Can we take a second to appreciate this guy i mean he actually shows the testing he replies to almost every comment and he makes the manufactures heads explode. If there was a creators award he would get the highest level

I could not have been more skeptical of MotorKote's claims nor more shocked at your water test result! This was by far your most astounding test yet. :)

You're more comprehensive than Consumer Reports, and not biased like them. Love your tests!

My late father had heard of MotorKote on a late night trucking show and immediately purchased a deal containing 2 gallons of product and 4 aerosol cans of a penetrating oil sharing the same name circa 2007. He used it as prescribed and seemed satisfied with both products. He passed away in 2010 at 59. I, being his only son, got everything including the Motorkote and used it as sort of a tribute until it ran out about 2017 or so (yeah 2 gallons will last awhile on 2 vehicles and a lawn mower). Anyway, I had never been thoroughly convinced of the products effectiveness Tonight, as I worked on the lawnmower, I just let KZfaq guide the way and here we are. I feel obligated to see what the special are and rekindle a forgotten tribute to my daddy.

That the engine ran that long without oil is really astonishing. I was expecting 15 minutes max before it seized. To have run for a whole hour on water and then it be hard to tell if there's actually any damage or not is genuinely amazing.

Who would have guessed that a can of sea foam and an old ford ranger would have came this far. Have enjoyed every one of your videos, this is the best channel on KZfaq by far. Keep up the good work brother.

Man, am I satisfied with your testing on this. You really went the extra mile to put Motokote’s claims to the test.👏👍

The world needs judges like this guy…. Not paid off…. Not corrupt to be re elected….fair and balanced trials with nothing but fact… no emotions…this guy is one of the best most informative people on KZfaq period!!! Nice Work as always!!! Super Heroes don’t wear capes… they just get their hands dirty…

Wow! I don't ever take additive claims very seriously, but MotorKote's performance in the tests you did for this video have really impressed me. Once again you've done a great job testing products and presenting results. Thanks for the vids, keep em coming. *:D*

It appears Motorkote liked the results of your tests because they’ve added your video to their website.

Tell you an interesting story about my introduction in MotorKote. When this product first came out maybe 10yrs ago + or - . A friend of mine was machining some parts and he was trying to drill a hole into a block of steel on his press and kept on breaking carbide drill bits (very expensive) even though he was lubricating the bits. He had a bottle of MotorKote and we all said well lets try this stuff and he dipped a new carbide brill bit in MotorKote and the bit went through that steel block like butter!! We could not believe what we were seeing. He did it several more times on the other blocks with the same results and the bit was as sharp as ever. Just another use of MotorKote.

I’d say 95% of the time I have an idea how PF test results are going to go. Not this time. I was a little shocked. “We’re only going to run water in the crankcase for an hour” 😳

what the frick? an hour with only water in the crankcase? my jaw actually dropped! that's amazing!

"I'm going to run this engine for an hour with nothing but water in the crank case to test MotorKote's claims." MotorKote Representatives: *Spits out coffee* "What the WHAT?!" *Begins to sweat heavily* "The engine survived. I didn't find very much metal contamination at all." MotorKote Representatives: *Cheering and celebration*

This guy is the man. The only one I trust on KZfaq. THANK YOU!

Im a diesel technician since 2004 and I remember they used to sell this at the truck stops at sat brothers and drivers were claiming they were gaining 2/10 of a mile extra by using it years later I started using it cause it does work. Later on I purchased gmc Acadia 2008 and had the engine replaced not long after and shop installed OLD OIL PRESSURE sensor and started leaking oil not even 100 miles on my engine. I changed installed new from napa 60.00 oil pressure sensor and 6 months it leaked out ALL my engine oil but, i run a royal purple, moterkote,synthetic lucas mix and i didn’t notice tell i seen oil on ground and oil was a dot on dip stick i had drove at least 60 miles with 2 qts of oil on my new 3.6 and temp rased a little but always came back down. This stuff works and ill keep using it!

