Valvoline Goat Of Motor Oil - Let's Check Out - High Mileage, Ultra High Mileage, Advanced, EP

[@cetate93]

Guess I'm a Valvoline Man now. Been looking for something to put in my '76 350sbc. High Mileage plus some synthetic MMO sounds like the ticket.

[@FordBossMe]

It really is because the mmo adds more PAO group 4 to the oil

[@TurnThemWheels]

I’m running Valvoline advanced 5QT jug and two of the Marvel Mystery Oil Synthetic bottles

[@cmte.brazinazzo2061]

I prefer the original naphthenic regular MMO. More solvent of crud than the synthetic MMO PAO, but just less suited to Long Drain Intervals.

[@Bobthebuilder.69]

That 76 350 has a flat tappet cam more than likely, I would run the Valvoline blue Diesel oil because it has alot more zinc and phosphorus than the other oils shown. (I've worked at my uncle's machine shop off and on since I was 16 and I've seen a lot of cams that get wiped out because folks aren't using oil with plenty of zinc and phosphorus. I also have over 2 million miles logged (alot of unlogged miles too 😂) with only Rotella t4/t6 in my semi, mostly t6. I run Rotella in my tractors, both of my Silverado pickups (1994 & 2005). Both of these trucks have had Rotella since I bought them new. Since I have a lot of equipment I buy 55-gallon drums of Rotella for fairly cheap. I even like using the Rotella in my new zero-turn lawn mower and back in the day I used it in circle track racecars.

[@garycarpenter2932]

just a thanks for the memory. in the 70's my dad would use nothing but havoline. i know, it doesn't apply anymore. but i asked him why. he just said it's the only oil i'm not allowed to use at work. he worked at pontiac engineering as a 'mechanic'. he built the prototype engines, ran them until they blew up, took them apart to find flaws. the oil back then just had less wear on the engines. and their goal was to destroy them. he was really good too. if you seen 'smokey and the bandit' he built that car. two really. got to see them before the movie on bring your kid to work day. i even got to see the fiero when it was a clay model. he hated that car. it's engineering was all wrong. guess the valveoline reminded me. so thanks. and remember, if you love what you do, no matter the work, you never work a day in your life. and seems you're loving it.

@peter the engines my dad built weren't meant for production. it wouldn't have made 'practical sense' production wise. cost effective to build as many as they did on the line. add that to the year it was done.. still the 'gas crisis years'. they were 'factory hot rodded' so to speak. can't remember the difference in the horsepower. it was quite a bit though. the others that were wrecked in the movie were factory. there are video's about one i know of, geez, i might look them up to see the differences myself. been a long time. refresh my memory. with a 😁i got to sit in one of them still in the building. but yes, they were built special.

@peter i'm old now. wish i still had it. it was a one off 'bobber'. 9' long. had the '67' xlch engine. knuckle head. but bored and stroked. even had the heads ported and polished. nothing but frame, gas tank and engine. kick start only. back in '93' my neighbor wanted it. and i wanted his '82' berlinetta camaro. he had the v-6 pulled out, with a 350 turned to a 383 ci stroker in it, with full headers and 3" duals. tranny built, rear end too, and frame even added. it wasn't built for that type of engine. even had the dash lights changed to red . super cool. so we traded. if i'm not mistaken, the bike is, or at least was at finches' in michigan. he wanted the bike too. so if memory serves, finch bought it from him. but might have gave you a helluva run.

[@shawnbianchi-d5z]

I.ve owned GM's for many years. Always have used Valvoline in my GM'/ and now I even have a 299,00 Sienna. Using Valvoline High Mileage. Years ago I bought a brand new 1978 Z28 4 speed 350 Camaro. Went in for my first free oil change. Took it out and drove about 100 miles. Went back to the Dealer and asked what oil they used. They said Quaker State. I said put it back up on the Rack and get that stuff out of there. Could tell I my Brand new car it was running rough. I told them Put Valvoline oil in that Camaro. Smoothed out almost instantly. Been running Valvoline ever since. Especially in my GM vehicles. Great job on this video. Reenforced what I have known all along. The people at Valvoline have Oil down to a Science. Where it can be trusted in any vehicle.

