I don't think I've ever seen anyone prefer aftermarket over OEM until that guy. It's pretty much common "knowledge" (ok I'll use quotes) that OEM is the only assumingly reliable choice. Not to say all OEM is good. I mean if you're buying Kia and Scion parts... maybe make them yourself. 😁

Generally speaking, in a parked vehicle week after week. Do you think most of them eventually bend under downward pressure, or leak a little from the beginning eventually allowing the filter to empty?

The answer is to always charge as slow as your time allows.

Chevy Impala? I'll probably get stink faced, it's just what came to mind.

If the engine is richer in any amount during the restart as is typical with a 'normal' start, then theoretically there would be more opportunity for fuel dilution in a vehicle that has at least some mathematical amount of dilution to begin with, correct? I'm not saying it's concerning, but that...

That is awesome information. Thank you.

So honest question, you don't think any of the changes in mfg process, metal coatings, types of oil, etc have changed enough to make any of the specific mechanics demonstrated in these articles obsolete in the tiniest bit? I'm not leading with this question, I honestly don't know.

This car looks pretty, can you finance me for 12 years?

Check out this statement: "Lower oil clearance results in a more uniform oil film pressure distribution and a greater oil film thickness". I see what he's saying - I think. Less eccentricity, less of a sort of lobe digging into the film?

And the remans are probably practically free to them. Groups of people in an organized effort to make money will sell product at whatever people will pay for it. 5% margin, 5,000% margin... whatever.

A rump roast is an unnecessary item that serves no utilitarian purpose beyond keeping you from starving, which can equally and even better so be accomplished with much cheaper food. The oil has a (supposed) benefit, even over lesser priced oils. Now don't go whining at me, I'm just trying to...

No, there's plenty of fake news and conspiracy theory to keep them blabbering. They'll even give Alex Jones wifi IF he ever goes to jail so they can continue to order their Glacier Water.

You don't understand because you're a sheeple. :LOL: 🦧

As quick as my grill rusted, I'll skip the water bath. I guess I do need to clean those, um, compound things out of it.

I rotate when I start to notice a depth difference. All my vehicles wear the front tires way faster than the back.

I've never consumed an "energy drink", nor have I ever even tried recreational drugs of any sort. Sometimes I wonder if this explains the great differences in my behavior versus most of society.

I think all those vehicles with the Punisher skull on them use that oil.

Did you know Hershey's chocolate syrup is Fat Free?

The "it's old, not worth the $$" problem is with paying a "mechanic". Go out there and start pulling stuff off the engine, watch some you tube, get a shop to measure and/or surface the heads, and put it back together. You'll be richer, smarter and you won't have to worry about whether that...

I don't know what to make of it without comparing the specs to other oils, who rarely publish such specs.
