The latest, greatest, CHEAPEST synthetic oil

Screw synthetic, just keep your oil changed and run a good filter.
 
Project farm. I like that guy. I watch many of his you tube videos.The best is he does these tests on his own and not sponsored by any company.

I like him too. I think he gives real honest comparisons.

I don't know man, I agree with this about LA motors.
I'll spare ya the red X, but I think newer motors with better tolerances and thinner rings should run what they were designed to run.
I run the Full Synthetic 5-30 Castrol Edge Titanium for $17.39 plus tax for the 5 quart jug.

Specs are part way down the page.

Well sure, the newer stuff needs what it was designed for! Since when have you known me to show a real interest in anything "new"? You know I am all about old stuff.......like me. lol
 
i agree with Rusty.Regular inexpensive Dino oil is fine.Just change it before it gets too dirty!
 
I don't want Dexos oil in my Mopar but it would be a great deal for the guys with late model GM stuff.

This new brand is made by the same outfit that makes the Wally World Super Tech and that's a good oil. Plus it's API certified so it's been tested by professionals not some guy who's got a hotplate and drank too much caffiene.

Now I see he has a one-armed-bandit tester which is a totally useless piece of junk...

Am I the only one who is beginning to dislike this youtube guy? His tests remind me of Consumer Reports... now I buy anything that is NOT tested by CI. And I never trust anything from a guy who wears rubber gloves when he works on cars.

I sometimes wear rubber gloves when I work on my car. It's a Ziebart car, so that's my excuse. :D

Yea, I saw that.
Don't get me wrong, I don't try to buy the best oil on the market.
Just the one I have trusted for decades and not ever had an oil related failure with.
Kinda like NGK plugs.:D

LOL, Dexos is just a spec GM came up with, not an additive or anything like it.
 
For the price, it's about the least expensive oil to meet the GM standard. I will have to tell the Missus to get a few for the Forester. Buy a bunch while it's cheap. Not like it's gonna go bad.

I did, and thought there was a lot to be desired in his testing.
Sure is a lot goofy **** in the marketing world.

If you put enough metal on the end of your plug it will raise your compression for better performance.:D

I had a dual overhead cam hemi design head Fiat Spyder a long time ago around when those Iridium plugs came out.
I normally ran NGK's in it but fell for the marketing BS.
Sure, maybe the electrode might last longer if it ran, but that motor wouldn't even start with those in it, just pop spit and sputter.
Put the used NGK's back and it ran perfect again.

I always thot them to be snake oil, but the e 3 plugs got better gas mileage than anything else . That being said , the arc is going to go to the closest ground on any of them.
I`m running ngk`s too-------------

Hard to beat GM's HEI and .050 gaped NGK's.
Funny how no one gives me grief over my passenger side inner fender mounted Nissan windshield washer tank, but flips out about the GM HEI.:D
