I've bought Ford oil for my Mondeo. I've thought that it isn't anything special, especially since it's so cheap, but I'm glad to see that it actually seems to be quite good quality oil.

As an ex R&D engineer for car part, I can tell you that most car manufacturers have a policy to use multiple suppliers for everything. This way if they have trouble with one supplier, then they have an alternative one and they don't have to stop production. This is why it is hard to say who makes it for VW. Different regions also have different suppliers, because it is not worth to ship oil from Europe to Asia for example. I can also confirm the statement for the OEM and aftermarket parts made by the same manufacturer. Same manufacturer can use older (worse) production lines / sites or worse quality materials. I have to say - you are the first youtuber that knows what gage R&R is! And it makes a good impression.

For VW oil it's been make by Castrol BP. We can insure it by verifying the batch number at the rear which use the same stock pattern as Castrol brand. So it's even the entire product make by Castrol shipped to VW fulfilment department. Edit: btw excellent work you are presenting us, keep it !

VW is with Castrol (BP) for years, me and my colleagues did the tender. Also, they use different oil for their brands, e.g. Skoda uses Total. They only cared about low price.. That's it. And if you compare the results you'll find it similar to Castrol Edge..

I dont know for the other brands but for VW the oil supplier depends on region, In Canada all VW group engine oils come from Wakefield, who License the Castrol brand from BP and blends the oil or imports it themselves (based on the specs VW/BP provide) even if a VW dealer orders VW branded bottles from "The Factory" the order is fullfilled by Wakefield (Castrol) outside of the distribution system VW uses. Mostly due to the fact its a hazardous material. The oil your Dealer uses for oil changes is purely supplied in bulk by a supplier and held in large tanks on site. Mechanics are not emptying bottles of oil into your car.

If you use a proper oil that already has detergents & dispersants in it, there isn't a need to use "Oil Additives". Often, adding after market products to your Oil can unbalance the "chemical balance" already in it and thus, be counter productive.

I don't agree with the rating for the oils' viscosity. A higher or lower viscosity doesn't make an oil better or worse, sometimes you want more viscosity and sometimes you want less depends on the design and operation of the mechanical components. What you should have tested is the oils' deviation from the standardized viscosity rating, ie how *different* the time they took to flow was compared to the SAE standard on the label, and how much it changes after the evaporation test, and ideally also how much it changes after being put through a certain number of lubrication cycles.

Can I just add that very low temperatures will affect the quality of brand new oils in a way that wasn't explored here. Freezing temperatures cause the additives to drop out of suspension, particularly detergents and crucially anti foaming agents. This last additive is essential to prevent aeration of oil and metal to metal contact as bubbles replace oil in a given volume. Stored oil (particularly relevant if its over 5 years old and been stored out in a garage over winter) can be visually checked for this by emptying out the contents into a clear jug (the oil should still appear "bright" with no cloudiness) then cut open the original container and check for sludgy/slimy grey deposits in the bottom. If there is any, even if the oil was in a sealed container, its basically only good for oiling hinges, or recycling. This happens in fully synthetic oils too, a lesson that I learned and I ended up having to recycle 5+ litres of new Castrol. And also dumping the oil from my Suzuki GSX-R 750k after just 18 miles (!!!) when I checked the container some spare oil was in, and noticed bubbles on the surface through the sight glass. This is a great video, but oil quality can be trashed if its not stored correctly. All of mine is now at the back of my wardrobe, cool and dark, but never below 8°C. Sorry, I'm something of a geek too when it comes to doing home servicing.

That's good to know, I've bought Ford Formula oil before & my philosophy was that if it's good enough for Ford to sell over the counter to their customers then it's good enough. And this test proves that. It's also a very reasonable price. Coincidentally I've just bought a Mercedes & that calls for their own oil spec of "229.1" & their genuine oil with that spec is a very reasonable price too ...so it's good to see that it's a good quality oiol in this video too.

Based on what I've heard from other people and mechanics, and my own car running for 320.000 km on the Mercedes 229.31 and now 229.51 oil without any issues in relation to lubrication, it's without any doubt a great oil for the money. There isn't really any reason to spend more money on something more expensive, the additive package seems to be just right and the price is very affordable. If people really care about their engines, changing their oil more often will have a way bigger impact on engine life than anything else

Last oil change I used bmw twin power 0w-30 and the engine started using/evaporating so much that I had to add oil every 1000km maybe. I added ticker castrol oil and some additive that stoped the oil consumption. Now I used liqui moly 5w-40 with LM ceratech and still no consumption and the engine idles more quite and runs good.

Out of curiosity: the result of the stickiness test is measured by the width of the remaining drop. Wouldn’t that tell you something about cohesian, rather than adhesion, all influenced by surface tension. You want to know how much oil sticks to the metal, not how large a drop of oil would be.

Hi, you forgot to mention one thing , the seals in every engine are tested with their specific oil for lubrification and wear resistance . No wonder BMW"s loose oil everywhere as nobody bothers to buy the original oil . If you want to your engine to last use original as nobody knows the exact composition of the oils . Aftermarket oil is good but is missing essential additives regardless of the manufacturer approval.