I'm a semi driver I heard of this about 12 years ago I put It in every 3rd oil change in a cat c15 i put over 2 million miles on did oil samples every 2nd oil change the sample always came back good i am a complete believer in this product

I have been using Motorkote for several years now and I really believe in this product. Everything from 70s Dodge Vans, boat motors, Gravely Tractors, Lawnboys, snowmobiles etc. I've had several impromptu tests. The first was a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am with about 150,000 hard miles on it that had all kinds of noises coming from it. I listened as I poured the specific dose into the running engine and to my surprise it got quiet! Second, was a mid 90s second hand Lawnboy 2 Cycle lawnmower that I purchased in a lot. It had the death rattle from day one and had slop in the shaft bearings. Well, whats done is done I figured so I decided I would mix a little Motorkote in with the gas every now and again and try to get what I could out of it. That mower ran 5 seasons for me due to what I feel was the Motorkote. Now, the test ended abruptly with it throwing it's connecting rod probably due to being repeatedly overheated and overstressed. Not good in some ways. The stuff is so good at what it does it could actually mask symptoms. The last test was my 1987 Yamaha Phazer snowmobile. I usually thow a little Motorkote in the gas tank and oil tank just as insurance. Well, two Winters ago it paid off. While out riding I noticed my exhaust pipe getting super hot. I thought perhaps a rodent had built a nest in it and it was just burning off. Well, about two miles more and I noticed a great loss of power and the heat was intense. The motor was not locked up but let's say it was tight. The oil pump on the oil injection system had quit unbeknownst to me! Thinking quickly I dumped the entire contents of the oil tank into the gas tank and waited for it to cool down. It started up and I ran it home at least 5 or more miles like that. Next day I performed hot and cold compression tests only to find that everything was still in specifications. Stuff smells really strange when it's burned in a 2 cycle and will probably end up killing me but it works! I'm not embellishing my story a bit. I mean I'm not surprised at all with your experiments. I have it in everything I own. Every third oil change on my street vehicles. I don't know what else to say. Seeing is believing. The Motorkote demonstration was enough to get me interested. The only time I would not recommend using it would be break-in on a new engine. You need heat and friction to seat piston rings etc. Good stuff folks! I'm not a paid endorser just a user.

I just love how you approach testing of the products. You sir are VERY IMPRESSIVE 😅

To run an engine with water instead of oil is outrageous-- I love it, and a study with such "unusual" elements conceived by your brain doesn't surprise me at all, esp/ after watching dozens of your other videos.!!! If this is your idea, I actually was quite surprised the engine survived 60 minutes - I was secretly waiting on it to seize up. Maybe you could do this same experiment using Duralube. Your videos are in a category by themselves, and I have to admit that they're quite addictive, for starters.I have used the results of quite a few of your vids as a guide when purchasing certain items. I've used Supertech Synthetic oil for over 20 years and your comparison study only reinforces my belief that this oil is truly a bargain. Keep up the fantastic job you do, and regards from Louisiana!

I'm one of the viewers that has asked for motorkote videos. I've used it in my tractor trailers, personal vehicles and lawn equipment. I've always seen a difference in temps on my driveline guages in the trucks and assumed it was doing it's job. Even oil analysis has shown good results. I knew you would put it to the test and prove if it was working or snake oil, but I didn't expect what I just watched! I enjoy your videos and will continue sharing! Keep it up!

I am floored. Excellent, thorough testing. I thought for sure the engine would have scoring in the cylinder walls after running for an hour with only water. This is by far the most impressive result I've seen from a product on your channel.

I love the youthful curiosity with which you test and quantify the results. It strongly lends itself to the intentions of the work and also the honesty of the conclusions that are drawn. Good stuff ! Too bad the business community won't try as hard as you do !

I'd like to see how this stuff improves the top 5 oils from your oil showdown.

You just sold a crap ton of motorkote.

Well, nothing much to say but I'm sold. Haha their sales are gonna go way up due to this video. Like others said, I've never heard of this product.

That was pretty amazing! One of the more surprising results I’ve watched. Great work, keep it up!

2020 was the year I became a MOTORKOTE Disciple...I'm a believer and have bought just about every product for Gasoline engines..All three of my vehicles are treated with Motorkote Engine Additives..👍👍👍

I’ve been using it in my peterbilt with a 550 cat motor. Just had a inframe rebuild at 1.7 million. The mechanics were amazed at the cylinder walls. The rebuild was due to a head problem. While they replaced it I went ahead and had a gold kit done. Looking for another 1.7 million miles👍🏻

Motorkote makes a lubricant spray, fuel injector cleaners, and fuel optimizers... Please test them.

You Sir are a test God!!! I cannot say enough how happy I am I found your channel! Thank you again for kicking butt!!!

I really enjoy your practical approach to testing. I'm sure it's a challenge to devise tests that reflect real-world conditions.

