The hardest working man on youtube

Since most major sports events postponed or cancelled, this has been the most exciting thing in sports term that I have watched

"we're gonna test that" must send a shiver down the spines of some companies lol. Great work.

The most unquestionable and consistent youtube channel of all time.

He replies to practically everyone and is so thorough in his testing. This man deserves much more subscribers and views

This man pulls out all the stops for his videos and I appreciate the hell out of them

Don't forget the $1.50 Hot Dog & Soda.

Gosh the amount of time project farm puts into his meticulous testing is undeniably amazing and thorough, won't be shocked to see his channel be up to 6 million subscribers the next couple years how can you not wach this valuable content and have such an awesome education by doing so.

Todd....I have to admit to this fact.. You truly are my hero! I have NEVER seen such an unbiased and honest man!

"we're gonna test that" Project Farm putting the fear of God into marketing teams across the world!

Everyone is freaking out about the Coronavirus and we are just watching another one of Project Farms Great Video.

Kirkland heavy-duty motor oil is made and blended by Warren distribution, the same company that manufactures Walmart's Super Tech brand. Warren distribution also has its brand of motor oil known as Mag 1 oil. In addition, Warren distribution blends motor oils for Meijer and AmazonBasic oils.

*"We're gonna test that."* That could be the official Project Farm slogan.

As a new homeowner, I've based SO MANY purchases on your results, and not one of them has steered me wrong.

I was at Costco’s. Saw this oil. I said maybe this is too low of a price. I looked in the box, I lifted it up, checked the certificates, checked the prices again. I said I better do some research first. Thank you for the video.

Wow! Fantastic video with more info than I've seen in purebred. I just paid $43.99 for a gallon of Mobil one at Costco. Their Kirkland beans is $30. After seeing all the testing done on this video, I'm returning the Mobil one tomorrow and grabbing the Kirkland. Thank you for the thorough study!

Woo! Nothing better than Project Farm for those under quarantine. Keep up the good work man!

Good to know, thank you! Confirms what my dad told me: "As long as it's SAE/dexos approved, most companies rely on marketing to fool you into thinking their oil is "better". THE biggest way to make your engine last is to change your oil at its scheduled mileage/time interval."

Something tells me you’re a “ get up at 4 am kinda guy”. High energy.

What a thorough and excellent comparison for two brands that many of us use often! Incredibly relevant information and much appreciated!

I'm an avid motorcycle rider, and in our community synthetic oil can be $20 per quart. So many riders use Shell Rotella T6 from Walmart for $22 per 4 quarts because it's JASO MA rated (safe for motorcycle clutches). For the past several years, there have been so many forum wars about why you should or shouldn't use this oil vs the designer oils that cost 4x as much. There are now NO serious reviews that put this argument to bed once and for all. Would be awesome to see it. I'm sure all the motorcycle forums across the country would refer to the review.

I've never been so hyped watching cold oil slide down ramps.

Even though I don't have access to a Costco and suspected it was the same as Supertech and Amazon Basics, I still couldn't wait to watch the video. Simply because it's Project Farm and it's a new video.

Your attention to detail and effort planning these reviews is amazing

I liked the Kirkland oil video. I am a bearing Lubrication engineer at GM and help design the crankshafts and bearings for several of our engines including the smallblock engine over the last 20 years. I am not really surprised by your results. Probably the most important part of the label on the oil container is the Dexos certification. That is a GM proprietary certification and oil manufacturers have to submit their samples directly to GM for their approval. If an oil has the Dexos certification I would have no problem putting the oil in my GM car.

Click, like, watch, repeat. Best, most unbiased channel on KZfaq! Stay safe during all this madness, Todd.

Mrs. Farm must fear for her life every morning when she makes a cup of coffee. "Will this be the day he forgot to change the pot?"

2 years ago based on your testing I went to Kirkland 0-20 and 5-20 oils in my high mileage 2010 Sequoia and not so high miles 2013 Tundra. I am totally sold on the Kirkland oils. I have switched to Kirkland for all of my vehicles. Your testing was the tipping point for me and I want to thank you for such a good process.

And this ladies and gentlemen is how KZfaq should be used - thank you for posting a constructive and educational video - I am officially subscribed - keep up the good work

Literally Anything: Project Farm: We're going to test that

Kirkland signature never ceases to amaze me with the quality of their brands products.

