Same here

I'll include Amsoil if there's enough interest in this review. Thank you

​@@ProjectFarm if you can, also include Valvoline maxlife ATF! Performs well in independent bobistheoilguy tests.

I’d also like to see royal purple atf get tested…I’ve always wondered if it was any good.

​@@ProjectFarm I really wanted to see Valvoline maxlife synthetic as well

Man I have randomly recommended this channel to sooooooooo many people lol And NO other channel

Definitely agree on not accepting sponsors. It definitely creates a bias overtime whether someone wants to have one or not when sponsored.

I could not say better! ❤

​@Vultain Disagree. People who have bias is what makes bias plenty of people out there with integrity not to bias the results no matter where the supplies come from. Maybe not you, but plenty of people.

Thanks!

Thanks and you are welcome!

lol. You are right! The shop smells awful after these tests for at least a week and sometimes longer.

For a while there I wasn't able to smell trans fluid without gagging lol Drowned mine in mud and had to do 5 tranny flushes to get most of the mud out 😅

Breathe in deep boys. That's the smell of climate change.

@@ProjectFarm Ozone machine ought to clear out persistent smells fairly well, just air out well before going back in after treatment.

@@ProjectFarm if you cannot install a fume hood, consider a portable blower and light canvas hose to suck up fumes and get them outside. The Coppus (brand) blower fan setup were popular with welders on nuclear construction sights to pull away welding smoke and fumes. A test of welding fume suckers might be a good video idea too.

Thanks!

Ditto!

Me too.

i checked. my freezer won't go down to minus 40deg. Not many so called 'testers' do, either

I agree. Project Farm is the gold standard in integrity and the scientific method. Very impressive! Thank you for your service.

Thanks, will do!

Best quote! Especially the “better way to make a livin” part. Indeed - and though the money may not flood in as fast, ain’t no way on earth any other channel doin these same tests but also doing sponsor spots, would EVER grow as fast as this channel has rocketed off. This man even crossed YT’spheres and collabed with LTT lol the respect this channel has is nearly unmatched and stretches FAR and wide. He doesn’t know it, but (don’t ask me how lol) he even helped me uncover my autism, at the age of 43 lol. No BS whatsoever After all, Google sucks ass now, and a lot of people would like to get their lawnmower blades sharp ;)

Google owns you tube.

You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.,

I would love to see ravenol in the mix too!!!

I’d be curious about Valvoline Maxlife. Thanks for the results.

Mobil also makes a full synthetic ATF.

Valvoline MaxLife ATF Multi-Vehicle. Castrol Transmax ATF/CVT. Both dexron 6 compatible

Thank you very much!

Well said. I second this!

You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.

To be fair, they all performed as they should have; if your transmission was running at those temperatures for that long, it's cooked anyway lol

If you want even better, getcha some amsoil. Hands down the best fluid I've ran

If you have too many miles on the same fluid you should probably not replace the fluid. It car run worse. I think cvts are the only exception to this rule

@Mid2stars never flush a transmission. Instead always drop and refill with new. Also don't put dex 6 in a dex 3 trans. The 3 is heavier for a reason. Also amsoil is pretty much the only 100 percent synthetic. Full synthetic just means there's some in there.

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks and you are welcome!

Thanks so much!

Not only that, much respect for the meticulous testing methods. I am impressed by the re-polishing of the friction wheel after each test to assure testing uniformity. This channel is truly one of the best.

@@ProjectFarm OT? I have become super interested in methods to unstick rings in low compression cylinders without major disassembly. It's looking to me like many engines thought to be worn out due to low ring compression and oil consumption actually have their rings stuck to the pistons by carbon and varnish, chemical solvents such as fuel detergents might be able to dissolve this glue, free rings, improve compression and reduce oil burning all without expensive gasket sets and other overhaul related costs; plus there may be other methods and/or substances that can free rings without major disassembly. Can you help experiment with such methods? Do you have any low compression cylinders that might have stuck rings? on which to experiment? So far, the most effective method I have found on KZfaq is soaking the combustion chamber in SeaFoam. Easiest on upright engines, One fills the cylinder with SeaFoam through the spark (or glow) plug hole for at least 3 days, replacing it if it leaks down. Then, with spark or glow plug still removed, crank the engine to prevent hydro lock. Then replace plug and start the engine for a few minutes. Then change detergent laced oil. Then run longer and test for improvement. But might better methods remain undiscovered? Might antifreeze dissolve this ring glue? or acetone? or heat cycles? or something else? Might certain fuel additives, oils or oil additives dissolve ring glue while running without sidelining the engine for 3 days? My friend's Subaru may have stuck rings. How do we soak boxer engines and how do we tell which exhaust valve is open on post distributor engines? How far can you tilt a Subaru without problems?

