Any Good Video Teaching on Motor Oil Basics?

[Gebo]

I'd like to learn the difference in Base Stocks, Group 3, 4 and 5, etc. How are they manufactured or distilled? Are their any good videos you know of?

This video should get a pretty good caning by this site. Though.. the advice at :27 is sound.

I want much more detailed info than this. I'm curious as to who makes base stocks, additive packs, VI, etc.

Your better off floating around on this forum for a little while.

I don't have any videos to post, but I think you'll find these 2 threads to be informative.

VI thread

viscosity thread

Hello, No offence 45ACP, but that video was lame beyond description. It wouldn't cut it as a TV commercial. Kira

I thought it was meant as a joke. It did make me laugh....

The VI thread was very informative. The other was more of a urinating contest (at least to me)

Depending on what you are hoping to use the video for (ie for training) then I recommend paying for the Noria videos - they are pricey but worth the $$ IMO.

I saw that too, for that other thread. It starts to get good from page 3 though. IMO
