Is Royal Purple's full synthetic 5W-30 motor better than Amsoil's 100% synthetic 5W-30 motor oil? In this video both products go head to head in several tests. Both Amsoil and Royal Purple are very high quality synthetic motor oils. I bought both of these products using my own money. I am not sponsored by Amsoil or Royal Purple, and I do not sell Amsoil or Royal Purple products. The testing methods outlined in this video are my own and not performed using expensive oil lab testing equipment or following the ASTM, SAE or API testing standards. The three tests outlined in the video include tests for viscosity at varying temperatures, film strength, and evaporative testing. In my opinion, the testing approaches used in this video provide consumers with valuable information on choosing the right motor oil for their specific application. Hope you enjoy the rest of the video and thank you very much for supporting the channel by watching the commercials and through Patreon support. / projectfarm

I will still continue to use Royal Purple for its detergent/cleaning properties! Engines that are taken apart after using it are unbelievably clean! I have very strict "what to use, what not to use" issues with the BMW M4. I will always still remain mindful of making sure I always give proper warmup time. The cold flow also really surprised me! You cannot go wrong with either of them! More wear/tear will be done via driving style/use/proper abuse VS just coming down to which oil you choose! In conclusion.. this guy goes all out with these tests and its freaking awesome seeing how large his channel and subscriber base has gotton! GREAT STUFF!

@@ProjectFarm Your testing runs with my findings. I bought a 2012 BMW Alpina B7 and alternated Amsoil and RP every 10k miles with a 3k washout in between using BMW recommended Castrol. I gave each oil 5 runs of 10k each so a grand total of 100k testing miles. Results were as follows: Amsoil consistantly had lower burnoff and less metals content in (ppm) than RP. RP had consistently better mpg and carbon buildup(visual inspection of cylinder heads) than Amsoil. I concluded at 140k that each of these oils "proprietary" blend is designed to do something different!!! Amsoil obviously has something in it that increases stability at high temps. RP obviously has something in it that reduces friction. Thanks for posting your findings!

I own my own trucking company and would like to a make a suggestion for you to test Ford Diesel Oil, Shell Rotella Diesel Oil, Schaeffer Diesel Oil, and Lucas Diesel Oil both synthetic and regular. I started running Lucas over Schaffer’s due to cost and want to make sure I’m not ruining my engines. In my experience with Rotella, my engines have always burned oil and with other brands I do not. I want to make sure the oil I’m using is safe for my engine. I trust and respect your results that you come up with in your videos and would appreciated an unbiased answer from someone I trust.

Royal purple lasted 3-4 sessions and redline would go the whole day but not another track day. Amsoil lasted multiple track days including numerous top speed blasts, 1/4 mile passes and normal street driving.

The problem I see with this test is he is using RP's entry level API oil and not their mid level or top line oils. Amsoil signature is in the top of Amsoils line up. RP now has HPS their mid level oil and XPR which is their full racing oil. the HPS is the stating point were you get their special additive, since they have been bought out. That means the cheaper API oil off wal-mart or box store auto parts stores do not come with Synerlec®. It also has higher zinc and other additives like the Amsoil.

They could carry about 60% of the load that RP could, until the Phalex machine seized the test bearings. I'm glad to see that Amsoil is now equal to and exceeding RP.

Its because AMSOIL SIGNATURE SERIES uses (PAO base stock) mixed with an (ESTER base stock) the ONLY other oil brand to use ESTERs in 2019 is Redline, because of the extremely high cost, the issue is an ESTER oil by itself absorbs a lot of moisture much like brake fluid does. So for racing applications where the oil is changed daily or per race, its the best option for lubrication. But in the application of daily transportation you require PAO mixed with it to block the moisture out. A massive percentage of "synthetic" oils on the market are crude oil base stock heavily refined in a process called hydro-cracking(this legally is considered synthetic oil), a TINY percentage of the "synthetic" oils on the market are a mixture of PAO and ESTER base. Hence why AMSOIL is un-beatable in automotive transportation application, and machinery applications including; Jet engines. MOBIL 1 used to sell the same product as AMSOIL and did away with it, because the cost didn't yield enough profit margin. But true PAO and ESTER based oils have been around for a very very long time, but were 1st brought to the automotive market by AMSOIL and AMSOIL is the only company to continue selling it to this day in their SIGNATURE SERIES !ONLY! All other AMSOIL bottles are the same as Mobilone/Quakerstate/Castrol/Royalpurple/etc.etc.. In the sense they are refined crude oil, with a tiny fraction of real PAO base stock mixed in with an additive package, not real synthetic oil but thanks to Mobil 1's law suit it is legally considered "Synthetic oil" Thus to stay competative AMSOIL offers the same product at the increased profit margins like the other companies but maintains its "Signature line" with the original formula with modern additive packages. Hope that enlightens some people, the issue is with "synthetic blend" oils, because if it says "synthetic blend" on the bottle, there is no limits set to how much of the bottle needs to be synthetic or "hydrocracked" crude oil, so companies like Castrol, with their GTX synthetic blend sell a bottle with basically plain conventional oil (crappy at best) mixed with a tiny bit of hydrocracked crude oil to consider it a "synthetic blend" and then during tests if you look barely meet the minimal requirements. Hence why you see AMSOIL consistently in 1st and 2nd place, and not castrol. Or any other brand... unfortunately, because I ran Castrol for years. The same over priced oil that wasn't as the label led me to believe.

