I've been using Castrol Edge High Mileage 5W-30 Full Synthetic for two or three years now. My 2.5L T5 engine was burning about .5qt to 1 qt every 2,500 miles. Since switching to Castrol Edge, I've noticed that the engine oil burning has slowed down quite a bit. The additives in Castrol Edge High Mileage really do seem to work in engines with over 100,000. I've been pretty impressed with it and will keep purchasing it for my car for now on.

@cashwilson2571 Месяц назад

How about doing g 1 quart of Castrol 1 quart of pennzoil platnum 1 quart of Royal purple 1quart of amsoil and then half quart of supertech in my engine? That would be the best oil in my opinion. Would that be a smart thing to do orrr?

@wolvesfan1973 4 года назад

Good video!! As you said ALL the oils are good so it just depends on what your partial too. Me I prefer Valvoline Max Life as Ive never had any issues whatsoever with it. My 2nd choice would be Pennzoil. Ive never used RP, Mobil 1 or Castrol so dont have an opinion on those brands but Im sure they work just fine.

@stevenjack23331 9 месяцев назад

Stay away from Castrol oils. I've used it and it runs hot and kinda rough. Mobil1 is great and what I usually use. This oil change I used Pennzoil Platinum. Seems like a good oil but have noticed the engine temp runs a couple degrees warmer. RP is an ok oil but in my experience it lasts about 2k miles and starts to break down. More of a racing oil that's changed often.

@Kiddomike 3 года назад

I like Project Farm’s videos. However, he failed to mention that the top 4 oils in his competition videos does not have the API donut seal. Why? Because those oils have exceeded the amount of additives, specifically, ZDDP additive, which API thinks prematurely destroys catalytic converters and puts out more harmful fumes out the exhaust. Without the API restriction (and the donut seal), obviously, those oils came out on top because they have more anti-wear and detergent additives.

I’ve been changing my own oil since 1965. I have been very cognizant of what ratings are on oils. I follow all ratings and purchase oil based on those ratings. My oil changes originally (1965) started at around $3 (including filter). Today I’m doing between $15-$18 (including Supertech $3 oil filter or Toyota $5 OEM filter). I purchase oil that’s on sale only, brand doesn’t matter, ratings do matter. In the 60’s and 70’s any engine that went over 100,000 miles was a rarity, we just didn’t keep cars that long. Even in the 80’s, cars didn’t go that high of mileage. My first car that went over this was a 1990 Lincoln Town car, bought used from a lease at 33,000 miles, and sold at 157,000 miles, because the wheel wells were starting to develop rust (Chicago area salt). After I switched to Honda’s, every one lasted at least 150,000 miles average. In 2006 I changed to synthetic oils, and that 2006 Accord 4 cyl. lasted over 200,000 miles before a black ice accident totaled it. I changed oil every 6,000 mile intervals on that Honda. I now change at 5,000 mile intervals & use Supertech oil filters. I use car mfg. oil viscosity recommendations and buy oil on sale, any brand that meets API, etc. ratings. Thanks....Jim.

Usually Castrol GTX or Edge was the cheapest and it just so happens that Mazda (car I own) recommends Castrol for its engines. But now I'm seeing Castrol's oil is expensive on Amazon.

FYI - SuperTech Engine Oil Filters are also good, which are comparable to Fram's Tough Guard. Been using them with Valvoline MaxLife 5w30 Synthetic Blend (Red Bottle) for years with zero issues. The key to long engine life is to use great products and follow the owner's manual guidance in regards to Engine Oil/Filter Change Intervals in accordance with respective operation environments (at the most), such as regular and severe conditions. Personally, I change both between 2,750 to 3,000 miles max without fail.

@megaman4201 2 года назад

@@wasatchm that's too long, oil is cheap enough that you should never go over 10,000, just inviting trouble. Claiming such long change intervals is simply a marketing strategy, while your engine may not blow up it's definitely not good for it. Engine oil is continually being contaminated through intake air, combustion, condensation. Some engines can tolerate that type of abuse better than others.

@wasatchm 2 года назад

thanks. I've just talked to 2 mechanics and both said the oil will never go bad just sitting their in your vehicle. I use amsoil fully synthetic which is suppose to go up to 25K miles. it is very expensive that is why I ask. if I had cheaper synthetic oil, I would probably just change it out. my truck I never drive (maybe 500 miles/year). so I will not waste money changing the oil in that unless it looks dirty. my car (which also uses amsoil) will get an oil change at the 24 month mark (I am currently putting about 5K miles on it per year) unless it looks dirty. I understand your point about how cheap oil is. but personally, I just think it is a sales tactic used by the oil manufacturers to sell more oil. but, I don't drive anything expensive. if I had a more expensive vehicle, I may agree with you. my vehicles are usually only worth 2K or 3K.

@wasatchm 2 года назад

by the way, I think high end synthetic oil (such as amsoil) can make your engine last a long, long time without frequent oil changes. I bought a 2001 nissan frontier with 59K miles. immediately started doing 25K oil/oil filter changes using amsoil products. had no engine problems whatsoever until I hit the 327K mile mark when I blew a head gasket.

