Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am new guy to this forum, and I would like to start as contributing to the masses. I have found a guy in Eastern Europe who tests motor oils on friction and couple of other tests. His youtube channel is called Piotr Tester where he has all the friction tests on video with preparation and the test itself along with the measurements and final conclusions. His methods are far from an academic level but hey, samples show what's going on, and he is generally stable with his testing process. He tests on room temp, 100 degree celsius (212F?) and under high load.
I am not aiming at the person itself, but the fact that he has a neat database now with all the friction tests which is available in his video descriptions (actually 2 tables) are pretty neat. It let's everyone see how well the different brands and makes hold up against friction and in my point of view, that is one of (if not the most) important factors of oil.
Last, but not least he tests US and EU products as well. (I believe all of them are bought in the EU, so that might be a grey zone.)
The youtube channel's name is Piotr Tester.
I would be also happy to see/hear about any other opinions, faults in testing, or some similar databases somewhere.
Wish you a nice day!
