Amsoil vs Valvoline vs Repsol vs Polytron - Oil comparison review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 ноя 2020
- Hi everyone! Today we’ll take a look at another 4 engine oils to find out which is the best. I’m taking about Polytron, Amsoil Signature Series, Repsol Elite and Valvoline SYN Power XL-3.
We’ll start with the technical data sheet overview of each oil, (for Polytron it was not available, but later provided. See pinned comment). Please keep in mind to only choose your oil based on the official requirements of your car manufacturer and on official testing results!
We’ll perform a lubricity test, followed by a cold viscosity test, an evaporation test and finally another cold viscosity test for the heated oil. At the end of the video, we’ll compare the results and see which is the best.
At the end of the video, I thought that it would be a nice idea to have a rating for the products that I test. So, based on the general 5 star rating used all over, I made my rating to better suit my personality. The rating is based on my testing and my opinion of a specific product. It takes into consideration many factors like performance, reliability, availability and many other aspects which are essential to a consumer. Of course, some of these factors may not be applicable to other regions or demographics. As price is another factor in this rating, a product may be cheaper in other regions, rendering my rating as inadequate. In this case, you should reconsider if the product is suitable for you or not.

Valvoline is a very very good quality oil !
All my cars runs extremelly smooth and cool with this oil.
Deserve 100x more subscribers, many people would benefit from this sort of knowledge, i keep telling my friends in to cars about you!!! keep it up!!
As a Respol user, this test makes me happy. Thank you.
Nice! Now I am sure that I will keep using Amsoil. You should do a chart that have all the results for the oil you tested. Keep Up the good work!
Încă un video de nota 10. Felicitari. Aveam așteptări mult mai mari de la Polytron.....la ce filmulețe am văzut pe internet. În fine....asta e.
Hi thanks for this test as there was no private testing videos available for Amsoil and Repsol. Got clarity on the product and was surprised by Valvoline beating Amsoil in lubricity test as it excelled every other competitors in testing by Project Farm
Sergiu your tests are great and reliable. I watch most of them. Thanks for all these nice works. I think most important point was your test method validation. And secondly heating up the oils from 20 to 90 degrees during the test. Please make a new comparison video with 5w30 oils: Motul 8100 X-clean+, Castrol Edge LL, Mobil 1 ESP and Liqui Moly Top Tech 4200.
Hello, Sir * Your test is the best what we can see.
Thank you.
It would be nice to see a list with all the oils tested head to head, maybe this way we will make a better idea. Thank you, and keep up the good work !
Project Farm did a very thorough test..... Amsoil won. As it should, it's 100% Synthetic
Material de calitate ! Bravo Sergiu ! ✌
Great video. I recommend doing such a test on motorcycle oils, especially on bigger/popular brands such as Motul, Bel Ray, Repsol...
everyone does car oil but motorcycle oil has many more components and has to contend with more parts/debris such as clutch dust, would be very interesting.
Great video ! I was just reviewing about 70 other oils on another site written and tested by an engineer - he used a psi film strength test on various oils some tested as high as 115,000 psi - and the best all around oils for any modern motor be a 5w30 grade ! I myself use amsoil - valvoline and castrol !
The lost oil protection test is actually really cool. Granted, rarely will an oil save your engine after it is gone, but the extra bit of protection in case of momentary pressure loss or other issues is nice!
Esti belea cu finalurile astea.Ii si vad pe straini: what the? Cat despre teste: da ma, dar sunt din hAmerica!!! Bravo
Salutare si felicitari pt toate testele pe care le ai facut - ne ajuta foarte mult.
Poti testa Liqui Molly Synthoil High Tech 5w30 si Eneos Sustina 5w30?
Keep on testing 👍
Great video and your getting better. Please try Pentosin 0w-20 and Eneos 0w-20, Germany vs Japan let’s see who wins. THANKS.
You are amazing guy. Congrat for your job.
Great video as always 👍
Can you please test ROWE motoroil ?
Felicitări in general pentru teste si in special pentru cele de ulei si filtre!Vă urez in continuare să "ne luminati"si in legătură cu alte si alte uleiuri ! Eu personal chiar cred in aceste teste pe care le-ai realizat.Multumesc si la mai mare!
Sergiu, poate faci un video cu ranking-ul uleiurilor testate in 2020? Treaba buna tine-o tot așa!
Salut. Apreciez ceea ce faci! Pe viitor poate poți faci teste cu ulei pentru cutii de viteze automate ,manuale și diferențiale.bafta
Could you test Total 9000 energy? have you heard about Ceratech froom Liqui Moly? Love the videos, keep up the good work!!
