0W-8 Engine Oil Pour, Reaction, & Initial Thoughts! Anyone Want a Glass of Petroleum Juice??

[thecsslife]

Late 90s and early 2000s cars hit the sweet spot between modern tech and mechanical simplicity.

I'm excited to use my new 0w-2 oil, we'll see if i can get 1 more mpg with it, fingers crossed.

[GarenP]

I'd rather optimize for the longevity of the engine than fuel efficiency, which I believe is the most plausible explanation for these thin oils. And as long as the owners manual outside the U.S. shows 5w-30 still as an option and not pretending it can only use one super low viscosity in the U.S. version, I'll keep ignoring my U.S. centric "recommendation".

[JH-iijc]

As a retired ASE Master tech with over 40 years experience, I whole heartedly agree that the emission laws and fuel economy are creating the outrageously low viscosity oils and with that comes durability issues.

Just a tip, auto failure is at an all time high for crap that we didn't have problems with only 20 years ago, I've changed more lifters and timing chains in the last 10 years than I did 30 years of my entire career. And this is very suspicious

[kabloosh]

10k oil intervals, debris being left in engines during manufacturing, and 0-8 oil makes me think Toyota is looking to make sure their vehicles stop lasting forever.

Im also a toyota tech! There is an additive in 0w-8 that creates a film on the inside of the engine! It reduces friction while also protecting the internals while also allowing for more efficent, and clean engines! (I dont believe this is in the toyota certs) @EngineeringExplained has a great video on the differences between differnt viscosity and heat ratings of oils and the benefits and downsides of both! I believe he also talks about the chevy L82 engine failures and chevy adressing it by changing oil type!

[JNAMOTORSPORTS]

They are destroying motors for “emissions” and “efficiency” yet have no longevity amazing at the lunacy we are living in

[anydaynow]

These super light oils are designed to do one thing only, meet increasingly tough CAFE standards. Combined with "lifetime" fills really being just for the car's warranty period I don't trust these at all. The Toyota of today isn't the same as it was 20 or 30 years ago.

You’re just so awesome Faye!!! Thank you for you videos.

[benniestander]

What I do in South Africa is the following. I look up the different grades of oil that my car is approved for in the manual. And according to the temp rating I will pick the middle or so oil. For example, the car came with 0w16. And it can also use 0w20, 0w30, 5w20, 5w30. I will then use the thicker grades as our temperatures rarely goes to freezing in winter. Never had a problem in almost 30 years. Our cars are all more than 10 years old. My old 93 Camry is still going like new

[timothyjamieson]

Oil Geek made a video on just this. The lighter oil did measurable damage to the engine, and the thicker oil cost no horsepower once the engine was warm. The lighter oil was so thin, more volume wscaped the bearings leading to higher windage drag. Admittedly on a race engine, but very interesting video.

5w-30 - 15w-40 is usually the only stuff I use I don’t care what the manufacturer says my vehicle’s & equipment are 20-30yrs old still going strong 💪🏼

[chriso]

Oh im glad you have a youtube channel. I just wanted to say, i watch your show with my daughter at least once a week. Shes only 6 months old... but im hoping to show her as she grows up that being a mechanic is cool for girls too. Thanks for what you do!

[davidetchellsetchells]

I'm old so, here in Alaska I run 0w40 in everything in the winter, and 15w50 in summer because I torture my engines after they reach op temp but I baby them by letting coolant and oil come up to open temp before driving because trust me, metal shatters at 50 below if you Rev an engine that's not fully warmed up.

[kchilz]

I just bought a 2014 tundra and the lowest i would go is 5w20. I rather get longevity than the little fuel economy and to satisfy the EPA. They won’t be paying me for a new vehicle. Btw live the content

[blakecable]

Longevity is not a concern of engineers Just hyper efficiency burning hot and clean

[adammaslonka]

Why would they want engine longevity? Got to keep profit up. I'm from the government, we're here to help.

[davelowman]

It's making sure the engine lasts for the warranty period and no more. 1% efficiency or less is it really worth it?

[HBButler]

If you look at the same cars offered in other countries like Mexico or Canada they have different emission standards. A Tundra that took 0W-20 or 5W-20 in the states could take that or heavier oils like 10W-20, 15W-40, or 20W-50 in some cases. It’s wild to see how emissions and “cafe standards” have pushed the need for thinner oils to eak the most “efficiency” out of vehicles for emissions, fuel mpg, etc!
