I Compared 10 Synthetic Oils… and the Results Were Shocking!
Video Overview & Insights
Everyone swears their favorite synthetic oil is the best—but very few people actually put them to the test.
Stupid royal purple is inferior to liqui molly molygen. There us vide of burn of mollygen and royal purple. You can also try millers
So we did.
In this video, we compare 10 of the most popular synthetic engine oils using real testing data, including:
What about Honda oil? You didn’t mention that product or its equivalent! What’s up with that?
✔️ Viscosity breakdown
✔️ Additive strength
You spoke of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum but the video showed Pennzoil Platinum.
✔️ Cold start performance
✔️ Wear protection
Yes I noticed the oil with water in it also must be a blown head gasket or cracked head or block
✔️ Detergent and cleaning ability
✔️ Extreme heat resistance
How bizarre is this. The narrative does not match the images. Whilst talking about one particular brand the images often show a different brand.
Some brands performed far better than expected…
Others failed shockingly fast—and could be damaging engines long-term.
Last I knew if original penzoil was heated to a certain temperature certain ingredients separate out causing cloudiness floating around in the oil.
Whether you drive daily, tow heavy, motorcycle ride, or do high-performance driving, choosing the right oil can mean the difference between:
🛠️ Engine lasting 300k miles
SORRY ULTRA MOLY from Germany is THE BEST
or
💀 A destroyed engine before 100k.
super tech is made by the same people who make mobil 1

Can thr Mobil. 1 cab be used in moto cycle where the clutch uses the same oil??
More User Perspectives
i wondered where my AMSOIL would fit . not cheap but at 10 000 miles the oil test kit results were great . RAM 2500 HD super crew used for towing and carrying forestry parts or equipment between -45 and + 90 no issues .
@gordonmorris751Walmart Tech is just fine if you change your oil at 5000 or less mile intervals , 10,000 miles is idiocy !
@TT64NOVASSI will stay with the Motor Oil Geek Guru for oil advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@roncadorette4081No explanation of testing procedures. This review suggests that they took engines completely apart many times just for on oil and did it for each oil presented. That's 100's of hours on each oil. Not likely.
@DrCHO-xx6gzSo we just have to take your word for all this supposed testing... all i hear is a very well researched monolog and no actual test data!?!?
@Rotary1146Castrol edge 5w50 is my favorite
@AngelAlejandroAnguianoCan someone recommend the best oil for a Volvo xc90?
@Deablo-h2pIf do this ranking i will put mobil one #9 and Pennzoil #2 amzoil #1, mobil one has very low numbers and every detergent, 89molybdenun, and 75 boron where is the engine protection I think supertech do better, Valvoline make the best balance oil in the market ,using Valvoline every 5000 miles or 6 months will be more than fine
@elrudo2gamesThese oil videos are just whoever made the video preferences only. if you watch these videos, you'll go crazy and every oils is rate different. Lol
@danethao7744I use mobile 1 advanced formula. Wix filters...great combo
@markhansen3111Why show Pennzoil when your talking about another oil?
@dallasjolley1Have used SuperTeck synthetic for years. No problems. Under 20 dollars 5 qt container Walmart.
@arvbergstedt3303I'm just watching the video. Just a bit of a comment: at the beginning you said you tested 8 synthetic motor oils, but in the initial image there are 7 oils, and 4 of them are not synthetic.
@BernyNoonequaker state ultimate synthetic is great oil after 500 k miles engine , valves, pistons were almost like new, look at video on qs use on nyc taxi cabs
@BillyLawingsNever run oils pat 5K miles. Oil filters will plug, even if the oil hassnt broke down. Change oil when if warm, allows heavy contaminates to drain. Skip most budget oils. Vavoline and Pensoil are solid. More advanced oils are now onthe market. Ansoil and Liqui Moly. They test out very high. A quality oil filter is vital, ones made for full synthetics.
@edward-wr2ehThis video to me is just that a video with opinions not actual testing done looking at the video shows a lot of photos of engines and somebody painting a car ?? I would not give this video as one I would consider for helping people choose a engine oil
@robertclark7848Very informative comparison with surprising and well-explained results.
Great breakdown that helps viewers understand synthetic oils better.
This video was paid for by _______?
@jb678901amsoil the best of them all no more no less
@jdguzman881Shell HX8 ultra 5W 30 is no 1 👌🏻
What about Total energies oil from France & Petrovol from Germany...?
Blah blah blah. NO labs results and endless video loop showing the same thing.
@djdoctorstyleI use Amsoil and add molly and zink to it..... Mustang GTcoyote - Power 650HP Ninja zX 12r 230HP 76 Gran Torino Big Block 429 525HP
@cjune215-6k mis w/ full synthetic oil. 3-5k mis w/ Semi-Synthetic oil. Easy.
