Synthetic is not best in all applications especially in older cars and machinery because the gaskets, cork seals, and other materials they used prior to the invention of synthetic oil absorb synthetic oil and seep out. The mechanic on the left also explains that the thicker traditional oil makes up for the space within the cylinder area and the result is a tighter gap which allows the engine to run smoother. There are some really smart seasoned mechanics on KZfaq that explain where, how, why, and the why nots of synthetic over traditional and vise versa. When the combustion engine was invented they designed a lubricant that would serve that specific purpose, but as technology advanced the materials and tolerances also advanced and the traditional oil can definitely help but the synthetic oils are better suited for these new higher performance engines. Best for all applications yes, as long as the synthetic oil doesn’t penetrate the seals and cause leaks, and can also offer a buffering effect.

The manufacturers (and Dealers) recommend longer oil change intervals because it is a selling point. Engineers have certainly calculated max oil change intervals that will get the engine past the warranty. Then it's your baby. How long in between changes? Just monitor the oil. If you drain it at 5K miles and its dark, black, or smells burnt you are going too long. Try 3.5K next change. Then fine tune from there to find your sweet spot.

After 50K miles of dealer services (baked into price of car) and way to many "free multi-point inspections" that yielded too many "throttle body cleaning recommendations" I crawled under the minivan with my 16 year old son to show him how to change the oil. Love it. @UCLXV9vzJwgYOyGaZlD89VfA - I just purchased a Mityvac MV7201 to make retrieving "most" of the oil easier and only crawl under the Toyota's to replace the filters and do the final drain. Any experience with these that come with any feedback or recommendations? I'll be honest, I purchased it because we are now taking care of grandma's 2005 E320 and getting to the oil plug on those is terrible. I plan to drain the oil and then pour in a half quart of new oil to help the remaining half quart of old oil make its way to the suction line.

I am sure plenty of people damage their engines after changing the oil by not priming the oil system. I have seen loads of people fire right up and the oil light is on for a bit, it can't be good. I always unplug the coil or cut the fuel on a diesel and run the starter to get a bit of pressure up and make sure the filter is full. By never changing the oil you never have this problem.
@Jack-tx2ve4 жыл бұрын
@Gear Jammer yeah but think about the load on the crank bearings, little ends etc when you have explosions going on in the combustion chambers. It is nothing like when the starter is gently spinning the engine over. Plus if you pulse the starter and allow it to cool it will not hurt it. Remember alot of wear happens on startup under normal conditions. If that oil light is staying on the wear is massively multiplied.

I used to work for an oil importer. We had one of the engineers explain the difference between synthetic and mineral. It comes down to film thickness and film strength. Mineral oil has a high film thickness and lower film strength and better for larger clearance engines specifically cast iron bore. Synthetic oils have lower film thickness and high film strength and better for tighter clearanced engines specifically more modern engines or chrome plated, electro plated bores like in off road motorcycles. In my old Toyota diesel I use mineral and change every 5000km.

In the case of both it’s because the outcomes aren’t usually empirical. The minimal differences between oils and most oil-changing regimens (3k vs. 5K) won’t show up until very high milage. By then most cars are on their 3rd or 4th owners, if they’re still in use at all. In my experience working with fleet management, the long block is usually the last component to go-usually after about 400k of hard use and changes with full synthetic every 10k. My mom had a Trailblazer that went 700k with conventional oil changed at Firestone or Jiffy Lube. Everything else broke, but he engine still ran without smoke.

Yeah, I agree that there's no scenario imaginable in which synthetics are going to underperform, *except* when people try to stretch the intervals because they're getting a false sense of security fed to them by marketers about how intervals can be extended. When you drive it, how long does it typically run? On your car, at what mileage is the oil life monitor telling you it should be changed? I know at least on my early teen Ecoboost Fords they were recommending Motorcraft synthetic blend so the oil change intervals were like 7500mi or so. I've seen marketing on synthetics saying that you can run them 10, 15 even 20 thousand miles, which is when I think people are getting into trouble with synthetics, especially if they're typically running the engine less than 15 minutes at a time and heat cycling the engine that many times. Most of those synthetics will say in small print "or once a year" to avoid liability with these types of applications. I'd guess that's probably why the legal department signed off on the language in the marketing. A fleet vehicle that just runs constantly for an 8 hour shift is probably the target application for extended intervals.

