How Bad Are Cheap Motor Oils? $14 vs $58

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Mobil Delvac, Rotella T6, Royal Purple, Schaeffer’s, Hot Shot’s and Amsoil. I paid an independent oil testing lab to analyze all of the motor oils, and I performed my own testing for lubricity, resistance to thermal break down, and oil flow characteristics.
I bought all of the motor oils, paid for the oil analysis, and all of the supplies used in this review. I always pay for everything out of my own pocket to ensure an unbiased review. So, THANK YOU for supporting the channel.

    And additives like borax/oxyclean/vinegar/baking soda. I don't know if it's good or not but my 6+ year old washing machine got closed over a long weekend and was nasty! I tried a bunch of different things to clean it, but the best way that I found wash it was to run it empty until the high speed spin cycle started and adding enough drain cleaner and water to sit inside the drum and let the spin cycle beat it. Went from nasty mildew sour to odorless. Before that I tried vinegar, baking soda, bleach. So I'm not sure if one of them loosened up most of the crud or not, but it really cleaned up nicely.

    Been using rotella t6 in all of my diesel trucks. 02 f350 7.3l powerstroke zf6. 246k miles. 03 ram 2500 5.9l cummins 48re 242k miles 05 f650 6.0l Eaton Fuller 5 speed. 96k miles. 07.5 ram 3500 DRW 6.7l cummins g56. 143k miles 08 f750 6.7l cummins Alison auto. 104k miles. All of them (even the 6.0) are on the original block, zero blow by, healthy compression, and have never been rebuilt. I own a tree service, so they get worked hard daily hauling wood, machinery, chips etc. Sure, other oils may be better in certain categories, but for the price, in my opinion it can't be beat. I used to have a 93 ram w350 dually on a 5 speed. I bought it with 380k on the clock. I knew the original owner. He told me he only used t6, so I kept with it. Over the next 10 years it earned another 300k miles. I sold it just shy of 700k on it. Original rings, pistons and block. It had a different head. But I was pleased to see that it needed no cylinder work when I pulled the head to replace it. T6 has proven itself to me. I'll probably never use anything different. Especially when the better performers are 2x more expensive. I do use the hot shots secret diamond g56 oil in my 07.5 6 speed ram dually. Fantastic stuff. Excellent review and video as always, Todd. Thank you for all you do.

    Rotella's price to performance ratio is why it's so common in fleet applications. It's not the best, but it keeps costs low in an environment with controlled service intervals. Consistent, regular oil changes are more beneficial than any additive package that exceeds OEM requirements!

We were a Schaffer oil distributor for 70 years. That was the oil we used in all our trucks. I watched a teardown of a Detroit 60 after 1 million miles. Very impressive results.

    The Shell Rotella T6 has been a common oil used in the motorcycle racing community for decades. Sportbikes (Except for some Ducati's) have a wet clutch. The transmission and engine are within the same cases and share the same oil. Motorcycle specific oil can be VERY expensive so some of us started using T6 around the year 2000. As your tests show, it contains 0 Molybdenum. Thats what makes it safe for a wet clutch. Racers also change the oil often. Usually every weekend if not more so the cost savings can be significant. My own experience is over 25,000 miles each on two Yamaha R1's with no engine, transmission, or clutch issues.

I don't know if it's all in my head but the transmission seems to like T4 better than T6 even though I want it to like the synthetic better. I tried Delvac 5w40 full synthetic 20 years ago and it hated it. 55K miles now on the original clutch so I love Rotella.

    I packed Schaeffers aerosol products back in the 1980-1990's. The head chemist was Mike Ryterski. Guy was a genius. So many different products, all top notice and a hometown company. He always put the good stuff in his products. Their compressor oil dropped our rotary screw temp by 20'F. Most unusual product was a zinc bearing goo used on huge dredging machines. 1 can to a wheel. Offset wheel device would run on a rail track, pick the whole machine up and move it 8 to 10 feet. Extreme Pressure!

    I bought a Kubota used and did a full fluids and filter change about a month ago. I put Rotella T6 10W40 in it after a little bit of some searching since this is the first diesel engine I've owned. So far, I'm very happy with it and it was a huge improvement from whatever it was changed with last. The engine is smoother and sounds much better. I always trust your reviews and I totally agree with what you said about it covering it all! I'm especially happy with the cold weather results of the Rotella since I use my tractor a lot in the cold WI winter! As always, thanks for taking the time to do these reviews, I look forward to watching them every Sunday night!

    I live in the very moderate UK, drive low-performance cars and don't usually drive them hard. I use cheap oil and never change it (after buying the car - used - because I don't know what was in there). I do change the oil filter frequently, though. I have never had a problem attributable to oil troubles, but who knows what other cars and driving styles might show? PF's tests do indicate that even the cheap oils provide decent baseline performance, anyway.