[@popcornzbd]

Thank you, thank you. I can't even express how happy I am with your Valvoline analysis. I've used a lot of different oils, but I'm a Valvoline guy. Trusted and they don't make exorbitant claims. In the race car I would have the valve covers off all the time and would see "varnishing" from other brands. Not Valvoline. I use full syn Valvoline. I'm happy with it and I'm staying. Thank you.

[@NYstranger74]

My Nissan Frontier is all valvoline. Extended protection in the motor, 75-90 full syn in the rear diff, and 80w-90 in the front diff.

Always a penzoil fan when it comes to engine oil, but for atf and gear oil it is valvoline for me. Looks like I’ll be switching everything to valvoline from here on out.

[@packoutjunkie5813]

I switched over from Mobil 1 to Valvoline Extended Protection due to your videos and testing. Thank you. However after this video I might switch back to the standard high mileage. I don’t push my oil change I shoot for 3,000 so I don’t really need the Ext protection. I will burn though what I have stocked up and then switch. Ran Valvoline when I first started driving. I guess I am back.

[@balkanca]

Owning a few older cars, I am pretty old school when it comes to motor oil and prefer to stick to a high SAPS European formula meeting ACEA A3/4 at a bare minimum, but preferably MB Sheet 229.5 and Porsche A40 as well. This means I primarily run Mobil 1 FS 0W-40, but their new "Super Car" formula isn't worth the Buffalo poo on a nickel. I was looking to switch to Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30, but EM managed to foxtrot up that formula up as well, which ultimately means Amsoil Signature Series 0W-40 will be my go to. With that being said, I have been quite pleasantly surprised with Valvoline Euro 5W-40. I bought it to run in a Mitsubishi 6G75 3.8L SOHC V6, which was run on the quite possibly the cheapest oil possible by a previous owner, probably with extended drains, causing a lot of varnish build up in the heads. Paired with an OE Toyo Roki filter, I put the Valvoline in and told my friend to drive it for 3,000 miles. Long story short, we did an oil and filter change after 2,978 miles and I noticed there was now a lot of shiny metal under the valve covers just by looking through the fill hole. The oil came with with a bit of a red tint to it as well. Looking at an oil VOA, it does have a lot of calcium in there (3,000+ ppm), but this was not what I expected from an oil that cost $26 for 5 quarts. After the second oil change, it got better and eventually ended up looked super clean under there. What was supposed to be a "cheap Group III synthetic" turned out to be what my buddy continues to use today after 3 years. Of course I'm looking at only a single aspect here - detergency and cleaning ability - but sometimes what appears to be a mediocre VOA proves otherwise in a real world application.

[@FordBossMe]

So this is where we need to look at detergent different there's too much bad information on the internet and calcium and magnesium are not going to clean what's already done to the engine it's going to keep things from getting worse but it is not going to actually clean and I think that's where people get hung up

[@balkanca]

Correct, there's more to cleaning than just CA and MG alone. For instance, GTL and esters have great cleaning abilities, which is where Red Line and some Mobil 1 and Pennzoil products shine. That said, I would love to find out what base oil blend Valvoline uses in its Euro 5W-40. The MSDS only tells part of the story.

[@angrygaragemechanic]

By looking at a VOA, your not going to see the complete formulation of an oil.

[@shawna7813]

Exactly. Valvoline uses ashless anti wear additives that do not show up on a UOA and VOA..

[@KaayJaay]

Just subbed! Awesome pro tips. Typically do Valvoline conventional oil at 3,750 per my suv recommend interval. End of this year, as it will be 15 years old (original owner) I’ll do Valvoline synthetic (thanks for the 5,000 recommendation)!! It’s my first time going synthetic. Will be at 95,000

but i would get super tech advanced synthetic for less than 20 bucks a jug and be happy and change it at 5k miles and thats only cuz my truck is turbocharged otherwise i'd go 7k miles

[@HMuny55]

What most armchair chemists dont and cant calculate based off these very very limited oil analysis is the quality of the base oil and its ability to perform the functions additives are intended to supplement. An oil with an impressive additive package likely has that extreme amount of additives to actually meet the grade requirements. Mobil 1 has low additives... while also being the worlds leading producer of petroleum, the top earning company in the world, and having a completely vertically integrated ownership from production to refining to marketing end products. They can literally produce the best refined products in the world in house. Valvoline has to go out on the market and obtain contracts for base oil supply as they ONLY blend and market motor oil... that might be a large reason why its stuffed with moly.

