Lake Speed Junior High Zinc Oil new video

My answer is yes, Sir.

Wasn't a trick question and no wrong/right either. Just an example of where trust/lack of testing data would come into decision making decision on an expensive purchase.

It's always been a love/hate with Amsoil for me. Go to any forum or site and the Amsoil army will come at you with half-truths blazing. If you can look beyond that and some of their past marketing flops, they make a very good product.

Could be even better maybe if they cut the middleman out.

All I care about is the product. The rest is just noise. Amsoil SS is one of the best.

Yes, and this goes for additive packages that are pre-approved too IMHO, which is what HPL uses, but then internally tests and top treats the final product and doesn't send it through the certification process.

I'm more comfortable starting with an LL-01, 229.5, 502 00/505 00, 229.5, A40 additive package from say Infineum, that then gets blended with PAO/AN/Ester with some FM top treat, validated via testing, than I am with something that starts with some generic GF-6 add pack that somebody goes hog on and then recommends for every approval under the sun.

I think that's the way to go.

No Royal Purple !
I saw those results.
Your BITOG posting is respected.
I believe your point is to have more depth of information in oil selection. Those oils are exactly what I would want for that $80k Turbo application.

My CCH is the favorite vehicle I have ever owned. California gas prices, including anticipated refinery shut downs (ie Valero in Benicia) have me looking at Elantra Hybrid 1.6 GTDI. That would require careful oil selection, including brand, formula and grade...and OCI !

He also used a picture that I posted on this forum and used it in one of his videos.

That's really not OK. It's a clear violation of your copyright.

BITOG could have rightfully patented the term "Motor Oil Geek" long ago.

Exactly, since he included the picture in a monetized video. Strange of him to do. Seems very lazy, but no wonder when the masses believe Napa Synthetic is the best oil ever now because of "science"...when not done if a truly scientific way. Kinda ironic.

Congratulations on your 40,000th post.
Finally one that I agree with.

You just bought a new car. $80k. Turbo. Are you going to run Red Line or HPL with high moly knowing 1. they both use high moly which may reflect poorly on TEOST. 2. neither one are certified.

I just bought a new car, turbo, and I'm running a motorcycle oil in it that isn't certified. Higher moly than typical in euro oils

 

[tired]

I loved his video where he proved that the cheapest oil meeting the spec beats the Amsoil OE. But Haters are going to say that Lake doesn't know what he's talking about. Fame and honesty attract a lot of haters, that's how the world works

"Beats" doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

As you posted before from Lingenfelter. These oils are torture tested.

I'm not familiar with Lingenfilter. What's this screenshot in reference to?

Yeah I kind of see HPL as Amsoil without all the money spent on marketing the MLM scheme.

What test are we doing again?

Three pulls on a dyno with a 70 year old engine design with a flat tappet camshaft followed by a used oil analysis.
Isn’t that the industry standard?

Lingenfelter tested 5 top brands in their R&D process and selected Amsoil based on the results they found.

Empty vessels hating on Lake, I see.

I think the people you're arguing with are anything but "empty vessels." I think there are times to speak and times to listen. This is probably one of those listening times for you, in my view. Edit to add: not singling you out. I listen far more than I speak here too since it was obvious from the moment I visited that many here know far more than me.

It is the combative language of some here that hurts their credibility. It is an oil board I get it, but being civil goes a long way. A few here are part of a gang seems like, their job is to support each other's views at all costs. Like @kschachn is absolutely clueless about the inner workings of the Toyota Dynamic Force engine. But as a newcomer if you correct him, you get attacked by the rest of the gang members. That's not fair. Being a newcomer on this board doesn't mean you don't know anything.

Lingenfilter is the Shelby of Corvettes. Builds high performance race and street engines, and has a race team.

Every time I see this thread title I think it’s about a school called Lake Speed Junior High