I use many Project Farm videos in my auto shop class . The students really respond well to them. Thank You very much Sir!

Not surprised with these results. I've been a member of Costco since way back in the early Price Club days and cannot think of one Kirkland brand product I've bought that I was not satisfied with. There one of the very few companies that seem to care about there customers and really try hard to take care of them. As always another great video.

I love the all the research you're doing that allows us middle income working class folks to save money and protect our stuff!

At that price, this must be a “loss leader” for Costco. Get you in for the oil and hope you buy groceries and a few mega roll packs of TP

An excellent set of tests if I may say so. Great video. I commented before, on a previous engine oil related video, that there are standard tests which provide insight to the characteristics of oil performance. This suite of cold temperature flow, heat resistance, lubricity, and wear resistance are part of the industry test regime, and the lab tests you asked for are best-in-class when it comes to assessing the performance of lubricants. Dexos 2 approvals should provide consistency of formulation if both products claim they are compliant, and your tests certainly confirmed that both of these products were comparable. One issue of concern when buying engine oil is whether you can truly rely on the label; has the vendor really achieved the claimed approvals? If you buy from a reputable supplier this will not be in doubt but some disreputable businesses will use the Dexos 2 logo despite not having it i.e. not using the correct formulation, and sometimes make outrageous claims such as an engine oil being suitable for gasoline and diesel engines, motorcycles, and heavy machinery. Such products do not exist. Best to buy from a well-known or trusted supplier. Your tests conclusively proved that the Kirkland 5w-30 product is within specification and therefore represents great value for money. Thanks for doing such a great job.

Just dropping a line to let you know what an absolutely fantastic channel this is. Since discovering the FARM I have not only enjoyed the content, saved money, bought the best bang for buck products, been educated AND provided with tips that saved me hassle and stress. Just flipping awesome. And I've made my working from home colleagues aware of you. Please keep yourself precautioned re this virus scourge. And everyone else.

Lol, i remember when it first came out, was like, I'll wait for project farm and then decide, thank you for all your hard work!

Being a Costco employee for 30 years, I was very excited to see that we have our own line of full synthetic motor oil. Thank you for posting this awesome, informative video! Another excellent job by Project farm!

I've been using Kirkland OW-20 for several years for my vehicles. I got a local mechanic, who charges $30 when I take oil and filter. Effectively, I will save over $60 per car per oil change with this process :-) So far, I didnt have any issue.

One of the best and most helpful channels on all of KZfaq. Thank you for all the effort, we love The Farm!

I have a video idea. I'm always getting grease, gas, oil on my clothes. How about testing different brands of detergent. Help find the best value for removing the stains.

As someone who has watched since the first episodes, I love seeing how you've updated your equipment and processes to get more scientific and accurate results. Great job man.

Simply the best non-sponsor independent test ever done! Thank you!

Warren makes excellent lubricants and have done so for many decades. Super Tech and Mag 1 are two of the most reliable and highest performing oil brands of Warren oils and you can't beat the prices. Warren probably puts the exact same oil in both ST and Kirkland bottles, the only difference being the labels. This is common practice in the lubricant industry and helps to keep cost (price) low due to economies of scale. Fantastic review -- keep up the great work!!

Glad I came across this! Was in Costco the other day and saw it and thought there's no way it's good for that price. Subie owners rejoice! Cheaper synthetic oil that works well!

Oil? *Were gonna test that.* Would love to see a “we’re gonna test that” tshirt... I would buy one!

Your videos are usually the right length and pack in relevant info without the babbling that other people insert. Sub very well deserved.

I am from Serbia(Europe),and I watch this incredible sympathetic and honest guy. ☺☺☺☺☺ Biiig greetings🤗🤗

A Suburban with a quarter million miles on the clock. You're my kind of guy. Bless you, sir. Bless you.

Congrats on 1 mil! I've been watching for a while now and I can't think of a channel that deserves that play button more!

He sure puts these products through the mill in his testing, much appreciated and very cool channel, helping out consumers

If I remember correctly Warren also makes the Supertech oil, so they're likely the same oil. Warren makes oil for a LOT of different brands, though that doesn't mean all the brands are made to the same specifications.

