Let's find out if SuperTech's motor oil (5,000 mile, 10,000 mile, 10,000 High Mileage, and 20,000 mile) are the same oil. All four oils tested were sent to an independent oil lab for oil analysis. I tested oils for evaporative loss, lubricity or film strength, cold oil flow both new oil and after exposure to heat. Additionally, in a final test, the 20,000 mile oil is exposed to 10% gasoline to see the impact it has on lubricity or oil performance. I always buy all of the products tested to ensure unbiased test results. So, thank you for supporting the channel.

  • What struck me about this channel a year ago or so, is that this would have been a TV show just 15 years ago. The quality of content is much higher than what used to be available to us.
  • @veridico84
    Ah, a return to the oil testing. My favourite episodes.
  • @mikeschmidt4800
    Yes! We've got the Walmart brand oils tested against each other. I've wanted to know about this since they introduced them. Thank you Project Farm!
  • @hkk3656
    5,000 miles is the maximum I go between oil and filter changes. Nice test!
  • @LTrain1971
    I can't even guess how many items I have purchased only after watching your testing videos over the past few years. You make it so much easier to make educated purchases that avoid spending too much as well as avoiding products that just don't live up to the marketing claims. Thank you for you amazing contributions to society, sir!
  • @rossb5593
    I think the oil test comparisons are my favorite. Such a crucial item for our every day lives.
  • @maximusvk19
    We need the oil testing videos every one or two years! Great to watch and always to the point. Every second is watchable thanks to the solid edit!
  • @markothevrba
    One of the highest quality channels on YouTube, easily. So much work goes into these to produce a 10 minute video and not a second of those 10-15 minutes is wasted. Now that I have a child I don't have much time to watch YouTube videos, but this channel is the one I will always watch. Good job and keep up the great work!
  • @tooljst8
    15 years ago, I would change my oil every 3,000 miles. Now, I use mostly synthetic and try not to go past 5,000. Nice testing, brother! Keep em coming!
  • @wmrayburn7620
    As an ex professional motorcycle gear head (late 70s ) I want to thank you Todd for awesome content and commitment to quality reporting.
  • @Breeze210
    You are my favorite channel on YouTube because you just get straight to the point and no BS. Excellent video editing as well
  • @welding_guy7524
    Although I forget and end up binging, I really appreciate the work you do for us viewers.. you are thorough and professional yet do your testing beyond what a normal use should be..
  • @mikalokasso
    It’s crazy how many products follow a normal distribution for quality. Cheap is bad, expensive is overpriced, middle of the pack is good and the pricing is decent. Also it was interesting to see how big the gap between 5K and 10K is
  • @bumrocky
    I love the frozen oil races. He makes it so exciting. Who knew you'd be rooting for an oil to finish? Love these oil comparison vids.
  • @alfontana6242
    Thankyou and I am sure all of us thank you for your professional evaluation you perform on all the products you test you cover all the aspects for a 100% true evaluation and comparison in your reviews. Of all the you youtube channels none, and I mean none, can compare with your testing and evaluations.
  • It would be interesting to see the difference in the wear scars when compared to a “control” that is either completely dry, or maybe only water, or something else not necessarily designed to prevent wear such as vegetable oil.
  • @timokayz
    Absolutely one of my favorite channels. I appreciate your attention to practical testing. A man that switches coffee pots on burners every ten minutes for 2 hours deserves a lot of respect for diligence. I also admire that you note that the sound of the bearing is something you pay attention to when comparing. You are a real mechanic.
  • Todd, Have you considered doing a test on the independent oil testing facilities to see how consistent they are amongst samples of the same oil?
  • @stampedetrail2003
    I usually end up doing an oil change around 3-4k miles or every 12 months whichever comes first. This channel answers so many questions, thank you.
  • @jeffclarke5497
    Thanks again for some nice comparison testing. Great work. I'm with you on change intervals. If you are going to keep a vehicle, regular and relatively frequent oil changes, even with 'lower end" oils is more likely to keep you happy.
