Here is the original video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sMqSpdaByrSolYE.html

I only use Valvoline products in my fleet,both diesel and gas engines. Never had an oil related problem in any of them. Started using their oils back in the late 80's when Valvoline/Suzuki had race bikes.

For my Mercedes, I use Mobil1 full synthetic for European Vehicles. I change it with a new OEM filter every 6 months or 5000 miles instead of the 12 month or 10000 mile recommended cycle from MB. I love your channel and trust what you say because you have demonstrated over and over again throughout the years that you are a person of integrity! Many blessings, Rich! Don't let the "no it all" trolls get to you. Keep being you and thanks again for another great vid.

The Amsoil has held up pretty darn good for 5k intervals with Motorcraft filters even with E85. Signature series that is. At least for me.

Pennzoil ultra is sometimes harder to get at my local Walmart’s and I’ve noticed it more since covid. I’ve been using it for over 10 years and I’ve used it in Chryslers GEMA 4 cylinder engines with success well for over 100k on both motors. I took that advisement from a guy like you at my local Chrysler dealership Rich. I built a nice vehicle maintenance partnership out of that. He’s much younger than I and he knows his stuff and I very much appreciate him for that and answering my questions as a consumer. It makes me a better consumer and care taker of my vehicles which I’ve had success with. People you’ve got be open minded to new things that come along. I’m over 50 and things have changed a lot in my lifetime and I embrace everything I can learn especially in vehicle technology and the lubricants that go in them. I’m for getting the most knowledge I can about it and this guy is one of those people l! 👍👍😊

Congrats on being successful enough to have trolls who take time out of their day to give you crap!

I love Valvoline, I’ve been running their Max Life synth blend for years in my Crown Vics. It’s a good product. Fun fact, when Valvoline was testing their max life oil in the early 2000’s, they tested it on a fleet of in service Crown Vic cop cars and found it improved fuel economy and reduced oil consumption in the fleet of cop cars. Great info here sir.

When it comes to autos..... Rich speaks, I’m all ears. You see more vehicles in a year than I could build in a lifetime! Thanks for the recommendation on the Platinum Ultra. Building a square body K20 right now. It’s getting PPU

I shop online, I don't usually go to Walmart all the time. Remember I let the professionals be professionals, whether they get paid or not. You are doing it for us. Thank you. My oil change is coming up so having these numbers is good. I might test an unused oil but not in the cards right now.

I feel your frustration. Because of you and all that you do, you are going to have haters. But…… because of what you do, you will have faithful subscribers. I went ahead and bit the bullet and purchased a 5 quart jug of Redline off of Amazon the night before you posted this vid. It is because of you and your Blackstone testing is why I did it. It will be here either tomorrow or Friday. My truck is aging and I want to give her the best to keep her happy and going down the road. Stay Blessed!

I listened to you and took your advice. So glad I did. My 18 Highlander has never run better! I also use MMO with it like you said and I immediately could tell the difference. So smooth. Thanks for all your videos.

They dont have Pennzoil Ultra Platinum at my Walmart. I generally go to Advance Auto to get it and its not $24 there, typically its around $32or $34. One thing, Advance Auto sometimes will run a deal where they throw in the oil filter if you buy 2 five quart jugs of Pennzoil Ultra. Since my F150 takes 7 quarts, when they run this deal I purchase 2 jugs and they throw in the filter of my choice which always is Purolater Boss. By the way, I chose the Ultra and the Boss filter based on videos and recommendations you made. Thanks for the good work!

I like the oil videos and find them very thorough and informative. Some people will rag no matter what though. I have learned that the biggest most important thing from watching your videos is changing it no matter the brand. I opt for the cheapest that meets spec and change it early. I have parts plus in the 22 Silverado now. I’ll change it about 3500 miles.

I can’t find Pennzoil ultra platinum at any stores in central Florida. After watching you and project farm test this stuff - next to coffee - it’s liquid gold. I order the oil online through Walmart. Appreciate your knowledge and honesty.

