Is Mobil 1 better than Schaeffer's Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil? Let's find out!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 апр 2019
- Both Mobil 1 and Schaeffer's have been in business for over 100 years, but which brand makes the best SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil? Let's find out! I purchased Mobil 1 and Schaeffer's Synthetic oils using my own money. I am not sponsored by Schaeffer's or Mobil 1 or by any product manufacturer. 100% of Project Farm videos are ideas that come from those leaving comments. So, thank you very much for requesting this video! In the previous episodes, Amsoil won over Royal Purple, Amazon won over Liqui Moli, and Red Line won over Super Tech. The brands that won will advance to next round in the oil championship series.

So which one did you conclude to be the best oil?
Need to do Lubrication Engineers monolec tetra syn 5w30 . The ultimate synthetic oil
You didn’t put enough oil in cup on bearing test for Schaffer’s oil not fair!!
Excellent content as always Project Farm. May I suggest longer volatility tests for your oil comparisons? If you're going to "freeze" the oils for 24hrs for cold flow tests, why not "cook" the oils for 24hrs for volatility tests?
Keep up the great work PF. Thank you.

One thing is interesting: shaeffir in business 150 years and I never heard of it until 2019. Haha. They may need better advertising.
Thanks for watching!
Products and businesses that advertise by word of mouth tend to be of better quality.
@@AndyE30 Renewable Lubricants (RLI's) Oil and Green Earth Technologies' "G Oil" are both bio friendly. Veggie based and Beef Tallow based. I might as well mention them, few know about them otherwise though G Oil had advertising. EDIT: RLI's oil is about $37 or $40 for a gallon.
At $16/quart, it's gonna take a lot of sex to sell that stuff.
I happen to be an ad salesman in St Louis and I've never heard about them till last week. I'm a dedicated Amsoil user (for over 10 years) and am anxious to see the results against Amsoil 5W-30. I'm going call them up!
Never heard of schaeffers oil. Pretty impressive.
I hadnt either. It is impressive.
Great product! I've never used it prior to this test. Lots of requests to test it and I can see why.
Green Oil??????
I had never heard of it either. Weird, especially since it's been around so long. But it is pretty expensive stuff and I don't think a lot of places sell it, so that's probably why.
I believe they dye their full synthetic green. I think their conventional oils are the more traditional color.
i know that im getting old, because i watch oil liquid race
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm if u was to send you 2 1L bottle of oils from Australia would you compare them and make a video? It will be nulon vs penrite
..at least you watch sports
I’m 19... just looking for oil to protect the VCT on my truck -_- 😂
It's all about the cold flow my friend...which will make it's way to your engine parts faster
I switched to Schaeffer's products for everything with my hotshot business. It lowered my maintenance intervals by over 25% Which lowered my downtime and by buying their products in bulk from a distributor it came out to be cheaper than any other option. I even get free oil samples which is a huge savings. My biggest savings come with their carbon treat fuel treatment pushing that fuel filter life out is huge. The Wheel hub 219 grease lowered my trailer hub temps by 8-12 degrees over lucus red n tacky.

ur overpaying tho
Never heard of Shaeffers
@@mikecekic2393 not when you're changing your oil 1/4 as often and you're never tearing down an engine for engine wear failure. If you're running conventional oil you are spending four to six times more money on oil then I am in the same number of miles plus the cost of the oil change even if it's your own time and an oil filter.most of my engines run an entire year on 1 oil change 1 filter. The rest of them are changed per what the oil lab analysis tells us the change interval should be most are around the equivalent of 24000 miles on stationary other dirtier condition engines are around 12000 miles. Recommendations on the bottles are 7000 and 9000 miles but we send everything into a private analysis lab to be sure we are getting the best protection possible. I can almost guarantee you that if you sent me a sample of your conventional oil that had 3000 miles on it and I sent it into the lab the results would come back that you should have changed your oil a thousand miles ago.
@@davidweum9334 private company my uncle and cousin sell it some of the best stuff out there

