Fordboss talks alot about different oils. Seemed to like the high level Penzoil and the Valvoline. The additive packages are all pretty similar with some slightly better than others. Variances could be more impact on different engines. Just use high quality stuff and change it more frequent. I think the 10k and 20k changes are ruining engines. Just my 2 cents, retired mechanical engineer.
@kairu_aname
@kairu_aname 6 месяцев назад
That 10k oil change is so the motor doesn't last long after warranty. Then you have to buy another motor or in many cases the labor to change the motor out(plus motor) is more expensive than just buying another car in many cases because the car is effectively totalled.

I did 300k miles at 10k intervals. Got nothing to do with it. The only problem with the higher intervals is people think they can let it go longer than they should. So, they change it at like 12k-15k. Oil breaks down when it breaks down, and that is when engine gets damaged. If the oil lasts longer, then you don't need to change it is a often.

Hi Ray, been a mechanic since the 80s. I remember amsoil coming to the school(DTI) and training us about lubrication and physical practical tests. I'm also an amsoil dealer, arriving here because of the need for specific high end oils difficult to source locally. I've tested the signature series diesel(5w40) 20k miles. I also changed the lower oil pan ( previous owner stripped the drain plug) At 200k miles, the om642 is super clean inside and still runs like new. Bear in mind this vehicle is driven also by 3 of my children basically driving it like they stole it. You probably won't be able to stress test like we can 😂

Like Ray said, you just don't run your Explorer hard enough regularly to make a difference. All these oils met the SAE standard. Some are made to perform, the best are made to overperform. What does PF's tests show about oil's after 50 heat cycles, overheating, contamination. water or fuel dilution? None of us know because he don't test for that. He just shows his 'lab's' before and after test results on the new used for the test.

A bypass system is a great route paired with a good oil. The oil I use is Pennzoil Ultra 5w-30 changing at 5,000 miles. The Amsoil bypass system as with others allow you to use a filter with a 1 inch or larger mount there by having a two quart or more 2-3 micron filter. Go bypass do your regular oil changes then change the bypass filter at 30,000 to 50,000 miles.

I always buy the Cheap Rural King Oil and change it often. It think it is much more important to run clean oil than really high priced oil. My 2002 F150 has a 527,000 miles on it. I bought it new and it has the Original Motor and Transmission. Never any major problems. It only takes a 10 minutes to change it. All Oil may not be the same, but carbon is carbon. Your engine makes the same amount of it and it contaminates your oil and makes abrasive no matter how expensive it is.

An unopened bottle of cheap, dead dinosaur technology petroleum motor oil is not really, "clean". Pouring that stuff into an engine worth many thousands of dollars is *pouring contaminants into that engine*. Search the Internet for this article, "Synthetic Oil: Rx for Long Engine Life", by Curt Scott. "Crude oil possesses thousands of varieties of contaminants, depending on the oils geographical and geological origins, which no amount of refining can entirely remove. Corrosive acids, paraffins and other waxes, heavy metals, asphalt, naphthenes and benzenes, as well as countless compounds of sulphur, chlorine, and nitrogen, remain in the finished product". Changing oil often is very expensive and also subjects the engine to repeated dry starts, robbing thousands of miles in wear from its life. The aforementioned article is very interesting. The 3,000 mile drain pain is from the 1960's, over 60 years ago.

Retired GM tech. I use Penzoil motor oil. At the refineries' they all fill up at the same tap. The difference is the additives. I do not have a diesel engine. I have asked the question many times, what one thing did the manufactures do to extend the life of engines? When I started in GM Dealerships {1979} we overhauled engines at 50k. The old carburetor dumped raw fuel down into engines. This rich fuel mixture washed cylinder walls and caused engine oil breakdown and engine wear. As everything switched to fuel injection engine life went up and wear went down. The life of motor oil also went up. When I am asked about oil recommendations, my answer is the best oil is oil that is changed when it is needed. I would stay away from very cheap oil, medium grade is fine. Engine that are subject to start and stop short trip city driving needs to be changed more often. On the other hand, when highway driving is involved, the engine reaches normal operating temperatures, {low engine wear conditions} condensation is burnt off, lubrication is working good, longer oil life is the result. Driving habits are important. Keep a record book in glove box, this is important. Forgetting to change engine oil for 20k to 35k will shorten engine life greatly. There used to be a commercial on TV, pay me now or pay me more later. Preventive Maintenace is worth the time and money it costs. My recommendations Ray.
@acdii

Also keep in mind engines built today are more refined, better materials, computer controlled machining, and majority are built by machines and have much tighter tolerances. Oils have vastly improved over the last 2 decades as well. Today it takes an extreme use case to need an overhaul at 50K. Engines today easily get 200K or more before needing work. I believe the days of the Vega engine are LONG GONE!

Something a lot of people don't take into account when talking about oil is the particles of combustion that get past the rings and contaminate the oil with soot which does a lot of damage , when you go 6000 plus miles with your oil of choice it isn't the failure of the oil that kills your engine it is the abrasive soot , I have been around heavy equipment for 40 years and trying to skip oil change intervals to save a couple of bucks costs thousands in the long run because your filter can only remove so much before it is doing nothing more than bypassing .Oils today are all good if used right and for their intended purpose .For those of you who insist on going 15000 miles on your pick ups , then at least spin a new filter on at about 7000 miles .