I just picked up 2 bottles of the Valvoline SYN Blend for my CVPI based on your advice. I hope you enjoy your kickback! 💰 💴

I love your content on Pennzoil Platinum Ultra and that’s what I run in my 2019 Ram 1500!!

Valvoline is top for me & Pennzoil ultra is a very close second. I can’t say anything about redline because I’ve never ran it in my engine. I trust you when it comes to oils. I would like to see you do gas tests (like ethanol testing) next, like different brands every time you get fuel for your vehicles. Love you brother

LOL, funny how you put the lab results up there and they are independent, you pay money for them to test the oils and the Trolls still post their stupidity.... Personally I paid attention to the results of the testing and yep, Penzoil Platinum is what I will Run in my vehicles because of informed decisions. Thanks for keeping it real Rich!!!!!

Trolls are a part of the YT game. You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t. I will say that your channel is one of the best when it comes to no BS findings and testing of oil products. Heck- I followed your suggestion on using Pennzoil Platinum series oils (the Platinum Plus High Mileage for me, as I can’t find the Ultra Platinum and I’m not running high horsepower to require the latter oil), and I haven’t looked back. My Boomer-era dad hates me for it though, as he’s one of those luddites who still believes that old sludge myth. lol Keep up the good work! 👍

have been watching your vids for Lord knows how long now. and from your all the info you put out, moved from RP to Red Line on my 2014 STi.

Keepin' it real. Had the Penzoil Ultra been on the shelf when you did that video you would have reminded your viewers that was your go to oil and why. Since it wasn't there...end of story. Those of us who keep up know that you have sung the praises of Penzoil Ultra often in prior videos. Trolls...there's a reason they live under bridges. Be blessed...keep on keepin' it real.

Great video! I have always used Royal Purple but Penzoil and valvoline and redline are good oils too. Keep up the great work

I know someone who works for a testing lab. They routinely test many different motor oils. He says Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is always among the best. I have a 2018 Mustang GT, 5.0 V8. My car has an extended Ford warranty. I would prefer to use Pennzoil, but I have the Ford dealer change oil every 5,000 miles, 5w-30 full synthetic Motorcraft. I’m confident that my engine is in good shape. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work. 🤠

I’ve used Pennzoil ultra platinum for many years. I got it off Amazon. With a WIX Xp filter on my 99 MGM and it runs mint. But I’ve spoken with you about it before. Thank you for what you do sir!

The very last thing I would think of is Rich lying to any of his fans and subscribers .I have been a subscriber and a strong supporter of The Ford Boss Me Channel a long long time .Rich is a honest straight up guy he tells it like it is and people like that are very hard to find .I am positive that if I had a problem with any of my vehicles all I need to do is drop Rich an email and when Rich looked at his email he would shoot me an email asking how he could help me with my problem, THIS is the type of guy he is ,good to the bone .I am one of the fans that only watch his videos when I have the time to watch the whole thing and when I do watch the first thing that I do is hit the thumbs up symbol so that I do not forget after watching and listening carefully to his videos the content gets me thinking and in deep thought .I am a retired auto body specialist with many many years of doing mechanical repairs and diagnostic work .My wife and I bought land and had a beautiful forever home built in the woods out away from any towns or cities this is a very time consuming thing that we have done and also mind blowing along with an enormous amount of stress, so I do stay too busy to be able to watch KZfaq or even TV when I do get time I have to play catch up with my favorite KZfaq channel and it's FordBoss Me, in my opinion the best automotive repair channel on the internet. Bodymanbob from Alabama.❤😊

Because of you I’m a valvoline fanboy. You can’t find Ultra readily available so valvoline FS EP is my go to. I appreciate the work you put in for the community.

my last oil change I used Valvoline high mileage full synthetic 5l jug 36$ Cad, now its 55$ or 59$ so I am using Pennzoil high mileage platinum full synthetic which I got for 37$ at canadian tire on sale these are both great oils and as a mechanic I would endorse either one because I trust their product, this guy really has a stiffy for Pennzoil lol

😆 🤣. If you were being paid by Valvoline you wouldn't be working right now. You would be set for life.