This dude need to do a NASCAR commentary. He made the oil rase exciting.
Thank you very much!
Dang it, I had $10 and a case of Busch Light on the Mobil One! My brother took Schaeffer's and he hadn't even heard of it before. Oh, well, it was an exciting race.
If I was a gambler I will start placing bets with my friends on these races. Lol 🤣
It would be interesting to see a second lubricity test with the cooked oils.
Great suggestion! Thank you
exactly!
Third
yeah, that's actually a really good idea
Maybe in final round?
Holy crap this channel is amazing. The fleet that we had years ago all transferred to Schaeffers oil after we ran a series of test between 100 vehicles. I think it was about ten vehicles each received a certain brand of full synthetic oil with oil samples sent off every single oil change. At the end of the year Schaeffers oil was decided on and we extended our 5000 mile oil changes in F150s to 13,000 miles per oil sample recommendations. The trucks were already out of warranty as standard oil changes were no longer relevant. A few of the trucks that we used for highway parts running were extended up to 17,000 miles. Amsoil was up there but they cannot beat the bulk prices on Schaefer.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Amsoil is just better:)
@@WickedG5150Wrong

thank you for all the testing and explaining.
Thank you for the feedback!
I cant get enough of your videos...Never biased..very informative..straight up and to the point.. Thanks, keep it up.
Thank you very much!
That’s the truth!
How about the lubricity test after cooking. Love your channel! Keep up the great work!
Great recommendation! Thank you
@@ProjectFarm Someone had suggested this in your last oil comparison video and you replied that you were going to incorporate it into future test. What happened?
@@EDesigns_FL, Tournament's already underway. Next season, perhaps :) ... Or, he already has the data and will do the big reveal during the all-stars. Thank you for your work!
@@gth042 Since the bacon fat test illuminated the folly of the lubricity test, it would have been nice to have a little more to compare. I live in Florida; so the cold fluid test doesn't mean much to me.
Was just thinking the same thing.
I've never been this excited about a play-off style bracket in my entire life....
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm It appears you may be right! ;)
Both are amazing oils. Regardless of the outcomes, these are extremely good oils and you can’t go wrong with either.
Thank you
Schaeffer's 90w oil is amazing stuff. We used it at a shop I worked at. It's the stickiest, slickest stuff I have ever seen. Dip your finger in it and the breeze would make it string across the parking lot. We also put it through the friction test and it performed excellent. It even beat out pumpers lube. Lol.
I don't know much about their motor oils though but if its anywhere near as good as their 90w then I'd definitely use it.
It is some of the best oil and grease out there, my grandpa sells it along with my uncle and cousin it’s all I use in my engine and transmissions. It is also a private company so they don’t advertise there stuff like Mobile or amsoil
@@lucasfennema6778where do you find it at? I wasn't familiar with it at all and can't remember seeing it anywhere. Is it just something you have to know where to get it or have to order it because I wouldn't order something like oil
@@wades623 u can look it up online, and u can find a sales rep in your area usually
My truck uses a quart once a month or so, so I never have to worry about my oil getting old🤘
lol. Great point! If you use Engine Restorer, you'll likely see that oil consumption decrease.
I've got same thing in my honda, and I'm not planning on ever adding new oil. In fact, I save changed engine oils from my other vehicles and let it burn off in my Honda.
I never would have thought of this, except my dad did same and told me. in 80's some time, he started up a home construction company, bought a heavily used truck. It turned out to burn oil pretty bad. He never even changed filter ... and got 100K+ miles without ever changing the oil. Not sure what ever happened to that truck, I'm assuming he sold it.
Sure miss my dad.
@@loves2shoot That's hilarious! great story.
Most cars do even if the dip stick level doesn't go down. What happens is water replaces the lost oil and people think their vehicle isn't using any oil when it is.
Mini DK#9 If your engine is replacing oil for water quart for quart, RIP engine.
I love this oil testing series! Keep it up sir!
Thank you!