I have a series 60 Detroit in a 2000 Freightliner and run Motorkote in it as well as a (Golfcoast) bypass oil filter system instead of changing oil. I have over 350,000 mi on my oil and still clean. I change the bypass oil filter every 10 to 15,000 mi and engine oil filter every 30,000. And put Motorkote in it every 50,000 to 60,000 mi. An oil analysis is done every time I change the bypass filter. I have been told it's one of the cleanest Detroit's he is ever seen. And it has over 1.8 Million miles on it and only had the oil pan off twice. Once for a rear main seal and once for a bullgear at 1.7 Million miles. And for a diesel engine it is remarkably clean on the inside with very little soot build up. In fact when oil was new after the bullgear it was over 15,000 before it turned black, as diesels normally do.

This is by far the BEST VIDEO you've done! I've spent many hours searching for the best friction reducers over the years, having tried so many but not ever knowing if it really is helping. This Motorkote is impressive. Seeing is believing. That hour water test was fantastic! Thanks a ton! Now comes a request. A year ago I came across NMF Friction Reducer. The videos on it are impressive, but if YOU were the one to test this out with your engines approach, I think it would be great. I'm currently using it in my Chevy Silverado 4x4, and am curious if it was money well spent or not. Meanwhile, I'm going to check out this Motorkote stuff. Thumbs up x 100!

It’s great that someone is out there testing oil’s! This is keeping companies on the up&up good job 👍

Thank you for all that you do, Todd! I'm always searching for the best chemistry of fluids that will help me maximize the mileage of my 2002 v

Thank you *Project Farm* !!!

I've been using motorkote in all my vehicles (all 3 are high mileage) ever since I watched this video. I know these people dont pay you, but they should.

Hey @ProjectFarm ! Could you revisit this (and possibly others) with your new oil testing methodologies? I'm wondering how it and others stack up against the best synthetics. As a Canadian, its really nice to see those new/cooked cold temperature performance test too! Thanks for all your hard work, and have a Merry Christmas!

I gotta say, when I want to know how a product performs, I always search Project Farm. Thank you for all you do, your time and effort and all that this channel costs you.

I think you just sold a million units for them. I went out and bought one:)

The water test is a nice new addition. I keep thinking of things I want you to test, then I realize you've already thought of it. Now I want to see how long the engine will run on 100% motorkote, then drain it and see how long it will run with nothing in the crankcase. Keep up the good work.

I find great interest in your site thank you. I would love to re-test after using about 5,000 miles to see if the MOTORKOTE is still effective

Just saw this older video. While the video is still great, the quality of your work has greatly improved in the 3 years since. Congrats on all your hard work and accomplishments on youtube.

I wish you taught my shop class back when I was in high school, you do the coolest stuff!

I've watched nearly every single one of your videos(will finish them all eventually) this has to be the absolute most impressive bearing test EVER. not to mention the results from the mower.

Always enjoy and appreciate your product reviews, great job!

i really appreciate your efforts and your honesty all these years . thank you !

At almost 70yo I've worked on everything from model Ts on, and I had long ago given up hope of ANY additive of any kind ever working out. Like many people, I figured good SAE oil was about all you could do to protect an engine. Your test may have renewed my hopes. Many times I've worked on motors and such where the degree of friction was THE determining factor for longevity. Since I no longer work on anything except my own stuff, it's all pre 80s and mostly used and recycled blocks and what not, I really need friction protection. Thank you for an excellent video test that is "real world" believable. Keep up the good work, and I'll keep coming back. 👍👍👍

Just as shocked as everyone else. Whoever recommended this test is well ahead of the curve!

I’m a firm believer in Motorkote. This just confirms my faith in it. I appreciate this video very much, thanks!!!

Video with the most honest test I've ever seen. Here in Brazil, this seems to be the best additive for motor oil. Thanks for the test and dedication.

I just checked out the prices of motorkote products on A****n. Prices are a bit steep, but your vid goes a long way to help justify the cost. This is some surprisingly good stuff.

WOW ! The proof is in the Project Farm experiments. I would not have believed that the engine would run with water in the crankcase(by that I mean for anything like an hour, with normal temps etc.) The lack of any metal flakes(of any destructive size or number) in the filters, exonerates any claims made by the company. I would not use this product in my Cummins diesel ( I follow what Cummins recommends) but I have another venerable vehicle that I would be prepared to use it in. Another marvelous test, complete with the usual Project Farm series of provisions to minimize testing errors. I STILL want the contract tpo supply you lawn mowers ! Thanks again for a truly informative video. BRAVO ! Well done !