The best thing is regular oil changes regardless of brand period 💯

Hey boss I know I don’t need to tell you but you know there’s a lot of ignorant people out there don’t let it get to you, I appreciate what you do and have learned a lot I’m an old school mechanic that knew we were in trouble when I seen wires coming out of carburetors. Dave Dave

I knew it you'r on big oils payroll 😁 I am going to try ultra platinum on my next change been using platinum for years good stuff

Pennzoil ultra is my go to oil. Based on independent tests I've seen from others, it truly is the best bang for your buck for motor oil. You saying how great it is, just further confirms what I know to be true. I buy it from Walmart online because, as you said, they never have it in stores. They have the Platinum, but never the Ultra. Pennzoil, if you're reading this, change the Platinum Ultra design color to something else like silver or black. They're hard to tell at a glance and I've gotten the wrong oil shipped once - I assume cause they look so much alike.

Because of your advice I switched from Castrol to Valvoline, lifter noise definitely quiter on startup with Valvoline high milage, also not burning oil using basic wix oil filter, oil change every 3.000, 01 Ford Excursion V10, 230.000 miles. Thanks Boss.

Just earned a subscriber off these two videos don’t sweat it man

Good reaction. Some users just believe holding the holy grail of knowledge. Im a new subscriber. Greetings from Souther California.

I have an SRT engine. I used Penzzoil Ultra Platinum for the first 36K. I switched to Amsoil Signature, both great oils, but at the track I use Redline easter core.

Have you had a chance to test Valvoline Restore and Protect ? What do you think of this product?

Screw the haters... Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Great videos! With that said I've been using Valveoline 5W-20 Dailly Protection for 15 years and 150,000 miles. The car still doesn't burn oil between 3000 mile oil changes. My new car takes 0w - 20 and isn't a turbo or HP engine. I plan on doing 3000 mile changes. I have nothing bad to say adout Valvoline but having to use a synthetic oil now to meet the 0w-20 requirement I was wondering what your thoughts are on using cheaper priced Quaker State Full synthetic instead of Valvoline Advanced?

When I worked at dodge. All their vehicles came filled with pennzoil. And that's what they have in bulk too

Even if you used the cheapest oil possible if you change it every 3k that engine will be clean as hell.

Valvoline synthetic oil is excellent, and I use it in my small engines--keeps them very happy for a long time, even running them hard in the middle of summer. I use Quaker State full synthetic in my vehicles; it gets changed frequently enough that almost any oil would probably be fine, and used oil analysis has indicated that it holds up well for my use. (I normally change it at 5k intervals, but UOA done after 7k miles said that 10k would be safe. However, that's a bit too much for me. I've got nearly 350,000 miles on an old Ford 4.2L V6, so I'll keep on keeping on....)

Nothing against Pennzoil I've been using vavloline since 1969 in all my car's and trucks and all had over 350.000 on them I change oil at 4.000 miles and use 5w30 on the f150 thanks for sharing your thoughts this thumbs up 👍👍

I've been looking for Pennzoil Ultra Platinum line of products. My local WM stores don't currently carry them.

Yep, no Ultra at WM's or any other box store near me either.

