Is Mobil 1 better than Schaeffer's Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil? Let's find out!

Both Mobil 1 and Schaeffer's have been in business for over 100 years, but which brand makes the best SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil? Let's find out! I purchased Mobil 1 and Schaeffer's Synthetic oils using my own money. I am not sponsored by Schaeffer's or Mobil 1 or by any product manufacturer. 100% of Project Farm videos are ideas that come from those leaving comments. So, thank you very much for requesting this video! In the previous episodes, Amsoil won over Royal Purple, Amazon won over Liqui Moli, and Red Line won over Super Tech. The brands that won will advance to next round in the oil championship series.

I switched to Schaeffer's products for everything with my hotshot business. It lowered my maintenance intervals by over 25% Which lowered my downtime and by buying their products in bulk from a distributor it came out to be cheaper than any other option. I even get free oil samples which is a huge savings. My biggest savings come with their carbon treat fuel treatment pushing that fuel filter life out is huge.

Holy crap this channel is amazing. The fleet that we had years ago all transferred to Schaeffers oil after we ran a series of test between 100 vehicles. I think it was about ten vehicles each received a certain brand of full synthetic oil with oil samples sent off every single oil change. At the end of the year Schaeffers oil was decided on and we extended our 5000 mile oil changes in F150s to 13,000 miles per oil sample recommendations. The trucks were already out of warranty as standard oil changes were no longer relevant. A few of the trucks that we used for highway parts running were extended up to 17,000 miles. Amsoil was up there but they cannot beat the bulk prices on Schaefer.

The rest of them are changed per what the oil lab analysis tells us the change interval should be most are around the equivalent of 24000 miles on stationary other dirtier condition engines are around 12000 miles. Recommendations on the bottles are 7000 and 9000 miles but we send everything into a private analysis lab to be sure we are getting the best protection possible. I can almost guarantee you that if you sent me a sample of your conventional oil that had 3000 miles on it and I sent it into the lab the results would come back that you should have changed your oil a thousand miles ago.

@@sunshinekid6922 After bacon fat decisively beat conventional oil in the lubricity test, I've lost faith in it. Many years ago I recall a sleazy oil additive company using the same test to promote their product. It was just a zinc additive. If you didn't know better, the test made the additive look very appealing. In actual use, the additive didn't help, and in many situations cause problems, but it tested well ;)

[@Worrsaint]

@@EDesigns_FL You are probably referring to zddp. In older cars with agressive cams it is actually very helpful. It is an additive specifically for high pressure lubrication. Newer oils have used lower amounts due to a change in catalytic converter materials. Manufacturers had to do so because of new regulations regarding catalytic converter warranties being extended. The new material did not like zddp. The additive for manual transmission oils have gotten varying results because of synchro materials also. I forget the additive, but when used on bronze vs steel (I think) it does an excellent job preventing wear on one but causes rapid wear on the other. That said, some additives are hogwash, others it really does depend on the application.

Glad I found these series of videos. I only use Schaefer's and Redline in my hotrods. From 400 to 1000hp they have performed flawlessly. Schaefer's is a great little family owned business. They put their money into development and not marketing hence why many people haven't heard of them. However, they are well know in the industrial market

[@johnb.5146]

I love you’re channel! I wanted to suggest that while you are doing the oil shootout, you are only doing the bearing test with brand new oil. I think the results would be more relavant and really interesting if you repeated the test with cooked oil, afterall that is what the oil is like for most of it life, it is only new for like the first 20 miles of a 3,000-6,000 mile oil change interval

[@lumpyzx2645]

I agree with this guy, I was just thinking the exact same thing! I think that's a great idea

[@enesboss7193]

It would be better if you tested the Lubricity on 100-120°c (or engine operating temperature) maybe that would make a difference for the oils. Really good tests keep up the good work!

[@dimmacommunication]

True :) should do a Cold ( to simulate cold start ) and Hot test

This is more exciting than the NBA.. my only complaint is it is too long between tests! I think it would be interesting at the very end of the bracket to test the overall winner against the last place and see what the differences are by percentage and price (cost/ benefits ratio). Additionally, a test against a very low cost "economy" brand as this would probably show the value of extra protection against wear. Thank you as always for your delivery and demeanor. It is great to see a family friendly channel that is intellectual and without drama.