It doesn't burn a drop of oil no leaks and gets almost 30MPG. TIP: my oil changes have these extra steps: Drain oil. Leave drain plug open. Pour in about 16 oz of diesel fast. Let drain. Marvel at how dirty it comes out. Pour in about 16 oz of cheap-o supertech oil to 'rinse out' diesel. While that drains, change oil filter. close up drain plug and do your oil fill.

ALL oil protects against thermal breakdown, it lubricates, etc....the important part is regular oil changes. For whatever reason, I end up with Valvoline, Castrol GTX, or Mobil 1. I use mystery oil additive and a fuel treatment every 5 fill-ups. My odometers are at 217k, 115k, and my crown jewel is 1983 Toyota Celica with a 22-RE engine....313 THOUSAND MILES.

I used to run it as well. I've only ever had 2 engines fail 1 was a CAT that had an injector go full rich and washed one cylinder (and it's oil) and started knocking real bad. Fortunately it was a lease because the mechanic would not fix it when it was just a small knock. The other was an Astro van I bought very used with a 4.3 and app 300000km. To be honest it still ran but started fouling 2 spark plugs on a regular basis. So I say quality oil always changed before it turned tar like and don't look back.

I have a 2007 BMW X3 3.0d (6cyl diesel - not available in the US). It has only 153,000km on the clock. I intend to keep the car for the long term. i recently fitted a Provent 200 oil catch can to my engine. It wasn't easy as there was not much room under the bonnet but after some modifications to the catch can mounts I finally got it installed. I use a locally sourced (Australia) fully synthetic oil (5w40) called Nulon. I also make sure the oil is suitable for use in vehicles with DPF filters fitted. I have been more recently performing much of the car maintenance myself. I have decided to service my intake manifold and was staggered when I removed the throttle body with the EGR valve attached to back of the throttle body. Without any exaggeration there was approximately 1cm of carbon and oily mess around the inside circumference of the EGR valve and a serious amount of carbon around the intake manifold (plastic). I am in the process of cleaning all this built up carbon off the manifold with a flat bladed screwdriver, a brass brush in a cordless 1/4inch impact driver and oven cleaner. It is coming off with a fair degree of effort. I am amazed the car ran so well with the amount of carbon buildup. More recently I have been changing the oil about every 5,000-8,000km. I believe preventative maintenance is the best approach with any car particularly those with diesel engines.

i have always changed my oil regularly as well as the filter every time anywhere from 3k-5k miles with full synthetic oil. i never used the high tier oil cause of price, but do agree that any decent mid tier oil is a good minimum for someone like me who just uses ones vehicle just to go to and from work along with some light traveling.

I truly believe in Amsoil my dad had a company truck it was a 2010 f250 with the 5.4 3v and they said he could do the oil changes at home the truck had 60,000 miles on it when he got it and I started to run amsoil 5w20 signature series and we were doing the oil changes at every 15,000 miles by the time he retired from that job the truck had 430,000 miles on it all original every fluid in that truck had Amsoil

I look at the recommended spec by the engine manufacturer and make sure that the oil I buy meets the specs they set such as Ford WSS M2C913-C/D. I can get good oil that does not meet that spec, but I wont use it in my car. I also do oil changes every 7500km (4660 miles) when the manufacturer recommends every 15000km (9320 miles), and so far this has worked really well for me.

Back in the seventies I rean a Jeep 258 CID engine on Mobil 1 did full changes every 15,000 miles but changed the filter and added one quart every 5,000 miles. When an exhaust valve failed at 300,000 miles, we checked the cam and found no visible wear and very little varnish build up, and most importantly no sludge in the engine. We redid the head and replaced the valve assemblies, put in a new timing chain and gears. put a new water pump on the engine and ran for almost another hundred thousand miles before selling it for almost what I paid for it brand new.

Im a Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum guy but I think the Super Tech & Kirkland full synthetics are a great value for what they are. I'd just offer a premium and a budget option. Even the budget oil change will be a decent full synthetic, it just wouldn't be something I'd try running 20k miles. Growing up, my dad was an Amzoil dealer, but without the discount anymore I moved on to Pennzoil. As a regular consumer, I feel it's the best bang for my buck. The Ultra Platinum isn't Dexos rated so I can't use it in my truck until the warranty is up, that's why it gets the Platinum, everything else gets Ultra.

40 + year mechanic here. I've seen and used many different oils over the years. Early Pennsylvania crude oils were very high in paraffin, causing sludge even if they were changed regularly because the heat released the wax and sludged up the engines. You don't see that anymore really. Most important thing is regular interval changes. Never go as long as a manufacturer recommends. Case in point, I had a customer using Castrol in a Volvo and followed the manual. The engine use two quarts in between changes and was getting dirty. I advised him if using synthetic to go no longer than 5,000 MI. He was skeptical but did it. By the third oil change the vehicle stopped using oil and the engine cleaned up. BTW.... I've actually been using the Walmart Supertech brand oil lately, the API service and added a packages are similar to many leading brands, and the oil fares well under scrutiny. I change the oil in my Toyota every 3000 miles with this oil,And supertech filter, which is also rated well, and my engine is perfect and super clean. Just one man's input......

