[@budlight3874]

I worked at this engine lab back in the 70’s. The first rotary we had was a Wankel engine which came in a German sedan which we road tested with various oils. Through the years, they’ve tested just about every engine on the market. The engine test stands that you saw are all standardized test stands (or at least they used to be). Every oil manufacturer will have these in their facilities or have access to identical testing facilities such as those offered by Southwest Research. Each test stand represents the method required for oil certifications. The letters/certifications you see on the oil containers like ILSAC GF-6A, SN, SN Plus, SM all required successful completion of one or more of these tests. A lot of great memories of the place and the people who I worked with, most all of which are retired…

Good explanation of the importance of the oil in the rotary engine. I have built and serviced rotary engines since the 70s and always told rotary car owners how important the oil is for the rotary engine. If they did not pay attention to the engine oil(checking oil levels and oil changes) they will definitely will pay for a rebuild. I have a RX7 with 189k and still running great. Yes, always Valvoline oil.

[@stevenplaskett7728]

Flow is critical. My old 7.3 idi diesel runs at 11 psi of oil pressure when it's hot and it runs just fine cause it has massive flow keeping the engine lubricated. Over 400k on the original motor and still going. If the rod and main bearings can last over 400k on a high compression diesel with only 40psi cold and 11 ish hot I dont think pressure is as critical as the right volume.

[@oskjan1]

Yup. Thinking freely about the theoretical aspects of an oil system, absolute pressure tells you nothing unless you know what pressure the engine was designed to run at. All oil canals vs. the capacity of the oil pump gives a "design pressure". If your reading is higher then the design pressure your flow is lower than it should be, possibly because of a blockage somewhere downstream of the pump. If your pressure is too low you either have a leak downstream, a shot pump or a partial blockage at the pick up side of the pump. Pressure and flow go hand in hand. So one simply can't use "you should run xx psi oil pressure" as a blanket statement. Even changing the viscosity of the oil changes the optimal pressure too, since a thicker oil requires higher pressure for equal flow, and a thinner oil requires a lower pressure.

[@von...]

@@oskjan1 Ah so its like that explanation of electrical current using water flow vs pressure, but flipped; The 'high current' here keeps the motor alive while high current electricity kills you, and the voltage or pressure alone doesn't paint the whole picture.

[@oskjan1]

@@von... Nice observation!

[@orppranator5230]

Yes. Oil pressure is literally just a measure of the inefficiency of the geometry of the oil canals, which creates restriction to flow.

I used to use valvoline exclusively in everything until I started having issues with their oils breaking down due to high heat. Which caused low oil pressure in multiple vehicles. Made the switch to shell rotella t6 for the street vehicles, and switched to amsoil for the street bikes and offroad toys.

[@newtonfirefly3584]

