Are All Motor Oils the Same? Let’s Find Out!


Summary

The video dives into a detailed comparison of motor oils for aviation, motorcycle, diesel, and gasoline engines through various tests. Samples are sent to a testing lab, and oil flow, cold temperature performance, wear protection, evaporation rate, and detergent dispersing content are evaluated. The importance of oil composition, additives, and overall performance characteristics are emphasized based on the test results, providing valuable insights for engine maintenance and longevity.


Introduction

Discussion on the differences between motor oils for aviation, motorcycle, diesel, and gasoline engines. Introduction of the test to compare oil types in extreme conditions.

Oil Sampling

Sending off oil samples to a testing lab, shaking the oil containers to avoid settling, and preparing for detailed analysis later in the video.

High Temperature Viscosity

Testing oil flow characteristics in a warmed-up engine at around 85°F and comparing different oil types for performance.

Cold Temperature Test

Testing oil samples at -40°C to evaluate performance in extremely cold temperatures.

Engine Wear Test

Comparing oils for wear protection using test pins and evaluating wear scars to determine the best performing oil.

Evaporation Test

Conducting a 2-hour evaporation test to assess oil volatility and comparing the results of different oil types.

Additive Analysis

Analyzing the detergent dispersing content, anti-wear additives, and overall performance characteristics of various oil types.

Conclusion

Summarizing the findings of the oil tests and discussing the importance of oil composition and additives in determining performance.