I had the pleasure of being in charge of the lubrication program for our plants numerous heavy gearboxes and pumps. In 1990 I began a switch to synthetics. Each gearbox was drained, flushed and examined for any metal filings. They were refilled with synthetic and monitored every 6 months for filings and viscosity. The data gathered showed that we could extend oil changes, thus reducing costs, by 1 year in many cases. I loved your rebuild of the Coyote engine and the info shared. I have an 2020 F150 5.0.

Having to do PCV service every so often on this car myself (because cost having others do it makes no sense) I can most defiantly tell you it does make a difference and is an improvement. I typically do 5000 mile - 5500 mile oil changes because 3000 mile change would be way too soon for me but I know if i wanted to really i could stretch it 7500 miles.

I enjoyed your talk. very interesting. Myself I switched to synthetic when I lived in northern Quebec/Labrador and we had lots and I mean lots of -30 -40 weather. And eevn plugged in engines would run a fair amount of time with no oil pressure indicated. But What turned me on to the Synthetic was an oil injected 2 cycle snowmobile (Yamaha) I used to leave the oil for the injection system under the back step and when I needed to fill the injection tank The oil wouldn't pour from the bottle. Made me wonder how long it took for the running engine to warm the oil until it would flow. I tried one of the first synthetic oils that I could get my hands on and in the same temperature range it was pourable and had fast indicated oil pressure. I have been a believer ever since.

1. Changing pistons or skimming the head/block has no effect on displacement, because... 2. The volume of the space between the piston and head at TDC is not included in the displacement.

Good conversation guys. I'm an old diesel jockey with roughly five million miles behind me,almost all of which was long haul,550-700 miles per day. My favorite motor to get the job done with the least effort was the Cat 3406B,but the most efficient and best money maker for me was a 14 liter Series 60 Detroit that I sold when I retired with just under 1,700,000 miles on it. I replaced all outer engine components multiple times and replaced all of the injectors twice,but never did an in-frame on it. It was still running like new and holding good oil pressure when I sold it. I ran 15-40 Rotella dinosaur oil and changed oil every 12,000-13,000 miles and it was usually down a couple of quarts when I changed it. I was prepared and expecting to do an in-frame from around 900,000 miles on and watched for a drop in oil pressure or any excess metal in the oil,but it just kept going and going.

Your info in this video is very good about oil. I have studied oil for many years. Every oil starts with a total base number or TBN. Longer life oils generally have a higher TBN and better overall additive package. The only way to know for certain if you have used up the TBN which can start from 5 or 6, and go all the way up to 15 or higher on some long life oils, is to test it. The TBN gets used (drops) very fast on worn engines that are run short trips consistently, especially in cold weather, because the water vapor and acids from the combustion gas gets past the rings and goes into the crankcase oil. If the oil never or rarely gets up to the boiling temp of water for a significant period of time, then the oil's additives get used up faster neutralizing all the acidic byproducts of combustion, dropping the oil's TBN quite fast. Once it gets below 2 or 1, that is when the deposits start forming on engine parts, clogging up tiny lifter ports, seizing up rings in their ring lands with a resulting drop in compression. Hope this helps.

I was a dealership tech at the time when the push for synthetic oils was on. The dealership had a quarterly customer appreciation event and I was the tech that got to explain to the new customers that just because the owner's manual for your new Ford says 7500 or 10000 miles between services, that is not a good idea. In the Midwest US, and an agricultural area as well, we still see ~120 F temp swings throughout the year, and lots of dust in the air at planting and harvest, etc. We still recommended 3-5k miles between changes. This also helps keep track of everything else on your car that wears, like tires, belts, brakes, filters, etc.

So on lomg intervuls the oil ends up with a lot of acid and other chemicals suspended in it. Unless u've overheated it the oil is fine. Its the detergents in it that get overwhelmed with "bad" chemicals that effects the metals. Thats why oil is recycled as oil itself is fine just the debris/dirt must be removed from it.Just clearing up the technicalities

That said if you do not let ur car idle to warm up and try to warm it by loading the engine you are doing damage period. Now not every part will get fully warmed at idle even when temp guage hits middle but the pistons/rings/bearings WILL be warm enough to prevent damage. Also new cars warm up MUCH faster in order to meet emissions as a cold engine is much more dirty. This is why we have heated o2 sensors etc now.

