Well now, I do believe some sensible information has been provided.
True. Then in the last video they try to suggest their own fuel and oil additives are something you probably need. And in the other videos, "Driven" motor oils are presented for viewing....somewhat suggesting these are formulated properly....and maybe what you're using now isn't.
In the 3rd video they suggest that changing the oil filter more often is optimum (ie more often IS always better). My take from that was that you might want to change the filter multiple times during a typical OCI. That's not what car mfg's are recommending these days. The bar graph presented shows "races" so maybe they are only suggesting this notion works for car races. And if they are, then shouldn't they be changing the oil too after every race? And what kind of racing?
If I were a newbie seeing this video I would assume that changing your oil filter every 1,000-3,000 miles while your OCI is 6K-10K can only be a good thing. It doesn't consider the notion that your filter efficiency will increase as it gets dirtier...at least until the point where it's close to optimal loading and d/p is not too high. From that, not everything presented appears to be a fact....just because they area presented by a certified tribologist.