[@FordBossMe]

You are preaching to the choir this video has literally thousands of watched hours on oil and I've already explained these things so you're wasting your time

[@FordBossMe]

Secondly I've also covered that mobile it's not a bad oil it just wears out really quick from the experience that I've had in my V8 and I leave it at that people can do what they want but it just so happens that thousands upon thousands of people that have followed my advice by walking away from mobile have benefited great

I'm curious because the numbers also looked better on the sheet you called 'high mileage', but may have been the 'extended protection high mileage' based on the analysis sheet labels - the first having 'extended protection' listed in the additional info and the other sheet did not.

To be honest im not super picky about the brand of oil I mainly use Fram 5W30 Full Synthetic to me it’s more about how often you change your oil (every 3-5K miles) then getting the best quality oil and filter and thinking they can go 10K miles between oil changes

[@FordBossMe]

Yes and no that's not completely true what you're saying and you know what I get a kick out of is instead of you asking me what my thoughts are you're telling me what or how things are and I wish you would ask more questions instead of saying this is why because there's not a lot of you that have as much experience as me doing this and I'm telling you your general thought process it's okay but it's not actually even close to the reality of how things are with engine oils and yes your way does work but again it's not nowhere near close to the reality of how engine oils actually work and the quality of them

It's right there with it the only reason the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is not as high with the additive pack it's because they use a gas to liquid formula so it's 99.5% cleaner and more pure than most oils so they don't need as much additive pack but I would be tempted to possibly say that I like both about the same

Personally most impressed by the Valvoline Advanced for under 75,000 miles and High Mileage MaxLife for above that. Obviously you could just use the high mileage stuff if you want but I like the balanced add pack, viscosity, and flashpoint of the advanced while also being so readily available for even 0w-16 oils like some of the new Toyotas in my life. Just changed a 2014 Sienna with 120k miles using the high mileage maxlife 0w-20 (super affordable which is awesome) because your videos turned me onto the advanced. Definitely glad I bought some after seeing the oil analysis and thanks so much for making these videos.

Same. I ran extended protection in my Silverado this last go around, but think I’m a high mileage synthetic guy now. No reason not to. Valvoline has always done so great in our vehicles, I can’t complain on any of them, but why not use the best/most sensible

[@Michigander-5.3]

I just did I an oil change on my 23’ Civic Sport! I’m running 0W-20 Valvoline extended protection high mileage ultra max life with Marvel Mystery oil synthetic and a Purolator boss oil filter!

[@LA_Commander]

I've found Valvoline to always be a reliable, good oil. For some reason, I seem to normally use another brand oil for my motor oil on my car (I typically get what's on sale), but then I use Valvoline on my motorcycle, Valvoline for my rear differential, and Valvoline for my manual transmission and automatic transmission. Go figure, lol.

[@danh8539]

I like Pennzoil ultra platinum the best from store bought oils. But Valvoline is right there with it so you can't go wrong with either one

[@bryanCLXT]

Exactly why I'm here going to pick up both and two oil filters and do a switch and record results

[@edwardlujan1325]

Penzoil and valvoline are king when it comes for best bang for your buck

[@allhemi1222]

I have been using Pennzoil platinum in the wife’s jeep grand Cherokee with a 3.6 pentastar engine and from here on out I will be using the Valvoline advance. I have sent both too Blackstone labs and the Valvoline just looks a lot better to me.

[@genehart261]

I did something nice for my old Tacoma today. 355,000 miles and I haven't changed the oil in 2 years, 10,000+ miles. Shame on me!!! After watching your videos I put in the Valvoline advanced full synthetic hi mileage oil, old Taco seems very happy and I won't abuse it so badly from now on.