@@ProjectFarm OT? I'm also very interested in the potential of retorquing head bolts to prevent head gasket failure in old engines, even high mile engines with torque to yield head bolts? How would we modify the new specs for retorquing? what if bolt replacement is difficult as in Subarus? use specs from old Subarus? what can small engines tell us? Do bolt positions advance when retorqued on old mower engines? on junk car engines? can retorquing save leaking head gaskets if caught early?

​@@ProjectFarm​​@ProjectFarmp lease , do bathtubs different paint test and best & worst. With which one handles water

And I’ve even seen mechanics using Maxlife in Toyota cars because it supposedly meets or exceeds Toyota requirements.

I put Valvoline max life multi-vehicle ATF into 2005 Volkswagen TDIs, as well as a 2009 Hyundai sonata 2.4 L. ALL vehicles had subsequent issues with torque converter slip. The Hyundai sonata has since so far been saved without any mechanical work by adding an anti-slip agent into the fluid. One Passat lost 5th gear completely because the torque converter clutch won't lock up anymore, and the other Passat I'm not driving and will probably replace of the manual transmission because I think it will have the same fate as the first. The Passat that completely lost fifth gear had 170K on it, the sonata had 200K, and the latest Passat that is still working but has active slip code and shutter has 160k. Just my two cents. I do think the Valvoline max life has a lower viscosity than a lot of ATF out there, and it might be more "slippery".

My fleet used Valvoline Maxlife atf for a while. It was excellent, but we switched to STP and then to Sinopec because of cost. My mom's Audi shifts great with maxlife in it, it had 130k miles on the original audi fluid, it was jet black.

Thanks ! Thanks for the suggestions.

B&M and Royal Purple too👍

I want to also see Amsoil, RP, and especially BG transmission fluid tested, i think that would be a very popular showdown

@@ProjectFarm Came here to say the same thing, I'd like to add STP and the O'reilly store brand to the list too. Thanks!

@Bumblebee4788 royal purple is made with ExxonMobil base oil in porter Texas they just add color and a different additive from the Baytown refinery to porter texas about 20 miles up 59 north it's all a scam they're all made with ExxonMobil base oil.

Thanks!

👍👍👍👆👆👆

I'll do it! Great suggestion!

I'm cheap enough to not want to buy a new trans or diff so I spend a few bucks more on the Honda and independent Honda techs tell me they could make more money by not using factory fluids but see such good results. I always think about Project Farm when I hear these claims!

@@flowerpt I’m still looking for a Honda Acura type 2.0 ATF substitute. I believe for the other type 3.0 and DWF the major brands like Valvoline and Castrol work fine. Lots of ZF guys like Valvoline Maxlife.

The thing is, those auto manufacturers tend to make oil optimized to their engine materials. For example: Turbo'd or aluminum head blocks vs steel. Cars vs trucks vs diesels, etc... so a direct comparison may not be as legitimate as you would like it to be.

Thanks for the constructive feedback.

Sounds too incredible, boron is one of the very hardest minerals and has no detergent properties, its close to diamond, which is why its used as an ABRASIVE material, you dont add such super hard abrasive materials as an agent, youll be better of adding sand in the oil, its softer and less abrasive than boron. Whoever said boron is good for the engine/gearbox must be laughing his A off over all the people who believed his joke.

For sale: Boron powder oil additive, guaranteed to grind your gearbox to a halt.

@@pflaffik no. Boron is actually used as an anti wear additive. Also boron is NOT a mineral. Its an element. There are minerals made from different boron structures and compositions. Now back to the anti wear argument. Just because boron is used to make a hard material doesn't mean that it can't be made into anything else. Just like diamond and graphite. These 2 materials are IDENTICAL in chemical composition, they are all made from carbon, but the atom lattice is TOTALLY different, giving these 2 materials totally different properties. Graphite for example is extensively used in greases and oils, while diamonds are used in very hard cutting tools. Both are made from carbon but their properties are vastly different

Ouch, grandma surgery got burned! They know better than chemical engineers 😂

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.