@Davido50Where's the shock result ... u buy a cheaper syn oil u change it out sooner ... u buy the most expensive u change it out less ... no true loser or winner of any including those not listed AND same goes for the filters ... thou personally ... stay away from synthetics 'unless' owner manuals specify their usage AND advise strict use of K&N filters or highest quality of other brands ... AND don't do the skip ... changing filters every other oil changeout.
As for BIKES ... for all year Harleys : RevTech Pure (non-syn) OR Castrol Actevo (syn blend) OR RedLine (syn) 20w50's along 'again' with only K&N filters.
In the primaries (chain or belt driven) ... RedLine VTwin Primary Lube OR Revtech Primary Lube.
In the trannys ... RedLine OR RevTech Transmission Lube OR Quicksilver Hypoid Gear OIl 80w90.
RevTech products maybe harder to find ... Quicksilvers made by MercuryMarine. Other 4-strokes : RedLine OR Quicksilvers recommended.
AND screw the myth of 'changing chit per mileage traveled' ... fact is : it's time NOT distance ... more times spent idling OR simply not driven than most others.
All vehicles 'should' b equipped with hour meters and date calendars ... more so than odometers.
* Notta lube xpert here ... these r personal recommendations resulting from 60 years of trials n errors ... AND I'm not 60 sonny.
Good day to all.
I have been using nothing but Supertech in my 2005 Prius since I bought it 5 years ago with 200k. Today, it has over 500,000 miles on it and it's still running fine. I don't tow and I change the oil frequently...most of the time.
@garyslavinsky4201I run Rotela in my 4 wheeler, mustang Gt and gmc serria, lawnmower you name it!! Have more protection in summer and well I deluded some in the winter time
@James870ArkfanI think the biggest thing people get wrong is using those super thin oils, that are recommended because auto manufacturers use them to meet mileage targets and to long of oil change intervals.
@jaycyclingInteresting fact:
No mention of how these tests were performed
No mention of who performed these tests
No data shown on the results mentioned
In other words, I guess we have to take the word of a completely unidentified stranger on the internet
😂😂😂😂
At the beginning all Synthetic oil rated for 20 k miles , but then the mechanics started to tell people to change oil every 3-5 k miles so they have more work . From the year 80 -is to the early 2.000 the Toyota Honda 3.8L gm 5.7 Chevy , still lasted 250-350 k miles with conventional 10:w30 oil . We can’t see this with the newer cars or trucks!!! Hahaha it’s called precision engineering .
@Francis7BrbcsI used Teck Wallmart oil in my Saturn 3.0 v6 and after 26000 75% high speed highway miles the oil was still good
@Francis7BrbcsI use Amsoil and change every 10,000 miles. No problems so far. It may cost twice as much but I'm doing 1/3 the changes.
@GrowLLLTigeRRR👍
@WoodDragonGuyI see no one in this video knows how to pour oil
@tonycpewilsonUsed Castrol in all my vehicles for 50 years ( cars and motorbikes ), all done high mileage with no problem. Anyone leaving oil in the engine for too long is asking for trouble, short runs are hard on oil so you need to make more oil changes if your car only goes to the shops and back, motorway miles are good for engine and oil.
@chrissmith2114No other tester including Lake the oil guy has found anything wrong with super tech synthetic oil in fact it performs almost as well as mobile one or any other brand so I think this is mostly horseshit click bait bull
@larryordine7542Woth about oil for disel motor?
@bennybeljan2973why were the cars going backwards in that one shot?
@marceldagenais1893I use supertech advance high mileage with hot shot stiction eliminator. Pretty much zero varnish or any build up when I pulled the valve cover at over 200k. currently have 320k on the engine and I lose about a quart of oil every 10k...I try to change the oil every 7500 miles but usually closer to 10k smh 😅
@christenweber559If tests is the way to pick your oil then the ultimate test was the mobile 1 challenge. Mobile 1 took new New York cabs measured internal moving parts. Full synthetic was used for 100,000 miles without change the engines were taken apart remeasured and no significant where was detected. If you're like me you do your own test. I would leave work at 5 travel 45 miles at 85-109 mph pull into gas station pull my dip stick wipe with fingers and not to hot to touch. If you like recommendations from experts. Corvette, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus all recommend mobile 1 pure synthetic. I drove my car hard and had 268,000 miles on it and it ran like new.
@MarkGranger-e4zIt's a gimmick, I've always used cheap oil up to 250K miles, I drive for Uber and Lyft. Honda and Nissan engines don't care, the cars wear out not the engines