Interesting discussion from two guys who have the practical experience. Wife’s Volvo XC60: The recommended Castrol Edge 5W30, but every 7K miles with a Volvo or Mann filter, not the recommended 10K. My Dodge Cummins 24V with 377K miles: DELO 15W40 with CamGuard (research it) every 5K miles with a Fleetguard filter. Doesn’t burn oil. Why CamGuard? Well, I have been running the aviation version in my airplane since early 2007. Besides the obvious additives, proven by independent lab evaluations and excellent oil analysis results, it has a seal conditioner. My IA is impressed with with how dry the engine is after being built in 1991 with almost 1400 hours on it. Even to this day, it only burns a quart every 8-12 hours. In the airplane, air-cooled engine world, that’s good. Back to the Cummins...no sludge or discoloration under the valve cover, doesn’t burn oil and the few little typical Cummins oil leaks have reduced. I did cure the tappet cover leaks with a billet cover, though. That will never leak again. I began running CamGuard Diesel version because of the results I’ve had with my aircraft engine. It isn’t a snake oil...it’s an additive that oil manufacturers blend into their oils like PDD’s proprietary diesel oil. Do the research. CamGuard works as advertised. www.aslcamguard.com Edit: I’ve seen that brown discoloration in vehicles running Castrol brand oil. Oil change intervals were frequent. 3K in bikes and 5K in cars.

I will say that when I had an oil filter fail and I wiped out my mains racing a Mustang Cobra, I attribute the ultimate survival of that engine to full synthetic. Full disclosure: I like zinc. I'm not saying no other oil would have saved my engine, I'm saying it was more likely to have been saved by that synthetic. But I did consult with my parts suppliers and machinists and planned the build with synthetic in mind, I just didn't decide one day to give it a whirl.

I'm old too... and I answered that question when I dug about 10 pounds of burnt oil out of a 1971 351 Windsor. I bought it from a guy who worked at the Ford plant that made the car, it was a tagged car and he bought the car directly from Ford as an employee... He told me he only ever used Valvoline non detergent straight 30W oil in the car, did regular oil changes and that I should do the same. When I pulled off the valve covers the black crust retained the shape of the valve covers... After replacing the clogged lifters and digging out all of the crud, I switched the engine to Mobil 1, When I pulled off the oil pan 70,000 miles later the bottom of the engine was spotless, I mean it looked new. So much for non-detergent oils. I've been running synthetic oil since it first came out... Starting in my 1966 Olds... and yes, I still have that car.
@sparky60863 жыл бұрын
Non-detergent oils were for engines without oil filters. Up until the 1950's, most cars didn't have oil filters. Non-detergent oil allows solids to settle to the bottom of the crankcase, where they won't get in between moving parts. detergent oil suspends the solids, so that when the oil flows through the filter, solids will be filtered out, of the oil, rather than settling to the bottom, where they might be stirred up into the oil again. Many lawn mowers don't have oil filters, so that's why non-detergent oil is usually recommended for them to this day.

@@sparky6086 I started fixing and working on 1960's cars and I recall my dad telling me that some car's don't have oil filters... I actually never worked on one, that I know of. But the owner's manual of our 1970 Ford Maverick actually called for "Pennsylvania Grade" multi-viscosity motor oil. My 66 Olds still called for straight weight oil. But for sure by 1971 non-detergent oil was a horrible idea for use in modern cars of that vintage, and some folks hadn't gotten the memo. I've been running my lawnmower on modern synthetic motor oil for at least 20 years and I got it used... Still fires up on the first pull most of the time. I never considered buying special oil for it or even the chain saw bar... But your explanation for using non-detergent motor oil is the first one that makes any sense that I've ever heard.

@@RJ-vb7gh It's a fact. Synthetic oil or detergent oil is fine in your lawn mower as long as you keep it changed. We're talking about the olden days, when people didn't worry about changing their car's oil, much less their lawn mower's oil. My 1950 Chevrolet truck, which I had as a teenager, didn't have an oil filter. In the old days, maybe before you came along, it was rare, that anyone changed their oil or got there oil changed, so cars rarely lasted more than 60,000 miles without having their engine overhauled or be junked. It wasn't until the late '70's or early '80's, when changing oil became a common practice. Sure, the manual had a maintenance schedule, including oil changes, but hardly anyone paid any attention to it, as far as ordinary people went. Before, people just added oil or had the gas station attendant add it, when he checked it, if it was low. Anyhow, what I stated is the "technical" reason behind detergent/non-detergent oil. It used to be more important, because people didn't change it, but as long as people change their oil often enough, it doesn't matter as much as it once did.

