Little tip, the top of the motor oil is offset like that for you to pour it the opposite of how you did in the beginning. It allows you to get closer to the lip of what you're pouring into before the oil comes out
I had used Rotella and then switched to Valvoline because I got a good one time deal. Still though Rotella has given me the best results for tge money of any oil I have ever used.
Great test, I really enjoy these videos! However, I have a suggestion. I suggest that for the "cold pour" test, you put the oil in the freezer to actually get it cold before you check the flow rates. The way I see it, the flow rate of the oil at room temperature is irrelevant. It simply shows that one oil is slightly thicker than the other, which may be good, bad, or indifferent depending on the engine design. And a higher viscosity oil at room temperature does not necessarily mean that the oil will be thicker in freezing cold conditions or at operating temperature. Thanks for taking the time to read my comment and keep up the great work!
It'd be cool to see the 0w20 popular mass markets. Like this Valvoline advanced 0w20 vs. Mobil 1 afe 0w20 with Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 with Castrol black bottle edge 0w20.
Shell Rotella is now discontinued (Some Napa Auto's might still have left over inventory but chances very slim) and I ran it in both my 09 crown vic and 01 Suburban and BOTH had engine noise after 2K miles !! I drained and replaced BOTH with Castrol Edge and NO issues at all over 2K miles so far
It seems like oils with really good base oils like rotella and mobil 1 do great on wear scars and load tests and flow good but make some engines a lil noisy after a few miles....wonder if its cuz they are more slippery?
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO I feel there is some fault with your testing, that I strongly believe they are no ASTM tests with the manufacturer uses in developing a lube oil. First that is not a viscosity test, that the oil is heated ( or cooled depending on conditions) and they run a centastrokes test for measurement. Usually test temperatures are 40 deg C and 100 deg C. Your wear test, well it looks somewhat like a bocel apparatus but none I have never seen. With a Bocel ( Ball on Cylinder) test the rest oil is heated to desired test temperature, again usually 40 or 100 deg C. The load arm at the end has a ball bearing the is removable for each test, that rides on the cyclender. The ball bearing use is new with no wear / scars on it and are clean in a solvent before use. The cylinder is cleaned in a solvent and weigh before test. The arm on the Bocel is adjustable that it can be move so you can do several tests to a cylinder. Cylinder is weighed before test. After test is completed the ball bearing on the Bocel arm is cleaned in solvent and examined under a microscope that can measure the scar on it. The cylinder is cleaned in a solvent and weighed. This is basic outline of the test. I know you are trying to do this that is affordable for you to do but it's not being fair to the lube oil you are doing your comparison on. Again, I am not knocking you, just pointing things out based on my knowledge that I did work doing research and have run these tests many years ago looking at lube wear to what I was working on.
I have a Hummer 2, - 2005. What would you suggest, to use for oil and such on this engine👍🏻✌🏻🍀 Thanks currently I use Lucas and MOBLE one ? Do you have any suggestions✌🏻
You don't need any additives use Rotella t4 or t5 10w30 diesel oil. Gasoline cars can use it it has high antiwear additives and soot control. Have used it in my car banging off the rev limiter and works great. Its about 12-18$ per 4 quarts but you get your moneys worth vs synthetic 5-6k miles i run blend 5k
Interesting I found this today. I’ve used valvolines high mileage full synthetic in my 2013 f150 for a few years and considered giving the new rotella gas truck a shot on my next oil change. I just might try it now
Never switch from a high mileage oil to a non high mileage oil. High mileage oils make your seals expand slightly due to the formulation. Putting a non high mileage oil in one that's used to high mileage is just asking for leaks to happen. Stick with your Valvoline high mileage full synthetic. It's the best high mileage oil on tht market.
Valvoline makes probably the best high mileage oil as john says however follow manufacturer's recommendations. If i use high mileage ill then go to non high mileage then switch back because none high mileage has benefits also cleanliness and its able to last many more miles so yes i rotate lol.
If your seals are aging and you put a full synthetic in it'll leak due to the higher flow rate. I don't think it really matters what you use. Every brands make a quality oil now. Change your oil at the recommended interval and make sure your putting in oil certified for modern engines to prevent pre-ignition.
@@robertogomez8100 multi viscosity, 100 % synthetic. Multi viscosity was not invented until the 1950s or 1960s. Before this it straight weight motor oil. Another thing is I posted Mobil 1 was number 1 synthetic oil for many years plus it may still be.
Frank W might be number one in sales but that’s what this tournament is about, knowing which one is the best in quality in this category. Let’s wait till the end of the championship.
Ran Valvoline for 137K in my GDI, not so much concerned about cold flow, it's always hot in FL, but the load test makes me think. Might give Castrol Edge Titanium a run.
Best gas mileage? I don't buy oil for gas mileage, I buy for lubrication and detergent package. And my area isn't cold enough to run winter oil year around, maybe 3 months of the year.
Made by same company check the data sheets. 207 VS 235 Flash point of Rotella and Rotella is a little thinner at 40 and 100°C. Pour point is the same. I'm giving gas truck a run in my 18 ram
@@robertogomez8100 I hear ya, bro. But Valvoline went a bit further to design that for a specific engine type: 2012 or newer and mostly GDI. It's their Modern Engine formulation. Do you just grab it off the shelf and compare it to any 0w20? I don't think so.
ValVoline is TOP

I would agree ,
1. Valvoline flowed a little better so I imagine slightly thinner on bearing test.
2. I believe oils should be tested above 212°F.
Kindly test amsoil 0w20 vs rotella gas truck 0w20 oil....

Which best
Do you know if Rotella will be doing a high mileage version of this oil? you know something for those leaky seals and such. Thx
Could use Lucas high mileage oil stabilizer for qt #6 or STP high mileage

If you add hotshot oil additive into the Valvoline it will beat rotella. Plus Valvoline dint loose by much. Awesome video tho! Thanks bro
What are your thoughts on running a 5w40 instead of 5w30 in my old (1996) clunker this winter? Thanks