[@patrickm2031]

I was a Mobil 1 guy more so due to advertising than being a fan boy. I watched all of your oil uploads several times and finally went to Valvoline high mileage that you suggested in the video. I just wanted to say thanks for all the effort! I’m analytical, so when you laid out the hard numbers it was easy to go with what you suggested. Oh and I’ve been looking for your link to help you with the future test cost. I would like to give back to keep you going.

[@nicolem.792]

Another great test! For a minute, thought Valvoline wasn’t among THE BEST since Walmart always carries it cheap. After looking into it, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s among the best for sure. Between Supertech (which has gone up a lot recently for a no name oil) and Valvoline, Walmart is doing a great job!

[@bryangodfrey6397]

Week That's why I shop there. I get the pennzoil high mileage platinum with the ultra synthetic fram filter. I looked at prices at O'Reillys, and it was like $2 difference. So it counts especially when I need food.

[@robertleftwich1122]

Walmart doesn’t carry Valvoline 0-16 and I’m tried of the high- mileage stuff, this oil looks great and it’s probably the best next to the Toyota 0-16 . Don’t go over 6,000 miles on a oil change. I’ve been changing oil at 3,500 miles. Even if people are planning on selling their cars after 3 to 6 years, it’s immoral to pass on car to someone, a car that has gone over 10,000 miles without an oil change, that’s my opinion .. Don’t listen to ads that say their oil is made to go 20k, that’s ridiculous .

[@bryangodfrey6397]

@@robertleftwich1122 most I do is 5k miles on oil. That's why I'm critical when I'm looking at cars people are selling. Half the time I don't go through with the sell because something is not wrong.

[@movingapollo1927]

Valvoline is more expensive than Mobil 1 where I live

[@bobjohnson205]

"Something is not wrong". Isn't that a good thing? 🤔@@bryangodfrey6397

[@aaronc.2709]

Yes! The vid I been waiting for. Been watching your channel the last few years and the oil vids always had me wondering how mine stacked up or if I should change. Got my 2014 f150 ecoboost a few years back at 100k miles and been running valvoline full synthetic high milage the last 25k changing every 5k. Fellow vet, keep doing the great job you're doing in life! Appreciate all the videos

[@FordBossMe]

Thanks for finally leaving a comment brother I appreciate it

[@caseih-pz9vp]

THANKYOU! I have been running Valvoline Advance in my GM truck and thinking about thinking about switching to their high milage and this made my mind up to do it. I run Valvoline because it uses less oil between oil changes than Mobile One I put Pennzoil Platinum once and with less than 500 mile the oil turned very dark black. So I went back to Valvoline. I agree 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGES.

[@howdareyu]

It's possible it was black from cleaning out the engine though, so now I wonder is the made from natural gas oil better at cleaning and suspending contaminants...I'll have to do some research. M1 does seem to get dark a bit fast too, also could be heat cycles. Switching to Valvoline though next oil change.

[@BeardedFordTech]

That high mileage one has a lot of zinc like you said almost like racing oil. Or the Amsoil Zrod for classic cars. Interesting results.

[@troublemakingpups5787]

Talked me right into purchasing the red jug of Valvoline High Mileage. 😊🐶

[@michaelhungate7506]

This makes me feel good about using Val fs hm 0w20 in my oil change on my 2003 F150. It has 413,000 on it and this is the first high mileage oil ive used in it. It runs smooth and quiet like always. It has the 5.4 2 valve, and has never needed any internal work. As a matter of fact its all original except the alternator and heater hose ( of course except tune ups and a ptfe? valve, brakes, maintenance) .

[@flimflam6547]

Why do you use 0w20 on your 5.4 2v?

[@michaelhungate7506]

@flimflam6547 the 0 weight oils get to the vital parts on startup much faster than a 5 would. The truck has 419,000 miles on it now and I'm on my second oil change with the 0w20 and will not be changing back to 5w20. The 520 is fine, I just prefer to use a thin oil to circulate the oil faster on a dry startup. Actually the high mileage version of any oil is the thickest in that grade so the 20 is a thick 20. I never knew that for example a 5w20 oil varies in thickness from a thin 520 to a mid weight 520 to a heavyweight 520 . This is with all modern oils.