Me personally I don't run after the best high top / most expensive oils existent no matter where I buy it from ... I buy a good quality oil filter and a gallon oil ( 5k miles ) and change it at 3k ( sometimes earlier) . Each one buys what can afford but in my opinion the secret is to keep maintenance and fluids up to date and topped off, I will never feel comfortable doing oil changes longer than 3k miles even buying expensive oil . I'm not a professional by any means, I'm just a diy'er and never had any issues. Sub'ed 👌

My Walmart doesn’t carry the Ultra platinum but they have Vavoline high mileage , there are 5 jugs (I have 4 vehicles to service ) in my garage right now ! Showed my neighbors your video and they are using it also ! Thanks Rich !……

Have a friend that works for shell specifically pennzoil division, the reason pennzoil ultra platinum is not in stores is because it’s an enthusiast grade product so the average Joe wouldn’t be specifically looking for it as such theres no reason to sell in store but rather through e-commerce.

Hi Rich I haven’t been able to Watch Because of Health Problems. My SAAB Master Tech came out to my house to check if I needed anything else for the Car when he changes my Fluids on it the 2007 model with only 3,800 miles on. When he checked all the usual failure flexible joints . He couldn’t believe the Quality of the hoses he says the temperature setting in the Garage must be absolutely perfect. He’s never seen one in that condition. So I am just waiting for Space at the Garage to get it in . Because he wants it clear so No damage can occur. Thanks 🙏🏻 for all your advice Rich regarding this. Your a Good Guy don’t listen to the doubters. Steve 👨🏻‍🦳♿️🛠️🇬🇧😂❤👍👍🙏🏻

Okay I have heard good things about Pennzoil Platnum. I'm 57 and remember what engines that ran Pennzoil of the day look like. Not good. I have been using Mobile one for years but I also use Costco branded synthetic 5-30 in all my old stuff. I change oil every 3000-3500 max I have 4 cars plus my Mom & Dads car. I also only use factory filters. should change any of what I'm doing?

What’s your thoughts on Schaeffer oil? I’ve been considering switching my 1999 F-350 with the 7.3L over to schaeffer synthetic but don’t want to run the risk of potentially springing leaks. It only has 155K on it.

I also look at it as any oil brand is better than not changing it at all.

Great clip. Your objectivity is one of the main reasons that I watch your videos. You just can’t please everyone. Keep up the good work.

I really appreciate the oil talk as well as the political updates.

I live in Oregon, and I went to three different stores and no one had platinum ultra and a couple of the auto parts guys didn’t even know what it was. Lol. So I ordered it off Amazon and something happened and they fucked the order up but lucky enough I finally found an advanced auto parts store that carries Pennzoil ultra platinum. I am using it in my brand new 2023 Toyota Tacoma, but I don’t know if it’s in my head but the truck almost sounds like it’s louder when it’s idling with the Pennzoil ultra platinum as opposed to the mobile one. Which I watched several videos were mobile one is getting its ass kicked.

Very true I can only find pennzoil platinum line up at my Walmart not the ultra

My father-in-law was a mechanic for over 50 years, he uses Valvoline.

So if you had to choose between Pennzoil ultra platinum or the Valvoline high mileage or advanced high mileage, which would you use? I have 164,000 miles on my Tahoe and I used the Valvoline advanced high mileage based on your videos . would Sophia choose between mileage, the Pennzoil be better?

I use Valvoline full synthetic high mileage or Napa full synthetic high mileage (witch is produced for Napa by Valvoline btw) along with an oem or Napa filter every 3K or there abouts. But any good oil changed regularly is better than expensive oil with way too long intervals imo. I don't rely on my oil change monitor system in my car, I keep track of all of my maintenance the old fashioned way on pen and paper. I also send in oil samples every once in awhile just to make sure nothing is sneaking up on me.

How do you feel about mixing oils? I want to use valvoline 5w40 euro for my Benz but I want to add some valvoline synthetic 20w50 to thicken it up a bit for summer use in Mississippi

I have no words for this guy!

I am curious about steep hill engine hold back. Especially during warmup. I had an overload emergency down shift over the backside of parrot mountain. It made a permanent tap, but the engine. Dodge 250 1994? Ish still ran at 280000+ when running geer, steering gagetry gave my wife a 3 second delay. Hence 2019 with only 33500 miles. Flat lander for retirement.

