I think I'm going to do the same. I've been running Mobil 1 for probably 20 years

@@lobbyrobby By what he, Project Farm did, is tell me that Penz Ultra is close to Ams oil without the price. Use it in all the cars I take care of for friends and family

@@socalltd Switched from Mobil 1 to Ultra Platinum two years ago. Ultra Platinum has a very good additive package. My ‘17 Camry and ‘19 CX-5 have never run better.

@@ChicagoRob2 couldn’t agree more. I wish more people knew of the changing industry. I hear most people say that Mobil 1 is the best oil despite not being able to give any facts.

MY LIFE STORY OF ENGINE OIL... My first car was a old 1998 Honda accord and I use Valvoline simply because the name sounded nice lol 😆 😅 and the price was reasonable 😅... Never had issue with it. Then I switch to more expensive Royal Purple because it again sounded nice and the color of the oil I'm like WHAAAAT... I was young OK... My second car was a old 2000 Toyota Celica with the Manual Transmission. My first Manual transmission car and the first Manual I learn from. The car had a bad oil burning issue and I had to constantly check the oil level every week to top off, but other then the oil burning the engine actually runs fine mechanically. During this time I use the cheapest brand I could find because I was topping off the oil level constantly every week and was cutting into my wallet, so I went cheap. My third car was a 2006 Toyota 4runner with the 4.7 V8. This time I did my research and did a lot of asking around and most people told me go with Mobil 1 and that it was the best. So I use Mobil 1 on my 4runner for 4 years. I usually do oil change around 4,000 to 5,000 mile mark. But the issue with with Mobil 1 was that when ever I reach that 4,000 to 5,000 mark I feel my engine feeling sluggish and each time I do a oil change I always tell myself "I sure love new oil because the engine just feels so good each time I get new oil" For the longest time I thought that was normal. Then as I got older and got more busy with life I decided to take my 4runner to the shop for oil change instead of doing it myself like I did in the past. I went to the closes location which was Firestone and I notice that they use Pennzoil. Up to that point I've notice Pennzoil but I never use it before so I decided to go went with it. The first time using Pennzoil when I hit that 4,000 to 5,000 miles mark my engine didn't feel sluggish and that suprise me alot. Because with Mobil 1 when ever I get to that 4,000 to 5,000 mark my engine would always feel sluggish but not with Pennzoil. I was really shock because up to that point I thought it was just a normal thing. So I did another round of Pennzoil and again the engine didn't feel sluggish with the Pennzoil when I hit that 4,000-5,000 mile mark. So on the next oil change I went back to Mobil 1 just to see if I'm tripping or not and sure enough once I hit that 4,000 to 5,000 mile mark my engine felt sluggish again with Mobil 1. So ever since then I made the switch to Pennzoil and it have been 4 years of me using Pennzoil. Since then I've brought a Tundra and Pennzoil is all I use for that Tundra. Pennzoil is my brand of choice and I've been using it for 4 years now. And that's my experience with engine oil, literally hands on life experience.

What type of oil were you running before?

@@matthewkim983 I got the car used, so I don't know what they were running in it before. I assume whatever the express lube place uses.

I noticed exactly the same on my Honda Accord

Look at the video he did on the opened up ford engine in the truck....it was a mobil 1 engine....looked great....clean..no wear on that cam cap he had.....he was saying changing oil on time is the main thing...

If it's working for you send out a sample and see what you get back and then send out a sample of Pennzoil Platinum Ultra and see what you get back compare that

That should help you make your choice of what you're going to do

That truck will run forever

It's ridiculous to change a synthetic oil that often. One year or 10,000 miles easy. I change mine once a year and my truck has 300,000 miles. when I used regular oil when I was younger i change my hot rod 400 small block 69 Camaro every 5000 miles. It's a waste to do it more often.

@@VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM Lol. 10k oci kills motors, its been shown first hand from mechanics who usually recommend 5k synthetic changes. 5k for synthetic, 3k for regular Change oil when its dirty and burnt, Id bet at 5k it is

BMW actually specs Penzoil platinum if you don’t use their branded oil. 2011 BMW X5 v8 E70

It’s really the additive package you can have a 40% difference In film strength

@@mddunlap03 which had the better addictives.....and what make amsoil so good???

@@stevejordan2575 okay Scotty Kilmer tone it down lol

Mobile 1 is garbage. More engine noise and evaporates more than other oils I have used.

There are later comparisons where this has been done Mobil, Fram, Stp oil are the worst I've seen so far

@@FordBossMe thanks I’ll take a look.

Quaker State makes a good oil. They're owned by Royal Dutch Shell who also owns Penzoil. I have used Quaker State whenever it's on sale at Walmart or other stores. I've also used Shell Rotella and liked that a lot too. But the key is regular oil changes at 5,000 miles. I've done that and have over 300k miles on two cars without issue.

This wasnt even a ecoboost??

No it wasn't but he has a point

Lmaooo Fembot Ford and their JUNK Ecopussy engines are TRASH 🗑 🤣

Lucky, you having any additive fallout at the bottom of the bottles?

