Or even earlier. IMO these recommended 7,500to 10,000 miles is way way too long. I do my oil changes at 3,000 to 3,500 on lightly used gas engines and 3,500 to 4,500 on lightly used diesels. Depending on the extremes I will shorten the maintenance times even more because in the long run oil and filters are cheap.

[@Panthers89Fan9000000]

@@2003evodave that's a waste of money and old school thinking. Believe it or not, oil is a technology. All oil types have vastly improved over the years, including Dino oil. This improvement along with other improvements allow us to go longer on an oil change interval. These other improvements I speak of are plenty. There's been improvement in oil filters, fuel quality (The government mandated a minimum amount of fuel additives all fuel must have), and cars themselves (computers monitor everything in a vehicle these days and metallurgy has definitely improved). With your thought process, I'm guessing you are an older gentleman. Nothing wrong with that. I just know when something has been set in your mind for so long, it is hard to change. The easiest and most factual way to change this thinking is an oil analysis. Blackstone Labs is such a company that does oil analysis. Lots of DIYers use Blackstone Labs every now and then to get a hold on how their engine is doing. Send off your oil after 3500 miles to Blackstone and they will tell you whether or not you can go longer on an oil change. I can almost guarantee you they will tell you the engine can go longer on an oil change.

I'm an avid motorcycle rider, and in our community synthetic oil can be $20 per quart. So many riders use Shell Rotella T6 from Walmart for $22 per 4 quarts because it's JASO MA rated (safe for motorcycle clutches). For the past several years, there have been so many forum wars about why you should or shouldn't use this oil vs the designer oils that cost 4x as much. There are now NO serious reviews that put this argument to bed once and for all. Would be awesome to see it. I'm sure all the motorcycle forums across the country would refer to the review.

Sometimes, when it is burning excessive engine oil, and is smoking like a coal fired freight train, I add a quart of 90-140 Gear Oil to the crankcase. It runs smoother, quieter, and smokes a lot less. I have another engine waiting to go into her, when I get some time to spend in the shop. Until then, I just do what works to buy a few more tbousand miles or so. I have to chuckle at the sphincter-breaths that swear by expensive designer oils, additives, and their polly-parrot reciting of the advertisement data.

An excellent set of tests if I may say so. Great video. I commented before, on a previous engine oil related video, that there are standard tests which provide insight to the characteristics of oil performance. This suite of cold temperature flow, heat resistance, lubricity, and wear resistance are part of the industry test regime, and the lab tests you asked for are best-in-class when it comes to assessing the performance of lubricants. Dexos 2 approvals should provide consistency of formulation if both products claim they are compliant, and your tests certainly confirmed that both of these products were comparable. One issue of concern when buying engine oil is whether you can truly rely on the label; has the vendor really achieved the claimed approvals? If you buy from a reputable supplier this will not be in doubt but some disreputable businesses will use the Dexos 2 logo despite not having it i.e. not using the correct formulation, and sometimes make outrageous claims such as an engine oil being suitable for gasoline and diesel engines, motorcycles, and heavy machinery. Such products do not exist. Best to buy from a well-known or trusted supplier. Your tests conclusively proved that the Kirkland 5w-30 product is within specification and therefore represents great value for money. Thanks for doing such a great job.

Our car manufacturers claim the engine oil should be changed every 30.000 km (18.600 miles) - because of ecology? And many of these poor drivers do actually follow this "advice". The engines are clogged up very soon and a new car is needed because it is not worth to repair the poorly maintained engine with very often no more than 100.000km (60.000miles). I believe this the reason why we are suggested to use long life engine oils - sales of the new cars will be this way kept constant :) because their engines will not last long anyway :)

I am a bearing Lubrication engineer at GM and help design the crankshafts and bearings for several of our engines including the smallblock engine over the last 20 years. I am not really surprised by your results. Probably the most important part of the label on the oil container is the Dexos certification. That is a GM proprietary certification and oil manufacturers have to submit their samples directly to GM for their approval. If an oil has the Dexos certification I would have no problem putting the oil in my GM car.

How did you get into that position? Did you start as a tech or went straight for a college degree?

My favorite channel! I lived inCali for almost 20yrs but I left the country for fam reason. Now I'm living in Manila and I still watch all PF videos. I wish we have kriks oil here. Shell and CalTax "which is Chevron" cost about $8 a liter. Love the channel all the way!

[@awilson5636]

If I remember correctly Warren also makes the Supertech oil, so they're likely the same oil. Warren makes oil for a LOT of different brands, though that doesn't mean all the brands are made to the same specifications.

[@awilson5636]

He says Warren makes both at the end, I guess I wrote my comment a little early.

[@supatipanno]

@Gator McClusky No comparison, Mobil 1 is made with around 90% Poly Alphaolefin (PAO) and a small % of Ester based base oils as a booster. The other "Full Synthetics" are still OK but made with cheaper Group III Hydrocracked base oils. I am a lube formulator. I have always said that PAO automotive oils have a brain or a soul that think and change their characteristics as operating conditions change and last a very long time.

[@supatipanno]

@Gator McClusky no too expensive, the go is to have a 4-5 litre can with diesel fuel on hand and the sumps of my vehicles are 6.5 litres so I put 1 litre and a bit of diesel in the oil and let idle for three minutes on a hot engine before opening the drain plug. My other 4wd has 7.5 so put 2 litres and our sprinter has 12.5 so 3 litres. Everything drains quicker and cleaner. ATF is good for repairing some noisy lifters and you drain some oil and fill with a litre but leave in for a while while driving.

I've used Supertech Full synthetic for years in my Toyota Venza 3.5 V6. I'd say I switched to Supertech approximately 40,000 miles ago. I'm at 170,000 miles, my engine is healthy. It doesn't burn or leak a drop of oil.

Not surprised with these results. I've been a member of Costco since way back in the early Price Club days and cannot think of one Kirkland brand product I've bought that I was not satisfied with. There one of the very few companies that seem to care about there customers and really try hard to take care of them. As always another great video.

I agree 100%!!!!!! They have great products, great prices and are always customer minded.

[@Kingfisher1215]

I like them as well but I also feel the Sams Club products are very good. I think some people are too into the Costco cult however and have found Sams to be a better value on some things. That said I'll be buying the Kirkland oil in the future.

[@juans.rodriguez4180]

Dude, if you believe that cheap oil will work same as a brand oil, you're in for a big surprise, I done few valve cover gaskets that customers claim to use this crap synthetic oil ,from Costco and believe me, walls and all moving parts just black, when they supposed to be like new when the regular oil changes are made, unfortunately we get to believe stuff like this, 😔, cheap oil is recycled oil, I think you can get same quality oil from your dollar store as the Kirkland's, use the recommended oil by your vehicle manufacturer, dont ever think cheap oil is good for your car. Mobil 1, pennzoil titanium, Quaker state, are good brands or anything over $28 bucks for a 5 qt jug and dont get the auto parts brand either, and stay away from that royal purple crap too, lol, I used to use recycled oil on my customers, but then I stop when I saw the results from the brand I use, which I recommend to my customers as I my self use on my personal and family members cars. Idemitsu is the brand but dont get it from internet lots of fakes claiming is the real deal , buy it from a local auto parts that sell it, hard to find at Auto parts, but some will carry and your car will thank you, 4 oil changes u will see dipstick coming out cleaner not black when u check the oil lvl before your start the 5th change