@Pentax645 2 года назад

I use Amsoil which claims to be good for 25,000 miles. A few years ago I kept it in my 100,000 mile, 2006 Toyota Highlander 18,200 miles. In draining it, I sent a sample to Blackstone Labs for analysis. The report came back that the oil had remarkably little metal in it, indicating very little engine wear. The report also said that the oil was good for more miles. Personally, I don't recommend going 25,000 miles unless you have a late model car and your driving is mostly highway.

@83alpinab9 4 года назад

I've worked in the auto industry for 30yrs and diagnosed many oil pressure and/failed engines traced back to Pennzoil (sort of). Let me explain. People do not change their oil on a regular basis and deposits and sludge build up in the engine. This is bad but not engine failure bad. The examples I've run into were all engines that were not maintained properly and had significant deposits/sludge build up and all had recently been to Jiffy Lube and had fresh Pennzoil in them. Pennzoil is very high detergent and washed out the engine and caused the oil pump pick-up screen to clog and starved the oil pump causing the loss of oil pressure and in some cases where the owner did not stop driving when the oil pressure warning system told them there was a problem it caused complete engine failure. I believe these customers were probably not using full synthetic and most likely the base Pennzoil (I had heard it was paraffin based). Had they used a less detergent oil all of the deposits would have stayed where they were and not washed into the pick-up screen. Not really a Pennzoil problem, but more of an observation.

I've used Penzoil and valvoline for most of my younger years (conventional). I've been using super tech synthetics due to buying it in the past for the same price as standard oil from standard brands. Haven't had a single engine or oil related issue with a vehicle since using supertech. 108k miles on my tundra using 0W20 supertech, had a Mitsubishi raider pickup before that made it to 150k no major trouble aside from it being a Dodge Dakota with a Mitsubishi badge. As long as standards and maintenance intervals are met supertech will definitely do the job. Not saying its better but definitely shoots above the belt price wise.

@teamdada2194 Год назад

Supertech haha. You really don’t care about your vehicles do you? No they don’t bottle supertech and mobil 1 in the same factory bubs.

@trentfranks4507 Год назад

@@teamdada2194never said they were bottled in the same facility. I've owned 6 or 7 vehicles and never had a single oil related problem or engine issue other than maintenance items (coil packs, spark plugs, belts ect.).

@@trentfranks4507 I know you didn’t say that. I stated that to answer the replys before they all came out and said it. I’ve heard it at least a thousand times. I would never use supertech unless it was a lease vehicle but to each their own.

@teamdada2194 8 месяцев назад

@@Jake-iw6qm no expert but it’s cheap for a reason. Spend another $5 a gallon and buy better oil. It’s not like you have to drop the oil every 2 mths. I use synthetic mobil 1 and drop it twice a yr. Using supertech for cars and trucks is like using rotella for semi trucks. Completely idiotic. The same guys doing that are the same guys buying china steer tires or walmart china tires for the car guys. Cmon.

Try replacing a quart of oil with a quart of Lucas Oil Stabilizer, as someone who has used it for years and knows plenty of people that do as well it’ll help that burning of oil and prolong the life of the engine

@MrMikey1273 4 года назад

I was a long time Castroil fan. Even the mechanic I used to go to swore it was one of the best brands. But I would have to say that with the newer standards all of them are going to be close. I noticed you only focused on oil for gasoline engines. I had to switch brands when I made the change to diesel engine ten years ago. Shell rotella t6 has been working well for me as a full synthetic diesel engine oil. My next vehicle might be gasoline again so I will probably choose a brand that meets the vehicle specs and is priced fairly and reasonable available.

@h-waytwan1257 4 года назад

Pennzoil Platinum is way better than Mobile 1, it was not shown here but it is better than Mobile 1 and about the same price, a better base oil makes a better oil and no oil it the world has a better base oil than Pennzoil platinum, the base oil is made from natural gas, not crude oil, Mobile 1 can not compete

Since I only change my oil once a year, even though SuperTech may be fine, Mobile 1 is only around 10.00 more. So to know for sure (yeah I'm biased) that I have a very good oil for the next year, that 10.00 more is well worth it to me.

@jameswagner5098 Год назад

I switched to Pennzoil Platinum recently and I may be crazy, but my car loves it. It seems to idle smoother, and is definitely quieter than before. That said, nothing wrong with my engine, just noticed the subtle difference and I’m sold on the Pennzoil Platinum. It’s a Ford and I was using Motorcraft Synthetic Blend which is good oil, but nowhere as good as the Pennzoil Platinum. In years past I ran Mobil 1 synthetic or Valvoline synthetic. I bought the Pennzoil because it was on a great sale, and have already bought more to do my next oil change.

Your not crazy, many will say you can't feel or really hear a difference but I beg to differ, I've had so many rides from 4x4 s to 4 banger high rev drifts to the most admired muscle cars with v8's and even now am enjoying an 06 mustang with the v6 and mild bolt on mods and most cars if you love your ride like I do let's ya know which oil it likes, but then again I'm crazy to :)

I worked as a BMW technician - 1999 to 2003. BMW’s used Mobil 1 synthetic oil, for their “extended” life oil change interval. At 15,000 miles, the oil looked like runny tar. It was absolutely awful! The oil filter element rarely came out in one piece. The filter resembled brittle plastic at 15K miles! Regardless, it wasn’t filtering anything for many thousands of miles! I told customers to change their oil every half-interval, as displayed by the oil indicator lights (or mileage counter) located in the instrument cluster. And damn right!! It is a free Country!!🇺🇸