IMO redline is better than Amsoil. They’re ester based oils are superior.

​@@evansbj91 we'll have to test that

Thats what i used in my wifes Porsche Cayenne. Its been the only non OEM fluid I have used in her and i was very nervous. 50k miles later it shifts great still. I do hate the way you have to fill the case. It has no way to check the level. You have to fill it from underneath, get the transmission up to temp and let it flow out the fill hole till it turns into a dribble. It was a mess and next to impossible to know if you have the correct amount in her. As the transmission warms up more fluid wants to flow out. Is the vehicle at perfect level? Did you way overflow it when it was cold? Basically I measured the amount that I drained out and compared to the amount I put in. I put in about a half quart more then I drained.. must have been close enough.

@@Solders18 “we’re GONNA test that”

I did the exact same thing the other day. I stumbled on it looking for info on something and there he was on Google and it was many years old. It's nice to have a medium to be able to see how rewarding it can be when you work hard and stay persistent. It's a true testament of (honest) capitalism and life in general.

You know, repeating tests is a GREAT idea. These manufacturers change formulations fairly often.

It is Phillips 66. I'm a Petroleum Engineer that blends oils, mostly for OEM labeling but also retail sales.

@@GT-mn3bx redline is Phillips 66?

@@nordicbeast Yes. Redline buys all their base stock etc and blends it. Look at their MSDS sheets.

Thanks and you are welcome!

Thanks! Thanks for sharing.

In addition to the Valvoline MaxLife ATF, can you test the Havoline Full synthetic Multivehicle ATF (Chevron Product)? I buy drums of both for my shop, whatever's cheaper at that time...as do I think most shop owners, I'm intrigued to see those results. Love your vids, as always great job!

and it's just technically incorrect. They say that not just to have you buy their brand name, it's just to be safe you're using the correct one. A lot of these oils are multiple labels slapped on the same exact product. In fact, there are shared products between Motorcraft which is Ford and AC Delco for GM. More than a few, I've come to find out.

I don’t think most car manufactures make their own oils, they will contract out one of the larger oil manufacturers to make it and slap a different label on it. O

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.

@@White000Crow you're right, and not all car makers have their own label for oils. Acura has their own brand that we make, it's the same as Honda and our shared brands too.

Wait…. WHAT?? Petroleum in a “zero emissions vehicle”… man that doesn’t bode well for the virtue signaling

Electric cars don't have transmissions. I think they operate on an 'electric-wind' rubber band. The originator, Gomer Tesla, said the idea came to him when he was struck by lightning while playing golf. The only fluid in the Tesla is the liquid nitrogen in the a/c.

@@nordicpride9708 yes! Believe it or not some dinosaurs are still needed for EV's lol

​@@MrTruckerf Incorrect. Teslas even have an external spin-on transmission fluid filter that looks like an oil filter. You also forgot the brake fluid and coolant as well.

@@MrTruckerf I hope ur joking, but if not that's incorrect. EV's have front and rear gearboxes, differentials, cv axles that contain grease, and also have coolant that cools Chargers, inverters and electric motor stators and rotors.

@@ProjectFarm- especially if DOT 5.1 is backward compatible with DOT3 brake systems.

@@davidturk6170 It is :) DOT 5 is the only oddball here. But it would be interesting to see the differences in actual boiling point, hygroscopic degradation etc.

I agree, I'd like to see a brake fluid test! I personally run Motul 660 and am convinced it's the best. The before and after performance it gives you is crazy. Probably one of the most expensive though but I learned why

That would be a great test. I had been overpaying for Motul RBF 600, but on a whim I downgraded to Pennzoil Dot 4 synthetic and demonstrated to myself that the cheaper fluid was just as good for everyday use, including the occasional 1 off panic stop, as the Motul without any noticeable loss of linearity. Extremely linear braking performance with the pennzoil from what I remember. Of course none of that involved boiling the fluid to its limits.... Semi metallic brake pads vs ceramic brake vs super-economy pads also would be very good to somehow demonstrate (on a bench test). Yeah, the semi metallic are going to have marginal to noticeably-better braking performance, but at what cost to all the hardware and dusting? Might be a messy test though.