Na. PF it was a good test I will be watching the rest to see who wins.
Its pretty damn rare to see a youtube comment that makes me actually laugh out loud, but you pulled it off. Well done, sir.
Are you doing a flow test?
$13 a quart? Ouch. 10 quarts needed in my mustang. $5/quart Mobil 1 regular full synthetic is good enough.
Edit: bought a case of Schaeffer’s to try out in my ‘18 GT from Amazon. Night and day difference from the Mobil in terms of engine noise/smooth idling even with a basically new engine. The hype is real!
Thank you!
what year is your mustang and what engine? 10 quarts is a shitload of oil
@@brendenmacvicar738 my '09 G8 GT uses just under 9 qts, 1 qt less than my damn Duramax!
@@brendenmacvicar738 the new mustangs are dry sump so the oil tanks are much bigger
@@GrandPrix46 jesus christ haha i never would have expected that much oil to be in there... Would definitely help when people don't change their oil for extended periods of time though i guess haha
I in joy watching your videos and I put confidence in them
Thank you
wow being using scheaffer's for 2 years on my wrx and final;y i can stop doubting my choice!
you should see if the bearing wear test changes with cooked oil vs new oil.
Thank you for the video idea!
I agree! The main reason we use oil is to lubricate, so whether it continues to lubricate after it has been heated is quite important.
@@averyalexander2303 that and oil has additives that are heat activated. oil in a bottle last for years but once you place it in your engine it has a life based on the additive package+ regular and synthetic oils. that's the reason why full synthetic oil last for 12 months.
It's all just marketing.
@@BennyCFD don't hate bro
I never heard of that oil, it's good stuff! Thanks for another superbly done video Todd!
Thank you very much! They are both very good products. Looking forward to your next video!
It is sold at Callahan Auto Parts
Maybe because its 13 bucks a quart
It’s good stuff
@@JoshT4life I buy Schaffer’s for around $9 a quart from our local Schaffer’s dealer. It’s one of 3 next to Pennzoil and Amsoil that hold the correct rating for the Ram Hemi.

Schaefer invented motor oil before the invention of the internal combustion engine, and then had to wait until it was
OK now THAT'S funny!!! LOL
Those oxen went through a lot of motor oil pulling those wagons!!!
very funny, but just as an FYI schaffer started out making grease, if im not mistaken they called it "black beauty grease" their grease is excellent to this day
Good to know. I need a waterproof grease for my boat prop and so far not very satisfied with lubriplate 130 AA or Chevron Black Pearl, as they both tend to wash out too easily
@@wallacegrommet9343 i highly recommend the 238 schaffer grease, that stuff is great when it comes to washing out and pounding out under pressure

Thank you for the video idea!
Add Valvoline and AmsOil to that list
Rotella T6 comes in 0w40 and 5w40. 0w40's not as common and it's thinner than 5w40 both hot and cold.
@@101Volts yeah it's not common because nobody lives at the north pole
Project Farm yes please, amsoil “heavy duty” vs delo synthetic! Not a fan of shell rotella.
I have been a gear head for most of my life, built many a car and motorcycle for over 50 years and I have never heard of Schaeffer oil
and nobody I know has ever heard of this brand either !
Thank you! Seems like Schaeffers needs to work on their marketing approach
Find a distributor, not hard , it’s also on eBay

