with the olive oil still working fine. So maybe, olive oil which has probably the highest viscosity of all cooking oils would be better than the canola oil, at least for the test purpose
That heat test is somewhat inaccurate, since microwaves essentially generate friction on water molecules that heat up the food it comprises. In this case, those all have different water contents, so they'll all react differently from each other Bonus: the reason the syrup got so hot is because it has a high water content, but also because of its sugar content, since sugar can contain just the most ungodly amounts of heat

I'm really happy you're doing better and you look fantastic. Keep on keepin' on man!
Other than ATF, Canola would work okay, as expected. It has a flash point of about 700 degrees, and in terms of cooking it's quite common to add a bit of Canola Oil when using butter to cook as the Canola Oil prevents the butter from burning and turning brown if the heat gets to high. And it's why we use it in our deep fryers. Also, Fun Fact (Fun Fact? Maybe...): The original name for Canola, which is a GMO and created in a lab at the University of Manitoba, was Rapeseed. It was obviously changed to something a bit less...rapey. Though it still uses the name Rapeseed in England.
Microwave ovens are particularly good at exciting water molecules - given that the substances tested have different water content the degree to which they'll be heated will vary even when microwaved together.
I've heard that some people throw ATF in their motor before an oil change in order to clear out sludge since ATF has all sorts of detergents and anti-sludge additives.
It works great, especially in older cars that use leaded gas. My first car was a 66 AMC Rambler, and I'd put in a half a quart of ATF a couple of days before I was going to change the oil. It removes a TON a gunk.
The Regal has the 3.8 which is related to the Chevy 4.3 and its worth mentioning my s10 with its 4.3 the original owner blew a hole into the oil pan bigger than a softball and he still drove it into a parking lot 3 miles after it started leaking oil and it was still running in the parking lot
You really should have got Project Farm to do this with you, with his experience doing this type of stuff and testing equipment this could've been more scientific.
Donut does this for entertainment purposes. If they really wanted to test it in an engine, you buy multiple brand new identical engines and run it until it seizes, not in a junk engine one after the other.
For the microwave test, the blood and syrup have a high water content, the frequency of microwaves are specifically tuned to oscillated the polar water molecules, but not non-polar oil molecules.
It also shows how microwaves work. The substance needs water or at least a polar molecule in order to create heat. I imagine there isn’t much water in engine oil. Perhaps they all have similar amounts of polar molecules I can’t be certain
Just as a heads up, that blood almost certainly has chemicals in it to make it “thinner”. Usually blood will clot and become more of a jelly like substance within a few minutes. Prob skews the viscosity tests but let’s be real no one’s using blood for motor oil haha
This is not true for pigs blood. Pigs blood takes longer to clot and also the blood is usually sieved before sold which is why it doesn't just turn to jelly when air hits it. It gets rid of any of the clotting agents that were used in the pigs blood when taken out of the animal.
not yet.. In Kojima’s game Metal Gear Solid 4, Gekko robots use blood because it combined bio-mechanics to make it more flexible/movable light IFV. I know it’s too theoretical, but an ethical untested food for thought, if blood could revolutionise our technology.
One reason why the oil stayed so cool during the heat test is that microwaves work by exciting water molecules and since the oil is well, oil based it was more resistant to heating up than the other fluids which were mostly water based
Woulda been a better test to have used a different brand new harbor freight engine for each oil alternative. Then you could tear the engines down and see what happened to each of them.
I'd like to make mention about the way a microwave "cooks" food. Let's put it this way; the micro radio waves being broadcast inside the box collide with and agitate molecules which causes them to give off more heat. Some substances are more subjected to this molecular agitation than others. Sugars and water in foods are some of the more efficiently agitated substances than foreign objects a block of Styrofoam (just a hunch). Maple syrup did exactly as would be expected with heating up faster than the motor oil, the substance least affected by the agitation of the micro radio waves. Heating up test liquids through conduction like a 'sous vide' steak could also provide as a reliable method of having equal temperatures across liquid test materials. FUN FACT: The holes in the screen door of your microwave are just slightly smaller than the micro radio waves themselves, therefore not allowing them to pass through the screen as we are wondering what kinds of cancer microwave appliances cause as we stand too close. They're just photons, give it the photon-beans.
@@waseemparker5622 yea, but the turbo is like a lil blender making air smoothies for the engine. It takes the stuff in the air and dices and minces it into something combustible.
