How much of what's on the label is marketing versus science? We analyzed a bottle of conventional 5W-30 Pennzoil, High Mileage 5W-30 Pennzoil, and Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 Synthetic to find the differences. Watch as Certified Lubrication Specialist, Lake Speed Jr, reveals the findings. The results are quite interesting...

@jason200912 I use the platinum mileage on my car & just platinum on my wife's. I did use Royal Purple for years and got over 300k on my G6. I then had a mechanic friend tell me they changed their formula and it wasn't as good. He recommended Amsoil and I used that for a few years without complaint. Then Project Farm turned me onto the Pennzoil products with his comparison of Amsoil and Pennzoil. They are similar, but Pennzoil is cheaper. This is just my opinion

@lklpalka 10 месяцев назад

Good advice here, very thorough breakdown! I was very young in 1963 but I remember my dad got a tutorial from the local Ford dealer as he was handed the keys to the baby blue Country Squire. Quick first oil change, vary highway speeds, don't race rpms especially when cold, 'baby' it from a stop. (trans care was mentioned too) After 3,000 miles he could relax but still change every 3 to 3,500 miles. The engine was a 260 v8 I remember from the cool front fender logo. Great car that served for many years until Pennsylvania road salt finally ate the body and wood grain.

The reason people are questioning the new spec is because not all of the brands who manufacture GF-6/SP certified oil do a good job plain and simple. They just don't, and Pennzoil isn't who I'm referring to. Some of the others just do not have adequate additive packages. A lot SN/SN+ oil were perfectly fine but from my understanding the push for the new spec was based not on concern for longevity of the engine. Fuel economy was a big factor. Maybe I'm wrong I don't know.

I can tell you from experience, these are all very good quality oils. The first 75,000 miles, almost every single oil change was Pennzoil 5W-30 conventional. After that I started using Pennzoil 5W-30 high mileage oil. Normally use a Bosch premium oil filter or other premium filter. I’ve never tried the fully synthetic. I change my oil every 4000 - 5000 miles. I have a 2007 Toyota Tacoma 4.0 V6 with 145,000 miles that I bought brand new, and it still runs like brand new. It’s very easy changing the oil myself.

The Pennzoil platinum may also contain ashless anti oxidants and organic friction modifiers that may not show up on any type of elemental analysis, consider another big part of Dexos1 Generation 3 was lowering the ash threshold from 1.0% to 0.9%. Also having less moly in the the full syn may be that the blends are using a dinuclear type of moly while the full syn is use a trinuclear variety which is more effective in a lower concentration.

@nofascistsonmywatch 5 месяцев назад

Given the (to me at least) low moly levels in almost all newer oils (as compared to the older, pre-SN spec oils), I thought that they ALL are using the newer 'trimer' (trinuclear) type of moly, which is more effective than the old(er) 'dimer' (dinuclear) stuff, therefore much less of it is needed to get the same results/effect. ??

You can’t use a UOA to show any oil being superior to another wear wise. You could run mobil 1 vs Pennzoil synthetic side by side on chassis dynos and there would be virtually zero difference in wear between them. It’s actually been done in taxis (white papers are available online). When you get into synthetics (GTL, PAO, polyol ester, hydro cracked group III… there just isn’t any huge advantage one oil base over another unless you are in EXTREME cold or you need a long OCI… just the facts.

I am at the same level of comprehension. Fortunately, one doesn't have to know much to be able to function in this world. All one has to do is pay attention to the car servicing, do it earlier than the manual suggests (all the mfg. wants is for the car to do 3 years or 36,000 miles -which is really only two years). Oil changes? I take a factory filter in. I give multiple copies of what is to be examined or lubed (oh, yes, you can lube places under the car although the mfgs. don't say so). The family has had 4 of the same generation of a car model. Three are gone and attained over 250,000 miles each. Mine is the last, 20 years old and running like the first day, brand new. It will outlive me.

Day one, it was burning oil at a rate of 1-1/2 quarts per 5,000 mile oil change using 5w20. I'm not much into addditives, so i tried Mobil 1, Pennzoil Platinum, even Kendall oil. Even ran some Lucas oil. The magic combo was the Valvoline MaxLife synthetic blend oil, as it reduced my burn rate to less than 1/2 a quart between oil changes. Since then, I've been a strong supporter of Valvoline high mileage motor oils. And yes, the brand of oil filters does aid in the longevity of oils as well. Used to be a Wix user, but saw lots of cut open inspections and saw glue chunks floating around in their canisters from factory. New filters, too. I'm more into either Mobil 1 or NAPA premium filters now, even Motorcraft.

@themotoroilgeek 9 месяцев назад

The Valvoline Max Life Blend is an amazing oil. I've seen great results with that oil in many engines.

@thatairplaneguy 8 месяцев назад

It’s always been my understanding that high milage oils just have more seal conditioners in it. I’m glad i understood correctly. Now, the big question is what is more cost effective, the high milage oil or an off the shelf additive added to regular oil? Which has more conditioner? The HM oil at 6qt or the additive diluted over 6qts? Then you can deduce the price per qt of the conditioner.

I'm an asphalt guy and always had a work vehicle that had gotten descent mileage and one that didn't break the bank because I get pretty dirty working and don't want to have to worry about a car or truck because of work sites. So, I run Valvoline high mileage synthetic blend in ranger since I bought it and it now has 508,000+ miles and still rocking the original engine transmission and rear end!

