Motorboat Engine Oil Better Than Regular Motor Oil?

Marine (Boat Motor) Oil vs Car Engine Oil compared for anti-foaming, anti-wear, cold temperature performance and corrosion resistance. Manufacturers of marine oil claim that marine engine oil is superior than automotive oil for marine applications. I purchase all of the products tested to ensure unbiased test results.

[@edloki3057]

Most boaters use car-oil. They know anything branded "marine" is just a ploy to charge more.

[@SuperWaterskiboy]

no. the big tests that are important here for marine oil specifically was the anti corrosion/rust and the anti wear at rpm. Think about this, boats deal with much more moisture than any car will just due to operational environment. The corrosion resistance is important. Additionally, boats don't have multiple transmission gears to reduce engine rpm in use.. and so over their useful life see a lot more high rpm. while at a constant speed the marine oil 'only' performed 3% better, the ** about that is when you look at the regular use cases, the marine oil with less wear will make a much larger difference in the long run.

Regarding all your oil testing, of which ones would relate to diesel engines? This is a test if not already done I would be very interested in.

The omd being for oil mineral detergent, now I have my own diesel vehicle for towing purposes I only like to use the best wherever possible.

I would have rather seen a synthetic marine oil vs synthetic automotive oil. this test compared Honda petroleum based oil with full synthetic automotive... not a good comparison unless you are trying to sell Pennzoil to a bunch of duped boaters.

[@DEADB33F]

Great test. Marine engines tend to run cooler even at high load as the engine is constantly exchanging heat with the relatively cool river/sea water which will be more effective at removing heat than recirculating the same hot coolant in a loop through an air-cooled radiator. ...that might explain the lower flashpoint of the marine oil.

[@rh1860]

Was just about to say this. An unlimited supply of 40-80 degree water will keep an engine very cool even under full load conditions. It’s also why marinized car/truck engines often make more power in boats than in a car/truck. No heat issues.

[@frar.841]

For that reason people shouldn’t pay all that extra money for marine oil, regular oil will do the exact same job if not better, and that’s what I use in my mercruiser every season for the last 7 years without a problem, an engine is an engine no matter where you use it IMO

[@brettkelly4575]

That's a good point when I run my motor in a trash can the water temp goes up to like 150f and it runs like ass

[@rogerheuckeroth7456]

Not so sure it runs cooler, it still has a thermostat that controls the temperature. As long as the thermostat and water pump are working, there should never be overheating though. The closed loop of a automotive engine makes for more possibility of overheating though.

Test Idea I'm a woodworker and I believe that you probably have many woodworkers subscribing to your channel. Blades for planers and jointers are expensive to replace and they don't last very long. There are several different options all the way up to a helical insert type. Many people have the dewalt dw735 planer. It's considered a bit of an industry standard. Power consumption is also a big concern for using a planer and blades contribute quite a bit to load. One last item would be to see if there is a way to sharpen these blades with a commercially available tool. Lots of guys make home made fixtures and use sandpaper.

Video Suggestion! Window tint, ceramic vs non, heat rejection values, and do certain brands really block as much light as they claim. Also those sun visors you put in your windshield. Worth it to get the weather tech or do the cheapo parts store foldable ones do just as good?

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@hydorah]

@@ProjectFarm I don't even care about window tints, but I'd watch that, avidly :-)

[@tsslaporte]

You can easilyfind how much heat a tint blocks through the products data sheets.

I was just thinking that we haven't seen an oil video in a while, and we get an oil video!

[@ProjectFarm]

Testing oil is a lot of fun! Thank you!

[@mickstevens4677]

Extremely informative and well executed - respect goes to this guy 👏

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

You have to be the most thorough tester ever! I’d love to see you test Sweet Project Car’s magic oil blend (he has a video with a special concoction of like 4 different oils)!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@Kastoraki]

Dear Todd, every Sunday we are looking forward for your new video, great job as usually (i personally like more videos with tools). I would like to ask your educational background, for sure much be in technical field....

[@d.yitzgoldstein3515]

Woohoo! A new motor oil vid! Keep up the amazing work! How about a hacksaw showdown?

[@ProjectFarm]

Great suggestion!

[@xzevious69]

Awesome tests man keep em coming!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks, will do!

[@Odin31b]

Half the fun are the experiments! So blown away every video on how you come up with these test. "See For Yourself" principle is deep here.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@jimfly96]

Yeah, big surprise, A full synthetic oil out performed a petroleum based oil.... duh , this has been known for 40 years. Totally unnecessary experiment. They should have done synthetic marine vs synthetic auto if they wanted to compare apples to apples.

[@Moosecop32]

This was some great information. I'd love to see the test repeated against a high quality diesel oil like Rotella T6 as a test for use in a boat since that is a common marine oil substitute.

[@coastcrab7511]

I’d also like to see a marine vs rotella. I have been using both.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.

[@TheGuruStud]

Shell cut the additive package years ago.

[@hulu3253]

@@TheGuruStud rotella t6 5w40 still is a great motorcycle oil alternative. I find it to be superior to the original Kawasaki 10W 40 motorcycle oil I have used before in my 2018 Z650

It is 15% more, like everything 'marine'.

Great video. There is an additive called Camguard that was originally marketed to the aviation industry. It’s intent is to reduce corrosion in aviation piston engines that tend to get used infrequently. The flat tappet camshafts tend to suffer the most from corrosion. It would be interesting to see if it actually works.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.

Love all your videos, they influence my purchases more than any other source. Would love to see a wire stripper review, hard though, since there are many types...

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.

Hey Project Farm, what I would love to see is efficacy of different dishwashing liquids, particularly their de-greasing abilities.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great suggestion! Thank you.

[@michaellinner7772]

I'd really like to see you do a test of those sprayed or brushed on coatings, similar to paint, that dry to a mirror finish. They're usually a chrome, copper or polished gold finish. I'm hesitant to try them because they can be expensive and seem a little bit too good to be true.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@scubbarookie]

This was an interesting! Testing both marine and land motor oils was not a bad idea. The results made sense, but there was a bit suspense in the oil race! Thank you!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! You are welcome!

[@garyhawthorne4599]

Thank you for the testing

[@ProjectFarm]

[@johnwaterman9647]

Love your videos! Watching this one, I'm curious what the results would be comparing a marine oil to an automobive oil made by the same company, as perhaps the additive packages MIGHT be along a similar formula.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.

[@timlol8847]

@@ProjectFarm dude you used natural honda marine. vs sythetic penzoil.

[@jimfly96]

I think many folks here missed the fact that they compared a petroleum based oil with a synthetic. a marine synthetic vs automotive synthetic would have been a more accurate comparison. Their test was like doing a "who can lift more weight a man or a woman" experiment then being surprised when its the man.

[@thomasmccall1076]

Wish u put high performance motorcycle oil in the test too

I freaking love these oil tests!!! This is genuinely a question I've asked before why is marine oil so much more expensive than regular oil, is it really better?

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@dudeguybro]

Probably just more expensive to make - less demand.

[@surfstarcc1]

@@dudeguybro Good point.

[@jimfly96]

This was a bad test, Honda petroleum based marine oil vs a full synthetic automotive oil. An apples to apples comparison would have been synthetic marine to synthetic automotive.

Thanks for the video, these are great and through.

I love this in depth analysis. One day you should do a high zinc oil (like VR1) against pennzoil Ultra Platinum and see if the high zinc oil really worth the money. I run vr1 in my project car so this would help me out a lot. Thank you for reading this. Have a good one

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