You are getting the idea Matt. Your switch to Amsoil, is You best choice available. Which company knows more about synthetic oils and lubrication than the company that developed it first, and continues to develop, improve, advance. Also, realize that Amsoil only produces synthetic lubrication products. The second company which began with just one product and far inferior was Mobil Oil company with Mobil 1, in 1974. All of the other major oil companies delayed producing their synthetic oil products until the late 1980's and mostly in the 1990's. All of these companies, especially the largest like Shell, Valvoline were later than Castrol. All of these major companies still produce, distribute, and sell 'natural' oil based lubricant products, synthetics and blends. Mostly they produce synthetic engine oil products, but do not have synthetics for all lubrication. Thus, they only produce what they think they can convince the public to buy, through their marketing and with their racing sponsorship of many drivers. [though the actual race teams do not use the products of their sponsor, unless the product is the choice of the engineering staff. STP was a major sponsor, but the race teams dis not use their products. Similarly it is known, with engine oil and other lubrication products, and other. Tires [tyres] are usually supplied via the specific race event, for all to have the same. Many products have no specific sponsorship too, especially the actual mechanical parts, through to the hubs, brakes. Am not yet certain about engine control units, but mostly We see the sponsorship markings with specific racing like NPK, and other 'street drag' racing, which have more individual, private teams, not the larger, high profile racing. As, what Rob Dahm is expressing about the technical, engineering, testing, etc. of Valvoline, all of the major companies have their development and testing laboratories, and produce tables, calculations of their product performance. Note: their comparisons are for synthetic compared with standard, or blends (sometimes), but not compared with other synthetics. The basis and reasoning is simple, obvious and clear. However a company that has a superior product has actual data comparisons of their synthetic to others. Such is Amsoil. When i began looking at Amsoil, these actual comparison charts and data impressed me, along with the expertise of mechanical and material engineers who write their own detailed information about the superiority with every aspect. [Am also an high level engineer, scientist and mechanic.] Since Amsoil is sold through private distribution, they do not have a major marketing campaign, and budget nor to include sponsorship contracts. Rather, they rely upon the quality, performance and their distributors to be the main marketing, and put more of their investment into research, development, improvement, performance, durability, and quality. If You are using Amsoil in Your street bike and off-road vehicles, then clearly those applications have very high amounts of torque, rotational speed, power, stress, especially needing higher quality to handle those uses. Those applications should be proof that for Your street vehicles, You should also switch to better quality synthetic oil, lubricants. Not only will the mechanical parts of the machines of Your street vehicles perform better, with less wear, thus more durable, also the durability of the lubrication products themselves improves significantly. As, is well known, the additives in standard oil to synthetics are the most vulnerable to breakdown, modification, degradation, mostly from heat. Though Rob describes the additives as additional beneficial qualities like detergents, zinc, etc and separately the multi-grade aspect, actually the multi-grade aspect is also via specific additives, which are vulnerable to breakdown to heat, which Rob mentions. If You know about the SAE standards of measurement and labeling of oil thickness, weights and as they relate to multi-grade, then You have some important basics, without knowing the chemical, material, scientific principles. [my HS mechanics teacher gave is these basics among many other valuable basic concepts]. My first use and switch to synthetic was in my 1979 MB 280E, in early 1988, after having direct availability to a new synthetic engine oil product, at wholesale cost, and superior to Mobil 1, shown in reliable test data comparisons. That vehicle had 125k mi when i bought it in 1987 from the original owner [with all of the service records], which everything was great from its running, breaks, suspension, steering [still tight as new]. Had a full III-Z service done, Vredestien shocks replaced, brake pads [4 wh. disks],alignment, then bought P600's [at a local tire discount shop] (best vehicle have owned, which i also maintained this and all my vehicles) The cost of using synthetic engine oil, then was multiple compared with standard oils available at the large discount auto parts stores [used Castrol 20W-50 for years, since 1975, and bought a case on sale price, when advertised, usually $1/qt, which was often]. However the durability of the synthetic engine oil was at least the multiple of the cost, and improved performance, efficiency [less fuel consumption] and reduces engine wear, thus worthwhile economics, alone. The durability of synthetic oils, became so important that when Toyota developed their 'maintenance free' Corolla of 5 years, 60 k mi, they put synthetic engine oil in the factory, and used Bosch Platinum spark plugs. Similarly, when Toyota produced their sealed engines for their mini-van and the Lexus line, they used synthetic engine oil. If the additional higher quality micro-filters of Amsoil or others are used, then the longevity, performance, protection are improved more. One of the most impressive reports, which i read, available on-line, is from a proper mechanical, materials engineer, that thoroughly investigated the details of the Amsoil synthetic products, including their test data and comparisons, then began using the products because of their quality alone.He states he mostly is a user of the products, and promotes them to others, but chooses to not develop the business aspect for his reasons of not needing or desiring such, rather promotes to those he knows for their personal benefits alone. His lengthy, article, report is very valuable, worthwhile and easily accessible via a search [am nt a G', B', Y' search user, rather DDG or other private search engines] More recently have been looking at Lucas Oil and Motul Oil products, since they are relatively smaller, private, and specifically lubrication, but have not found, yet their specific performance data compared with other synthetics, and they also still produce standard oil products too, which is a significant indication about the company's commitment into synthetic lubrication products, their performance, durability, longevity, quality. Have mentioned these ideas about the actual qualities and comparisons to Rob Dahn previously and a few others on their channels who mention specific oil and lubrication products too. So, far none have commented nor seem to have any affect. Which leads me to the conclusion, their sponsorship arrangement is worthwhile financially, in their view. However, their expense, time and effort from the engine wear and loss of performance, is worthwhile paying for the better products, which they can get at wholesale with Amsoil, as a distributor, and actually sell the product for profit as a user.too. Amsoil allows distributors to sell in their shops of all types. All The Best and Much Success in Your Quest, Health and Well Being. Sincerely

[@ericschumacher5189]

One thing to consider is the delta-p’s across various orifices in the system.....a big increase in flow doesn’t necessarily mean the pressure is the same at the bearings as seen on the gauge (depending where it’s tapped).....an example being if the return to oil pan is restrictive in any way, then making it less restrictive will mean the delta-p across the bearings will increase at the same supply pressure, therefore, the pressure will need to be higher at the supply point to have the same pressure across the bearings at the new increased increased flow).....and easier way to relate this to a piston engine oiling system is to think of it like increasing the side clearance of the rods on the crankshaft, to increase flow, then think about the pressure distribution difference between the main and rod throws at the new higher flow.

