Yeah, we all have different tastes and likes. Each to his/her own.
So, you don't enjoy his videos ... fair enough. I find some aspects of his YouTube personality off-putting as well. But it's unfair to condemn his videos as clickbait. I'm assuming you know what clickbait is ... From Wikipedia "Clickbait [...] is a text or a thumbnail link that is designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow ("click") that link and view, read, stream or listen to the linked piece of online content, being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading"
I just don't see LSJr as "being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading" That's malicious, and LSr is far from that.
Completely reasonable thoughts. He is somewhat tempered with the conclusions but really would be more respected by this tribe if he was forthcoming with sources of error and weaknesses of methods- just like we learned in high school
I like his videos and think too many people are ungrateful when receiving oil free data, or any free thing.

Good move.I’m literally returning all my Kirkland stock later this week on my way to the NAPA store
However, I think the NAPA oil sale is over. So if you are going to pay $3-4 more for the NAPA Syn jugs, then go to Walmart and buy the Valvoline Advanced Syn instead. It'll be about the same price and the only difference is a little better additive package in the Advanced.
No, the NAPA Syn and the Advanced are not the same base/ additives formulas. BITOG members have contacted Valvoline enough times over the years to confirm this.

The main thing this video proves is the same people that complain here about everything are still complaining.

Frankenblenders here get the most complaints - despite having huge success stirring their backyard pots of the site sponsors Pennzoil, HPL and Amsoil oils.

Don’t the high mileage Valvoline offerings also have nice amounts of moly and boron ?…Good move.

Grandmother smoked into her 90’s, huge success. But I don’t recommend anyone try it….Define “huge success”
Just because you didn’t blow up your engine?

Weren't some high moly oils susceptible to having it fall out of suspension. But there are newer types which work in lower quantities and don't fall out of suspension.I was intent on running it for the high moly counts I've seen on past analysis testing. Some of the recent tests seem to indicate the moly levels have dropped. I could be wrong but I am sure I've seen some posted recently where the formula has been tweaked with lower moly levels . I will keep checking around , I hope that I am wrong and I don't want to mislead anyone. Will check the UOA posts of the recent times. The last two UOA's I've seen show levels around 140-150 ppm, still decent, but I believe they were higher in the past by quite a bit. There is this one and one from a Prius in the last couple months.
And no test labs to prove him wrongFind it funny that people who hate LSJr's videos sure watch his videos a lot to tell people that they hate his videos.
This just in, smoking gets you to 90+ years of age! Data source: Just One person; all the data we need.Grandmother smoked into her 90’s, huge success. But I don’t recommend anyone try it….