Because of this video and your truthfulness I've seen in all your videos, I just went and bought 32oz of Motorkote myself. Usually I don't fall for any of these engine snake oil "additives" or "friction modifiers", but because you tested it with no help or support from outside entities, I had to jump on board and try it out myself👍. Keep on with your awesome &truthful videos! 😎✌️

00:47 - For a moment, I thought the data sheet said 2,2,4 trimethylpentane, but it's actually "2,4,4 trimethylpent-1-ene" which is an alkene, not an alkane. The former (2,2,4 trimethylpentane) is the standard used for the 100 octane rating (RON) for petrol. That's why I got confused because it looks similar. C8H18 vs C8H16. Chemistry gets confusing very quickly! EDIT: Not sure why they included it in the additive, though. Alkenes are reactive hydrocarbons and like to polymerise under high temperatures. It's how they make plastics like polyethene, polypropylene, etc. Perhaps the chemical is able to penetrate deep into the machinery in a non-polymer state, then under higher temperature it'll polymerise, causing a polymer layer between components. Just a complete guess from a non-chemist! Probably completely wrong!

Ole '60s big block gear head', hear again. Please, don't all the negative folks out there, roll your eyes. Oh, and I don't drive 100 mph either. Although, I have, and faster, many years ago. Before fuel prices went through he roof! Last week, Oct. 31, 2018, I decided to add 3 oz. of MotoKote to my 313,000+ mile E250 Ford extended VAN untouched (other than me changing filters) transmission. Just for the hell of it. Now, I don't have another vehicle. So I only have one to drive. And, being an OLD(50+yr.) mechanic, I listen to every sound this thing makes. This small(3oz.) amount of MotoKote definitely made this old transmission shift more positively. (not that it was bad. but it was better after adding the MotorKote). Again, I thank Project Farm for such a thorough product test. At my age and experience, I'm not easy to convince. But I'm pretty sold on MotorKote.

I just put some motorkote in my car engine. Thanks for making these tests, I bought this because of how impressed I was with your testing. This stuff really reminds me of those old Slick 50 oil commercials. The commercials where they would have the engine running and drain the oil while running.

Thank you for saving me time and money by testing all you do. I now have consumer confidence in and what to purchase to keep my equipment running longer and better. Keep up the good wrk.

I really admire your dedication, integrity, skill, and scientific approach to these tests. One of the best channels I've subscribed to. Please keep up the great work as it is helping millions of viewers. Thank you!

First of all, thank you so much for making another highly educational and entertaining video! Your production quality is amazing! Also amazing is this tested product! Wow!

I'm impressed by ur hard work to do test results on products ,bless you and all you do , I've tried many add. None hav impressed me more, tankyou

I have used MotorKote since 91. It saved my Bronco 351 engine when I lost the oil pump. It worked so well I didnt notice the oil guage for atleast 5 miles at city traffic speeds and temps. Have used it in many engines since.

I'm so happy about this! Thank you so much for what you do!

THANK YOU for finally showing the potential of Motorkote. I'm one of the older Master Techs in my 40s and have used it for quite a while now. I even use it in the hydrostat of my GT series Cub Cadet that gets used very ruggedly like a quad besides mowing acres weekly. Keep up the good work/fun having! I dub thee "Southern MacGyver".

Hi folks. Yes, the 'ole geezer gear head' here again, I know., I've been AWOL for a while. . Just figured I'd check in again on this subject. I still have my 3/4 ton, '02' Ford E250 van, with a 5.4, 2 valve, untouched engine. It now has 326,000+ miles on it. At 77 yrs. of age, I am still doing my own service work on it. And still using the MotoKote additive, plus Mobile1 10/30 full synthetic oil. Age has slowed me down a bit. Not doing as many of the long distance trips that I was doing before. But, I was convinced, after seeing, many times, Project Farm's thorough testing of that product, that it was worth a try. I have been very satisfied with the end results. Thank you Project Farm.

Appreciate all your great videos and testing. I know you tested Motorkote quite a while ago and it seems that Motorkote has changed their formula a bit and the Oil seems to be a lighter and thinner than when you did this testing a while back. It would be nice to have you retest the most recent Motorkote formula... Thanks for all your thorough testing. Great videos!

Awesome!!!! Been waiting for months!!! Keep up the awesome video!

Just bought some motorkote myself. This channel is the best. I have an old 01 buick with a lifter tap, so additives are probably the only reason its not dead yet. I used BG44k, Justice brothers, and now I will try this. I figure it cant hurt based on what I saw in this video. Thanks for making these great videos

Thanks for doing this test Todd! You're awesome my dude 😎

Thank you for the work you do. I believe your videos save the world a lot of time and trouble with your benchmarks. My son found your channel and showed me. It helps us avlot. Thank you!

