Are you talking about BITOG members or the general public?

That is a massive generalization. For somebody who has a port-injected engine that’s easy on oil and drives consistent highway commutes, what more would they need to “understand”? In many cases, grabbing Supertech oil in whatever grade their oil cap says and filters off the shelf at Walmart and...

I know there are plenty here who say that, I’ve been here for many years. You said it’s “the standard” though.

I don’t think that’s the standard here at all. I think it’s quite the opposite actually where there’s paranoia here about MOFT that 99% of the public doesn’t even know about, and their engines make it to the junkyard someday after the car rots out with cam lobes intact just fine. The “real...

I’m not even pushing back. You’re talking to somebody who went up a grade in both of their cars. But there’s nuance to it, and that’s my whole point.

People do that…? Regarding MOFT when an engine is lugged under load, any remotely modern automatic is not going to allow the engine to be dangerously lugged under load. If people are driving manual and lugging the engine under load, then that’s a problem stemming from behind the wheel, not in...

I just watched this after having not watched any of his videos for some time. I must say, excellent production quality. His skills as a presenter are improving and he’s very natural in front of the camera now with much smoother editing. Really well done. I love what he said about oil pressure...

I wonder if the low Castrol Edge pricing is going to increase very soon too, or if Castrol is pushing for more market share this way. If their pricing stays in the 20 dollar range then I suspect their popularity will rise decently here.

I think some people here have a hard time understanding that not everybody is wanting to have extra oil sitting around long-term. It drives me nuts to have extra oil sitting like that.

I remember over a decade ago now when Purolator PureOnes were showing holes torn in the media. Crazy how Purolator is still seen as having questionable media all this later.

Congrats! What oil will you be running when it’s time to change?

Absolute marketing nightmare. GTL is obviously used in other products, like Mobil 1 Extended Performance for instance, but quietly. Hard to carry a line of products now when your entire basis for telling people why it’s “superior” is gone. Wonder if people will even notice though, aside from...

The supplier agreements are out the window right now, are they not? I don’t think much of anything is guaranteed.

Are they going to have a choice? When considering that the majors/base oil suppliers will have to work with OEM dealer networks to help keep them going, I doubt relatively small players like the boutique PCMOs brands get much allocation. There are bigger fish to fry.

The emphasis is because he sells them. So what we see, in my view, is a guy who figured out that if he can make enough of a splash on YouTube, then he can use that to level his core business of selling UOAs. He’s promoting the use of UOAs in his content and then just happens to be a one-stop...