Wellington here! 😂
Greetings and thank you!
I’m loving this series! I would like to see testing on 0w20 oil as more modern engines are requiring it. Also, a price comparison would be beneficial. If the results are close, a 2nd or 3rd place finisher might give more bang for the buck. How about a Bang for the Buck category? Thanks!
Thanks for the video idea.
@@ProjectFarm Can you do different oil viscocities vs each other so we can see the difference?
I have been using Mobil 1 for 30yrs and change the oil on my cars every 15k miles and no smoke or ticking whatsoever. Great video!! Thanks!!!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Thank you for making this one. I've found Mobile One synthetic to outperform most other oils over the years.
Thank you! It's a great oil!
I saw a test of Mobile 1 against Amsoil back in 1980 or -81, and Mobile 1 lost on the lubricity tester to Amsoil.
@@sunshinekid6922 In my mind I see amsoil being the overall winner of the oil showdown. My family has used amsoil exclusively on our race cars. That being said, is the performance worth the extra cost of it? I don't know. Great tests
@@sunshinekid6922 After bacon fat decisively beat conventional oil in the lubricity test, I've lost faith in it.
Many years ago I recall a sleazy oil additive company using the same test to promote their product. It was just a zinc additive. If you didn't know better, the test made the additive look very appealing. In actual use, the additive didn't help, and in many situations cause problems, but it tested well ;)
@@EDesigns_FL You are probably referring to zddp. In older cars with agressive cams it is actually very helpful. It is an additive specifically for high pressure lubrication. Newer oils have used lower amounts due to a change in catalytic converter materials. Manufacturers had to do so because of new regulations regarding catalytic converter warranties being extended. The new material did not like zddp. The additive for manual transmission oils have gotten varying results because of synchro materials also. I forget the additive, but when used on bronze vs steel (I think) it does an excellent job preventing wear on one but causes rapid wear on the other. That said, some additives are hogwash, others it really does depend on the application.
I love you’re channel! I wanted to suggest that while you are doing the oil shootout, you are only doing the bearing test with brand new oil. I think the results would be more relavant and really interesting if you repeated the test with cooked oil, afterall that is what the oil is like for most of it life, it is only new for like the first 20 miles of a 3,000-6,000 mile oil change interval
I agree with this guy, I was just thinking the exact same thing! I think that's a great idea
Thanks. Been running Mobil one. 15k miles between changes with their filter. 235,000 miles.
Thank you!
I Run Schaeffers in everything from my GTO to my old ram and even my new one. I especially recommend them for any diesel application too 👍🏼
Thank you
ive never seen a bottle of it.
Great job and very interesting. I would like to see another "lubricity" test after the oils are cooked. Seems like that would be more informative than pre cook. Thanks!
This is definitely one of my favorite channels. Great job as always!
Thank you!
Schaeffer's is all we use in heavy equipment and personal vehicles. Best stuff money can buy and you get better deals in bulk.
Thank you!
Amazing details in doing these experiments. Kudos to Project Farm!
Thank you
I’m thinking of a oil battle between Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W 30 vs Valvoline 5W 30. Great video like always!
strange game. the only way to win is to not play.
Thank you!
That would be great to see
This is more exciting than the NBA.. my only complaint is it is too long between tests! I think it would be interesting at the very end of the bracket to test the overall winner against the last place and see what the differences are by percentage and price (cost/ benefits ratio). Additionally, a test against a very low cost "economy" brand as this would probably show the value of extra protection against wear. Thank you as always for your delivery and demeanor. It is great to see a family friendly channel that is intellectual and without drama.
Thank you! Sorry about taking so long between tests. It takes me around 40 hours for one of these videos. Thanks again!
Well, it really is more interesting than watching paint dry, after all! Thanks Todd.