[@flimflam6547]

@@michaelhungate7506 I’ve had the same concern about dry starts, specifically the timing chain, with my 5.4 2v that has 309k miles, I’ll consider doing that aswell. Give an update if you experience any catastrophic failures anytime soon lol.

[@michaelhungate7506]

@flimflam6547 so far, purrs like always. If you're engine is in good shape, it should be fine. Your at 309,000, that's an accomplishment! I used to use 20% marvel mystery oil in with 530, which works fine too. With the marvel in it, I figured it thinned it down to a 2?/25? or something like that. I'm not a great mechanic or anything like that but I do know how to maintain an engine. Also, with having an F150 of this model, there are plenty of forums on everything about them. Oil forums are very informative. Bob's the oil guy is one. These new oils with the GF6A rating are supposed to be ideal for timing chains and the plastic guides

[@GeloNegron]

Thats what I use on all my whips and all my friends whips as well. Valvoline Full Synthetic High Milage. Extra detergents even if the car has 0 miles, I dont care. If its a European model I use the same just the Euro version. I wanna start looking into the racing stuff for my full out custom whips with serious engine work. Oh, on my 0w20 cars I still use Valvoline but 0w30. Dont see a lot of the problems that people claim with just using 20 viscosity.

[@bobimbordino3024]

Valvoline is a great oil. It’s my first choice then Pennzoil ultra is my second choice if I can’t get valvoline. You changed my views on Pennzoil. Thank you for your testing on oils. It’s greatly appreciated. Love you brother

[@TwilightZoneX]

Very interesting. I have to try to go back to the Pennzoil ultra Platinum and compare to Valvoline synthetic high mileage. Curious which would be preference.

[@cr2158]

Another great informative video rich I switched to the advanced in my 2011 Cadillac SRX it seems much quieter on start up and smoother acceleration

[@wildman9364]

looks like a good oil that ultra HM, I have always used either valvoine/penzoil or quaker state full syn what ever is on sale. I have always recommended the 3-5k oil change in cars cause its more about run time then miles can be harder to track on cars. I switched over to trucks/heavy equipment repair 6 years ago and I would say 250-350 hours dont like to push past 350 hours on oil regardless of miles. knock out of the park oil videos as well as your other ones too cheers

[@JeffWagner-lp3zl]

Been using valvoline 10w30 full synthetic high mileage since my Ram was new. The Cummins motor now has 685,344 miles the head was off at around 500,000 for a head gasket. You could still see the factory cross hatches in the cylinder, oil pressure hot runs around 41psi.

[@bdtaylor1979]

I’ve been a long time Mobil 1 and Valvoline synthetic oil. Recently I switched to Pennzoil Platinum synthetic in my 07 Avalanche because of the occasional lifter tap from the junk afm crap. I feel like it makes a big difference. Next time I will try Pennzoil Ultra Platinum synthetic and hopefully it works even better. In my 14 Chevy Cruze I’m currently using Mobil 1 high mileage synthetic because I already have a couple gallons of it on hand. My honest opinion on Amsoil is it’s overpriced and overrated. I know it’s a good oil but but like you said I don’t think you get what you pay for with the price and extra work required to just find the oil. Also like you I don’t like going more than 5k miles on an oil change and so that’s another reason why Amsoil doesn’t work for me. I don’t care what the manufacturer says, I don’t trust an oil in my engine for 20k-25k miles like Amsoil claims.

[@darksolara6750]

Great videos as always man… Hey out of all those what would you choose for a vehicle older of course runs great but burns about a quart every thousand miles… With the ingredient combination being something that leans in the direction of possibly slowing that down I understand the full synthetic and all that stuff behind that is not exactly the greatest either but I don't mind and little bit if I can get maximal protection and performance of the engine… Thank you for your response

[@OFLHLGZ28]

The ingredients sound more like a vitamin I should be taking….

[@NO-END]

I love valvoline motor oil. I started with maxlife 30 years ago have not looked back very long engine life.

[@jakefx4]

can you make a video like this showing the differences between all the types of pennzoil.