What would you recommend for my sport engine it has low miles I’m trying to get reliability and performance for the best price

Great Chanel ! I enjoy and appreciate your honesty. How often do you recommend changing Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, with a 50/50 city highway mix? Also, what oil filter would you match up when using the Ultra Platinum?

Don’t sweat it… people are NUTS. Social media really pulled the curtain back for me - I used to think most people were reasonable rational thinking folks; boy was I naïve!! BTW, no ultra in the Greenwood SC Walmarts either. Ordered from Amazon.

Hi Rich as a mechanic i bought in 1991 a 90 full size bronco eddie bower 5.0. I used the best esso branded (Uniflo) oil . With 30k on the clock it went thru 1-2 liters of oil between 3000 mile oil changes. I was pissed. Switch to valvoline oil and never use a drop, sold vehicle with 275k and never required top up. I now have a 2012 f150 fx4 5.0 and use valvoline synthetic. 240k and oil changes every 3000 miles

I had a 2.3 Turbo Mustand a while back and I decided to use Valvoline 5W40 Advance GDI modern engine oil. I decided to use Valvoline because through my research for modern GDI engines it's suppose to be really good. , but again in my Hemis it's PUP , AMSOIL Signature, and Redline on the Track.

Out here doing gods work

Like a boss!! I prefer Valvoline. I go to their shop for oil changes, flushes. Keep up the good work!!!

2020 Ford F150 5.0L. 32k miles. Factory spec oil is 5w-20 synthetic blend. What are your thoughts on running a full synthetic 5w-30? I only ask about the other viscosity because a lot of people recommend moving to the 30.

I want to let you know I really appreciate your videos! I do have a question on what you think about Valvoline vs Amsoil specialty hybrid oils? Or do you think I should use Pennzoil Ulta Platinum in my 2024 Ford Maverick hybrid, and not worry about using one of those oils formulated for hybrid running conditions?

What’s your favorite for an ls 6.2 2012 non dod vvt with a .600” lift truck cam? Mobil one is noisier after it gets hot. Tried 0w-40 and 5w-30. Want to go with valvoline but not sure if I should go euro or advanced. Running cats but will install high flows soon.

Another great video I have been running Royal Purple 5w 30 but I'm going to try Platinum next time ultra thanks

You joking right lol let em talk bro I trust you 💯 and love your videos there is also a Mopar Tech on here I trust but I would like know if the fram ultra is too restrictive on a 3.5 ecoboost or is it fine and the motorcraft good enough I change oil every 3000 4000 miles most time 3000

Used Mobil 1 extended life for years. switched to Pennzoil platinum. The first thing I noticed was my engine was quiet. I also notice have better gas mileage.

Ford boss, love your videos, great info! Quick question, platinum Pennzoil or the Pennzoil ultra for my 2023 Ford Ranger 2.3L 4 cylinder. I wanna keep this truck as long as i can and wanna run the best oil in it. I read somewhere that the platinum is better for this truck or would the ultra be better for it? would like your apinion on that or would the Redline Ester base be even better? Thanks and have a great great day!

I used the valvoline extended protection in my truck. Its easy to get and keeps the valve train quiet.

Can you tell Me, is the Valvoline Full Synthetic High Mileage 5w30 a Group IV engine oil ??? Thinking of changing due to your Oil Analysis testing ...

You're right, Penzoil Ultra Platinum is not commonly found in Walmarts. With that price and it being available at Walmart, he must be referring to Penzoil Platinum, which is still a good oil. I personally use high mileage kind.

These are the same types that put coolant in the windshield washer reservoir 🤣

I like mobil 1 XP. In my informal squeeze it between my fingers test even after running it 10000 miles it is slick like gear oil. Seems to make small engines able to rev faster. Old school pennzoil is the only thing I've seen sludge up an engine with normal oil changes. We ran it in an air cooled onan generator in 100F weather and it carboned up the valve seats to the point it wouldn't run after a day. Other random conventional oil worked.

