**Slow clap** Honestly, Im a 100% green FNG to the diesel world. There is so much to learn, and I dig it baby! So much knowledge from Mr Banks on his own products and now Amsoil too!?!? The one thing that I keep seeing/hearing/reading on my diesel journey is, use quality products and your diesel will last forever. So glad I found and went with Banks products. And because of Mr Banks himself, I look forward to using Amsoil products in not just my diesel, but my other gas and two stroke engines! I applaud Banks and Amsoil for the much needed transparency and support they provide their current, NEW and future customers! This was a great series (along with all of the past Banks videos)! Look forward to whats next! Thank You!

Nice video series. If Amsoil would dump their MLM, I'd try their products. I have no doubt that they may be good products, but they are not the only manufacturer that uses Group Iv base stocks, and rigorously tests their production in a lab environment as well as in the real world. For me, I have to wonder and be a bit skeptical if their products are only available from "Authorized Dealers" AKA people that pay a fee to sell their stuff. Lastly, "Cold Start" is the toughest on the engine along with extended oil drain intervals, not the stuff they are showing here.

I always believed that all oil was the same until about 18 years ago. I was at a buddy’s mechanic shop and he had a motor job on a a Ford super duty pick up truck. This truck had 315,000 miles on it and was in for a leaking intake manifold or something. When he pulled the intake and valve covers off everything looked brand new. We were both amazed and were astounded by the cleanliness of this engine. When the owner showed up to pick up his truck we asked him what oil he was using. When he said Amsoil both of us went and got our own Amsoil accounts. To this day I run Amsoil engine oil, trans fluid and differential fluid. I’m pushing 422,000 miles now and my truck runs as good as it did when it was new. I would love to get a new truck but my truck runs so good that I decided to fix the rust, paint it and keep her going. I also installed an Amsoil bypass oil filter about 12 years ago so now I change my oil every 25-30,000 miles.

We never had a engine failure due to oil. The only failure we had was running the engine a little on the lean side. Our mistake by jetting the carbs a little to lean trying to grab a little more power. When we took the engines apart there was a surprising amount of oil in the crankcase. I have never seen this before with other 2 cycle engine oil. Ams Oil was far ahead and better then anyone else in the business that we used back then.

He refers to microwelding of components, etc... But you're talking about often times cast rings, cast uncoated pistons and uncoated stock soft bearings. Race engine parts aren't made from the same materials as a sloppy mexico built GM 350. If you're going to market to the race engine scene, should at least be testing on race engines. And should be testing at race engine powerr levels on race fuels! Not a wheezing 300 HP pump gas engine.

You can buy an engine pre-lube system that will force oil out through the passage ways. It comes on automatically when you turn the key. This way if the engine has been just sitting and not running for a while, it is not running dry for the first few seconds. That is where a big part of the engine wear comes from.

I saw a rep from amsoil answer that saying that it does meet dexos standards, and that basically they didn't want to pay for licensing. Considering the price of amsoil it wouldn't be much added but they seemed adamant about not paying it. Problem is some dealers were saying that amsoil would void the factory warranty if you had a engine failure. Anyways I'm sure the amsoil is superior but who can afford to fight with GM, so I just bought the dexos for my vehicle. 🤔

@@HiTechOilCo This has to be the most canned, corny salesman response ever. I want data. Why can't Amsoil make a video showing consumers the test results of their oils running the Dexos required tests? And anyone can send oils in for an oil analysis to find out the additives packages, so what is there to hide?

I’d be curious on cold starts and short distances over the long term where oil is not up to temperature. Many drivers don’t get the oil up to temp and do many short trips over the ownership of their vehicle.

That was cool. Learned some things no doubt from that graph and how oiling works.

50 + years ago Smokey Yunick did an oil test article in Popular Science Magazine. He was testing a home brewed synthetic oil made by a chemist (?) some where in Wisconsin. The oil was called All Proof 5w -50, packaged in round metal cans. His test engine was 300 hp 302 Chevy. He tested with conventional oil, then synthetic oil and back to conventional oil. He checked valves and whatever between tests to maintain an accurate comparison. His results were a gain of 20 hp and a 20 degree drop in oil temperature. I called Smokey and ordered the oil for a twin engine boat with 2 modified 302 Fords with 7 Qt oil pans. Boat also had Oil temperature gauges. I picked up almost 100 Rpm and oil temp dropped 15-20 degrees. 100rpm was a measurable speed increase. The oil was $5 a qt. When I called sometime later to order more oil he said the formula changed and he didn't like it and and couldn't supply me. Just talking to Smokey on the phone a few times made the transaction very informative. He was brutally honest with his answers. I wonder if this oil had a connection with Amsoil.

I love this channel. The best. Gale, When will we see the leaf blower 2-stroke teardown? So, provided good oil, a good SBC for dirt track racing really only needs 40 psi oil pressure? That's going against every "norm" we have ever heard about engines. I get that constant oil pressure is key, we have all seen what oil starvation does.

Great videos. very informative!! Amsoil's R&D makes their price a little easier to take. I would have liked to see SOME wear numbers, esp. rod & main bearings & rings.

Everyone loves to focus on racing and high-power applications, but does Amsoil test city-girl driving? Small engine frequently started/stopped and driven around the city w/o being able to warm up fully on a neglected oil change interval, with the engine low on oil? This is a very real world scenario.

Finished the video, within this series I am very well sold on the AMSOL name not just through decades of hearsay but also seeing the testing the engineering that goes into their products and I think it's definitely a good oil to put into my thunderstorke That sees red line within a minute every time I start it