I love that during the second viscosity test everyone was saying “ew!” and gagging from the cooked blood and Justin was pouring it going “teehee” 😂😂😂 love it! Great episode! Very informative 😂
Maple syrup isn't a lubricant, its more of a sort of glue cuz it'll harden when its cold or left too long in low-med heat. it could damage ur engine as time goes on. also maple syrup can distribute heat and will be hotter faster
Honestly if you have a newer car that takes 0w20 or some other rediculously thin oil then canola oil or some other cooking oil would probably be indifferent to the engine
to be fair, the microwave won't heat up oils, especially engine oil as the fluid won't have enough water in it to raise the overall temp of said fluid. Microwave bandwidth is tuned to target water molecules in food. That's how it heats up the food by exciting water molecules in whatever food item is present in the oven.
CarThrottle did an episode not long ago on different types of fluid that could run in your engine. This episode has striking similarities except they tested it on a a real junk car and did drifting skids with it🤣 When are you guys going to team up with them?
I feel like Car Throttle did the idiot test and these guys did the scientific test! Love both of the channels though and would be class to see them do something together :)
This may be by far Justin's greatest showing of power Everyone is all gagging and he's swishing around a cup of partially congealed (???) blood ready to pour it cackling
Microwaves react differently with each fluid you tested primarily because of their water content from my understanding. I feel as if you should've heated the liquids differently until they all hit the same temperature before they were tested.
This reminds me of one of my favorite SCP stories about a spot where you recieve instant knowledge about anything. One of the things that the test subject recieved knowledge about was how to rebuild and run an engine on blood
I wonder how that production meeting went? " Hey guys we really need to take that Regal to the junkyard" Jobe says "I know let's blow it up using pig's blood!" Everyone says "That's an amazing idea!!" NICE!!!
To clarify for a 5W-20 oil the W stands for Winter. Both the 5 and 20 are measurements of viscosity. The 5 is when cold (40°F) and the 20 is when at operating temperature (210°F). Lower means less viscous/ more runny. Higher means more viscous/less runny. So even though the W doesn't mean Weight the the number or viscosity index is widely called the oil weight.
Why would it be less viscous when cold? I see you were perhaps not implying that. From amsoil they are tested at 40 C (104 f) and 100 C (212 f ). they make multi grade oils that can still be pumped efficiently through the engine when it is cold below 40 C. the higher number after the w does not mean that the oil is thicker at 100 C than 40C
I think it’s important to mention the regal probably has the legendary 3.8L and you could run no oil in that and it wouldn’t blow the engine up
That's sort if what I was wondering... If just running straight air/nothing would be better than blood. Thanks for the answer.

I actually really dig the new content style, it really makes them stand out because you just don't see these kinds of crazy shenanigans on other automotive channels. Keep it up, guys.
P.S. this was in no way, shape or form a shot at James. I just used his health scare as a time frame/reference since it was afterwards that I started noticing a chance in content. I meant no disrespect. I love you Pumphrey, you're my favorite member of the Donut family. I always watch videos with you in the thumbnail first during my weekly Friday night Donut Media binge. I'm really happy you're doing better and you look fantastic. Keep on keepin' on man!
Thing is, Blood is a shear thinning fluid, which means that when it it’s under any pressure it’s viscosity will decrease rapidly
Donut: Answering Questions No One Has Ever Asked.
Before it starts I'm gonna guess that the blood will boil like crazy and maybe cook for a bit and solidify.
Edit: yep, it did
Blood coagulation apparently is not found in Donut Media's dictionary... 😏
Other than ATF, Canola would work okay, as expected. It has a flash point of about 700 degrees, and in terms of cooking it's quite common to add a bit of Canola Oil when using butter to cook as the Canola Oil prevents the butter from burning and turning brown if the heat gets to high. And it's why we use it in our deep fryers.
Also, Fun Fact (Fun Fact? Maybe...): The original name for Canola, which is a GMO and created in a lab at the University of Manitoba, was Rapeseed. It was obviously changed to something a bit less...rapey. Though it still uses the name Rapeseed in England.
The name "canola" is actually meant to differentiate it from natural rapeseed oil
Microwave ovens are particularly good at exciting water molecules - given that the substances tested have different water content the degree to which they'll be heated will vary even when microwaved together.
I've heard that some people throw ATF in their motor before an oil change in order to clear out sludge since ATF has all sorts of detergents and anti-sludge additives.
It works great, especially in older cars that use leaded gas. My first car was a 66 AMC Rambler, and I'd put in a half a quart of ATF a couple of days before I was going to change the oil. It removes a TON a gunk.
