Test degreaser

Did you do a show down with Lucas against motorkote

Do you repair those now ? Just wondering... I've recently discovered your channel. Love it

Dude. I love all of your videos. Showed my honey the video on your jump boxes.

Thabks for everything. I would love to see a showdown of oil additives. Specifically MMO and Amsoil

Thank you!

Lol

"Ask any mower. Any real mower. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning

Glass half full optimist. Respect

Lucas is good but I'll stick to duralube!

Matt Stambaugh would you like to sign up for itc?

That's awesome believe it that's how it usually works

I do bet that someone has probably done that.

Hey Matt, I thought the same thing! Great minds think alike.

roflmmfao!

Thank you for the feedback!

Donate an engine then.

That's true would be interesting

he tested plain oil in another video, -38 minutes dry. the other product lasted 70 minutes..... so both these died before plain oil...

​@@peetky8645 he did have a plain oil comparison with the bearing tests which clearly showed plain oil took damage faster...

Thanks! Thanks for sharing.

You are welcome!

Hella.

Agreed… an honest mechanic who communicates clearly - the holy grail

Allot of people sell out to KZfaq and brands make offers you cannot refuse.. please don't accept those offers.

I agree, but also want him to make a living so I will buy one of his shirts.

Thank you!

Dennis Morris good one

The Synthetic version has a more refined full body flavor that is gentke on your palate,

😂🤣

:D you forgot to add a bit of ketchup

Thanks for sharing.

Out of curiosity, do you use the Lucas synthetic or the regular thick Lucas?

@@HeadgeHunterjust use the regular I’ve had similar results. The regular can be used in synthetic oil or standard.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you

Who knew 🤷‍♂️

We have a genius

When my piston is pounding in her cylinder I prefer virgin oil...

@@jodysims4785 shame your piston is so small you don't need to worry about any lubrication it's never gonna seize😂

Thanks so much!

Agreed!!!!

Indeed

Right. Make MORE!! VERY well-designed testing methodology, clear & proper instrumentation. Enjoyed your car battery tests too. YOU de man ha ha.

True

Thanks, will do!

Thanks!

Great information. Thank you!

I had a Lincoln Mark VIII that REQUIRED synthetic transmission fluid. The trans already slipped a little and I had the fluid and filter changed. The shop used conventional trans fluid...out of ignorance I guess. I wasn't going to bitch since it already slipped and I wasn't going to invest in a rebuild since the car wasn't worth the money. I put in a pint (?) of Lucas transmission fluid additive and a month or so later, the transmission didn't slip at all! I drove the car for 5 more years. When I sold it, it still didn't have any transmission problems. Hard to believe, I know but that stuff works! I use Lucas products in all my high mileage vehicles since then...every oil change and the transmission gets Lucas whenever they get low on trans fluid. Great stuff imo.

I had a 98' Chevy Blazer that the reverse was out in. Changed the transmission filter, fluid, put a bottle of Lucas in, and reverse worked until I got rid of it. Love Lucas products

I've used it in power steering pumps also helps slow leaks

Lol sounds like your fluid level was really low causing the torque converter to slip until giving it alot of gas. Lucas will fix the level and freshen up and expand existing fluid. Very lucky you didn't ruin your trans.

Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the feedback.

I was always Impressed with JB weld I had a moter cycle that had a engine case put together with JB weld. It worked for about 4 years I think it's the Duked tape of the epoxy world.

Haaaahaaha

James Smith did you see his video where he patched a cylinder head together with JBweld?

The Pyramids were built with JB weld!! That's the 'mysterious' tech.

@@Alvan81 it checks out.

lol Thanks for watching.

@@ProjectFarm I dunno - the label says "You must check oil every 8 hours"... he's just doing what the label says! :-)

??

more like Harbor Freight

Why wouldn’t they want to sell him engines?

Oil brands alone and unsupported would be a GREAT test. Castrol claims come to mind.

I was thinking the same thing. It would have been nice to see if the engines with the additives would have last any longer then the engine with straight oil.

Exactly what I was thinking!

You need a control group.

I concur

Thank you

So Lucas wins, kinda knew it since I trust it on my dirtbike 2 stroke. Only way to go is Lucas Trusted Brand.

You'll get there

The title question was answered. Which one destructs first. However, it would have been really nice to know how much longer the Lucas product worked

THANKS FOR THE SPOILER

You are welcome!

