@@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 KZread 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?

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".

Always had positive results with redline oils in everything I’ve used it in. For example their heavyweight shockproof oil did wonders in stock mitsubishi evo t-cases behind non-stock, big turbo engines. They went from not surviving to surviving a pretty long life.

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.

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

"There's a better way to make a living while maintaining integrity." Very well said, incredible work, dedication, and valuable information as always!

The Ester + PAO Base of the Redline is really showing the benefits here. D4 is superb as Power Steering fluid (as Dex III analog), too.

Great test, thanks. I’ve used Redline in a manual transmission which had some issues and the results for me were absolutely excellent- I couldn’t be any happier. I know- It’s not cheap, but the results are great.

I enjoy your reviews and find useful information in the reviews. I searched but could not find a review on oil cans, the type usually with a thumb pump and a container holding around one pint of oil or even some type of cleaner. I've bought many different brands and shapes over the years but it seems if they work well at all they don't last long or even leak somewhere even when new. Thank You!

I guess if I were going to spend well over 2x on a quart of fluid, these Redline results are what I'd expect. As long as you find enjoyment in what you do, I hope you'll continue doing it!!! cheers!

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.

You'll have to come up with a device to test friction plate torque on different fluids. ATF's friction modifiers are an important aspect of transmission shift performance. Maybe one of the clutch assemblies from a transmission then put some springs in place for a constant pressure. You'd have to soak each friction element for each fluid tested then test break-away torque on each.

Yes! I'm glad you've started testing ATF as well. Looking forward to seeing Valvoline being tested, AMSOIL, etc. I'm doing a transmission flush on my fleet in the next few days and I've always wondered if the easy to grab at Walmart Valvoline is a good performer. It's very appreciated what you do for us, these tests have to be time consuming. Although, I wonder if the ATF series will produce the same number of views as the motor oils. More people change their engine's oil than they do their transmission's.

I use Redline D4 (DexIII) in my Power Steering for these same reasons as well. It really does work better in hot and cold...and it lasts longer. My PS pump is also the quietest on Redline D4.

I have bought several items you have reviewed and tested. They perform just as expected and I didn't have to build testing rigs or purchase 15 different items of the same thing. Thanks again for the great content and I see a second ATF showdown coming up. How about Valvoline MaxLife ATF in the next showdown?

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!

If you make a round 2 ATF showdown, please include Valvoline Maxlife Multi-Vehicle ATF vs Amsoil SS Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF. Thanks for the honest reviews. Best product comparison channel on KZread!

Boy my manager always swore by redline products after he said the sales representative said to touch your differential before and after using their products at the time they had some technology that made the differentials run cooler ever since he swore by their products glad to see that his advice can be backed up by evidence I’d love to a test for differential fluids maybe include a heat test of sorts to quantify what my old Manager said all those years ago. Always nice to see someone who can’t be bought!

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

@mattb9664

Жыл бұрын

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.

You are an extremely amazing individual, and I applaud your valiant efforts in testing these products for the masses~
