An excellent overview and analysis of oil characteristics after 3K. You suggested the Penz ultra platinum several months ago; and my results were identical to your observations. From the moment the 2105 Tacoma, 2.7 liter was started, the engine sounded noticeably quieter with the P U P. Shortly thereafter I began to use premium gasoline only. The truck increased its gas mileage from 21.3 to 26.1 mpg with 144K on the clock, an amazing 18.4 % increase in fuel economy. Thank you so much for sharing these important parameters with us.

I used to have an occasional light timing chain rattle on startup. Since I’ve had the Amsoil SS and Amsoil filter on it’s gone away. It’s been about a week now with no noise whatsoever. MPGs seems to have gone up a little bit as well so I’ve been very happy with it.

That Mobil 1 is 5w-20. I bet it was 8.9 new and sheared down 7.53 in 3,000 miles. That's why it was louder than the other oils. I'm just guessing though. Thanks for sharing!

[@williamC8227]

I've heard red line was a really good oil I haven't tried it but I think I should after seeing your analysis. For the past 2 years my personal favorite oil I've been using has been royal purple high performance Street or HPS for short. It's supposed to be comparable to Red Line as far as the type of additives they use. I believe when I looked at the oil analysis a while back on the Royal Purple HPS had like 1,200 ppm phosphorus and I believe around 1,150 ppm zinc. It also had quite a bit of Molly and I believe the calcium was around 1,100 ppm. I've noticed more performance oriented motor oils that are not licensed and regulated by the API typically have a much stronger and better additive package. If you notice pretty much all the oils you have listed except red line the zinc and phosphorus was around 6 to 700 parts per million that's because oils that are licensed under the API are strictly regulated on what type of additives and how much they can put in the oil because the EPA claims if your engine Burns oil the zinc and phosphorus will turn to Ash and clog your catalytic converters but personally I have never seen proof this is just what they claim. Ideally if you want the best out of a good motor oil you want to look for the more high performance oriented oils that are not regulated by the API just make sure it's under a reputable brand. And if your vehicle is still under manufacturer warranty you might want to go ahead and stick with oils that are licensed under the API just so you don't void your warranty.

The Car Care Nut has a video called Please Never Do This to your Toyota. About how 10 thousand miles for oil ruins an engine, likely even with the best oil possible. The piston rings get clogged.

[@FordBossMe]

Yep I know, all of the techs like us on here that are worth a darn are all on the same page 5k max is key

[@dbarr8261]

In order to get a better picture is to do 2 oil changes before changing brands. The reason I say that is because a good quality oil will actually clean up the engine and start getting better improvements over time. Those viscosity numbers show if the oil deflects and prevents sludge. Amsoil is very good at keeping the same viscosity pretty much the same throughout its time in engine.

[@FordBossMe]

Oil unless complete group 4 or better will not clean

[@dbarr8261]

@FordBossMe Yes and the detergent package that Amsoil uses is designed to trap the dirty particle and suspend them to be captured by the filter. The main reason I use Amsoil is because of the way they test and design their oils. Their chemist use the best of what is available and they test over and over to find out the best amounts of the additive package. I am impressed with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. I just recently started seeing more on Valvoline. I am not a fan of Mobile1 at all.

I like the Zinc and the Boron. Seems to be the best combo for the TC. Something about the zinc in panthers. Moly is good, but I guess if you focus on others and just somehow make a really good combo of addictives for the oil, it works out. I have found Royal Purple to be the best I’ve tried because of you. I personally didn’t like the noise level of the Rotella. But I got the oil for $15 for 6 quarts. I must have found a cheat code at the auto zone. I’d like to try the Red Line, but for the price… Can’t wait to see the LiquidMoly oil!

Hey Rich! I hope all is well. Question about some of the results. If I remember correctly in the video that you used Ams Signature series you were using 5w-20 or 10w-30 given those were the bottles you presented. I didn't think that Ams XL would beat Ams SS at the same viscosity. Also during the royal purple run you had run a flush before throwing Royal Purple in. Yes Royal Purple is pretty good but I suspect that the longer smoothness may have been due to the flush. I wouldn't mind if the flush was fine before each oil change just wanted to state my concerns.

If you read your owner's manual it says you can use 5W20 or 5W30 I would be using 5W30

Is motor craft synthetic blend good i was thinking of using Pennzoil on it with motor craft filter.