Any quality oil that meets API certification is a good oil to name a few. (Valvoline, Chevron, Shell, Mobil) If you were working on premium vehicles, then use the best Amsoil oil. The vehicles you service is worth all that. So dont waste their money. Frequent oil changes is cheap insurance. Dont go for 10k mile oil changes. Max 5-6k or 6 months change the oil.

@vegasfordguy

I'd rather use Walmart or Costco synthetic oil and do 4-5 thousand mile oil changes vs using Pennzoil ultra platinum or Amsoil and run higher mile intervals. Especially on forced induction engines as more frequent oil changes are critical in the new turbocharged engines. The bypass filter is an excellent idea, but I certainly wouldn't try running 30k miles as that's just asking for trouble. As I'm sure you know, Project Farm has extensively tested engine oils and the top two were Amsoil and Pennzoil ultra platinum, however for your average everyday vehicle I doubt if you'll see a benefit. I still think that more frequent oil changes are the way to go and several Ford and GM techs would strongly agree. In your case where you're running your truck hard, the Amsoil would benefit it, but I'd still do more frequent oil changes.

Ray, I am excited that you are an Amsoil dealer. If I were there, I would give you all my business, but I will utilize your discount link. Amsoil has been tested by many people on this platform and proven to be superior to "medium grades" due to the additive package and friction modifiers. Amsoil touts extended oil changes. What if the oil filter was changed at 3k, then the oil and filter at 6k? Amsoil is worth it and your customers are getting a much better oil for as you pointed out previously, nearly the same price as commodity oil.

So Ray, this is such an interesting subject and one in which I feel somewhat educated on. According to Blackstone labs, there is no difference in the tests that have run in regards to one oil being better than another for longevity or wear metals…as long as the oil meets the spec for the car. Now, having said that, I do believe that products like Amsoil shine when an extreme event takes place such as an overheating situation…it will continue to protect when others start to fail. This is where my research has taken me. If anyone out there has some experience here please let me know.

Amsoil had a SLIGHTLY better viscosity index than Mobil 1 (ability to regulate viscosity over a wide temp range) and at the time was not API certified. Other than that, No mentionable difference in lubrication protection or additive package. The extra cost and less availability of Amsoil has me using Mobil 1. You will need to change your filter @ 5000 miles anyway because most will by-pass @ just over that.

I had to add a quart at 3.5k and 4.5k. I do not have any external leaks as I am very meticulous about maintenance. I reverted back to the synthetic blend and plan on 3k oil changes going forward. The full synthetic blend was obviously not a high end product such as Amsoil.

Oil changes at regular intervals with a decent quality synthetic oil will protect your engine. 5,000 km to 6,000 km (3,000 miles - 4,000 miles).

No sludge deposits at all.

Since I can't find Amsoil by me I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum with Purolator Boss oil Filters but either way I wouldn't press oil past 5k since it's a lot cheaper than a new motor. Also one thing about both of those oils is smaller more consistent oil molecule size which is their claim to fame.

Yeah I looked into Amsoil when it first came out the prize point was not there and could not justify robbing my customer with an overpriced oil oil change.

At sea, oil samples are taken regulary and sent for analysis. This is the best way to ascertain the condition of the oil in a SYSTEM ( engine , g/box, or whatever) Yes it costs money, But, the cost can be cheaper in the long run, knowing your oil is up to spec for continued use.

Just had my f250 6.2l trans. serviced with amsoil ATF. Only 30k on the clock but it pulls 12k during summer shredding season. I noticed I was in 6th gear and never felt a shift😮😊 Wow.....and it cost me 130.00. Yeah beat that. How they can afford to do it baffles me. 16.7 qts of amsoil, and only 130 bucks? They use only amdoil and royal purple products. Now my driveline is fully serviced, and ready for more tractor towing and mowing😊

Amsoil has a great reputation and has been around for a long time. Project Farm as proven it to be a best performance oil. Thanks Ray!

I have a 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid and I run exactly what Ford says. Motorcraft Full Synthetic 0W20 (Conoco Phillips) Motorcraft Oil Filter (Purolator) and BG MOA for Hybrids. I have the intelligent oil life sensor that I monitor, but I also have free tire rotation every 6K miles so I change the oil at the same time regardless of the oil life percentage. That is my plan and I intend to stick to it, no Scamsoil for me.

Ray, the petroleum base does not break down. It is the addative package that breaks down. Your product is very good at adding great addative packages to extend the anti wear characteristics of a motor oil. I found over 28 years of testing in a fleet environment the best oil was from a company in Texas called Petroleum Engineers. They were very good and your oil was very close if not equal to them. P.E. actualy made the lubrication for the Space shuttle doors which was an environment that was super hard. You do what you think is best but as a fleet manager and tester of this issue that is my opinion.