Well, I can guarantee you that Valvoline definitely isn't the only company that stress-tests their oils. That is kind of misleading. Maybe they're the only ones that do it *in-house*, but the company I work at also carries out these kinds of tests for numerous brands. And we're not the only ones. Just a quick heads-up.

[@newtonfirefly3584]

Sir Paperbag; You are certainly correct about the Valvoline not the only oil company which has their own testing, development laboratories, and they all have their own, actually. The best of them is the company that developed synthetic oils and lubricants, and produces only synthetic lubrication and have added high quality micro-filters. If You know them, they still produce the Best. [Amsoil] Which other company only produces only synthetic lubrication products, and covers all types and needs? None. these major oil companies were far behind in producing synthetic engine oils, which Mobil the first of them, in 1974 with Mobil 1, a decade behind and further in quality. This is still true with all of the major producers. Castrol was among the next, with the others including Valvoline still later in the 1990's. They all still produce standard, synthetic and blends for engine oil, and some have expanded into ATF, Brake fluids, etc, but none have the level of quality, and offering of the original developer that continues to do research, development, testing, improvements, etc..They choose to put their investment into their product development, and not big marketing, advertising, sponsorship. They rely upon their quality, and distributors to promote, market and sell their highest level products. If i were living in the USA still, would certainly be using Amsoil products in every vehicle application, and be a distributor to get the at wholesale. The benefits of superior lubrication [as Rob mentions], durability, longevity, reliability, quality, performance, efficiency, etc. is worthwhile for every vehicle owner. My first use of synthetic engine oil was with a unique, new, tested Xtra synthetic in 1988, which they had actual test comparisons versus Mobil 1, the only other brand [than Amsoil, which was not yet aware of] and nationally advertised along with their many sponsorship arrangements [which those sponsored do not use, necessarily, and often do not]. If i had the more intense, higher requirements needed for racing, and which Rob Dahm has, then certainly the obvious, clear choice is to use THE Best available, not that which is very good, and has a sponsorship arrangement. It is certainly wothwhile paying for THE Best, compared with the cost, time, effort of mechanical failure, wear, durability, longevity and other issues. Certainly paying wholesale is worthwhile, and can bring him more in profits than the sponsorship arrangements with all of the companies he has. Also, note these large companies show their data comparisons with standard oil products, but not compared with other synthetic products. Thus, this is another clear indication of their marketing technique and promotion. If they have data which shows actual comparisons versus other synthetics, which are better, they would certainly show that as Amsoil and Xtra had. But none of them do. Thus, it is clear, obvious, and simple these major companies are intentionally portraying their information in the manner they do, since they do not have any actual data which shows they have any superiority or benefits over over synthetic oil products. Also, if these companies had such superior synthetic oil products, why do and would they produce standard and blend oil products too ?? Obviously, they do not have the commitment, quality nor business focus upon producing the best synthetics. Have You also noticed how much the standard oil products have increased and compared with the synthetics? During the 1980's the best of standard engine oil products were easily purchased at local discount auto parts stores for $1/qt, while the synthetics were multiple, up to four times, though still worthwhile for their durability, longevity, efficiency [reduced fuel consumption] alone. Now, have seen the cost per quart and gallon of synthetic of the same company are all much higher, but the relative price increase for synthetic engine oil is not very significant. Thus, it seems the producers have raised the pricing for all by multiples, but synthetics not nearly as much, and seemingly the standard by 6-8 times, thus gaining far more profits with their standard and blend products, such much more profitable. The price of oil itself has not had such increases nor for fuel. These companies are clearly benefiting with higher profits, and also the standards of 'oil changes' in the maintenance schedules has decreased too, which results in greater maintenance costs and more frequently too. The Xtra Synthetic engine oil which i used beginning in 1988, had a minimum 15k mi durability, which was double the standard 7500 mi from manufactures using standard oils. Toyota used synthetic engine oil in their 5 yr. 60k 'maintenance free' Corolla of 1990's, and their sealed engines of their min-van Previa, and Lexus. Many performance vehicles are shipped from the factory with synthetic oils during these years. Do You think these manufactures haven't done their extensive testing with the synthetics ? Which racing team doesn't use synthetic lubrication products, and for at least 40 years ? Sincerely

The rx7 is so cool

[@leslienordman8718]

Very good video. Thanks for educating us! Rob, you have taught us that heat is energy and that you want to capture as much heat/energy as possible to make the most power and go fast. Have you ever thought about capturing the heat energy in the oil as it comes out of the engine, to put that energy to use making you fast? Thanks!

[@reyshakz8947]

Imagine taking a shot every time Rob said "Oil" in this video lmao great video man learned quite a bit.

[@MonoPedB]

Like Jeremy/FasterProms would say: Talk nerdy to me. Been almost 30 years since I had a rotary, and I never knew how oil flowed through it.

