Somehow researching different oil types in refrigeration compressors brought me here. Thanks for providing so much good information though - I had a mechanic say that my 81 Volvo 240 doesn't care or need synthetic but now I know that there are differences it will make whether it "needs" it or not. Also for refrigeration we have a few different oils we use: Mineral, alkyl benzene, Polyolester, Polyvinyl Either, and Polyalkylene glycol. The type depends on what mixes with the refridgerant, but POE likes to turn back to acid in the sealed systems which isn't great..

We can assume that group 1-2 is naturally aspirated lubricant that does the job with classic minimum additive package. Have to admit that I experienced SAE 20 monograde pure mineral oil with liquid MoS2 additive in my car. It runs freaking good compared to so called Fully Mega Synthetic oils. The engine runs much smoother and sounds so refine. Will report later after 100 engine hours. Thanks for video.
The should print this stuff right on the container. I found a relatively cheap manufacturer with fully synthetics in 0w40 and 5w40 that are basically pure Group 4 PAO with tiny amounts of Group 3 and Esters, most likely from the additive package. Such an oil is almost unheard of in my country. You only really find out about this stuff when digging up lab reports.
When the label says "conventional oil", should i assume immediately it's a "group i" base oil? If not, is it possible to shop specifically for "group i" lubricant?
There's not many Group I engine oils left to be honest. "conventional" will usually mean either Group I or II, so that's definitely a clue, but full Group I's are hard to come by because of the low viscosity index.
Looking at Nulon and Penrite, Nulon use group 3 oils for their top of the line gear oil while Penrite state a PAO Ester blend, yet the Nulon state a higher viscosity index. Comparing 10W-40 engine oil to 75W-90 gear oil being similar (almost identical) at 40-100, I wonder if Nulons PAO/AN race oil cold be used as a gear oil also if the anti wear properties are similar. There does not seem to be a defining difference between gear and engine oil. As a mechanic, some of the vehicles (BMW) used engine oils for the transmission. If the transmission never reached temperatures above 100c, would a pao/an oil be of any benefit? What do you think about this.
@@LubricationExplained I have two cars 1 is a 2007 Chevy equinox that recommends a 5w-30 synthetic but I’ve been using a store brand made by shell 5w-40 because the engine burns a bit of oil and the thicker oil helps burn off less. Is it bad to use euro spec oil in a American car I’m scared might ruin the catalytic converter. And the second car is a Mercedes b250 2018 and its specked for a 5w-40 with the mb229.5 approval for warranty. I’ve been using Mercedes oil which is sold by the litre and its very expensive and I’m sure it’s a group 3 synthetic. Any input would be appreciated thanks again and you have great videos keep up the great work.

I wonder why you dont have million subs, u deserve that! What an amazing explananation u did here 💯
I appreciate that! But the niche is pretty small so I'm not expecting big things :)
Started working this week as a sales engineer in lubrication. Great onboarding, but your vids really make it much more understandable. Thanks so much!
Congratulations on starting the new job! Who's the lucky manufacturer that you'll be representing?
@@LubricationExplained Thanks a lot! Specialty manufacturer headquartered in Munich, Germany ;).
I am going to have an interview for Shell Poland in the Lub department. I am learning a lot from your videos.
You and Lake Speed Jr have taught me alot! I wanna actually become a member just gotta find out how much
Thank you very much for this enormously informative video. It helps me so much as a sales person for industrial lubricants.
No worries Adnan! Please let us know what other topics you might be interested in.

I was just shopping around for a good oil, next thing i know, im here, great video!
Thank you!
job well done guys. just leaving an appreciation comment with a thank you.
Thanks so much!
I stumbled here out of curiosity well made content
Thanks! This was one of my super early videos - hopefully things have improved since then 😛
as mentioned in the video, toxicity is higher for Group I, therefore, arrow should be pointing upwards instead of downwards
Great video
The video explaining how they react to different temperatures and the break down other molecules.
Your videos are awesome! I'm binge watching them. Cheers!
Glad they’re helpful! Let us know if there are other specific topics of interest.
This I exceedingly useful as an amsoil salesman
Awesome! Do you think there are any other videos we could do that you would find useful?

Who is the manufacturer you found? Mannol?
I'd like to know how to determine a group IV? Amsoils Signature Series SDS is blank in section 3, Redline SDS has up to 60% of non-petroleum products.
Thanks a lot. It really helpful for me to discuss with the base oil partners to invest in the new project :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. Very informative.
in the scene 9:21, group III has lower toxicity than group I has. so, I think the arrow would turning reversedly, right ?

Pl cover in depth on poly alkylene glycols both water based and oil based
Slowly getting there - still got some videos coming through on Esters, and the PAGs and ANs would be next.

When seeing the group table, does it apply for both, diesel & gasoline oils?
Yes.
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting great information super kool,
AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ ,keep up the great work
Hallo. Can I ask you something. What is Interchangeable Low Viscosity Oil at MSDS.
What oil group it is? Thank you
how to increase oxidation stability with group 1 base oil, which is the good additive for that
Thank u sir ❤️
Hello can you buy me how we get basic oil from waste engine oil
I have a question in which group is the N40 base oil in? please help
It looks like N40 is being marketed as a hydroprocessed base oil, which puts it in Gp II
Could you recommend group 4 oils please?
Hi! Without knowing the application it is a little difficult to recommend anything - what are you planning on using it for?

We need BASE OIL
CASTROL IS THE REASON GROUP 3 CAN BE CONSIDERED A SYNTHETIC LOL
More precisely, the NAD who knew nothing about oil...