Lol, Thank You
You dont need a lab.. you are doing this really good and trusted, thanks!
Thank you
Thanks for your videos, I´m from Mexico and you really helped to choose an oil brand for my truck.
Thank you
I was offered Schaeffer's when I went in to do my oil change and I took them up on it as it was the same price as Mobil 1. Glad I did.
Thank you
I have used depth bypass filters for the last 50 some years. My oil always looks new. Looks like the Mobil 1 is lighter. Before I started using synthetics I used Chevron Delo 100 30 wt. I don't drain oil. In the 60s multi grade conventional oil didn't hold up for extended use. You for sure didn't use multi grade in a diesel. My uncle told me his 59 Ford always uses a quart of oil after he changes it. Then it's OK until his next oil change. Later I realized one quart evaporated. Conventional multi grade. They are a lot better now. When Mobil 1 first came out all they had was 5 20. You needed a pretty good engine to use it.
Like they say "Schaefer is the one oil to have, when you're having more than one."
Thanks for the feedback!
would really love to have seen the wear test after the oil had been cooked as well :) thx for the video well done as always!
Thank you!
I realize you only needed a quart of Schaeffer Oil to test . That’s why it cost you so much. Schaeffer strategy has been to market primarily to heavy equipment fleets, mining companies, and large agricultural operations. They usually are selling their products by the 55 gallon drums with a 5 gallon bucket being considered a small amount. Most folks don’t realize how much packaging & mainstream ad campaigns add to the cost of products.
I’ve run their products in my agricultural equipment for about 15 years and through oil analysis I’ve concluded that their oils, hydro fluids, and greases are the best on the planet. They are also significantly less expensive when you’re buying larger quantities. Schaeffer’s commercial customers are fiercely loyal because not only are their products top-shelf but the people in the company are as well. My rep has always went above and beyond the call of duty if I needed something.
Thank you!
Not intereseted in Oil but still watched and liked it because: Its project Farm!
Thank you very much!
Im glad to see someone else that has a FLIR ONE and knows how to use it.
Thank you! I like the FLIR One but had to have it replaced under warranty due to internal battery failure.
Very fair comparison. Great job
Thank you!
Another great video! I love how there are several oils on the market that seem to throw punches with the top commercially available brands. When you're done with the oil competition, I'd love to see a real diesel fuel additive video. So many of the products advertise improved efficiency and cold start performance. Do any of them work? Maybe you could do a small scale test next winter?
Great video idea! Thank you
Walmart full synthetic 5w30 vs Amazon full synthetic 5w30!! This one has me wondering
Thank you!
Both are produced by Warren, most likely the exact same formulation.
@@MattTigers correct but Walmart sometimes changes their private label supplier. I know in the past both ConocoPhillips and Shell have made PLP oil for Wally's. Fwiw, the SuperTech full synthetic made by Warren right now is GM Dexos2 certified, which means it surpasses ILSAC GF5 test standards. Not bad for a rock bottom priced full synthetic in my opinion and probably suitable for most any daily driver car.
PS, Walmart has a website of SDS of all current oil products and past (archived) oil suppliers. That's how I learned about Shell and Conoco having been a PLP supplier to Wally's. It even tells you which viscosities they produced oil for Wally's)
I've seen some cold temp testing of the Walmart ( supertech ) full synthetic 5w30 and it's not that great......like i was actually surprised at how bad it did vs other synthetic oils... And for the $$$$ I picked up some Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w30 from walmart about a month ago for my Chevy Cruze and the 5 quart jug was 26$...... and with all the video's i've seen on the cold temp testing which has been anywhere from 15 below to 40 below..... Mobil 1 beat everything.... Except in this video lol where Shaeffer's barely won....
@@DLYskes1976 did you see his other video on Redline vs supertech? ST won the cold flow test, fwiw.
I work at Schaeffer's pretty cool test glad to see us win.
Great oil! Lots of viewers have mentioned they've never heard of Schaeffer's.