Hey , good day to you. Quick question. What’s your opinion on the NAPA full synthetic. I understand it’s made by Valvoline and when they have a sale , the price is amazing. A 5 quart jug for $19.99 just seems to good to pass up. Would the additive package in the NAPA be the same , or very similar at the very least. Also NAPA makes a great filter, gold or platinum. Thanks for any consideration. 😊

I seen the tests, I have used Castrol Titanium since it came to market with K&N. change always less than 4k. just ordered pens. ultra from the big A and bought Pur. oil filters and BG product. I see and trust your work. never tried RL oil but their trans fluid is the best thing since sliced bread

Don't worry, I like castrol but I been running the valvoline red jug way before I came across your channel, shits good and relatively cheap!

Walmart is no longer stocking a lot of items. That's what I noticed after the pandemic. I used to buy the ultra platinum high mileage 5w20. It's very difficult to get anywhere now so I settle for just the plain ultra platinum which I get elsewhere.

Always enjoy your channel. Just curious what you or your subscribers think about two oil different oils. I am looking at Pennzoil Platinum Ultra or Valvoline Protect & Restore… Both would be a 5W/20 for a Ford F-150 with a 5.0 liter engine. Anyone have thoughts??? Thanks for your time.

There will always be people like that part of dealing with humanity!

What you think about for magnate. GTX 5.30 for my 2018 3.5 100,000

Penzoil Ultra is rare at the Walmart here in Virginia.......Valvoline is plentiful and good deals can be had too. I will be running Valvoline till I see Penzoil on a shelf. Good bargains are hard to pass up and garage boxes are the deal these days!!

Just do your thing Rich. Haters gonna hate. It is annoying to have someone spout absolute nonsense. Got your back brother.

Ultra is hard to get and even the Platinum sometimes I can't get. If Walmart doesn't have it sometimes Home Depot will have it but only a few containers. Last time I got it the closest Home Depot didn't have any and I had to go to the next closest one, they had three containers so I bought all three and at twenty five bucks for the Platinum. The Ultra if I do see it is always over thirty bucks and was thirty four the last time it was available at Walmart. Good video. Happy Motoring.

I've said it before on here....I've been using Valvoline synpower is every vehicle I own for over 20 years. I run everything to 200k+ miles. So many are stuck on the mobile1 bs. Valvoline has been around longer than anyone else.

I've been using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum ever since Walmart and Tractor Supply stopped carrying Rotella Gas Truck oil. Never saw Ultra Platinum at Walmart. I've seen Platinum but not Ultra.

Hey would you be a opposed to doing a tool box tour? Thought it would be a cool video thanks

In NE Ohio, they have the Pennzoil Platinum, but it is likely popular since I rarely see more than 2 on the shelf.

Hey the add pack numbers don't lie. Thanks for your honest observation .

Been running Schaeffer oil for years what are your thoughts about it. do i stay or switch?

Long time subscriber here from the beginning, as you said and I also like penzoil platinum ultra , what are your feelings about amzoil signature full synthetic?

Oh man, Ford Boss on the take,LOL, that is just too funny, the guy needs to put the crack pipe down and pay attention, I would use the Penn Ultra but it is too hard to get here at a good price, I have been running QS hi mile full syn or Harvest King full syn from Atwoods ( an East Texas West Louisiana Farm and Ranch store like Tractor Supply the HK oil was 19.99 for a 5qt jug and the QS at my Wal-mart is $ 5. 78 a quart I think. But at 5000 miles it gets changed pushing 400k on my truck and went from 5w-20 to 5w-30 at around 150k miles. If I ever find Penn Ultra at good price I will give it try, I am shooting to get 1 million miles out of my truck. Keep up the good posts and videos.

Is it save to use 5w-20 in a engine that runs on 0w-20. That what repair shop told me. I don’t know if they are telling the truth or not.
