"Castrol is still making shampoo." - Sergiu Gabor, 2020 Plin de informatii tehnice de mare valoare si presarat cu umor fin. Genial, ca de fiecare data. Felicitari, Sergiu! Tine-o tot asa!

[@rosenfeldclaudia]

100% true. Castrol makes nice stikkers for racing cars 🤣

Shampoo is also lube 😂

@@stefanr.3495 I once put shampoo in my engine and somehow hair got into my oil filter, and oil in my hair. It sucked the bad day. Then to make the matter worse, my engine blew that same ole day. My engine told me that too much hair is bad, too. I always thought that the more hair the better from baldies. Well not necessarily, and especially if it's running up your back. End of story and keep your arm pits smelling good with deodorant. There needs to be a deodorant for the rear. You know where I come from, there are people that wear their underwear on their head, which I've always thought was a little of strange.

I love your tests, great work 💪🏼 can you please test ROWE oil ?

[@cartiershades3392]

Motul is the best motor oil I’ve ever used. My performance mechanic’s shop where I do all my maintenance, repairs and mod installations are sponsored by motul and only use motul for all their fluid changes. Will never use another oil brand ever again, no matter how hard it is to get motul at a regular store in person 😂

[@craftedwithart]

maybe biased opinion

[@cartiershades3392]

@@craftedwithart Not biased. Going to autozone and wal mart for Mobil 1 or some other generic brand is cool but you notice the difference with Motul. Especially with turbo applications

[@craftedwithart]

@@cartiershades3392 I live in EU. I know motul is good tho. Valvoline is also quality

[@akbarpashtun]

True, if you get the right product of motul like xcess 5-40 than it works like magic. My mechanic and people said that they had driven the same car of others many time but mine felt like insane powerful and accelerates way better than stock. And then I used motul xmax and it was not as magical as x cess. Going to use xcess tomorrow in my present though car manual recommends 0w20, let's see how it goes but since we have very hot temperatures like 40+ C here so 5w40 will be good.

Waiting for that V300 test! Hope you choose the 15w50!!

[@steve8466]

I like this kind of tests. Please more.

[@cuttingedgecool7235]

Great comparison. Keep up good work! Can you test normal consumer oils from same manufacturers, for eg 5w30 for diesel engines 507 spec? Would be great to see if there is such difference there. Thanks

[@jinkly]

Congrats for this awesome comparative. Great effort and great work! Keep going!!! (I suspect for many years that Castrol is not as good as 20 years before)

[@shorecarul]

You should also try the Valvoline vr1 10w60, heard only good reviews about it and put it yesterday in my 30 yrs old engine, it made the engine so much quieter I could not believe it. Great video! Keep it up!

[@DIYBill]

Are you still using valvoline ?

[@stefanr.3495]

Fantastic, super-pro and accurate! Could you test ester based oils against good quality synthetics? Ester oils have polar macro molecules that stick to metal and provide better surface protection in theory. Bafta!

Of course, I will 😄

[@sapte62]

Guys, if you want Sergiu to test motorcycle oils give @BobbyBlueAce a thumb up. That will prove that this is of interest to us

[@unphoto]

Thanks for explaining the data sheet values. I was nit sure what value was better if it was low or high. Can you test motorcycle engine oil like Putoline. I would also hope to see a test of LED light for cars/motorcycles without a separate ballast or power source to see how much much light it can project thru a reflector and projector headlight.

[@mrmrva]

Nice work Sergiu. Any recommendation or possibly test for Ford's 1.0 EcoBoost engine oils? :)

[@ripciu]

0:11 you killed me LOL. great video :)

[@SupraTompan]

This is perfection. I usually make conclusions on the pour point temperatures. Anything under -50 will Most likely be a group IV or V. A good example of a oil I use alot is the Castrol Edge 0W40 A3/B4, its specs make all 5W40 oils look like crap in comparison.

[@X11CHASE]

Amazing video

[@craftedwithart]

Test the best High Mileage Oils like Valoline and Liqui Moly

[@4G12]

Yes, one CAN manipulate the viscosity index via additives known as viscosity index enhancers, which are polymers with molecules that wrap themselves out at lower temperatures, but unwrap and grab other oil molecules to make the average molecular size larger and render the oil more viscous to avoid excessive viscosity loss with increasing temperature. That's how they can make so many different grades of oil, from 0W-16 to 0W-40 and even 10W-60, with the same base oils.

[@SoddingaboutSi]

Subscribed. Very good and interesting.

[@wykthor8476]

Salutari! Super clip! O intrebare: ce se intampla cu un motor benzina turbo de 2 litri in care se foloseste 10w60, in loc de 5w30 cum recomanda producatorul? Cu uleiul schimbat la 5.000 km... ?? Multumesc!

[@MrTimstaaa]

Hi Sergiu. I've noticed that the ravenol doesn't have any specifications on the container such as A5-B5, SN, or CF or CF-4 diesel specs. I think the same goes for the others. Would you happen to know what these might be or even if they are OK for diesel engines ?? Any info would be great..

[@boris9331]

@Sergiu Gabor might also be a good idea to test how they perform when they're worn, e.g diluted with e85 which happens fast on high power cars that still run a wet sump. Then there is the question on how they perform when they are carrying contaminents (metals from the bearings) within them, and how they continue to lubricate with these contaminents still present

[@kemurikusari9629]

really nicely done good job! what im curious about how different cold viscositys compare to each other with the same warm viscosity. like comparing motul 8100 0w40 to 5w40 and 10w40 and also what downside a oil with a big temperature spread has (like 0w50)

[@SergiuGabor]

Great idea! I'll follow up on this one in a [FYC] episode

Salut Sergiu, imi plac prezentarile tale de aceea am subscris. Spune-mi te rog ce uleiuri grupa V gasim pe piata romaneasca?