@@TheNuclearBolton None so far, but I do shake my oil bottles a bit before pouring if they've been sitting more than 6 months.

Good stuff

You know autozone price matches?

K&N air filters let more dirt into your engine. I’m glad you decided to go back to OEM to be honest.

@@MrFart451 Autozone doesn’t carry the Ultra Platinum line, and they will not order it for you. I live near a flagship store and have discussed this with the general manager at length - autozone corporate doesn’t think Ultra Platinum sells enough or has enough interest for them to carry it.

Unless you're using a different viscosity there is no difference in oil weight and the ticking is something you're conjuring in your head.

​@@pbaker7160 Wrong. I worked in a fast change lube shop and all oils were stored in the same ambient temp. Certain brands were noticeably thinner than others. (same viscosity ratings) I've switch my own and found a significant sound difference.

1997 4runner at 212K I put new valve cover gaskets on. Mobil 1 from new, 5K oil changes. It looked new. No wear on the lobes. Maybe that's why Mobil 1 is popular, because it works.

Right every one uses the engine different. My old 06 3.7 jeep builds up condensation crap. I don't like the gunk under the cap in winter so always change it at 3k. In the Summer I don't see that nasty crap as much. I've tried having it on for atleast 40 mins. Have it warm up then 25min runs to work but no difference.

@@jimmy1life Make sure to change out your PCV valve.. I think the best thing is to get in the car, start it, check the dash for any lights that say bad things, set the things you want on, and leave... Sitting in the driveway warming it up is not always a good thing.. The sooner you get moving, the sooner the engine with a load on it now, warms up, and the oil temperature takes the longest to warm up to the best temp for it to flow, etc... BMW "M" cars have an oil temp gauge that will not allow you to rev the motor until the oil temperature is at the right degree so that it is flowing to all the parts at their specified pressure..

@@davidberkey1041 yup it does work well. I’ve used in my Odyssey with 10-13k oil change intervals and the used oil analysis from Blackstone always came back perfect.

@@davidberkey1041all oils work well if you change it in time.

Thicker is not always better. 90% of engine wear comes from startup which means flow rate is extremely important. That's where mobile shines

@@johnsmith3735 Thicker is not good at all. The whole point of these newer oils is that they have to be thin to lubricate modern engine designs properly.

@@scarhart53 Thanks for proving my point. Have a good one.👍

Same for my Acura MDX

Absolutely agree When I was on the phone tonight with a MMO engineer we spoke about stuff like this Today's oils are nothing like they were 20yrs ago and completely different

Correct! I remember many years ago when Pennzoil was what we used in our gasoline tractors and push mowers because it was cheap and good enough for those low RPM motors. Today it's and one of the best. I use it in my F150 and also my Grand Marq with 162,000 miles that still purrs like a kitten

Yes, I try to tell the sheeps that oil formulations change every few years and the Pennzoil Platinum Ultra vs Amsoil SS test is no long applicable as it has already gone through at least x1 reformulation. New testing is required for comparison. The sheeps don’t listen and just believe what they already made their mind up with rather than actual updated data. One thing is certain is that despite reformulation, Amsoil is always top 3 oil

@@LoveLikeaHurricane The last time Project Farm tested these synthetic oils, the top three were, in order, Amsoil Signature, Red Line, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum.

I will do that next I'll order it now

Use the wix xp filter it’s an upgraded wix and wix is one of the very best in the industry

@@bsextremesports Do you the P/N for a 2020 3.5 EB motor?

Try *Baldwin_filters* .

Change the oil 1000 miles on a brand new vehicle and then go back to normal

Yeah it seems that Pennzoil Ultra Plantium is better then the Amsoil XL. The ultra platinum is also almost half the price of the amsoil XL.

Toyota has a 4.6L too. It is in the LS 460. It would probably be more similar to the DOHC cobra engine. The 3.5L and 5.7L are similar. I also have a Grand Marquis. I always use pp. ON a flat highway I can get 29 -30 on the display if I drive 60 and easy. I have the 2.79 rear.

@@alb12345672 If you are on a freeway where you can do it try increasing your speed and I bet you'll still get that MPG or maybe just a little less. I checked it with my display and also calculated it manually to make sure. Some people can't believe I'm getting that MPG from a V-8.

I've never really thought about that to be honest with you

I couple months ago I picked up some jugs of ultra platinum from Amazon for $33 CAD. Canadian tire can be hit or miss with Pennzoil ultra platinum products.

Valvoline good oil and castrol oil. U had problems with castrol oil??

Im telling you, people are asleep on it

😅Dark is not trash in the oil. Dark is an addative used to indicate heat cycling so that you can visually see the oil life change. If you were purely driving 70 mph interstates continuously the oil would stay "clean" looking.

So far so good I'm starting to notice a little bit of noise on Startup but not very much

@@FordBossMe I have a 2008 Ford Focus 600,000 km on it. Motor still perfect after it's first oil change it was synthetic oil every 5000 km.

