Which means you do not know.I will limit my response to saying it would be very interesting to see the comparative results with a typical 4 cylinder engine.

Normal engines have tighter tolerances?That was my thought - how does this apply to a "normal" engine with tighter tolerances run under far less load and at much lower RPM? The video shows a specialized use case far removed from anything I will see.
You sure can, Takes a small amount of thinkingUnless it's on the top of the engine...![]()
Great content, one of LSJ's best to date.
This forever settles the THICK vs THIN oil debate.
Many of us already knew this by just using common sense and intuition. This test proves us right. The dyno results even slightly surpassed my expectations. I expected a very tiny power loss with thicker oil but in reality there was no loss (at operating temp).
- THICK beats THIN in every way. Much less wear with no power loss at operating temperature.
- Pre-filling oil filter does reduce engine wear at start-up.
Validates my switching from 5W-30 to 0W-40 in all my vehicles here in hot Texas. As far as I'm concerned, xW-8, xW-16, xW-20 should not exist. Thanks LSJ!
I wondered why he gave PF a bit of praise too, since there is virtually no science in PF videos but a whole lot of speculationThe video also gave a shout out to PF. Why would a guy like Mr. Speed with oil credentials give a shout out to a supposed internet oil hack? Since the video did not use sanctioned methods for testing, is the video by Mr. Speed on the same category as PF? Or do these videos give us some nuggets of information?
Walk me through it b/c I clearly am not following this. Beyond soaking the filter, any free-oil will simply run out as I try to flip it over onto the oil filter housing. Or maybe you mean install the filter onto the housing first then put the cover over/screw on? Unnecessary either way.You sure can, Takes a small amount of thinking
Do you have cartridge or spin on?Walk me through it b/c I clearly am not following this.

A cartridge...I answered the question related to cartridge filters....Do you have cartridge or spin on?
It settles the thick vs thin debate on this particular heavily modified LS race engine - absolutely.Great content, one of LSJ's best to date.

Oh IBL for sure now.The video also gave a shout out to PF. Why would a guy like Mr. Speed with oil credentials give a shout out to a supposed internet oil hack?

And yet, they are both terrible to pre-fill in the horizontal position, for the same reason, because they're really messy. The fact that one is 25-50% less terrible (you can still pre-soak the filter element in a cartridge if you choose) as the oil pours out the side and down your arm gives little consolation that one is somehow superior to the other. They are both terrible and I'm not going to get into arguing degrees of terrible - it's simply enough that I will not pre-fill either for the same reason.Yes there is.
A cartridge filter will not hold any oil horizontal.
A canister can hold 75% of its capacity by absorbing must of the oil in its element and being held by the inlet holes and anti drain back gasket.
Cartridge has none of those.
Stick around b/c I am about to learn how to pre-fill a cartridge filter that is in the vertical position on top of the engine. Very much looking forward to this. I guess I could install the filter on the housing, exposed w/no case, then pour oil all over like hot-fudge on a sundae, then put the cover on?And yet, they are both terrible to pre-fill in the horizontal position, for the same reason, because they're really messy.

Correct. I do not know. Which is why I requested that Lake run the test with a 4 cylinder.Which means you do not know.
Oh come on now, where's your BITOG team-spirt? 20W50 HD diesel oil in that econo 4 banger will help it last forevvverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!Cool video.
I definitely will not be going from 0W20 to 20W50 in my mass produced four cylinder commuters anytime soon. Might start pre filing filters now though. That water and blip was an interesting anomaly.
Weak, better step it up some more.Oh come on now, where's your BITOG team-spirt? 20W50 HD diesel oil in that econo 4 banger will help it last forevvverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
This settles it - Driven GP 1 20W50 in everything!Oh come on now, where's your BITOG team-spirt? 20W50 HD diesel oil in that econo 4 banger will help it last forevvverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