I just bought some Supertech High Mileage Full Synthetic for only $15 but felt a bit guilty. After watching this, I am excited for my next oil change and feel I got a great deal. As always, appreciate your diligence with the comprehensive testing and tireless efforts making these videos!

I thought I was getting a great deal yesterday at Costco... so I bought 4 boxes. I didn't realize how good Kirkland is. Thanks!

better than consumer reports...serious analysis and time to make that video! well done.

Your videos are so informative. I always look for values, but am cautious as inferior products are never a value. The experiments you do allow people to save money and use these products with confidence.

I've been a Costco shopper since 2003 and had no idea they carried this! I, too, am changing my oil every 8 weeks or so (~500+ miles a week commute), and this could save a ton of money over time. Thanks for this; looks like my 232k miles Mustang GT will be thanking you as well. 👍

Like many other comments beforehand, this is the type of information that is actually useful. Great video.

As my dad used to say, "If it wasn't good Kirkland wouldn't put his signature on it."

“We’re gonna test that” *Companies sweating nervously*

After 20+ years of shopping at Costco, I can trust almost anything labeled Kirkland to be at least equal to the top item in that category in quality with much better value. If Costco sells it I don’t look anywhere else for that Item.

Thanks for the hard work comparing and analyzing the oils. Gives me peace of mind knowing the Kirkland oil is as good as any of the other expensive brands.

Here’s a video idea! “Which wall stud finder is the best?”

Your the first person I have seen look at an oil filter under a microscope! (good job)

Bro I love your videos! You have influenced all of my oil and additive purchases for my truck. I have more faith in your videos than any hearsay/testimonials I've ever heard or will hear

Excellent video and lesson ,thanks . Have a 98 Ford with a 4.2. 311,000 miles and I have used Super Tech 5w30 since I bought it with 76 ,000 . Great oil I think 🙂

Your testing procedures are amazing. The extent to which you go is above and beyond anything I've ever seen and I completely trust your selections based on the tests I witness on your pages. Consumer reports is dead to me compared to what is actually specified here. Thank you for the time and effort. I wonder how you recuperate your investment based on all the machinery you purchase, lab tests, and time of taping, testing, speaking, editing and posting your finds. Uncanny!

After your first video about the kirkland oil I bought some, nice to see this on top of the first one. Your comparison videos are, in my opinion, the best on the tube! Very ingenious testing with real world applications. Thanks so much for what you do!!!!

A video idea is to test what is the best “Windshield Water Repellent” treatment. Here are some brands that are on the market. Rain-X, Aquapel, TriNova, Nano Safeguard, Invisible Glass.

I've been using it on my jeep and the Kirkland diesel oil in my excursion. Can't beat the price and seems to perform well. Nothing has blown up yet!

Of course it is, Kirkland is a premium low price brand, it's all good!

Wonderful breakdown video of the two synthetic brands. I was a helicopter mechanic in the Navy for 20+ years and we only used Synthetic in our aircraft and equipment. I picked up this practice in my own vehicles when I started seeing the benefits to our H60s gear boxes and engines wearing. As you can imagine our aircraft didnt get used gently! We pu them theough the wringer! Baswd on my knoledge and experiences I will not run anything but Synthetic in my vehicle now and recommend it to anyone! Zack Olbon USN Ret.

You drove 10k just for us

Excellent analysis. I just bought a 2 x 5 qt package from Costco this past weekend, since I had heard people say good things about it. I had previously been using conventional oil, but switched to the Castrol Edge Advanced Full Synthetic High Mileage for my 2005 Cavalier last March. It's exactly about a year now and time for a change. I did just over 3K miles. It held up pretty well but I've noticed the oil level start to drop rapidly over the past few weeks. I typically only check the level once in about 3 months, until it gets close to the interval change. I will say that the Full Synthetic definitely made the engine a lot smoother and quieter, especially at the late stage. But the Castrol ( which supposedly is rated higher than the Mobil 1) was @ $28 + for 5 qts, and the Kirkland is $38.99 for 10 qts. That's about a @ $10 savings per 5 qts. If it's almost the same in performance, then why not? Will update later down the road, maybe after 1K miles/ 3 months.

Use the Kirkland 5W30 SYN in my Acadia, Canyon, and 200k mile Suburban for years. Never had any issues at all and much cheaper than big brands. Changed every 3k miles religiously regardless of what manual says and motors are spotless inside. 5.3 in Suburban looks brand new inside when you pull valve covers off.

