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!

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 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, will do!

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!

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 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.

You are welcome!

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! Thanks for sharing.

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😂

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 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.

Thanks so much!

Are you the real Chris griffin

Thanks and you are welcome!

Yes. Do the motorcoat

You are welcome!

Thanks and you are welcome!

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

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.

Thanks!

Thanks!

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?

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.

Good job keep it real

Thank you very much!

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 "

Thanks and you are welcome!

You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.

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

Thanks!

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

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

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

You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.

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 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!

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

I proactively mention this channel

@@justtime6736 this is the only channel I mention

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!!!

Thank you very much!

Thanks, will do! Glad you enjoyed!

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.

Thank you!

Thanks!

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

Wow, thank you!

Great feedback. Thank you!

Thanks!

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?

Breaks in. Breaks out.

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

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.

Awesome! Thank you!

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

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

Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

other videos with straight oil and oil with additives.

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 😂

Wow, thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion.

Prolong has done me amazing longevity!!

I don't use anything other than Mobil 1. The exception is Amsoil. I've run thousands of miles with Mobil 1. No additives.

Well.. STP Is Garbage, Pronounced (Garboge) and should never see the inside of an engine or fuel system.

@@briansimon1864 Please tell me your joking?? Why did you buy the snake oil when you know there are 100% Synthetic Oils like Amsoil on the market?? Sorry but you keep wasting your money on a product that is only killing your engine.

You are welcome!

Thanks!

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.

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.

You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.

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

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 and you are welcome!

Thanks!

Thanks, will do! Thanks for the video idea.

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 :-)

Thanks and you are welcome!

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

Thanks for the positive comment.

Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the video idea.

All great points. Thank you!

Yes, break in oil should be completely drained.