    Thank you for this video, I was hoping you would do a comparison like this years ago! I had a 2018 RAM 5500, and put about 365,000 miles on it before I switched to a 2022 Kenworth. I tried the Shell Rotella T6, Schaeffers, Amsoil 6x Signature, and the Hot Shot Secret Blue Diamond oils. I send an oil sample to Blackstone every oil change. The Hot Shot Secret performs the best out of the oils I have tried in your test comparison. I figured all of this out with the RAM, I broke in the Kenworth with the Shell Rotella T6, while doing short oil change intervals during the first few thousand miles. Then I switched over to Hot Shot Secret after about 15,000 miles. Hot Shot Secret isn’t cheap, but the data from Blackstone shows it performs the best overall. Since my livelihood depends on my truck, I only want the best oil in my truck! I’m not surprised that Hot Shot Secret flows the best in cold temperatures, as both the RAM and Kenworth start right up and run smooth in below zero temperatures using that oil! Thank you again for this comparison, so many people will find this information very valuable!!!

    Good to see none of these products were outright failures; the Mobil might leave something to be desired but would probably perform just fine in normal duty operations. Rotella looks like my all-around choice (it already was my recommendation before), while Amsoil seems the best for extreme duty/high heat environments.

    I ran Royal Purple for 600k miles in a 2017 6.7L Ram and was VERY pleased. I got 400k out of injectors that were still working but running a bit rough. The HUGE benefit was when I opened for the injector change there was ZERO carbon and sludge. The 2 old school mechanics there were amazed at how clean that motor was. Also to note was that my oil pressure was virtually the same as the day it started. After trading that one in for a 2023 I continued with Royal Purple. I do not mess around and when its time to change I do it. Also relied on Wix XP filters too. There was an Engine Masters show that tested a lot of the filters and the Wix XP came out on top there. I rarely run over a few hundred miles after the change light comes on. If you want your motor to last MAINTAIN IT!

    I hope you'll include Harvest King in your next motor oil test. It's a relatively inexpensive brand carried by many Farm & Home stores. Their chainsaw bar oil placed first in your testing despite its low price, but I've seen very little about how their motor oils compare to more expensive brands.

    Glad you chose this topic, I put Shell rotella in a jeep w/a amc 258ci, straight six. It is a gas engine but with super long stroke like a diesel. It normally calls for 10/40, so I hope it was a good choice

    Shell rotella is one of the best. All of my old tractors, trucks and equipment get rotella 15-40. It’s affordable and works great. Rotella t4 also has all the additives necessary for older engines.

    I bought a pail of T6 after it tested well in previous videos. It’s readily available and inexpensive where I live. I also live where it routinely gets to -40. At the price, it’s easy to increase the oil replacement schedule to keep the oil at its best.

    I've been doing the same thing in my '98 grand Cherokee 4.0 for 8 years. I live in the North East, so we get temperature ranges from single digits, to over 100 degrees. Run it all year round. The old Mercedes straight six gas engine's, called for 15-40 from the factory.

    I do the same with my '86 AMC Eagle with the 258ci as well as my '87 F-150 351w. Pretty much anything older with flat tappet cams have to have the extra additives.

    FINE test, Commander but I never had any dealings with any of those oils. I had used Kendall, Texaco Ursa and the last was Delo at the trucking/quarry. The trucks were running Mack and Cummins engines but the quarry had Mack, Cat, Cummins, Detroit with 2 and 4-cycles and Hatts and Deuts air cooled and probably some I forgot. They got a new 980G Cat loader in 02 or 03 and ran Delo in everything but I ended up running that loader every day stacking stone stockpiles and cleaning out silt ponds. The ONLY thing done to that machine except regular stuff like pins and bushings and repacking cylinders was ONE Valve Cover Gasket. The mechanic checked the specs when replacing the gasket. All were in tolerances so he put it back up nd I ran it till I quit when I went from full to part time. That loader had 24, yes TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND hours on it and the whole drive system had NEVER been touched. The QSK Cummins in the Kawasaki 115Z-iv had 12K when it quit but the 980 just kept going. That's why I run Delo in everythinng. Hope all you FARMERS are doing just fine and Be BLESSED GREATLY and Thanks! Happy 4th!

    Hi Lewie, It's ALWAYS great to hear from you! 24,000 hours is very impressive! I presume the oil had a healthy level of anti-wear additives in the oil that was used to achieve that number of hours. I'd love it if my Kubota could make it that many hours! I still haven't baled hay yet this year. I'm hoping for 4 dry days in a row soon. Wishing y'all a Happy 4th and many BLESSINGS!!

    @@ProjectFarm Brian Bloc in Bagdhad Ky, says that Deere and Delo are the only 2 brands with flat tappet additives. Seems like his channel is BBloc02 or somesuch. He's got a HUGE machine shop there and fixes all matters of stuff! And that loader was still going strong when I left! We've been getting our rain in spurts whenever too. We'll get 4 days straight when we can't see the house from the hay hiding it. Have a WONDERFUL week and God Bless ALL Yall!