Hello Sergiu, very interesting comparison, especially the claim of the polytron additive that you found to be questionable. I have always wondered about Castrol magnatron claims that the oil sticks to the metal parts to proptect at cold starts when some parts have drained of oil. Would you please be able to design a test to test this claim, and see how other oils compare. Thanks Raoul.
Excellent video man, am turtit clopoțelul :)!
Great method of testing!! However please compare oils with the same specs for comparison to be equal. Use 504/507 oils from different manufacturers.
Hi Sergui, great video man! Keep up the goodwork 👍 Is it possible for you to make a video with Repsol Elite Cosmos F 5w30 or the new name is Elite Cosmos A5/B5 testing the oil? I really would appreciate it :)
Parabéns pelo vídeo Sergiu, você deveria fazer um vídeo comparativo dos famosos condionadores de metais como por exemplo, Militec e Molykote, que aqui no Brasil é uma febre, vende muito porque prometem muito.
It would be interesting to sea a test comparing 5w30 and 5w40 to see if that brings any benefits or not. Most of the diesel cars can use both grades and there is a lot of dicusion on this topic on all manufacturers forums.
Are you going to review/compare the new Philips RacingVision GT200 and X-tremeVision Pro150
?
Keep up the good work! :)
Tq sir for good work..just something come in my mind..can you make an experiment base on rotational speed? The idea is by using turbine or gear spinning inside the oil. Measure with and without oil speed using rotational speed sensor and compare between oil who's better in term of viscosity and performance..
I like your project farm style videos!
Here are some suggestions that i would like to see and maybe others are interested too:
Changing only the oil and keeping the filter
Testing supermarket brand oils e.g. kaufland or lidl oils
Numai bine
If you decide to test the kaufland oil i could send you a used oil sample.
Poti face te rog inca un test cu uleiuri , printre care sa fie si Eneos ? Myltumesc frumos !
Salut, Sergiu!
Un test la câți km sa schimbam uleiul cred că ar fii foarte interesant 😉. Adică un experiment cu uleiuri date jos din masini la 10.000, la 30.000 ca cele din reprezentanta și văzut diferența, sau dacă cel de la 30.000 mai e bun de ceva😅
What about having a scoreboard on all the oils u test, and see who comes out on top?? 😁👍
yes pls!
I was about to say the same.
Soon..!
Like Piotr Tester does.
Sorry for the delay. The data is in the description now, so you can have a look over it.
Hey thanks alot for your videos. Are you thinking of making a video about ATF fluid? I have an Audi A4 B8 with an automatic transmission and the fluid is a very expensive fluid that cost almost 90$ CAD! PER QUARTER! There are a companies like Valvoline, liqui moly and amsoil that claim their fluid is compatible but because of makes this transmission they are the only ones with the magic formula. It will be nice to find out if people can use other fluid since ZF monopoly is absurd . Thanks again and in looking forward for your next video!
I`ve used Valvoline MaxLife 10W40 in my 2.0 16V + LPG Peugeot 406 for 11 years with interwals 15k. No problems whatsoever. The oil was recommended to me, and I stayed with it until I sold the car.
Foarte bun conținutul! Ai putea testa și AMTIGEL, ar fi interesant.
Well done! Vă rog să faceți mai multe videoclipuri! (google translate xD) /Swedish subscriber
Salut,
Ar fi interesant dacă ai testa Ceratec, Mos2, Motor Protect și Motor Protect Molygen de la LM🤔
Salut! Chiar sunt niște teste făcute bine . O recomandare pentru ulei la Vag 5w30 cu norma 507? Am avut Castrol și am trecut pe Mobil 1 care pare ca e mai bun pentru vreme rece , pare mai subțire. Ce părere ai?
Hello Sergiu
The Valvoline is a A3_ C3 Rated oil. A3/C3 oils to my knowledge offer better protection than oils like amsoil SS which is an A1/B1 Spec GF-6 etc Amsoil combines Group 4 oil as well as Group 3. None the less I enjoy your videos and your Humor😆I hope you start making more of them.
Thank you!
Hello! Have you ever tried Fuchs Titan Race Pro S? If not, will you try it? ☺️ Keep up with the good work!
Are you a fan of Project Farm? Good to have an European RUclipsr who does proper tests.
btw when you test those "cheap" oils it would make sense to put a "good" oil next to it.
