Another explanation of motor oil

Several interesting take aways from the video.

1.) TBN is outdated need to look a Oxidation.
2.) HM oils seal sweller is an ester. Does this mean HM also has cleaning ability?
3.) The more additives the more deposits formed. Less additives the less deposits.
4.) The better the base oil the less additives you need.

Some of the take aways go against the conventional wisdom on this site. Specially the TBN and the additives.

4) and different ones
 
I don't know anything about this guy; is he just another internet self-proclaimed lube savant?
I didn't learn anything from this video.
Yeah i felt the same, but apparently he's a "certified lubrication specialist" but i can't find any other education like a tribology or petroleum engineering degree, he uses his fathers fame as a stock car driver a lot. Anyone can become one too if you just pay for their course and take their test to get a license which doesn't have any real accreditation. Don't need any degree or anything. They say you just need 3 years of working in the field but I imagine working at the quick lube at Walmart will suffice.

Totally agree. For example the way that Pennzoil Platinum is being dragged through the mud here right now for having low TBN and a weak looking VOA, is that actually because Shell is using very good base oils and the lower metallic additive content is actually very smart and strategic?