@@sparky6086 I recall the days when cars didn't last much over 60,000 miles. Even in the 1970's with better oil Vegas Pintos and Mavericks were all pretty much resting peacefully in junk yards around 64,000 miles. V8's had nylon timing gears which took most out at 100,000 miles when they failed. It really wasn't until the Datsuns came along that you saw a car without engine work go much over 100,000 miles (those and a few freak 225 slant 6's) My 1966 Olds owner's manual called for oil changes every 30 days or 2000 miles, which ever came first... but that wasn't going to save the nylon timing gears from blowing up at 100,000 miles. My friends and I got pretty good at doing timing chains and driving "free" cars into the second hundred thousand miles and running them on synthetic oil. I suppose I always remember my dad changing his oil in the 1960's. But I also recall the myth that older cars didn't need high grade oil any more. My dad switched from Quaker State to Sears oil, and some folks went with recycled oil once their cars got older. When I got my first car, my dad freaked out when I filled it with expensive synthetic oil the first time... as it had over 80,000 miles on it. And yes, that engine still runs. It's strange to look back and see how really well those old engines were built, to survive the abuse they took. It's also interesting to see the design failure points that were built into a lot of those engines. I suppose I always blamed the oil related failures on the bad myths going around and the general low quality of the lubricants of the day... I had never considered that there were that many people out there that weren't changing their oil according to the manufacturer's schedule. I suppose if people were thinking that their cars would be junk in 5 years anyway, why change the oil? Not buying the best oil or not changing it never crossed my mind. Yes, I sometimes do extended change intervals with synthetic oil, but I can't wrap my mind around someone trashing their car to save a few bucks on an oil change... never could and never will. Thanks again for the history lesson, even when I was there... I apparently missed a few things along the way.

Synthetic oil is far superior to conventional, my father does NMR for a living. We ran samples of Mobil and Amsoil synthetics along with Pennzoil as a conventional. The chemicals are far superior in synthetic. With regular filter changes they will last 8 to 10 times as long. Synthetics are designed to operate at a much higher temperature.

I've always been concerned about our 2013 Ford C-Max Energi. My wife only changes the oil when the "change oil" notification shows up on the dash. This happens roughly every 45,000 to 70,000 km. The engine calls for fully synthetic 0w20 oil and that is what it has run since new (we bought it still on the 1st oil change in 2014). During the winter months especially, the underside of the oil fill cap gets massive amounts of white sludge building up on it. I've changed the thermostat twice and the second time even tested 4 different thermostats and installed the hottest one (close to 205°F is when it opens) and it still builds up this sludge. I'd estimate that at least 90% of the miles on the car are rush-hour type stop and go driving so the engine really struggles to get up to temperature, especially during the cold Canadian winter months. Because it is a hybrid, in stop and go rush-hour traffic, the engine only runs when accelerating moderately hard so the heater keeps sucking the heat out of the engine (the electric water pump runs with the engine off). I've pulled over and checked the temperature with an infrared thermometer gun and at highway speeds it does get to just under 200°F in the winter, but in rush-hour traffic the engine often cools to as low as 120°F to 140°F. Based on all of this I expected the engine to have turned into an oil burner, like every single previous car my wife has driven to/from work. Would you also expect it have turned into an oil burner with major engine issues? Oddly - it hasn't... I checked yesterday and it now has 398,000 km on it and it still runs like a top and the engine has never been opened (no changing of timing belt, nothing). We have never seen the oil level get down to the "add" mark, although a couple of times with more than 50,000 km on the oil I've added 1/2 a liter to top it up (my wife never checks the oil). In reality the engine has had literally zero maintenance other than rare oil and filter changes and the car overall has had very little too. Because the car uses regenerative braking (hybrid) we've been getting away with leaving the brakes untouched until they start grinding, roughly every 135,000 to 200,000 km. Then I replace both the rotors and pads (and one rear caliper that seized). It has had some of the steering components recently replaced, plus one wheel bearing, Another wheel bearing has been a bit noisy for about 50,000 km. It's still on original ball joints, CV joints, shocks, springs, HVAC, has no oil/fluid leaks, etc. I did a partial drain and refill of the coolant (both electrical cooling system and engine cooling system - it has 2 systems) and brake fluid (sucked out what I could and refilled with fresh fluid) a few years ago (around 250,000 km). The transmission fluid is still original, as is any other fluid if there is any. Thinking about it I don't recall changing the spark plugs ever - yikes... They are probably worn down to nothing. Combining the incredible fuel economy (~4 L/100 km overall average) and lack of maintenance costs, this has been by far the cheapest car to operate that we've ever had. Although a bit dirty now, the interior is still in exceptionally good condition too (no tears in the leather seats and literally everything still works). It also has a luxurious, comfortable interior that is both quiet and has a very good audio system.
