Test two of the most common motor oils for European cars. Mobil 1 0W-40 vs Castrol Edge 0W-40. I have always wanted to see them head to head, I have heard great things about both oils. The 0W-20 series has been a good one.

Been using Mobil 1 for a long time your test tells it was the right choice ! Thank you

[@Otto45]

I've used both brands & never had an issue with either! Provide fantastic lubrication & keep engine sludge to a minimum, although i personally always use engine oil flush after every 2 oil changes. Keeps the engine noise quiet low for some reason, lol

[@emreconklu3498]

How do I perform an engine oil flush? Thanks in advance

[@jaynikk758]

​@@emreconklu3498Buy Liqui Moly engine flush and the directions will guide you, it's very good stuff. I use Liqui Moly Long Time High Tec good for about 25k miles but I change every 4-5k miles

[@albertomorales7322]

You buy an engine flush from your preferred brand and use it with the engine in operating condition for 10/15 minutes then change the oil and filter

[@davidwedlock2622]

Engine oil flushes actually damage engines since they strip the anti wear layer that was laid down during the previous oil drain interval.

[@kamrulhassan7185]

Which engine flush do you typically use?

[@vladimir0700]

I really like that your videos are short and concise rather than droning on for tens of minutes. Just the relevant facts

[@turbovolvos40]

The hardness of bearings can be very different, I would like to see the wear test done in a different spot on the exact same bearing for each comparison. Maybe 180° offset from each other.

That would be better control of the experiment.

I agree. The volume of loss is not proportional to the mass loss measured. Same bearing, same density. Showing the pictures and then manipulate (or ignores the obvious errors) the mass loss results makes this review not credible.

[@am74343]

For all intents and purposes, the Liqui Moly and the Mobil 1 are essentially equivalent. The only real difference is that the Liqui Moly is formulated for the sulphur and ash requirements that European vehicles need. They have to pass different pollution standards, and therefore require different additives.

Always love these kind of tests. "Best" could still be subjective due to multiple variables, but at least it gives a good idea for consumers of which the top half are vs. the bottom. That said, a couple years later, think we could get a followup recap video, with a ranked list of the results? Like Pennzoil barely lost to Amsoil in rd. 1, but very well may have still performed better then much of the field? Maybe even retest the top 3 or 4 against any new comers, or new brand technologies making bold claims?

[@samgoody6109]

Maybe with the head2head done, take the "true" final 4, the four that had the best empirical data numbers regardless of which round, and take 4 bottles of each, and do 4 of each test, incl. 4 four-way pour tests, and compile averages to see which performs best consistently.

Liqui moly bad oil

[@sirjared21]

The past film strength tests for Liqui moly are as follows: .01g, .04g, .10g. So obviously this test should be disregarded given how inconsistent it is. But the efficiency test seems to be pretty reliable: 3.9, 4.0, 4.01 amps. It would be cool to see an excel sheet with these different measurements so we can see the best in each category and then can weigh the price/performance ratio.

[@comedefleurieu315]

[@treymurrell503]

Idk it looks like a mix up of which weights he said lost the weight. If I'm correct the top weight was liquid moly so it only lost .4 the bottom was Mobil 1 and it lost .7. ... Watch where he places them after the weight before the test. Moly on top, Mobil on bottom then mixed up which was which. . . I think

This shows that there are uncontrollable parameters so all test are maybe just fooling. Then it should be tested in right temp with right materials and with used oil. Does not matter if it is good as new if it gets worse just after one or a few heat ups!

Yes a difference in time and temperature change has made a difference what new testing methods can we try?

[@TheNortheastAl]

NATES INTERACTIVE AUTO I’m not sure other than trying to reproduce the same conditions for each test. There never will be a perfect test, but trying to eliminate most of the variables will help to make the test more accurate. One thing we know from this competition, is that LiquiMoly and Mobil1 are excellent oils.

[@johnstranc3270]

Why did those wear scars look the same size but end up being 10x the loss? I think something is off with your testing. What were the wear scar sizes throughout the championship of all the competitors compared? I use Mobil 1 but this is definitely off, scroll through your comments, I’m not the only one that thinks these results are not accurate. Why don’t you use calipers and measure the size of the wear scars as well?

Yes the depth of the scars plays a large part in the weight and i have used calipers in the past there is a time difference in testing for the championship also temperature change.