Thanks.

lol. Funny!

You have a very understanding wife

@@midascomment1658 My kind of girl.

Thanks for watching!

Harbor freight employees will be like “Umm, didn’t you just buy these? What happened?”

@@Bszp5413 more likely, Harbor Freight employee texts buddy during the return, never opens the box

Project Farm " we're going to test that "

Thank you very much!

Good job keep it real

Thanks! Thanks for the constructive feedback.

Gotta have a control with just oil agreed...controls give a baseline reference...very important

I thought of this and then considered buying a third engine just to set it to self destruct would suck.

Damn good idea son.....

@@carsoncraytor9920 it's all in the name of science

No really?

That's not true....Slick 50, back before he took it away from Shell dem it without any oil. They ran an Accord around without any oil to prove their point. Sold today as Bishop's Original or Lubrilon I think. I've used it since the late seventies in every engine I run.

Lmao seriously dude no oil at all in there

@Qtri Nity Could we get you to prove that? Need any help?

@@floridianrailauto9032 Sounds good when do we leave?

As you can see on the guy's "Lucas in the lawnmower" post, I'm one of those synthetic additive believers. Even today I'm running a high-miler Villager on straight STP being very careful to idle up to operating temp before driving. Cost? 6 15 oz containers of STP and an STP oil filter.

Trans additive made my transmission shift like new

He mixed it according to the manufacturer on the bottle

@@badasspearldrummer Right, he's wondering if the outcome would be different if the STP were to be mixed at the same concentration as the Lucas instead of the STP manufacturer specification.

@@FinalFront Lucas says you can use up to 60%, so where do you draw the line.

@@bigboreracing356 my brother in christ why did you even watch the video for?

@@bigboreracing356 edgy

Tavo24vv the high mileage oil has additives that swell up the gaskets and seals to keep an old engine from having oil leaks.

yellowlt1ta I’ve heard about that but It almost sounds to good to be true.

Thank you for this recommendation and thanks for the positive comment!

I agree with yellowlt1ta I used to manage an oil change location in ATL and that's what those types of oils do they swell up the gaskets to prevent or minimize leaking.. I always said it "conditions" the gaskets

How long would it take for these engines to break if you left the oil in but ran them day / night until they died? My guess is maybe 100 hours.

Yes, but plenty of "oversmart" engineers will challenge you... :) "It was too small a sample"... "there was no control engine"...etc. etc. They need to ask their parents why there isn't another control child so they could measure what they actually accomplished in life LOL.

@@mehtasid lmfao that's hilarious

I agree with you. Test of two products that were both used in a way they were never intended to be used. Poured all the lubricant out so you are testing the absence of two products.

@Dwain S&w It's a legitimate test. Most engine wear occurs during cold-starting, when all the oil has drained down into the pan, because it takes a little time for the oil pump to circulate the oil. If one of these additives leaves a residue on engine parts after the oil has drained and that residue provides some lubrication, then it is likely to reduce engine wear especially on vehicles that re cold-started frequently. Since one ran 12 minutes without oil and the other ran 21 minutes without oil, one of them does seem a clear winner.

I wonder if one was a little tight on the manufacturing tolerances and the other a little loose on the tolerances how it would impact the test. @@webgrunt

Thanks and you are welcome!

Thank you for the video idea!

Marvel Mystery Oil is more of a top end lube, keeps the valves from sticking, etc. Not the same thing as these additives.

@@stewartmarshall4112 True. My suggestion was more for curiosity's sake for a different video. I use MMO in every oil change and my valves have always been nice and quite when using it. Slick50 was something we were paid to hock when I briefly worked at Jiffy Lube as a teenager and I always considered it snake oil used to dupe the people who didn't have much knowledge about cars and were making the mistake of trusting Jiffy Lube.

lol

@@ProjectFarm Definitely think this should be revisited. Run the engine with the directed ratio and see how it affects the oil and the results of wear. I've heard questionable things about what it does when mixing with the engine oil. I'd love to see an engine running with 100% Lucas in the crankcase as well. I think that would be a very interesting outcome!

*THATS A LOTTA DAMAGE*

Now we must see the video where @projectfarm excitedly repairs both engines and compares flex seal to flex glue.

Dude I swear as I was reading don’t say it... I thought of the exact same thing

Eyyyy lmao

💪 They'll get a hole knocked in their block 2!

You have to put oil in your car but your woman lubricates herself.

