Interesting! In the olden days (1970's) through college chemistry and biology, etc on the west coast, teachers always said PIPE-ett.
it probably still is that in the US, except in Lake Speed's house
I believe in good fun
Have you put a comment yet?
No because I'm not the one here with all the issues/concerns being brought up. Why would I?Have you put a comment yet?
And the great 'Ye Olde Pitchefork and Torch sale of '25" is in full swing.
As always, use code #myoilisbetterthanyouroil to unlock even bigger savings!
not affiliated with any major or minor oil manufacturer or otherwise sponsored by satanic SOPUS like LSJR supposedly is (based on his having access to Penz facilities in the past).... even though he was in an HPL facility THIS time.
Good Lord should be capitalized.
But, but, he put reagents back in the bottle from which they came.
Not in casual use...this isn't being used in a religious context.
He does not hold a STEM degree but a BA in Advertising. He leans on his "certifications" of being a Oil Analyst through STLE that is just a bunch of testing with low hour course work requirements.

Not to disparage anyone, but I learned early on what the difference was between my minor in chemistry and a PhD.
To be fair to the guy, I have never seen him to over state or infer his education is beyond what it is. Some may assume it is but he is pretty open about it in his LinkedIn profile. To my knowledge, he has never stated or passed himself off as a petrochemical engineer.

Why would you bother blending an oil when the top quality oil for any use case is being sold cheap in a box sayin' "Rotella"
(Relax, just joking. I was away for a while)
It is interesting too see the moly content. That is sub xw20 grade oil playbook to me

You just made an argument to not take your own statements seriously
I didn't catch it, and that stuff usually sticks out to me like a sore thumb. (Sounded like pie-PET which is the common pronunciation.)

He also formulated, tested, and analyzed oils for JGR/Driven in NASCAR for 15 years as their GM. I was in close communication with him through the development of one of Driven's products. In live engine tests, he went through 150+ camshafts in multiple engines dialing in the formula for that oil. That included mic'ing every lobe of every camshaft before and after, profilometer mapping of lobe surfaces (and cylinder walls and rings), validating results from lab tests to live engine, and so on. He also spent time with GM at ORNL working on development of ionic liquid FM in low viscosity engine oils. The man is a wealth of knowledge and experience. Don't discredit him by his degree.

Degrees can be overrated. Many people are employed in areas that have nothing to do with their degree. A degree proves you can learn. LSJ has a lot of experience as RDY pointed out that you can't get in a classroom.
I've met PhDs that can barely function in life and are only good at one thing.