Really like this program, it goes thru a lot to let us know which product is good, technically. No extra talk, no brand and no bull.

You're over 1M subs!! Congrats and well deserved. I literally buy my motor oil, pennzoil, based off of your testing results! Thank you for being and remaining independent and unsponsored.

Your testing methodology and execution is so incredibly impressive!! Thanks so much for this fantastic comparison. Def earned my sub

Virus Hysteria: Avoid COSTCO! Costco: ...We have cheap oil Everyone: Let's go to Costco!

“We’re gonna test that”.... T-shirt... just saying.

You did a Magnificently Comprehensive Non-Bias Professional Review. This is Black Gold. I really appreciate the Time and Attention you put into the details and sending each sample out to be Lab tested. I have been Hoping to see this Comparison. Wow, I couldn’t have asked for a Better Review. Thank You Sir.

I saw this trick the other day to help catch the oil from an oil filter positioned like that one in the video on the Suburban. The guy grabbed the filter using a red solo cup and spun the filter off using the cup. It catches all the oil when the filter disconnects from the vehicle, holds the filter in the cup, and doesn't make a mess. Smart!

The lubricity test background music is etched into my mind.

I'd be proud to have a Project Farm sticker on my old volvo 240 wagon. I trust everything he says!

The cooked oil in the coffee pots Look like the cooked coffee at Speedway gas stations.

Thank you for taking the time to do this fair oil test comparison. While using good synthetic oil does help, it also helps to change the oil more frequently. Going 4,5, 6,7 thousand miles between oil changes Vs only 3 to 4 thousand miles results in far cleaner internal engine components and less overall engine wear. Those little post office cube trucks we see on our nation's roads each day were all built during 1986 & 1988 and their 4 cylinder Chevy engines are still running reliably today almost 40 years after they were put into service and their oil is changed every 3,000 miles or less. Those Grumman built aluminum bodies and Grumman aircraft quality paint jobs on them while over 35 years old look almost as good as new.

I love your channel. You spend an incredible amount of time setting up tests and doing proper quantitative testing not just "seat of the pants" stuff. Keep up the great work!

Now that’s what I call a “product comparison!” Well done my friend. Thank you.

I saw this last time I was at costco! Was wondering if you'd get to it! Nice work as usual PF!

Regardless of what you're testing or if I watch it all, I always give a thumbs up to help your channel. I hope you'll keep doing what you're doing and always stay true.

My utmost favorite channel!! Teaches me something new everytime and helps me get the best bang for my buck. Please never go away my friend!!

I've been a Costco member for awhile and have found them trustworthy. Generally their stuff is quality and there's been no complaints except when they discontinued something I like. I've found their store brands to be better than the name brands which is refreshing. Still, nice to get the reviews and testing to keep them on their toes. Thanks.

As a railroad employee I have spent many hours placing loaded tank cars of lube oil into facilities that process oil from tank cars into packaging. One tank car I tracked from a refinery in Texas was turned into no less than seven different brand containers! Refineries make the oil to meet a given standard and sell under bulk contract to packaging facilities. I was stunned to watch pallets of various brands of oil bottled, placed in boxes, then onto pallets and loaded into trucks to various retail outlets. Same with some tools. We spot the raw materials and they are turned into molten ingots which are then forged into wrenches with different brand names. Did you think Craftsman had their own steel mill? The massive power hammers the slam the hot steel into wrenches are an awesome sight. And that's just the beginning. Don't even ask me about beer...

Congrats sir, one man is more useful to the world than the whole Consumers Reports organization!

Dude, this is my favorite KZfaq channel. Thank you for what you do. Just the right length and packed with detail. Thank you.

The attention to detail, consistency, patience and dedication this man has is amazing. If hes not a millionaire I would be surprised.

Please be careful using those ramps. I've had one collapse on me and I'll never use them again. Maybe weld a brace on the sides from front to back so it can't happen. Be safe. Love your videos.

Thanks for this video! I had been wondering the quality of Costcos motor oil…. I was using it before and stopped cause my mechanic didn’t think it was good!!… sounds started paying about $15 dollars more PER GALLON. but now I’m gonna go back to it. Thanks again.