Lol... I'm rollin.....

That has to be one of the best things I’ve heard. Dead on lmao.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm a say it may have saved something to where minimal work would have been needed. But then could have been enough heat stress, that when it cooled down the stress is already set and next crank would expose it.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this recommendation!

They run for 20 plus minutes without oil. I'd say they are worth $100 bucks! Weak link is the conrod. But as long as it never runs out of oil.. It will never be a problem.

i definitely agree with that! They have these Honda clones down to a science!

Also flywheels are known to grenade at higher RPM's with the governor removed, even on the genuine Hondas.

time to use an oil cooler and carillo rods!! add a yoshi exhaust to it and compare figures on a dyno!!

Thanks for the positive comment!

Gee Mud, start making your own vids, you'll see, there is NO sacrifice. Ask Chris Fix or Scotty Kilmer. Both could now take crates of these engines and dump them into the bottom of the sea, and think NOTHING of SACRIFICE.

In the name of science!

Gary Kovach see you have it

MudRFunR Hey! You're that Canadian guy with the Vortec engines!

Thanks for the video idea.

Thanks!

Lol

Science be praised.

Same! I was cringing the whole time.

just watch NHTSA crash tests on supercars

K I’ll in the name of science LoL 😂

Thanks for this recommendation.

Project Farm Totally agree. And really if this is going to be the de facto test setup - two to three engines on just the manufacturer recommended oil viscosity as the control group. of course you’ll also want to control for room temperature since these are air cooled. Personally I’d also like to see the break in oil drained off and replaced before the actual test starts because often that has some gnarly stuff in it - and that could easily be different engine to engine. If you really wanna get scientific and take away a little bit of naysayer ammo - it wouldn’t be too hard to put together a couple arduinos to graph out rpm and temperature through the test cycle. Just need a hall sensor, and a thermocouple or two, and an Sd shield to log to. I’m not sure how you set engine speed but doing it this way would correct for an engine that didn’t start at the exact same time as another, and for running speed, because if they start going 20-25 minutes and one is 5-10% different rpm that’s 1-3 minutes of run time, which if you’re gonna do a bunch of these tests you might as well do it right and be ready for close calls. That whole test kit would be like $30-40 an engine tops. Dm me if you want more info or a hand putting those together. Testing wise - These are some that jump to my mind: recommended viscosity vs a heavier weight vs a lighter weight, or even a 5/30 vs straight 30 conventional vs partial vs full synthetic, or if you wanna split hairs maybe a rotella t5 hybrid vs the valvoline and castrol high mileage.. since those are oil + their special additive packages. Zddp additive / the various disulphides..

Bill Simon I thought the same Bill.

My thoughts exactly

From what I understand, this guy does this out of his own pocket. If so, a third engine might not be in the budget.

Thanks and you are welcome!

Yes. Do the motorcoat

You are welcome!

Thanks and you are welcome!

other videos with straight oil and oil with additives.

Thank you for the video idea!

I would like to see that also on the 212 Predator Hemi's.

Synthetic been deregulated

It's a known fact that synthetic will win. You can't use synthetic in rotary engines since it doesn't break down as well and causes the engines to eventually lock up from the build up of oil.

And include amzoil in your test

You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.

Great feedback. Thank you!

Thank you for this recommendation!

I second this request !

That's a great day at work... I'd like to see Amsoil vs. Royal Purple or Safety Kleen is now selling their synthetic and blends commercially, that would be great to see

That is very interesting about the moli. I'd like to see coconut oil vs olive oil myself!

That was interesting about why they were developed

LOL! Thanks for commenting.

nitroman365, am I the only who noticed what you said is Paul Walkers line in The Fast and the Furious? R.I.P. Paul, you made an impact on car enthusiasts bro :-). . . btw, Im in AZ so Lucas it is for me !!!!!!!!!!!! STP however, I will not use seems like a hint it will stop your motor from engine death, reminds me of a great singer from S.T.P. who died of an overdose....R.I.P. Scott Weiland. Thankfully S.T.P. is moving forward with new lead singer Jeff Gutt...Rock on bros!!!!!

Tuna on white. No crust, right?

I run lucas in all my 350s. One full bottle and top off with rotella . Never had any problems.

lol. Great point!

