    Lightbulb Engine oil comparison video

    This is an interesting video I just found tonight while doing some research on motor oil for my truck.
    I was considering switching to Mobil 1 synthetic on the recommendation of a friend.
    Now I am considering the generic Amazon brand, which is half the cost of Mobil 1.
    I was also very surprised at how Valvoline performed in this demonstration.

    Resistance is Not Futile, It's Voltage Divided by Current.

    The Valvoline oil that was tested was a Dino oil vs the other 2 which are synthetic. Unfair comparison.
    I don’t believe that any of the tested oils meet Ford WSS-M2C17-F1 spec for Diesel engines.

    I use either Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme Diesel 5W-40 or I recently stocked up on Shell Rotella T6 5W-40. Rotella had a $21 rebate on the 3 gallon box late last year so I stocked up. They allowed 4 rebates so I ordered 4 boxes of 3xgallon each and got a check for $84 from them.

    Sams Club was selling the 3 gallon box for $51.69 so with the rebate it came out to $30.69 for 3 gallons or only $2.55/qt.

    Rotella has $7/gall rebate now for T6, max 2 rebates. https://rotella.shell.com/en_us/coup...L0RJWS90NXQ2Lw