Repsol proved that is good only for warm climate, like Spain :D . Many thanks for the video :)
Depends on what you consider warm climate. Don't consider every morning during winter it's 10°C, it could be minus 0 easily but course if you plan to use it in a place where -15 or more are relatively easy to reach it isn't the best choice. Even though I pay a strong attention to the cold performance. It's something I can't control. Engine when is hot it's at 100°C at the oil sump and thanks to the coolant system the car manage that if your driving style doesn't overheat the oil But starting the engine is the worse. Main reason because I pay a little more for the oil
@@davidgm756 I bought Repsol C2 5w-30. We had -25C temperature three weeks ago. Repsol was worse choice, when I compared it with Zic X7, Neste Pro C2, Fuchs Titan 2290. Repsol have pour point at -36C. These oil only for hot climates: Spain, Portugal, Italy, South America, Latinos etc
Man thanks for your video.. but for more oils range results please do full saps oil tests. I want to see a3/b4 oils in your test. Like motul 8100 xcess( not xclean) and (castrol edge a3/b4 version) and valvoline. The (C2 and c3 and c4) category not made for high performance cars like i have( for example mercedes amg engines needs oil 229.5 certifcation ) . Thanks
is Repsol a good brand?
Please test CYCLON Engine oils, I can't find any reviews of this brand on youtube.

Hi Sergiu, I have a question, I live in romania, where do you send your oil sample for analysis? I have taken an oil sample from my car and I was curious to see the results. Thanks
I have the same mug . Jumbo ftw !
I'd love to see a test on Valvoline All Climate.
I got one for ya! The best synthetic motor oils from Royal Purple vs Valvoline vs Motul vs AMSOIL. thatl be a good matchup.
Hee Sergiu. I have my own way of judging engine oils, which is: Put it into the engine, start a test drive, rev it up above 5000 rev, and carefully listen as well as feel the vibes. The sound you are looking for is hard to describe, but you are looking for maximum smooth- and quietness. Oils may have all the same specs, but the noise at high revs differentiates them directly. My experience: cheap oils makes crap sound at high rpm and will make you fear the engine is coming apart😁
you do a really good job i emjoy your videos :) what i am also very curious to see what impact oil additives like lucas oil stabilizator pure synthetic has. especially with different mixtures and maybe some kind if foam test because i used around 15% of this oil stabilizer in my mums citroen and when i did the next oil change the oil was kinda foamy and hat lots of air bubbles in it which is not good in the main bearings because any air bubbles in the oil will lead the metal contact in the bearing. (i used motul xcess 8100 5w40 with lucas oil stabilzator she had oil pressure problems with original citroen oil and now oilpressure is good)
Hi Sergiu,
Can you test Meguin, Motorex and Petronas oils, please?
Hi, sergiu I just wonder what engine oil and filter do you use for your vehicle? 🧐
Could you test Eneos sometime in the future? And maybe Optima (Modriča) if you can buy it there.
Here is a recomendation, take a look at the Xenum XPG Ester PAG, I use it in my bike (+vrx500, antifriction aditive) and works amazing. The price is similar to a Castrol Edge at about 50 Euros for 4L, there are also 1L bottles (At least in Spain) I belive the quliti vs price is quite good considering is a group V oil.
If i remember correctly they are made in Belgium, so I asume it will be easy to get in Romania.
Un prieten a făcut o analiză de ulei uzat la Valvoline SynPower XL III C3 5w30 în Passatul lui B6 după 10000 și rezultatul a fost excelent, valori de uzură surprinzător de mici în condițiile în care avea câteva procente de contaminare cu motorină. Un ulei excelent, acest brand ar merita mai multă atenție întrucât face produse foarte bune.
Interesting video.
There is a small nuance and that is that they are not comparable oils, Valvoline and Repsol are ACEA C3, more viscous oils with high HTHS while Amsoil and Polytron are ILSAC GF, less viscous and with low HTS, different oils for different engines.
The real comparison is:
Repsol vs Valvoline
Amsoil vs Polytron
Exactly my thought. Oil specifications aren't the same across all products which means they are designed after different standards
Salut ,Sergiu.
Dacă ştii petru motoare gaz metan BSX 2.O ECOFUEL ce e mai potrivit?
Mulțumim .
Salut, poți face un test cu ulei simplu, după care cu același ulei în care sa pui aditiv din comerț? Sunt curios dacă aditivii pt ulei din comerț ajută cu ceva.
Excellent 👌
Hello mate!Why dont you try to test oil Yacco?Its only made in France,and has no fakes from this brand.I dont see much review for this oil,and i like to see your test and opinion!
Bună! Care ulei crezi ca este mai bun la ora actuala și care vâscozitate?