[@ryanwreyford9039]

Rob's about to have the most instrumented rotary in existence. Mans knows how to handle some data if you know what I mean 👀

[@chuckie2880]

The Oil Lab can also see what max temperatures the oil saw. MOTUL 300V LM 20W-60 is also a great engineoil

[@giannibarneaii9656]

Great commercial for Valvoline Rob did tbh, now I wanna put Valvoline on my mustang lmao

[@SuperBrainAK]

This is an awesome video! I love Geeking out with you, boy what a privelage to go see their lab! I might just have to switch to Valvoline for my old boat (2000 Buick LeSabre) but I think it has bigger issues than cheap oil, I think gas is getting into the oil

[@drgti16v]

Mashed potatoes and gravy, Marie. I couldn't be happier about Baby Steps.

[@spdrcr1010]

I just put some VR1 in my slant 6 engine, seems to be the easiest one to find at a brick and mortar store with the extra metals for flat tappet engines

[@levilueth7778]

Very cool explanation brother

[@TheOrderOfN]

I’ve been swearing up and down by the VR one for three years now I run that shit in everything. I got a b18c swapped eg. Motor was rebuilt and hot tanked it looked like it just came out of the Honda factory it’s got about 5000 miles on it now and it still looks brand new. Shit is like engine crack I swear to God.

[@rkon1000]

The trucks in our fleet , constanlty on the road over the years we have used valvoline, but the engines did not get past 300k with routine maintnance . Since than we moved over to mobile 1 . Trucks are sitting at 500k no issues.

[@isaaco8056]

Epitro whaaat!!?? The words you are using are beyond my understanding but good rotary informative video keep em coming.

[@richleeman]

Very informative video Rob. Thanks for sharing this 👍🏻

[@RCTrend]

The engineering mindset is amazing

[@RYU47376]

i think most of the oil company doesn't have testing lab so a third party can test them and make their claims more valid

[@terriblegamer7949]

Drinking game: Take a shot every time rob says oil. Good luck

[@jeremypike9153]

From my own experience Mobil oils provide the best as far as breakdown of engine oil in extreme situations. We turned 9000-10000 rpm from our ministock engines and Mobil super at that time was the only oil that didn't come out in clean clumps of broken down oil.

[@jeremypike9153]

This also was in the time period that synthetic oils had just hit the market

[@exportedafrican]

Longest commercial I’ve ever watched That said- they help Rob and I’ll help them.

[@frankgreene4815]

Would you ever do a meet and greet in Lexington at the Valvoline World Headquarters?

[@AlanHS99]

Ayo, lemme get that Valvoline jacket in the thumbnail 👌

[@huffdesigner]

Did you notice when Rob had to have an RX-8 on the channel he bought a Indy Car! Keep up these almost daily videos!

[@sylasvanvlack]

He bought the Indy car quite awhile ago now, before Isaiah/rob bought the Rx-8. He just hadn’t announced it until the last upload..

[@huffdesigner]

@@sylasvanvlack I know he did, some of his videos show it. I was just saying that because he Hates the Rx-8

[@danstewart8218]

Rob!! I Know you think its more important to balance the Eshaft and not the rotors...However It's the Harmonic Imbalance of the rotors to the eshaft thats going to cause all the trouble even tho they only rotate at a third of the speed.

[@ixcatdaddyxi1497]

I've done scaffolding up there...! UBC #472 Ashland ky!

[@itrashpanda]

I've always loved how you like the geeky stuff cuz its all the same type of shit I like too lol its stuff you really don't always need to know but hell why not learn the weird stuff cuz in the end knowledge is power!

[@Reaper3088]

I like Rob so much that will watch a video of an oil I have zero interest in. Amsoil will be through so much research my go to

[@brendan361]

Mr. Spaghetti teaches us about the right pasta sauce to pair with Doritos…wait wrong Rob

[@Nitrocity7151]

This video really helps me understand the inner workings of rotaries and why they consume so much oil That being said I'm still hell bent on getting an FC with a rotary, I just gotta make room in the wallet

[@ValentineC137]

The consumption is more from the OMP pumping the engine oil into the combustion chamber to lubricate the apex seals, all the other functions mentioned in the video is just the normal oil life as it gets pumped around the engine, and that hopefully shouldn’t be consuming it

[@dougschack9341]

Welcome to the Bluegrass State!

[@Barton_Motors_Ltd]

Learned a lot Great video

[@BiocasmGaming]

I kinda wish rob could do this with liquimoly, they claim to have some crazy ingenious technologies that no other company offers, they are the top of the game in terms of what they “claim” to offer with their additives and oils. But that’s more a German car oil so kinda a bummer, but it would be cool so see if it can actually be proven.