@Aprilseahorse 22 дня назад

My experience working at GM dealershis, and also had it explained by GM representatives, that the additives in the High Mileage oils that are meant to stop oil leaks actually swell seals and lead to quickly failure. Even more killing the good seals in a short period of time. I also saw this happen in vehicles being serviced in our shops. Just take care of your vehicle or pay the price later.

Thank you. Finally, someone setting the world straight on TBN. I also hope the Amsoil "experts" listened to what you said about PAO and additives and realize the term 10-0% and full mean the same thing. Amsoil has some Group III in them so the additives can mix. I think Amsoil makes a great product but they should teach all of their "experts" it is their additive package that makes their oil perform, not the "100%" synthetic base, which it is not.

Exactly. There is no such thing as a "100% synthetic" oil. All motor oils come from the ground as crude. What you're paying extra for is more refining and a better additive package. Amsoil does not even make their own oil, they buy it from a bulk dealer and just add their additive package.

Just found your channel. Sub'd. Very interesting content for me. I ran a PAO unit back in the 80's down near Deer Park Texas. We used the normal Decene feedstock and Boron fluoride / normal propanol super acid catalyst. Was a good running plant. But we were limited in throughput. So I was put in charge to build a second production unit to triple the capacity. I know the PAO is quite difficult to get almost anything to dissolve in it. And it is fairly difficult to oxidize, as we had only a couple of small fires out in the tank farm area. But once on fire, it was extremely difficult to put out as the water just doesn't stay close to the oil on fire so we did things on an overkill basis and tried to overwhelm it with volume... I also had a friend working just down the street at Lubrizol and he told me that the additive packages for PAO are in his words extreme to get things to work. I will start now, going back and watching a bunch of your older and newer videos. I was friends with several of the researchers up in Cincinnati research and we discussed this topic often, and it seems when I was doing this (for about 5 years or so) the additive package was very dependent on the ester they used to blend with, now it seems I know a bit more about why. For background....... Chem Engineer, getting old now, and retired. But always interested in the chemistry more than the engineering.

Back in the mid 90's we had a lubrication specialist come into the place I worked. At the time, with the vehicle technology when many people drove pre-fuel injected vehicles (like I still do!), he said that if you change your oil every 3000 miles, like I still do, it really doesn't matter what oil you use. People say I'm wasting money changing my oil and filter every 3000 miles. It works for me, since I'm still driving my '94 Chevy 4x4 with a 350 with 300,000 miles on it that still doesn't burn any oil and I've never done a single repair to the engine. I've had to replace the water pump, radiator and AC compressor once each, and 6 starters, but the engine itself is still original and never repaired in any way.

@JohnT-j4e 4 месяца назад

Do you have any oil leaks? Such as at valve cover/front crank seal/cam seal/rear main seal/etc...??? If you do I am curious where/when in mileage and time did the particular leak occur? I am trying to see if there is any benefits to more shorter change interval to minimize seal leaks repair but my experience has been that around 12-15 years or around 120-150k I would start to have leakage even though my oil change interval has always been at 5k. First leak is usually valve cover, follows by oil pan and now rear main seal...ughhh too expensive and not worth of repairing. I am really surprised that yours engine never leaked a drop being 30 years old and additionally the fact that you are putting in approx 10k a year which means many short trips and multiple heating cyclings the seal has to hardened no????

This is the sort of information I have been looking for. I've a new vehicle with 2.0L Ecoboost, and before I decide on which oil I want to use for the long haul, I want to learn something about the oils themselves and their differing characteristics and potential benefits over each other. As I am leaning towards a small number of brands, Pennzoil being one of them, this has been really quite helpful in educating myself. Now I need to scour your channel and see if you mention the other brands I'm considering too. BTW: I work in a dealership and can use the OEM grade full synthetic Motorcraft oil, and get it at a discount, but I want to be assured I'm protecting my investment the best way possible, even if it costs me a couple dollars more w/each oil change. And I don't recommend or subscribe to the manufacturers extended oil change intervals as I've seen the good and bad to following that practice. One needs to be honest with the affects of their operating environment and the demands their driving habits on what required maintenance should be followed.

@themotoroilgeek Год назад

Thanks for the comment. We have several other videos on the channel that should be helpful. The key is not picking a brand first. That should be the last choice. Start with the application and work from there. Then choose the brand you trust to deliver that product consistently. Since you have an EcoBoost, the key is getting a product designed for direct injection engines. The Motorcraft is a great oil to start with. Do used oil analysis to establish a baseline and then try a different oil (like the Pennzoil Ultra) to see if it actually reduces wear for your engine.

@@themotoroilgeek My big concern it first matching the recommended specifications, then determining which one might be less prone to promote varnish and reduce wear.

Since I'm older now I don't outright run my vehicles hard, but more spirited, nonetheless.

Cost is a factor here as well as oil change intervals [ every 3000 miles for my truck]. I like 15w40 for all my air cooled engines, mowers, log splitter, etc.because 10w30 allows too much wear and heat.When in doubt always go with the heavy duty stuff.

VW, AUDI used first Castrol 5w30 oil now the Pannzoil 0w30 or the same in EU called SHELL III VW. It is one of the few how can cope with the 18.000 mile oil service or every 2 years service. It is a great oil. Engine can last + 200.000 miles. Thanks for the explenation.

I just found this channel and I can't get enough. Ive been using pennzoil platinum or ultra platinum and wix synthetic filters for over 20 years. One of our vehicles is a 2010 dodge with the 3.5 V6. It just turned 200k and is still quiet as a mouse. Isn't that unheard of? It's got to be the oil.
