Just curious could you attach a photo of the report we can zoom in to see thanks in advance.

[@vqdriver]

You are the only KZbinr who only supports RAT540. I hope the oil companies don’t try to make engine oils any worse protecting!

[@vlxneutron2835]

Thanks for the info...i currently use Quaker state 5w40 euro sp in bmw 320i to protect against fuel dilution... timing chain and direct injection valve carbon buildup..low volatility and high flash point....as critique not criticism...more light on report would allow sharper focus and greater resolution so we could read along with u...it was a bit fuzzy..thanks for your information

[@joelnrs]

The results are super interesting. Looking forward to see how the Quaker State oil does.

[@mattf2535]

Why did you choose a conventional oil to break in your Chevy engine?

[@sdrake74]

Ive been using the quaker state 0w-20 full synthetic dexos on a hyundai santa fe.. bought it new.. it says in the owners manual to use this oil.. i was changing it at 3000 miles now in going 4000 miles... i am very interested in your results!!!!

[@blacklilac1408]

Would you think a 10w-30 Amsoil ss would help being ? I wasthinking it might but at the same time you are probably towing and doing work with the pull already at temp. If not i think it would be real interesting to see the k1500 with Amsoil 10w-40 Premium Protection!

[@ElectricDanielBoone]

I’m starting to question if AMSOIL has changed over the years. AMSOIL SS in our 2020 Cherokee V6, 11mo/12k oil’s oxidation was 78! I usually go 12mo, but the oil was getting too dark for me, so I drained it early and took the sample. Speed did the analysis and viscosity was high too, but metals weren’t bad, engine was running and sounding fine, but Damn! I’ve been running AMSOIL for years too (early 80’s) and all my engines did 200k+ with 12mo oil changes. Maybe it’s the super thin 0W oils used now? Don’t know, but I’m not spending premium money on hard to get oil after this! 5K/6mo oil changes in my future with Pennzoil or something ez’r to find. Walmart has the 12qt boxes and the Cherokee takes 6qts, so that’ll work great!

[@reubenmorris487]

Could it be that newer cars are harder on oil?

[@ElectricDanielBoone]

@@reubenmorris487 maybe, but that Pentastar v6 has no turbo or direct injection and I don’t tow either. It does have integrated exhaust headers and the cats are mounted close to those, which would seem to heat some things up. Ad thin rings, piston cooling nozzles, etc, etc to that list. Also, I noticed the engine’s rear main seal was leaking when I changed out the AMSOIL too. I was just under there today looking at it and the leak has completely stopped. It’s been close to 3000 miles on the Pennzoil I put in.

[@Fred-F4]

I also run SS 9mo/9k not more. But something that helps oil, is to keep mpg at factory spec so that engine does not have to generate exess/waste heat/power.

[@DanWright-w7x]

To me Expensive Oil like Amsoil , Red Line are all over Priced I have had many Service Trucks and used Walmart Super Tech 10w30 and all trucks lasted over 450,000 miles changed the oil every 4000 miles !!

Interesting video from an Amsoil dealer

[@jimn.9990]