Hi there. Greetings from Guatemala, Central America. Excellent presentation. I have a 2005 BMW X3 2.5 with a M54 engine. I am currently using Liqui Moly 10W-40 (MoS2 Leichtlauf) oil. Any comments or suggestions on if I should continue using this oil or should I change of brand and/or grade.? Thanks in advance.

[@MIX-cy2yo]

Super video! :)

[@randommactech8700]

Gread video even though I like castrol oils :D I would be interested in a test of Rowe 10w60 oil in comparison. I think this is a brand that you didn't featur bevor and is supposed to make grade Oils. Keep up the grade work in making this videos better and better 🙂👍

[@akbarpashtun]

I recently came to know about Rowe. Did you used it and if so how was the result.

[@vladophilip]

Using ravenol for years... really special thing

Hi I found your channel very interesting and informative I run a vw golf r mk7 with a stage 2 tune and modified I see oil temperature normally around 90° to 110° a lot of tuners and forums say use miller's 5/40 part number ( 7953 ) oil or liqui molly ( 2328 ) oil but I contacted both manufacturers and ask what they recommended only miller's oil replied and they recommended there C3 5/40 ( 7806 ) I wondered if you could do a test on your channel testing these 3 oil against VW standard OE 5/30 oil as there is 1000s of people with in the VAG community in my situation running this engine. Thank jim

[@andyhooks1886]

Great watch, humor and learning mix, do have another oil I wish you would evaluate, I have used this manufacture in my diesel truck and autos, Great products, now have vehicle needing 10w60 and looking at the Ravenol, but wish you could compare or evaluate TRIAX Synergy SVL 10W-60. Thanks and enjoyed video

[@danielursachi1582]

Foarte bun testul. Multumim. Sper in viitor, ca nenea Sergiu sa includa in teste si gama low, de exemplu uleiuri 5w40 si 5w30 rebranduite Auchan sau Kaufland. Cred ca va avea surpriza sa constate ca diferentele dintre ele si gama premium (motul, ravenol, liqui, castrol, etc) nu e atat de mare. Iar pretul e mai mic cu 50 % sau chiar mai mult. Multa sanatate si spor la treaba in continuare, faci o treaba foarte buna !

[@NarcisOro]

Chiar sunt curios de comparatia asta, dar ca in orice domeniu cumperi si brandul care iti ofera o anumita siguranta, pe cand auchan sau kaufland...

[@danielursachi1582]

@@NarcisOro Nu am mai stat pe ganduri si, pe 07.10.2020 am bagat in motor 2 litri auchan 5w40 si 4 litri auchan 5w30. Cocktail. Motor logan 09 cu turbina, 90 cai, care avea 1 an si 19.161 km. Am alergat aprox.3300 km si pe 09.12.2020, la 22.513 km, l-am scos sa vad cum se prezinta. Nici o problema, nu am gasit span in cutia filtrului de ulei, ca in anul 2019, cand dupa rodaj de 2700 km cu uleiul din fabrica, pe cutia filtrului de ulei era pilitura metalica. Uleiul fara spuma, "alunecos" la frecarea intre degete. Nu m-am putut abtine sa nu fac alta proba. Am bagat desigur filtru de ulei nou si ...... atentie......, 2 litri ulei ravenol 5w40 amestecat cu 2 litri auchan 5w30. Din nou cocktail. Nu am pastrat garantia la golan pentru ca am montat de la 4.000 km o instalatie gpl, deci imi permit orice test, nu am mai trecut pe la reprezentanta pentru revizia de 1 an. Tot ceea ce am povestit aici, o pot demonstra cu fotografii, nu spun minciuni. Acum am vreo 1000-1500 km cu al doilea amestec de uleiuri. Cand fac 5000 km, din nou, jos din motor sa vedem cum arata. Si va urma kaufland 5w40 din 2018. L-am gasit la reducere in magazinul kaufland Botosani, pe 28.10.2020, 64.95 ron bidonul de 5 litri, am luat trei bidoane. Multa sanatate si numai bine in 2021 !

[@rondhole]

Thanks Sergiu, it confirm my theory that Ravenol use pure PAO or Type-IV oil in some of their line instead of a mixture of PAO+HC-synthetic like most other brands. The problem with claimed Full synthetic is that mixing HC-synthetic type-III oil base with PAO or Ester Type-V with different ratios can be considered fully synthetic. This is why for instance, Mannol wrote their oil is fully synthetic but actually contains mineral oil with a large portion and they sell it 1/2 price of other brands for obvious reason.

[@YeiDCalle]

Agree and have to that Castrol does the same and its bad.highly recomended Ravenol from Germany RedLine from USA with Amsoil Signature Series and Extreme GTi from Russia this one is really good big combo with PAO+Ester . Good pack of aditives included

Is that Ravenol Telesythesis good or bad?

[@YeiDCalle]

@@kingsalmanyt2882 Ravenol 👌

[@rondhole]

@@kingsalmanyt2882 it is still good but overprice for semisynthetic. Synthetic means group III and PAO mix in Germany/Europe. Full synthetic has to be PAO 70%. Often synthetic they marked it HC synthetic (group iii), without word Full synthetic. In other part of the world, full synthetic could be HC/group III.