I agree with the sentiment of throwing the ATF in a motor.
Interesting 🤔
Justin is really adding a lot to this show! Keep it up y’all!
The Regal has the 3.8 which is related to the Chevy 4.3 and its worth mentioning my s10 with its 4.3 the original owner blew a hole into the oil pan bigger than a softball and he still drove it into a parking lot 3 miles after it started leaking oil and it was still running in the parking lot
Whoever edited this deserves a raise for blurring all of that grossness. Thank you friend
You really should have got Project Farm to do this with you, with his experience doing this type of stuff and testing equipment this could've been more scientific.
That would have made an awesome "Crossover Episode"!
Yeah, project farm did a lot of this a while ago with arguably better data presentation.
Donut does this for entertainment purposes. If they really wanted to test it in an engine, you buy multiple brand new identical engines and run it until it seizes, not in a junk engine one after the other.
@@gwot true
For the microwave test, the blood and syrup have a high water content, the frequency of microwaves are specifically tuned to oscillated the polar water molecules, but not non-polar oil molecules.
Now you can officially say that you guys put your BLOOD, sweat and tears into this channel.
How Justin acted is probably exactly how I would have acted. Making the rest sick, while laughing!
It also shows how microwaves work. The substance needs water or at least a polar molecule in order to create heat. I imagine there isn’t much water in engine oil. Perhaps they all have similar amounts of polar molecules I can’t be certain
Glad to see Justin hosting more. He's already making me laugh lmao.
Just as a heads up, that blood almost certainly has chemicals in it to make it “thinner”. Usually blood will clot and become more of a jelly like substance within a few minutes. Prob skews the viscosity tests but let’s be real no one’s using blood for motor oil haha
Blood ♥️ for motor oil 🤔
Blood ♥️ for ATF 🤔
Ha ha haa yea nobody woud do that
This is not true for pigs blood. Pigs blood takes longer to clot and also the blood is usually sieved before sold which is why it doesn't just turn to jelly when air hits it. It gets rid of any of the clotting agents that were used in the pigs blood when taken out of the animal.
not yet..
In Kojima’s game Metal Gear Solid 4, Gekko robots use blood because it combined bio-mechanics to make it more flexible/movable light IFV. I know it’s too theoretical, but an ethical untested food for thought, if blood could revolutionise our technology.
One reason why the oil stayed so cool during the heat test is that microwaves work by exciting water molecules and since the oil is well, oil based it was more resistant to heating up than the other fluids which were mostly water based
As someone from a culture who cooks with blood in some of our dishes, I already knew that shit wasn't gonna work.
The W stands for Winter not weight, it's the flow value of when oil is cold.
Which was covered on their channel on Science Garage. RIP
Yeah, I thought they would get that part right
Rip science garage
Can I just say Zach's hair today looks Amazing!
Bro, that was the nastiest thing I’ve ever seen done to a car… outside of Vegas. Thank you for putting this together.
I love the Donut crew but I've got say Justin's laugh was cracking me up today. Keep up the awesome content. Oh go have a Hi/Low car track day. DO IT!
You don't even have to tell us. We already know this was Jeremiah's idea 🤣
Jeremiah: “Is this stupid?”
Editor: *Laughs in editing powers*
The fact that you're even asking the question in the first place almost always means you already know the answer is yes
@@Pucknuckle and hence what makes me laugh at these vids
@@Pucknuckle that and Jeremiah’s demonic voice which makes me afraid of the very thing in my body💀💀
Woulda been a better test to have used a different brand new harbor freight engine for each oil alternative. Then you could tear the engines down and see what happened to each of them.
that would be much MUCH MORE BETTER
Let's be real, this is Donut not ProjectFarm.
I'd like to make mention about the way a microwave "cooks" food. Let's put it this way; the micro radio waves being broadcast inside the box collide with and agitate molecules which causes them to give off more heat. Some substances are more subjected to this molecular agitation than others. Sugars and water in foods are some of the more efficiently agitated substances than foreign objects a block of Styrofoam (just a hunch). Maple syrup did exactly as would be expected with heating up faster than the motor oil, the substance least affected by the agitation of the micro radio waves. Heating up test liquids through conduction like a 'sous vide' steak could also provide as a reliable method of having equal temperatures across liquid test materials.
FUN FACT: The holes in the screen door of your microwave are just slightly smaller than the micro radio waves themselves, therefore not allowing them to pass through the screen as we are wondering what kinds of cancer microwave appliances cause as we stand too close. They're just photons, give it the photon-beans.
Video idea: How far will a car run without an air filter?