[@kendavis1198]

So Rich, Have you ever Thought to try the Liqui Moly Molygen New Gen GREEN oil??? Curious if this stuff is a Good or a GREAT Oil? 5/20/30

[@FordBossMe]

I just posted in the community Channel that I got the top Tech formula which is supposed to be the best liquid Molly

[@seanmclaughlin7415]

You have to run the tests on these oils to see which perform better. Like the bearing test, the noack volatility, pour test, etc.

[@FordBossMe]

No those tests only do so much I prefer real life tests that show much more

[@seanmclaughlin7415]

@@FordBossMe That is true. You are doing real life testing. Without including money, what would be your #1 for a 2.7 Ecoboost engine? I like the results of the Purple, but one of the additives was low if I remember correctly.

I change my oil every 3000 miles and I use great oil and I don’t care and my vehicles never break down

[@frasiec]

I think you did some good advertising for pennzoil. I had some in my cart but pulled it because I could get the amsoil xl for about the same. lol. I never tried amsoil, so what the heck. I also got some oe cause it was cheap. I can add additive But if xl is better than ss, maybe the cheap oe is best? lol

[@jeffreyzabawski4862]

I typically use Pennzoil Platinum, but recently I had 6 Quarts leftover of Amsoil OE that I had purchased for my EX Girlfriend. So I figured I would just give it a shot since I had, and it made my Engine so loud it was cringe worthy. And you know how a car sounds when you turn the key while a Engine is already on, that's how all of my dry starts were sounding now. So within a few hundred miles I took that stuff out and put the Penn Platinum back in. Even for about a week after putting the pennzoil back in, I was getting those cringe worthy dry starts, but just every now and then,, and now it's been months since that has happened.

[@FordBossMe]

The Pennzoil full synthetic is better than the Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic

[@jeffreyzabawski4862]

@@FordBossMe I hear ya, I guess everyone just sticks with what works but I'm willing to try if I hear enough good things. On the bottle it says that Full Synthetic is formulated for Turbo Charge Engines, so I've just shyed away.

why is this video only 360p?

Believe it or not I find the best price on Pennzoil Platinum Ultra at Home Depot for about 24.00 5qt jug

[@ChrisWilliams-nu1sf]

I checked Home Depot and only found Platinum, not Ultra Platinum. Share a link of the Ultra if you can find it.

[@jeffreyzabawski4862]

That is good, Walmart has always been $25 even just for the Platinum. But last time I purchased it, it was up to $27. Which is frustrating since Pennzoil had a profit margin of over 1 billion in 2021.

[@jeffreyzabawski4862]

@@ChrisWilliams-nu1sf he probably meant the Platinum, it's a common mistake.

[@MajorWeakness]

@@jeffreyzabawski4862 yes you are correct my mistake

[@OscyJack-]

Good deal. I just spent $110 on my amsoil change haha

[@coldjello8436]

I keep coming to the same conclusion. It's better to spend the money on more frequent oil changes than on the oil.

[@FordBossMe]

Absolutely

[@arxigos365]

Hi Rich thanks for your video. Hard to find any 0w-30 for my 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio with lower calcium and with some magnesium, all 0w-30 I’ve seen are with high calcium and almost nothing magnesium, im running Amsoil 0w-30 SS and I’m thinking to switch in 5w-30 Pennzoil U.P next oil change.

[@FordBossMe]

Well after doing more research I have found the calcium isn't as bad as some research shows

[@jimn.9990]

Maybe try Amsoil 0W-30 European Oil designed to protect your sensitive emissions systems in your Italian made car with optimal blend of SAPS (sulfated ash, phosphorus, sulfur).

[@arxigos365]

@@jimn.9990 Thanks for the reply, European formula is even worse, there is no Moly on it and all the rest are about the same Calcium in the Sky over 3000 and no magnesium. The only 0w-30 I’ve seen in results that is balanced like almost all 5w-30 with calcium around 1300 and magnesium around 500 is the Mopar 0w-30 Alfa Romeo recommends but I have big suspect the oil on it is Pennzoil or Shell 5w-30. I’ll try next oil change 5w-30 Amsoil XL.

[@joebologna3490]

Just curious, what about Liquid Molly?

[@FordBossMe]

Somebody's already said something about this in the comment checking and I already responded to it I posted the top Tech liquid Molly that I'm going to be trying out here soon in the community chat
