Pennzoil Ultra Platinum vs Valvoline Restore and Protect next!! The ultimate showdown!
-
I appreciate you doing all this for us mere mortals. I've been a hot rodder for years (40+). I've always understood the importance of oil, now I'm understanding the science. Knowledge is power.
-
The Pennzoil Ultra Platinum has continually shown itself to be one of the best oils out there for many years now. This is just another example showing how good it is. I've had good luck with it running hot and hard in a supercharged mustang on road courses for years. In the summer heat I'd get oil temperatures close to 300°F and I'd feel so bad for the car but it kept coming back for more and whenever I'd tear into the motor and inspect, bearing and cylinder surfaces looked brand new.

Ran a 1100 cc FIRE engine with Castrol Magnatec 10W40. When the car went to get Stage 1 owner of the shop asked me which oil I used (?). Castrol Magnatec. He was noticeable surprised and said '...because at 120000 km the grooves of factory honing are still clearly visible!'. Well that surprised me as well.
-
It was you that converted me from Super Tech to Valvoline. Seeing what they do to test their oils gave me confidence is using their oil for the first time
-
Thank you for doing this research independently so that us plebs in the public can benefit without any advertising bs. Please keep it up
-
I would love a comparison between Pennzoil UP and Valvoline RP, considering changing to restore and protect from ultra platinum
-
YASSSS, the motor oil god has answered my prayer. I really love this video! After watching all of the other videos on additives, detergents, oil breakdown, and how base oil affects your motor oil, I think this video really takes it all and puts it together for you to understand how all these variables in your oil affect your engine. Truly amazing work! I really love the content. I just bought a new CX-5, and I’m using all this to have a longevity protocol for my car. This content is very valuable. You're a god amongst men sir.

Loving the Ultra Plat. When I do my oil changes at 5-6k miles it still looks basically new.
-
Can you do a similar analysis of what is best for direct injection daily drivers? I have my first DI car (NA) and because of the years of good reviews on Platinum, I put that in. But just as I did that, the new Restore and Protect came out which also sounds good due to extra cleaning. With my older engines and Mobil 1 0W40, I never had any wear nor cleanliness issues. Now I not only need low wear, but also more cleaning and more pre ignition protection. Thank you for the great info you provide!

Found out about how good Mobil ESP is on BITOG forums. Switched to the 5W-30 ESP and do oil analysis every oil change and results have been outstanding. Extremely low wear metals. Not sure if it's possible to get any lower. I'm happy with it.🤙

Thank you for all the great info, Lake. This is my go-to channel for all things engine oil.
-
15 quarts of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum for $70? Can't beat it!
-
I truly appreciate the work that has gone into your research. What my takeaway from this is that no particular oil is an all around "Best" oil but rather there are oils that suit one engine better than another. For my purposes as a daily driver, I just stick to regular oil changes and have not been disappointed in over 50 years of driving.
-
That’s funny, project farm did a great video as well, and I’ve been using Pennzoil ultra platinum. Amsoil performed a bit better overall, but it was so similar to the Pennzoil for so much cheaper. I can usually find a Pennzoil ultra platinum for pretty cheap at Walmart and now it’s all I run in my jaguar XF 5.0 my Jetta 2.5, and then my Ford fusion sport. Excellent oil👌💯
-
Have been waiting for your analysis of the Mobil 1 0W40 Supercar oil. Look forward to the follow-up vid. Congrats on a well-deserved over 100,000 subs 🎉
-
Great video Lake!! Thanks for all your hard work!
-
I love this channel! Commenting just to drive up engagement. Really like the emphasis on the double flush for these test. Absolute truth. Amsoil and the newly popular Prolube oil additive test would make for some high click videos. Thanks Lake!
-
From an m96 owner thank you Lake! Can’t wait till the next vid to hear your conclusion!! Get out and drive the wombat!!
-
Please explain and test race, API and small engine oils to see which is best for air cooled small engines. No one ever talks about the best oils for mowers and pumps and generators and power equipment!
