Arrested does not mean much of anything in Houston and Harris Co. Had that happened most any other county, it would matter a lot.

Most of Texas is very Law and Order, but Houston / Harris Co. is nothing like that. I'll leave it there, but YES, Houston is a great place to commit a crime to avoid any accountability.

Torn up trans, IMO. Sad thing was the car belongs to someone else. Thieves were running with it.

Right on track, if not even faster.

Crazy stuff out on the roadways all the time but this is at another level. Car was stolen by a guy in GA and his girlfriend was the SUV driver, LOL. . Forward to 0:38 to see the clip.

That map has little to no credibility. People are voting with their feet and loading up and mostly moving south.

There have been countless "frankenblends" concocted and used here through the years. I don't remember a single one having an issue. Every quality oil will state their oil is fully compatible with other quality oils. You can rest easy, the viscosity will fall somewhere in between, and 5w-30 is...

I went to 5w-30 and my 2019 RAM never noticed it. I even posted the engine data before and after.

Nope. People post millions of YT videos from the frivolous "My Fluffy is the cutest cat ever!" to stupid things like this: There is hardly any "expertise" in the vast majority of YT. Most are for entertainment only. In fact, some of the stupidest things on YT have crazy high views. Audience...

Open question for all: Who exactly comprises the universe of posters at BITOG? Does every poster here have technical background? Are we all chemists and automotive engineers? Or, is the BITOG universe composed of all the above PLUS many everyday shade tree mechanics, DIY's and just curious...

Then feel free to ignore him, just like I ignore the paid shills some people trust on YT.

15 seconds won't kill or significantly damage any healthy engine. Clear codes drive on. Its not "that" much more than starting after an oil change with a dry filter installed. Engines have way, way more residual oil than anyone thinks.

He uses the same "seat of the pants, garage benchtop" methodology for everything just the same. He is what he is, and he does not hide it, in fact he openly discloses it. That's exactly why I like the guy.

I agree. PF is a singular version of the "user reviews" you see with many products, hotels, vehicles, etc. No "user review" or "customer review" has to be rigidly technical. I very much like these, and I trust them more than an "expert review" I might read. I am not implying the experts are...

And that's just your personal "conclusion" on PF. Nothing more.

He does not promote them as "technical". He stays in his lane. He even tell the viewer all he is presenting is a garage bench observation. I appreciate his candor, that some other YT notables lack.

LSJ gets "criticized" while PF is hated.

I don't want to bash LSJ or his content, but to be fair he does sell clickbait. He is not anywhere near as bad as the Scotty the clickbait master though. I think LSJ has some good content, but the application and conclusion of his content is what I don't trust. LSJ will cherry pick one data...

I would have thought it would float for a little while, maybe not?

Should throw this State Income Tax chart in too: https://files.taxfoundation.org/20230217151820/2023-state-individual-income-tax-rates-2023-state-income-taxes-by-state.png