P.S: Great video!
Just go watch Adam LZ with a rental. They’ll go pretty far
You could drive for weeks without an air filter
You can go for long without one ,think about the guys running turbos with no mesh or filter
@@waseemparker5622 yea, but the turbo is like a lil blender making air smoothies for the engine. It takes the stuff in the air and dices and minces it into something combustible.
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 no.
I love that during the second viscosity test everyone was saying “ew!” and gagging from the cooked blood and Justin was pouring it going “teehee” 😂😂😂 love it! Great episode! Very informative 😂
Also the return of Dark Mode Jobe lol
Lol, I know. I was thinking, “we definitely know who the serial killer of the bunch is!”
I noticed the same thing! So funny 😂
It's pretty funny how donut is getting flamed on their own subreddit now
Just imagine the cops reaction when someone who's carrying blood in its trunk tell them it's an emergency engine oil.
Maple syrup isn't a lubricant, its more of a sort of glue cuz it'll harden when its cold or left too long in low-med heat. it could damage ur engine as time goes on. also maple syrup can distribute heat and will be hotter faster
True
10:13 I'm sure yall waited for 6.66M subs just to do this episode
Honestly if you have a newer car that takes 0w20 or some other rediculously thin oil then canola oil or some other cooking oil would probably be indifferent to the engine
At least for a bit
The best thing is that I've already saw a friend doing these. The fun fact is that it was awesome haw the burn out the engine.👍👍👍👍👍
to be fair, the microwave won't heat up oils, especially engine oil as the fluid won't have enough water in it to raise the overall temp of said fluid. Microwave bandwidth is tuned to target water molecules in food. That's how it heats up the food by exciting water molecules in whatever food item is present in the oven.
CarThrottle did an episode not long ago on different types of fluid that could run in your engine. This episode has striking similarities except they tested it on a a real junk car and did drifting skids with it🤣
When are you guys going to team up with them?
Imagine if donut went to the UK and did a road trip challenge with car throttle... Or vice versa 🤯
I feel like Car Throttle did the idiot test and these guys did the scientific test! Love both of the channels though and would be class to see them do something together :)
Also garage 54 made a test on how long can engine run without the oil... Results _ 1hour
This would have been perfect for a special Halloween episode lol
yep
This may be by far Justin's greatest showing of power
Everyone is all gagging and he's swishing around a cup of partially congealed (???) blood ready to pour it cackling

If anyone sees that engine after you scrap it they'll have alot of questions/ concerns
Damn that’s metal as fuck
This episode was so ƃuıʞɔnɟ metal, man!
Microwaves react differently with each fluid you tested primarily because of their water content from my understanding. I feel as if you should've heated the liquids differently until they all hit the same temperature before they were tested.
What the hell happened to my favourite channel?!
i would love to see moneypit come back!
This reminds me of one of my favorite SCP stories about a spot where you recieve instant knowledge about anything. One of the things that the test subject recieved knowledge about was how to rebuild and run an engine on blood
Long time fan, but I miss B2B, Wheelhouse and other informative shows. It’s like I’m watching long format tiktok.
🤣 Justin handled the blood like a champ 👏
The idea of a car that runs on blood first appeared in the Czechoslovak horror film The Vampire of Ferat.
That has to be the deepest cut in this whole comment section.
The idea of running a car on blood is older than motion pictures.
Y’all are just squeamish, I’ve been running my car on blood for years!
I wonder how that production meeting went? " Hey guys we really need to take that Regal to the junkyard" Jobe says "I know let's blow it up using pig's blood!" Everyone says "That's an amazing idea!!" NICE!!!
To clarify for a 5W-20 oil the W stands for Winter. Both the 5 and 20 are measurements of viscosity. The 5 is when cold (40°F) and the 20 is when at operating temperature (210°F). Lower means less viscous/ more runny. Higher means more viscous/less runny. So even though the W doesn't mean Weight the the number or viscosity index is widely called the oil weight.
Nice explanation .
Why would it be less viscous when cold? I see you were perhaps not implying that. From amsoil they are tested at 40 C (104 f) and 100 C (212 f ). they make multi grade oils that can still be pumped efficiently through the engine when it is cold below 40 C. the higher number after the w does not mean that the oil is thicker at 100 C than 40C
Getting a little desperate for content boys?
I never knew being a chef would come in handy for car stuff but yeah I definitely knew what was going to happen with the blood and syrup
This is the second time donut is putting out videos i thought about in the same day . I would like to work with you guys 🤤