Salut Sergiu. Cred ca ar fi foarte interesant sa compari si uleiurile Brand car.. adica uleiurile Honda vs Mercedes vs Toyota .. etc. Multumesc
Hi neighbor, greetings from Bulgaria!!! Great content from you!! Could you add those results to the big table with all the oils results so they could be compared to the other oils (for me it’s important to see how the four from this video compare to Motul’a product range) thank you in advance!
Hello! Click here : www.testedbysergiu.com/best-engine-oil
Did the lubric test has the same result after the second / third test ?
Salut, despre PETRONAS Selénia WR Pure Energy 5W-30 ce parere ai? Il folosesc de 2 ani la un corsa cdti (motorul e facut in parteneriat fiat si e recomandat de ei) vine in 1 sau 2 litri in cutie de metal facut in Torino.
E mult mai silentios motorasul doar ca nu-s clarificat daca e ok totusi nefiind recomandat de GM care vrea doar ACEA C3 (selenia fiind c2). Mersi
Amsoil SS 5w30 nu prea avea ce sa caute acolo , are doar un HTHS de 3,11 , puteai folosi Amsoil European Formula si deja era altceva...
Salut!
Observ că multă lume confundă uleiul Mobil cu Mobil1. Ar fi meritat un test, diferența de preț e uriașă, cred că și calitatea diferă mult.
which is the best oil you have tested, which is the most impressive? I love your videos and your tests thank you very much.
Look in the description for a link to Oil Data Table, his lubricity tests are ranked
can you please do more on American motor oils please? Thanks
Sergiu, ai putea incerca si uleiul Eneos?
Another oil recommendation for test - agrinol (Ukraine) 5w40, it is available in Bulgaria and extremely cheap, also Mannol 5w40 extreme is another cheap oil but is very very easy to find, and no issues with using it for the last 3-4 years
В Украине агринол покупают только госпредприятия в бочках 200 литрах
Could you please test Rowe Oil, the opinions among petrolheads are very mixed. Would be very thankful
Would very much like to see test results for Mobile 1, and to know why it merits being the official motor oil for NASCAR.
can you put al the oils you tested to a google spread sheat and sort them from best to worst? Maybe also use other layouts for different viscosity? b.r.
Great idea!
Sorry for the delay. The data is in the description now, so you can have a look over it.
Excelent. Great work and best regards from Slovenia.
Hello Andrej! Here you can find a top of oils www.testedbysergiu.com/best-engine-oil#h.ef5xu9ukz8g
@@SergiuGabor awesome! u r the best mate
Please test Voltronic 5w30 HCO Engine Oil! Thanks
I use Triax with some nanoparticules, and is cheap,usa army use Triax too , Bardahl use nanotehnology too.
Wow tnx
Poate reusesti sa faci un versus intre Eneos, Motul si Ravenol
hello if you doing an oil test again i would try out ROWE from germany,its one of the best oils
Thank you
Im watching from libya
Thanks
Salut Sergiu
Te rog frumos o părere...
Ce sa pun în motor 1.6 diesel
Ravenol FDS
Sau
Amsoil?
Valvoline Synpower 5w40 vs Ravenol VST 5w40 USVO? Car: Bmw 325i (3.0l N53b30). I used to use Valvoline but i'm looking for something better. Do you guys think that Ravenol VST will make a difference?
Dacă am o mașină al cărei motor consumă ulei și două bidoane de ulei, unul cu vâscozitatea cinematică 0W-50 și celălalt, 10W-30, amândouă recomandate mașinii/motorului în cauză, pe care ar trebui să îl pun pentru a limita fenomenul respectiv? Știi cumva?
Mulțumesc!
Hello from India 🙏, Which is the best VW approved 505 00, 505 01 5w-40 fully synthetic oil for my 2011 VW Polo 1.2 TDI done 150000kms till date .
Do the gasoline and diesel premium vs normal tests please preaty please. set it on fire i dont care just test gas.
Also love bloopers at the end :D great job. proper scientific way.
Can you perform test on xteer hyundai oil ♥️
It would be awesome of you tested Mannol, it is cheap as dirt. Is it just crap or an acceptable oil?
Salut! Data viitoare incearca si eneos :) sustina, cel normal.
Eneos, redline, fuchs oil
Sr. I'm between motul x-cess 5w40 vs valvoline synpower 5w40..
Wich one is better?
Salut. De uleiul ‘Pakelo’ ai auzit, stii ceva despre el?
Repsol oil is very good I use it on Yamaha FZ6 s2
Can you make a subjective oil preference list?
Please test MANNOL Oil, it is very common in Europe and is well known for one of the best price/quality ratio.
Toilet b-roll was golden, lol.
Salutare, ce mașina ai și ce ulei bagi, ms?