🤣🤣🤣

Lmao yep❣️❣️❣️ Like I mentioned before I wake up say I’m going to watch him for 10 minutes then from 7:45am to 1:00pm❣️❣️❣️ My fiancé hates him but I love him. Tomorrow I’ll finally start PATREON❣️❣️❣️ Nothing is free and I’ll pay to watch, like a magician❣️❣️❣️ LOL

Breaks in. Breaks out.

Awesome test; but hurts a little to see a sweet innocent motor destructed.😅

Thank you very much for the positive comment!

I the same. I've been adding Lucas to every oil change for the past 25 years in every engine that I have owned. In two stroke to big blocks and and all the other motors in between. In 25 yrs, Lucas has never let me down.

As have I, when I did the valve cover gasket on my Toyota 1.6 their was absolutely ZERO sludge, the metal was this beautiful gold color uniformly... I wish I could post pictures to KZfaq comments...

Mike Bland hay mower, lawn mower, tractors, trucks, everything gets Lucas added with every oil change. We had a old hay mower that was clanking away sounded like it was about to come apart tried new oil tried other additives and nothing worked until we put some Lucas in it and after about a few minutes running it smoothed out and hummed like a butterfly.

I once bought a Sable with 170k on it. Had a slight tap, added Lucas, ran smooth after. I hardly ever changed the oil always thinking it was gonna die soon. Well I sold it for a few hundred with 270k on it cause the axel was shot. Guy is still driving it daily...Love Lucas!!!

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!

Great comment thanks for sharing :) much curious

But no little bunnies were harmed! Yeah! Yeah!

Thank you for this recommendation!

Melanie O'Brien Excellent!

YES PROJECT FARM GUY MAN ROYAL PURPLE VS MOBIL 1 VS AMSOIL

To me it is more like Mobil1 vs Castrol and Royal Purple vs Amsoil. Mobil1 and Castrol are pretty similar in price and they do similarly for my needs in their synthetic form. Then, Royal Purple and Amsoil in a versus test because of their similar price points and similar claims.

FR NOW DONT GO DAMN TELLN ME HOW TO SPELL I AINT LIKE YOU I WAS RAISED IN THE COUNTRY AND YEAH I DO BELIEVE ONE COULD BE SUPERIOR OVER THE OTHER WE AINT DUN BEEN IN THEIR HEAR OIL FACTORYS AND AINT SEEN THEIR DAMN EQUIPMENT AND THEIR WORKERS AND HOW DEDICATED AND HOW CLEAN THEIR MANUFACTURING FACILITYS ARE MANUFACTURING OIL AND CARPARTS REQUIRES HIGH LEVELS OF CRAFTSMANSHIP AND DEDICATION OTHERWISE U BUYN STRAIGHT JUNK

Thank you very much!

Thanks for watching!

What do you think this guy is made of engines?

Its in another video. It ran 16 minutes without regular oil

Its in his videos

That aint what this is about

that one's still running three years later...lol

Thanks so much!

Are you the real Chris griffin

Thanks!

Nope. Use it

Thank you very much for the positive comment!

Yeah, same here. I scroll through my notifications and When i see Project Farm, Happy Days!! These are the kind of vids i enjoy watching.

Thanks so much!

I proactively mention this channel

@@justtime6736 this is the only channel I mention

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks, will do!

@@ProjectFarm Your prep is amazing because prior to your comparisons you pretty much have to uniquely build the setups for testing. We don’t see that part and I sure they must take alot of time.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o56KfrB0y6fZlWg.html kinda gives a control. Not sure if he changed the base oil in this one from what he used before. If so it would invalidate a comparison. I do have to agree the sample size is small especially since no two engines will be perfectly identical but if there is a large gap like say twice the time in the test I linked it does say something.

Plus believe it or not the bearing and sleeves could be of different quality, which would make a difference. Really no way to test these products.

I was thinking the exact same thing... What a waste of two perfectly good engines!!!

It seems a bit weird to test a product by seeing how it performs after you have drained it out.

Agreed. Engines are not designed to be run without oil. You are basically running such a small sample size it is statistcally neglagible also performance withou oil does not equate to performance with oil. You could put shit in one and a turd in the other.

Richard Fulmer That's not the point, dip shit.

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.

You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you!

I agree, other wise I would never reply to the video.

Rock and Roll, nice video ! I prefer Olive Oil on everything. Time to cook...

Thank you for this recommendation!