That's great for stationary engines and race engines, but, will those esters foul catalytic converters and oxygen sensors? I have found in many cases, the cars that need to have emission control components replaced, are the ones that consume more oil. I think fouling by components of the oil play a bigger part, than how the car is driven, unless the driving causes higher oil consumption. I'm always trying to find information on line, to see if some EP additive does the same thing as tetra ethylene lead. I know that some oils use zinc for better lubricity, and that might be hard on emission components.

@@bluesky7333 How do you feel about changing oil in that long distance interval? I read engineering reports, watch these videos from Scotty Kilmer, the Car Care Nut, who say that modern engines still burn oil, dilute oil with gasoline, which acts as a solvent, score piston cylinders, and still recommend using full synthetic oil but changing every 5,000 miles. I like that you are using Amsoil, I just cannot reconcile that with your distance interval; 10,000 miles seems like a lot of diluted gasoline, burned oil inside. But, you wrote that it saves you from having to change the oil so often, so perhaps for you that is the upside. I change my oil every 4,000 miles, use Valvoline high mileage max life full synthetic, and add a can of oil additive BG MOA PN 115 to it. Maybe I don't quite need to go to Amsoil with my profile?

@@Artecus Let's make sure we're on same page. FULL synthetic is not 100% synthetic. There is a difference. FULL Synthetic is still a blend of synthetic and base oils. AMSOIL is the ONLY oil that is 100% synthetic. I go 10,000 miles or thereabouts, but note that AMSOIL GUARANTEES UP TO 25,000 MILE INTERVALS. If going up that high they recommend their filter, because it catches much smaller particles. I have only had 3 cars (all used) in the last 25 years. The total cost for all 3 was $20,000. I wouldn't do what I do if I was a new car every 3 years kind of guy. I've had my used Tundra now for 16 years. It has been my daily driver the whole time.

I use full synthetic in my 91.5 Dodge Cummins and gained 1/2 mpg running mountain interstate 18,000 lbs but our 96 5.9 gas didn't like synthetic so it gets 40 weight non synthetic and picked up 1 mpg but I do use Lucas oil additive synthetic and regular in both vehicles maybe overkill but they use less than 1/2 quart between 5000 mile oil changes and these vehicles are not babied running the Appalachian mountains

You've done this with other products, I imagine this video didn't have it because of testing limitations, not to mention the amount of time this must suck out of your life. It would be hilarious to have these 2 premium products tested in a batch with gas station conventional. Run down to QT or wherever and pick up a bottle of the sludge they have next to the counter and run it next to the big boys. I think it would give some good appreciation of "you get what you pay for" Absolutely amazing videos man, thank you so much for the content!

An interesting test would be a top line like Amsoil against a bunch of economy, store brands. Also would be interesting to run the wear test on the cooked oils. I absolutely love your channel.

I would normally use my go to Shell Rotella T6 15w40, but low and behold there is none to be had through retailers or distributors. One place I did find it wanted nearly $140 for a 2.5 gallon jug. One year ago that jug was $56.00.

no matter how good an oil is it still gets dirty which is why I don’t believe in 10k or longer change intervals. it’s better (in my opinion) to do 2 Mobil 1, Pennzoil Ultra, Royal Purple etc. in 10k than 1 Amsoil.

I ran both RP and Amsoil Marine 10w40 Oils in my supercharged JetSki. It's a harsh environment for an oil to endure because the engine is usually near red line at top speeds, and my boost pressure is 15+ PSI. Plus you need to account for the moisture salt rich environment. Both were ran to 20 hours which is what Kawasaki recommends with samples sent to blackstone labs.. The results were that the RP didn't hold up anywhere near as well as the Amsoil did. The RP lost viscosity as well where the Amsoil didn't. I am not sure if this lines up with your results, but I wouldn't buy RP before this video, and certainly won't after it.. Thank you for doing this test sir..