The best most affordable synthetic oil that I've tested so far is going to be Valvoline Advanced and Valvoline extended protection for the regular oils right next to Pennzoil Platinum Ultra these are the top three regular affordable oils The very best oil that I've tested so far is Red Line the red bottle Esther bass oil and second to the best when money is not an issue would be sSchafer Supreme 9,000

I use PUP 5w30 in my 18 Subaru WRX wrx with great results. Have since the car was new on its very first oil change. Now at 102k miles. I used to buy it locally special ordered for like 75 bucks and i think that was for 6 quarts until i started to use amazon. The thing with amazon is the prices on that oil change drastically from time to time. Sometimes its $50 sometimes its 60 and sometimes its 65 for a 3 pack of 5 quart bottles. I just ordered some at the last price. You have to find it when its down and stock up then. Been doing this since about 2019. Keep an open eye and be willing to spend the $ when available at the lower prices.

I stock up on Pennzoil UP 0w-20. I had so much it will last me for years. I try to use up within 3-4 years at most.

I don't know why

I have also watched Project farm championship episodes and upon the verdict I've decided to switch from Mobil 1 to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum on all my vehicles including on my procharged Vette. Right under amsoil you can't beat that and also the price is right for Pennzoil Ultra. Thaks Boss for the lab reports and also on the info on the Oil filters.

Is that that new looking Castrol Edge That's rated for 20,000 miles it's supposed to be really good it's got like a gold bottle

One of the ones that I'm going to do coming up is Castrol Edge extended performance

I'll run it again for all the people crying about the damn thing

I don't understand how you guys want anything more than what I've given you it's like you guys want other people to give you the content and then they give it to you and then people still find reasons to complain about it I'm the one paying for everything none of you guys are offering the extra help to pay for this stuff it's on me but yet you want more and want more and want more

@@FordBossMe Sorry not meant as a criticism, perhaps it came across as such, unfortunately. I'm not complaining, nor expecting you to rerun your tests. I enjoy your logical thorough approach to all things automotive. As always this was very interesting and it seems that penzoil and mobile one are common, affordable, oils that people have to choose between. I really meant the thank you for your videos and I do enjoy your content.

@@ddanbudy sorry it's been a rough month and it's been a rough couple months I've been doing so much for people and trying to give so much and I'm getting very little in returns was very exhausting and now I'm home sick on top of it still trying to help people from home

@@FordBossMe I hope that you feel better soon. I would think that this is a challenging platform to deal with, especially when you are not at your peak and as they say, everyone is a critic. The less qualified, the more critical..

More testing requires more money and unless more subscribers come on or people are going to start jumping on the Discord I'm not putting any more money into things that I have to sew start encouraging people to join the patreon or something because everything that you guys wants cost additional money

Prolong?

Many of the dollar store oils are not api approved and if you read the bottle it will say not for automotive applications.

@@BrianBourgeois- I had no idea that was still available. I haven't been in a dollar store (99 cents store by me) in years, when I was I didn't look at the oil. Thanks

Any good oil will work fine

I would

@@FordBossMe I'll switch back then didn't know it was that much worse for filtering

@@quintonrichardson4506 look up the project farm air filter comparison video. K&N filters are terrible for daily driver vehicles.

5k max and any name brand oil and quality filter that is rated dexos approved

GM uses 5w30 oils.

They would

Ehhh should be no problem

I seen on Amazon they have Penzoil ultra? Does not say platinum and label is black with some hyper clean writing, wondering if that's the same pup formula or a new one?

I don't pull my oil from there for my samples

This motor doesn't lose Coolant

It comes through the dipstick for samples

And when you pull your sample even when you use the valve you don't pull right away if you did from the bottom so that wouldn't be it either

@@FordBossMe you’re correct on how you’re sampling. I just didn’t know where or how you sampled and thought that might have been where that trace copper came in. No coolant losses and sodium being up is why I mentioned any pour in additives or cleaners between. Could be part of their ingredients in that mix. All in all, it’s a healthy vehicle for sure. Silicon should drop off more the next few changes with that Fram Ultra oil filter. Looking forward to the next report for sure.

Not anymore...you must be thinking about back in the hurricane katrina days when thry had additive supplier problems.. .

I will and yes

I went straight to Aimsoil And I ready to send that sample out Then used aimsoil flush to flush my engine and now currently using royal purple

I'll just run Platinum in my car then switch drop

You're going to have to use your best judgement on that

It's fine for older vehicles

I wish more people would

@@FordBossMe I’m thinkin’ they might and have seen a lot going with Pennzoil lately!

In my opinion it's just a gimmick. Is there any evidence anywhere that suggests it's better than any other common off the shelf oil? I have seen oil testing that had this oil as middle of the road when it came to wear protection. This tells me the only things special about it is color and smell which does nothing to prevent wear.

@@Deucealive75 I haven't tried it because it's more expensive than mobil one.

RP has inferior cold-flow properties compared to Penn UP.

Your doing it wrong if it caused your mass airflow sensor to clog

Becoming harder and harder to find on the Shelf anywhere