I enjoy watching your videos, but I wish to comment on the obscurity of the two oil-analysis reports you were displaying in your video, which made it extremely difficult to read any portion of the findings! Why in the world would you compare the oil analysis between the used Amsoil with over 11,000 miles on the odometer to the Pennzoil Platinum with 3,000 miles on it, since the Amsoil would have operated nearly 4 times the mileage as the Pennzoil?? Obviously, the Pennzoil run every 3,000 miles would give better numbers! Also, the cost to replace the Pennzoil at every 3,000 miles would be changed almost 4x as much as Amsoil (including extra oil filters and the cost of servicing each oil change, unless you are doing it yourself, not to mention recycling gallons more of the used engine oil of Pennzoil than Amsoil)! I pose the same question regarding using the Amsoil in the Chevy Truck with over 9,000 miles to your experiment with Quaker State with 3,000 mile cycles, with over 3x more miles in the Amsoil than the QS?? Regarding the 540Rat Blog you mentioned, the author of that blog mentioned that the Amsoil 0W-20 Signature Series was the best 0W-20 oil that he ever tested. I would like your assessment on the performance of your two vehicles using QS and Pennzoil compared to the Amsoil. I personally found in my experience the 100% Synthetic Amsoil Signature Series gave my vehicles better performance than Mobil 1, Castrol Syntec, Valvoline Full Synthetic and Pennzoil Full Synthetic (derived from hydrocracked petroleum, rather than the newer formula with natural gas). I believe a careful examination should be made of the gas mileage of the different vehicles using different oils. Of course the experiment should include nearly the same driving conditions, the age of the oil and same brand of gas, along with same seasonal gasoline blend (summer vs winter blend, the latter giving vehicles a lower MPG). I noted many of the reviews given by Verified Customers of Amsoil (on Amsoil’s Website) that state they experienced increased MPG using various Amsoil products than other oils. With today’s higher costs of gasoline, using a motor oil that gives better gasoline mileage can significantly result in fuel saving at the end of an oil change cycle. I would imagine the Amsoil Signature Series would excel here (in terms of MPG) with a unique combination of metallocene PolyAlphaOlefins (Class IV Synthetic) and a Class V Synthetic, such as Ethers (I am only speculating on the composition of metallocene). Amsoil considers such information a proprietary secret, which they don’t want to be revealed-only the top brass in Amsoil has access to this classified information! By comparing the Amsoil Signature Series to the lesser lines of 100% Synthetic Amsoil motor oils, I see the wider variance between the Flash Point and the Pour Point in the Signature Series, so I concluded it must be the result of using the more expensive PAOs in the Signature Series. Some of the advantages claimed for metallocene PAO's are the following: a. Better low-temperature fluidity; b. Higher viscosity indices; c. Enhanced film thickness at higher temperatures, resulting in a greater reduction in metal wear; d. Lower foaming tendencies; e. Lower traction properties, which enables a greater energy efficiency. I imagine the lower tier lines of Amsoil use conventional PAOs with Esters. I watch the KZbin Channel called “Lubrication Explained” run by Rafe Britton (a former lubrication engineer at Mobil), who stated in one of his videos that any oil company that sells a 100% Synthetic motor oil has to be a combination of PAOs and Esters (without any cheaper hydrocracked petroleum).

K1500 should be using 10w30 not 5w30 if it’s a 350 V8

[@sergeyparshin8682]

So Amsoil’s 1yr/25K claim is not working. Why am I not surprised. Also, TBN is meaningless without TAN.

[@oneninerniner3427]

What you mean not working? He ran it for a year & 9,000 whatever miles and nothing was in the critical zone, sure some were a little high but not critical. AMSOIL says "UP TO" 15,000 miles or one year "whichever comes first" in "severe service". Normal service "Up To" 25,000 miles, 700 hours or one year "whichever comes first". So it would be interesting to see what penz or quaker full synthetics would test like at the similar intervals. I'll bet they wouldn't compare at those intervals! I have been running Signature in my and my kids vehicles (so that's normally that's about six vehicles) for decades including my old plow/work truck, doing about once a year service intervals. But most of them don't get a tremendous amount of yearly mileage. My daughter's being the exception, especially when she was going to college. She put on over 50,000 miles a year & sometimes 30,000ish miles on an oil change because I could hardly get my hands on it to do a service. That car easily made 200,000 miles till she hit a deer and totaled it. The rest of them have never had an engine failure and have run flawlessly until I traded them or there was nothing left of them to trade. Lol

​@@oneninerniner3427 exactly 👍🏻

[@oneninerniner3427]

I take that back, I have had two different truck engine failures, detonated pistons, but it wasn't the oil's fault. It was the crappy fuel we have now days. One was a higher compression big block that I went blasting down the highway with regular unleaded in it because I needed fuel and could only get regular at the moment. Honed the cylinder, put in a new piston, rings & premium fuel and ran it for another decade. The last one was a small block I pulled my enclosed race trailer with the pedal pretty much on the floor boards most of the time. I bumped the timing for a little better response and mileage and it detonated a piston as well. I pulled it apart and could have scraped the melted aluminum off of the cylinder wall, honed it and put a new piston & rings in as the cylinder otherwise looked great and wasn't worn much at all. That one got a different engine just because I had one for it at the time.

[@markwarnberg9504]

The ? is will Amsoil or any other Long Life Oil Company stand by their claim and replace the engine? You can bet the manufactuer will not as you did not follow their service guide lines.