In Russia the oil for Mercedes is made by Lukoil but that's a rumor. Also in Russia many official dealers pour different oils instead of the original Mercedes oil if you don't tell to pour the official MB oil when giving in your car for service. The dealer Lukoil Mercedes now renamed to Lukavto poured Lukoil Genesis 5W-40. I was in shock that's really cheap oil. The factory of Lukoil oil in Russia is actually very good & was reviewed by a Russian blogger Alan Enileev. He went to the factory. Anyway I prefer original MB oil bought at the official Mercedes dealer.

Asa degeaba uleiul de bmw e mai bun daca eu nu pot sa il pun intr-un motor vw, sau oricare combinatie din cele 4 uleiuri. Fiecare ulei trebuie sa mearga intr-un anumit tip de motor, era si normal sa existe diferente intre ele pt ca si cerintele pe care trebuie sa le respecte sunt diferite.

If that isn't enough,ok, then buy Wolf,Eni,Ravenol,Mabanol,Eneos,Comma...and all that oil in which you are sure that is a 100% original...my recommendation is on petrol station...be careful there are still too many copies of Castrol,Shell etc. (And yes, I am an oil and gas production engeneer)

Hello, I wanted to point out the expire date that applies to engine oils. Many auto traders said that if the oil is in between 5 years from the production date, it is ok but in my opinion not all car parts shops are store the oil correctly and the oil will degrade because of extreme heat or cold conditions. As that been said I bought a 4 year old oil for my car, after 5000 km my engine started to have noises at cold start. I have replaced the oil again but with a fresh date and my engine last over a year and aprox. 11.000 km until the cold start noises appear. Since then I always buy fresh oil for my car, meanwhile auto traders despear when they see me!!!!!

It doesn't matter who makes the oil. The additive chemistry and base stock of the oil matter. If it is approved by the engine manufacture and is approved by ILSAC or ACEA, it doesn't matter. They will all be fine.

Interesting point the oil stickiness test, could it be a better result with a smaller drop at the end of the stick to indicate more of the oil has stuck to the surface above so the osmosis effect of the drop is smaller at the bottom of the stick?

@Sergiu Gabor Nu exista dublu standard in fabrici, sa luam exemplul tau, daca producatorul respectiv, sa zicem TRW, fabrica pentru OE piesa cu pricina, sa zicem un disc de frana, atunci varianta de AM de la TRW va fi identica cu cea originala livrata din fabrica! Si explicatia este una foarte simpla, daca acesta deja produce varianta originala ce se livreaza cu cod OE, o sa mai angajeze inca o serie de muncitori, o sa mai achizitioneze inca o serie de utilaje, inca o serie de echipamente si oameni pentru CTC, o sa mai ocupa inca o data spatiul in uzina, ca sa produca acelasi reper?

Pe scurt, da. E un proces mai complicat, dar nu e necesar să existe linii suplimentare, operatori suplimentari ș.a.m.d. Materiale folosite pentru producerea unei componente OE sunt superioare celor AM. Inspecțiile sunt mai riguroase si toleranțele mai mici. Acesta este domeniul meu de activitate profesională și cunosc aceste aspecte.

@@SergiuGabor Pai explica in cateva linii simple, ATENTIE eu nu fac referire la branduri AM care nu echipeaza reperul pe OE sau chiar producatorul de OE dupa ce masina nu mai este curenta si deja subcontracteaza alti furnizori pentru acel reper, am fost in fabrica la MAHLE, OSRAM, etc si nu se intampla ce spui tu, daca vrei iti pot detalia cu lux de amanunte

Everyone need to know that car makers do not make oil, despite the packaging. When I worked for a VW/Audi dealership the competition cars had BP logo's, yet we used castrol from a big tank, later castrol was a sponsor. Now take PSA, Peugeot recommended Esso, yet Citroen (same engines) recommended Total. Yet Renault recommended Elf which became Total. It's all about marketing. Any brand that meet's specs is good.

Un test precis. Mulțumim! Sugerez un test pentru antigel G12/G12+/G12++, Ravenol, HEPU, inclusiv câteva la preț redus din Kaufland, Metro. Consider ca ar fi interesant sa vedem diferența între brand uri și care au cel mai bun punct de fierbere și oferă cea mai buna protecție împotriva depunerilor în perioada de vara.

Plănuiesc de mult timp sa fac un test la antigel, dar sunt câteva aspecte care trebuie verificate si încă nu am găsit o metodă prin care sa le ilustrez corespunzător. Dar lucrez la asta și o sa vină si acel test.

Metodele de testare au fost revizuite între timp. In primele episoade nu aveam "know-how-ul" necesar pentru a face testele precum acesta. Sfaturile și indicațiile oferite de voi m-au ajutat foarte mult sa perfecționeze metodele de testare și conținutul episoadelor.