Shawn,
What can you tell us about Schaeffer's that someone that has never heard of them would make the high price worth the $$$$?
Shawn Boyer why’s it green?
@@OldGriz708 it's really not even high priced 7 dollars a quart,and my 92 Silverado with 440000 plus miles on it says so. Bought it from a sales rep there. Never an issue.

Thank You
Always enjoy your videos! Glad to see your testing motor oils now. Is Pennzoil Platinum on your list?
I don't think Pennzoil Platinum should be on the list. I think that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum should be on the list. Researching shows that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is second best to Amsoil. This would be the show down in the finale according to many sites.
Thank you. Yes, I'll test it soon. Thank you
I just changed my oil in my truck and I put in Amazon basics because of project farms test. Thanks for the items you test so people know what’s the best. 😀
Yeah, Amazon and Warren Dist owe PF a debt of gratitude cuzz I'm certain that you're not the only one who's purchased it based on his testing. I for one am probably going to upgrade to it from using SuperTech full synthetic. For a couple bucks more I know I'm getting a quality oil that gave Mobil 1 a run for it's money... and it's nice having it delivered to my front door for free as an Amazon Prime customer already.
Thank you. I'm using Amazon full synthetic in my vehicles now as well. I switched from a synthetic blend brand that cost the same as the Amazon full synthetic oil.
Thanks for your effort! I have learn new things today 😊
Thank you!
Great videos! Keep them coming! Can you do a test of full synthetic oil compared to conventional oil, regarding fuel economy?
Thanks for the video idea.
Thanks for coming through on my request for schaefers. Great video!
Thank you for requesting this test!
I also put in a request for schaffers
I also requested. Thanks project farm!
I requested it as well! This is awesome
And I thought I was the only one who requested it...
Rotating those things every 5 minutes for 2 hours sounds like a fun job.
lol. Yes, it is indeed challenges my attention span to stay on top of that 5-minute mark!
@@ProjectFarm automate it
I’m surprised he hasn’t built a rig to automate the process.
@@ikbendusan Good idea. A simple machine with 2 rotating arms could move the containers either using and arduino to keep time or even just rotates constantly at 0.2-1 RPM.
THAT WAS THE BEST OIL TEST I HAVE EVER SEEN IT WAS HANDS DOWN HI TECH,"GOOD JOB!"
Thank You
Glad I found these series of videos. I only use Schaefer's and Redline in my hotrods. From 400 to 1000hp they have performed flawlessly. Schaefer's is a great little family owned business. They put their money into development and not marketing hence why many people haven't heard of them. However, they are well know in the industrial market
Thanks for the feedback!
My uncle and cousin sell it it’s all my family uses probably some of the best stuff on the market when it comes to grease oil atf they also have a cleaner called citrol it cuts grease and oil like butter plus it is a citrus based
It would be better if you tested the Lubricity on 100-120°c (or engine operating temperature) maybe that would make a difference for the oils. Really good tests keep up the good work!
True :) should do a Cold ( to simulate cold start ) and Hot test
Great recommendation! I'll do that in the next round.
@@ProjectFarm good to hear that 👍 thnx for all the info
@@ProjectFarm Dont change anything for the current tests planned.
as it could throw off results.
@@ProjectFarm what about running a lubricity test after the oil has been cooked?
Us racecar guys would love to see a test like this with Valvoline VR1, Brad Penn, or other high zinc and ZDDP oils
The Auto Answer Man , Schaeffer’s also makes many Racing formulas with extra zinc .. the micron moly is going to be hard to beat!
Thank you for the video idea!
@@swlalubricants456 Their racing oils are badass! 🏁🇺🇲🏁🇺🇲🏁🇺🇲🏁
Thank for your informative effort... i would like to suggest your could test Bardahl product since they promoting no oil run test across as seen on youtube.Tq
I take oil almost as serious as coffee. Good video. Thanks.
Thank you
I'm waiting on pins and needles for the outcome of the Redline vs Schaeffer's oil test.
Thank you!
Magnetic bit holder test, bit durability, oscillating blade durability, safety gear test (glasses, ear plugs/muffs, respirators), and uhhhhh work table load capacities
Thank you for the video idea!
MUFFINS!!! MUFFINS!!! You’d make a great wife
I really like the safety gear testing idea!
DE Nichols when there are already national standards and labs doing certification, I wouldn’t want the legal woes that would come with redoing their work
I just seen your video with royal purple, your channel is awesome.
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
Great vid! Can't wait to get to final show down. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Could you do auto store brand oil next?
Like Autozone and O'Reilly
I just typed a similar comment.
You beat me by four hours. :)
Thank you for the video idea!
Autozone's oil brand, STP, is API SN Plus.
Don't forget Amazon basic lol
@@jonathoncliffbailey , did STP acquire Autozone, or vice-versa? Because from what I know, STP originated in the mid 1950's, whereas Auto Shack (which eventually became Auto Zone) opened it's first store in 1979.
I actually expect your next video as much as Game of Thrones
Thank you very much!
Hey a cool thing that would be interesting to see, is how fast an oil can go from cold to optimal operating temperatures. Love the videos been binging them all!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Would love to see Amsoil Signature Series vs Schaeffer's Supreme 9000. Thanks for the great videos!
A sheaffers, red line, amsoil comparison would be interesting.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you.
Thank you for the video idea!
These 3 in 1 video would be a great idea. Along with my Mag1 request. Mag1 vs Mobil 1 would be interesting since they both come from Warren.
Performances were so close but a winner has to be picked.
Great video. You keep an entertaining by getting so excited. Lol =) Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Years ago I sold Gulf Coast Filters was looking at their web site and saw something about a million mile tear down of a gasoline engine using Shaefers oil. Unusual for gasoline engines. They do mostly tear down inspections of diesel engines on over the road trucks.
Impressive!
Yeah it was a Ford triton engine I remember seeing that too
