I want to say Project Farm spent way more time than most people can imagine for these testing. Freezing oil takes 24hr, cook test are 120 mins , wear testing 10 mins, oil race, and running in small engines, AND he didn't just step away and wait for timers. He took temps of each test and rotate oil pots as the time are running!!!! Oh yea and sending oil to labs probably also take a few days... After videos is done, there editings...

The green hue is actually a good thing! It means it is real Pennsylvania Grade Crude oil. It's green because the oil has a low asphalt content. Back when there were lots of conventional oil wells in Pennsylvania, the oil usually had this green hue. It also tended to have the right hydrocarbon lengths to be optimized for lubrication. There wasn't much refining necessary. That's why two major lubricating oil brands, Quaker State and Pennzoil, have their roots in PA. Sunoco also got started with lubricating oil in PA but quickly diversified into fuel oil in other states. Nowadays, most crude from Pennsylvania is fracked directly out of the Marcellus shale; the green stuff usually migrated out of the Marcellus and into reservoir rocks like limestone. The shale oil is black. But I've seen the green oil, especially a few times where my rig was drilling for gas around old conventional wells. And I'm sure Pennzoil and Quaker State get oil from all over the place, because they're brands, not companies. Oil can come in all kinds of colors besides black.

The reason you saw no weight grade on the can was the rust. They marked the top of the can. Back in the day of single weight oils you ran 10s and 20s in the winter and 30s and 40s summer based on your operation zone. If it was a detergent oil or nondetergent it was on the top too. Can sides were universal labeling with only the top being the varying label component.

As the scar gets larger, the bearing surface is larger, thus the psi load is lessened meaning the oil isn’t stressed as much. A smaller scar may mean a substantially higher load bearing oil in this example as it’s smaller load bearing surface represents a substantially higher psi loading. Whatcha think?

Another amazing production analysis. I remember seeing that green Quaker State vintage mid 1960's! It was greenish and did have an SAE rating at the time. There were Detergent and non detergent types. I recall non detergent was recommended for older engines so as not to dissolve or stir up to many engine deposits, I recon!

I remember using that kind of oil in the 60’s, with those kind of cans you had this metal spout that you could push into the can so you didn’t need a funnel. Most of the cars back then seemed to burn oil as there always seemed to be this big blue cloud of smoke coming out of the tail pipe when you started the car. Also we usually did our own oil changes but would just dig a hole under the car/truck and drain the oil into the ground, kind of like returning it to where it came from I guess ;)

Worked in a full service Standard Station in the early 60s. It was common to remove the drain plug and nothing came out. Push a screw driver on and a couple of quarts came out. The boss would say put some kerosene in and let it run. Probably made things worse. When you overhauled an engine you spent more time cleaning the engine than anything. My uncle went to a Shell station for their multi Grade oil change. He said it always uses a quart of oil then doesn't use any more until the next oil change. I realize now that about 1qt evaporated.

I remember selling those cans of Quaker State and Wolfs Head. When it was very cold you could not pour it from the can with just a church key hole in it. You had to have the full spout and then wait 5 minutes . And to think people added STP to this stuff. Engines had bigger oil lines but bearing clearances are essentially the same. Those were the days when an average engine life was about 100K before a rebuilt was needed. Now a well designed engine can last 300k+ and never have the crankcase split. Even the incredibly more complex valve trains hold up amazingly well. It appears the newer oils are responsible for at least part of this longevity.

Agreed. Please be sure to check about a permit. Some local municipalities have ordinances on, “Altitude and distance of test.” Stick to 0w maybe a 5w at first then once you have it down, start pushing that 10w and so on. Good luck...

Kind of what you're saying is this oil was never "good" to start with. But still retained what little quality it had.

You can buy old unopened cans of oil on eBay. They're not that rare yet.

I think some of the issue with the old oil is age related breakdown, especially of any additives in it, nothing lasts forever and things like paints, stains, chemicals and oils all have a shelf life

Back in the 1960's this is the only oil my dad used.This and a container of STP. Everyone talked about how it sludged up your engine, but our cars always went well over 100,000 miles a high number during that time. Dad passed away 35 years ago. I still have the spout he used that not only opened the metal can but was the pouring spout as well.

Believe it or not the last time I was in South Africa (2015) they STILL did it like this. There were advertisements for the brand new plastic bottle like we are familiar with though. They also still use leaded gas.

It kind of makes sense because they've never heard of self-service there... you pull up to a pump and about 20 guys are jumping all over your car. They want tips, of course. It's really annoying to be honest.

I work in an oil lab and i was surprised how you simulated tests like volatility loss, cold properties or cold crank simulator, lubricity... with "normal, daily" DIY stuff. We work with standardised materials and apparatus but even kitchen utensils, PVC pipes and an old lawn mower can do the test... you proved it. Since the 1950's oil has developped a lot. Modern cars need oil change every 10-150000km (or more ?) while in those days 2500km was already "a lot". Thanks to additives, despersives, synthetic oil formulations, better cold characteristics and so many more.

I remember oil change intervals of 5000 kilometers in the 1960's. And today they 11,000 to 16,000. 150,000 is a bit much! I'm guessing that was a typo.

Truth !!! I worked as a gas jockey after school in the late Fifties and also seem to remember the same thing. If that can top wasn't so rusty you could probably see the viscosity rating, too. By the looks of the oil it was probably a straight 30 or 40 weight. As the guy down below notes, it's probably from the Forties because multigrades weren't yet made then.

You are correct. My grandfather sold QS at his station and I poured a lot into vehicles when I was 12 years to 18 years old. You nailed it.