PLEASE test more of this Motorkote stuff! It's almost too good to be true. Would be especially interested in seeing if it has chlorine like so m any are saying. Would be interesting to see how it improves the top 5 oils from your showdown! ALSO, You should do the friction test for ALL of your oils with the post hotplate oil to see how much the protection changed after excessive heat. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

@4:00 that coloration in oils is almost a sure fire way to determine there is a wax in the additive. Wax also helps explain how it repels / isnt affected by water

I'm running out to buy MotorKote tomorrow. I wonder how it mixes with these crazy lite blends they run nowadays.. like 0w-20? Great video, love how you keep it real

Wow! Above and beyond. I was skeptical about the claims of this product but your extreme test have proved me wrong.

Grate video!!! Keep up the great “independent”work you do us a great service.

What about dish soap as oil?

I always love watching your videos. Watch them while planting and combining. Keep up the amazing work and know that everyone who wants to learn something and get the best bang for their $$ appreciates what ypu do

Well done, quality test, great slow mo's , excellent criterias for testing and variations. Most excellent, love your work!

Do a test where you run MotorKote in an engine then drain it and run the engine dry until it throws a rod. Then compare its results to your previous additives tests!

Thank you again for making this video, I have been using MotorKote in my cars since you posted this. I own 3 cars between 100k miles and 280k miles, 2 things I have noticed so far my miles per gallon went up tiny bit 1 - 2 mpg and the winter tic I would hear on my 1999 Grand Prix and the 2006 Grand Prix has gone away. I mix it with full synthetic oil and change it every 5000 miles, easier to remember that way when your changing on the 5's. I also add a 2 ounce of MotorKote with every oil change so some is always in there protecting my engines. Use it in my lawnmower as well. I recommend your channel to all my friends and family.

You should definitely do another round of testing with motorkote since it appears they changed there formula a bit, and using your modern testing methods! Thank you! 😁

Holy cow the work you put into these videos! Very well done ... two thumbs up! There isn't anything more you could possibly be doing to sell your points.

The MotorKote did pretty good! Really unexpected.

That was quite impressive. It seems to do exactly what they claim it will do. Thanks for the video.

I used Motorkote and it delivered, I tried NMF right after and I liked NMF a lot more, it is more expensive but it seems to be a lot better for me... I would love to see you test that additive. I love your videos and the dedication and ingenuity you bring to KZfaq. Keep up your amazing tests.

Another thorough and well thought out review with a surprising result. Thank you.

I’ve been using this in my dd15 For years and 1.5 million miles later the inside of my motor still looks and acts like new even gets longer life on my turbo

I added MotorKote to my car 3,000 miles ago, my smart now has 80K miles, had Blackstone test my oil at 51K miles and it had next to nothing in it (metals, fuel, chemicals). I think I made a good choice. :)

Thanks! In for a can of Motorkote. Lots of things I didn't know I wanted, until I watched your videos.

Long term user of this stuff as an owner operator trucker. Love this stuff and love your videos especially this one. Wonder how it would stack up against the famous NO MOR FRICTION. 🤔

I have watched every video you have done and this is the most impressive test I have seen. I am simply amazed that this product works this well. I will have some before dark. Chief

wow! that lubricity test though! im amazed that this product worked so well. so now we know the special cocktail.. seafoam, marvel mystery oil, engine restorer and motorkote!

Very impressive test. Thank you, keep up good videos!

i have seen a lots in my life, but here my dear Sir you opened my eyes for a new way how to wash an engine....

Excellent test and video. Thank you and 1,000 up votes.

OK, that's it. I'm gonna go look for some motorkote. Most of the stuff on the net I don't trust, but I've been following your channel for a long time, and I know you to be scrupulously honest, and to really lay out the unvarnished truth. Thanks for your spectacular testing! You really put these products through their paces, and we're all more knowledgeable as a result.

Man pf. Your one hell of a guy. Thank you for your work here. Thank you. Watched your video so much I consider you my friend.

Thank you for this. .... I've always wondered if it worked. Would love to see a Diesel engine comparison using Archoil, RevX and Motorkote. Would be interesting to see which works best in a diesel

I'd love to see you test Rotella T 15W-40. On the ATV forums many people swear by it, and I have actually been running it in almost all my quads for years.