WHATS YOURSOC 1969 J-3000 with the Gladiator Buick 350 and Th-400 Trans 4x4 😎

Project Farm yes do the vegetable oil vs normal oil 👍👍👍🙏

Yeh I need to see that

Olive Oil would be healthier. lol

Good thing you gave us your credentials to tell us what your dad used.

My Dad used Marvel Mystery Oil also. I have also used it for years. When I was a kid my Dad bought a 1967 Simplicity Landlord riding mower. I still use it to cut the grass, and put Marvel Mystery oil in the gas and recently started adding Lucas to the oil crank case. Original engine 55 years old. I add Marvel Mystery Oil to the high octane gas of all my small engines. And they seem to last longer. If you could do some test with combination of additives vs plain oil that would be awesome.

Thanks so much!

Great point. All viewers deserve a thumbs up! Thanks for commenting!

Thank you for this recommendation!

thank you for the great videos! I have always run castor bean oil mixed at 32 to 1 in my ATV but I have wondered about the synthetics such as Amsoil Dominator that say to run them at 50 to 1 or even 100 to 1. would be interesting to see an honest side by side comparison.

Thanks!

Thank you for the video idea!

This is an excellent observation. Thanks for commenting.

this is why if you touch a fat person their skin usually feels cool but skinny people feel hot

Exactly, the higher temperature he recorded was at the heatsink which means it was removing more heat from the internals

Mark Brand, I wish we had something other than a thumbs up, that deserves a laughing emoji... :)

Also as the engine gets warmer your motor oil performs better as long as it doesn't go above 220 degrees. Second thing to note is that as the oil gets warmer your oil pressure gets higher.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks and you are welcome!

Thank you!

i bought two of these engines for my sons gokart. while we played on it with one engine i tore down the other removed the govenor, aftermarket carb 18lb valve springs, billet rod, billet cam, billet crank, and ajr drag clutch, oh and i polished and ported the head. after gearing it would spin the tires with my 240lbs on it on dry pavement! 4 months later the kart got stolen.....:(

Zander Xymox shhhhh. It didn’t happen. Just tell yourself that. I do when watch fast and furious movies and they destroy all those cars or even the cars they had to use for crash testing before that model went into production lol. Corny I know but it is what it is sadly

They were Chinese engines anyway

I guess you wouldn't like crash tests on brand new cars then😂

thats exactly what I was thinking

He did that in an earlier video, see here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o56KfrB0y6fZlWg.html

Every youtube video forgets the control group and its so annoying

Jamie Montoya what I was thinking to. Would have gave a good comparison to others and maybe shown a drastic difference

Technically, he should run hundreds of engines to death to account for manufacturing inconsistencies.

Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you! Thanks for the suggestion.

@@ProjectFarm I have a test to report. My friend cococted his own oil additive product trial on my slant 6 Dodge van in the early eighties. We drained all the oil out and ran it on his brand of STP-like emulsion. We drove for a long time and then emptied that stuff and turned the key and it still ran with zero in the crankcase for at least another couple of miles. That sold me on additives and later when I bought a clapped out, sand in the oil car for a few hundred and drove it a hundred miles home I tried Bardahl in it to get me the miles home. It was a Dodge Shadow with a typical 4 cylinder and overheated after starting almost immediately (bcuz oil pump completely wiped out) so adding additive taught me the engine temp did not climb. I emptied all the oil per our trial years before and ran straight Bardahl to the top of the dipstick mark- for an added 2 years before I jumped in one winter morning at zero degrees and forgot to idle her to a warm temp before driving. The engine seized in about ten minutes. I have run (and still do in beaters I buy) straight STP and try to beat the crap out of them to kill them and can't- or can't as long as I warm the engines before driving, that is. In winter the additives are about as viscous as Pooh Bear's favorite honey!

I agree, we needed to see a 'control' engine along side the test engines. Great video.

@@dubblyewjay1133 slant six moter hard to kill anyway thats why old new york city taxis had the slant six

@@lindarock4128 - If you're talking about Checkers, they use GM engines.

A control element more like with oil and no additive and then drain it and run it with no oil after. To see if the additives made a difference or not

I agree. I have seen this channel do a test with unadulterated oil in other vids & the plain oil seizes in significantly less time.

Thinking the same thing

Yes, I would like to see part 2/addendum video testing a conventional and a synthetic oil.

Agreed 👍

Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you!

All great points regarding the lubricity tester. I've since standarized the process by using 1500 grit before every bearing test. Thanks again.

I'll make sure to watch every one of them :-)