[@ralphwood5114]

I have used depth bypass filters for the last 50 some years. My oil always looks new. Looks like the Mobil 1 is lighter. Before I started using synthetics I used Chevron Delo 100 30 wt. I don't drain oil. In the 60s multi grade conventional oil didn't hold up for extended use. You for sure didn't use multi grade in a diesel. My uncle told me his 59 Ford always uses a quart of oil after he changes it. Then it's OK until his next oil change. Later I realized one quart evaporated. Conventional multi grade. They are a lot better now. When Mobil 1 first came out all they had was 5 20. You needed a pretty good engine to use it.

Walmart full synthetic 5w30 vs Amazon full synthetic 5w30!! This one has me wondering

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@MattTigers]

Both are produced by Warren, most likely the exact same formulation.

[@randycchavez]

@@MattTigers correct but Walmart sometimes changes their private label supplier. I know in the past both ConocoPhillips and Shell have made PLP oil for Wally's. Fwiw, the SuperTech full synthetic made by Warren right now is GM Dexos2 certified, which means it surpasses ILSAC GF5 test standards. Not bad for a rock bottom priced full synthetic in my opinion and probably suitable for most any daily driver car. PS, Walmart has a website of SDS of all current oil products and past (archived) oil suppliers. That's how I learned about Shell and Conoco having been a PLP supplier to Wally's. It even tells you which viscosities they produced oil for Wally's)

[@DLYskes1976]

I've seen some cold temp testing of the Walmart ( supertech ) full synthetic 5w30 and it's not that great......like i was actually surprised at how bad it did vs other synthetic oils... And for the $$$$ I picked up some Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w30 from walmart about a month ago for my Chevy Cruze and the 5 quart jug was 26$...... and with all the video's i've seen on the cold temp testing which has been anywhere from 15 below to 40 below..... Mobil 1 beat everything.... Except in this video lol where Shaeffer's barely won....

[@jefferybucci30]

I don't think Pennzoil Platinum should be on the list. I think that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum should be on the list. Researching shows that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is second best to Amsoil. This would be the show down in the finale according to many sites.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you. Yes, I'll test it soon. Thank you

[@e-racer4673]

I really hope you cover Castrol GTX oil as well. You have an awesome way of testing and comparing these different oils. If you haven’t already done it I would love for you to test oil filters. Years ago all I would put on my vehicle was Fram now I would not put Fram on my lawnmower. I’ve had several vehicles lose oil pressure and all I did was change the oil filter from a Fram to an AC Delco and fixed it! Thank you for all you do.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you

[@netweight170]

Simple but great test. very informative. just one thing, one might argue the pipe (PVC pipe?) used as a race track might contribute to the error of the test. So, best is to test the possible error of the pipe by running single type of oil over all 4 tracks first to make sure they all finish the same time. Anyway, its been 10 yrs I Ieft ASTM/DIN related work, feeling glad and nostalgic seeing someone does material testing. Keep it up!

PF, since it's likely that the finalists in this testing are going to be both darn good products...is it possible to come up with some other test to determine a winner? Like say a multi hour test in a small engine where we can get a look at their sludge (detergent pkg) fighting capabilities? While lubrication is important, having an oil in your car that fights the formation of sludge and deposits to a minimum, keeping those oil passages free flowing is also an important function of a high quality oil.

[@ProjectFarm]

Outstanding recommendation! Yes, I don't want to spoil it, but I do have a very challenging set of tests for the final 2 products. I can hardly wait!

[@AZTG92]

Hello! Hats off to you for all the job you do in your movies! I wonder if the amount of oil in the cup can make a difference in your lubricity test (e.g. 1mm above the rotor's bottom point, 2mm, 3mm, etc.). In manual transmissions the level of oil is strictly specified because both too low level and too high level can cause the oil not to be splashed properly inside the housing (or to be foamed) and then the elements are not lubricated properly.

I have watched almost all of your videos over the past several years and really enjoy your engine oil ones. I own my own trucking company and would like to a make a suggestion for you to test Ford Diesel Oil, Shell Rotella Diesel Oil, Schaeffer Diesel Oil, and Lucas Diesel Oil both synthetic and regular. I started running Lucas over Schaffer’s due to cost and want to make sure I’m not ruining my engines. In my experience with Rotella, my engines have always burned oil and with other brands I do not. I want to make sure the oil I’m using is safe for my engine. I trust and respect your results that you come up with in your videos and would appreciated an unbiased answer from someone I trust.
