"If high-temperature deposits are the concern, the 33C method remains the best choice. For lower temperature deposits that are more related to oxidation, the MHT method would be preferred for areas where volatiles are not likely to accumulate, and the Turbo method is preferred for areas where volatiles are more likely to be retained and participate in these undesirable reactions."

They obviously have mutual respect for each other - and with diversity in backgrounds - that’s a good relationship right there

Seems it would not be as useful for people doing 30k a year on the road … Neither is an exact science …

True - yet, not that much moly in OEM approved lubes - so more a thing with boutiques - however - Amsoil seems to balance it all quite well …

I meant zrod :/I know, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing its in everything, my vg33, 2.7L ecoboost, 7.3 godzilla, looks like a clear winner for whatever you ask it to do, except I just remembered its not in anything, the shelby is running dominator 20w50
Someone guessed $15k in the YT comments and Lake said that was pretty close.
He's making plenty of coin off his YT channel, so it will be a business write-off because he spent money to make the video.
There's no way he made $15k off 264k views(where the video is currently at.). No affiliate links, no sponsorships. Either he had entirely other reasons to make the content which paid for the video, or he lost money.
Not that many people care about motor oil.
It's only been up 9 days - so check back in a month or two for total views. And he makes all kinds of YT videos that generate income, and most of those probably don't cost him much to make besides his time. I said he's making money off his channel which has a good amount of videos, not that he'll make $15K+ on this specific video. Plus, nobody knows if there is some money involved through marketing, etc behind the scenes. I highly doubt he's losing any money overall with the channel, and making enough to be worth his time and efforts.

Blasphemy! You said this on a forum all about motor oil?
He promotes used oil analysis. Even though he says to pick a lab and stick with it for trend analysis, SpeeDiagnostix is used throughout his videos. Almost like watching a late-night infomercial.

Since he founded and owns SPEEDiagnostix, that's no shocker.
Some of the cost of vids may be funded through his advertising budget and written off as a cost.
Right but again that points to the use case matters. With or without FCP I don't care about cost when I'm asking or looking for what's best. What's best is what's best. Not "This would be best but it's XXXX dollars". Things go on sale, there's deals, there's FCP, there's always something. Again we're talking a tank of gas cost between walmart supertech and amsoil/redline. Everyone's use case is their own but to me that doesn't matter. I want to know what protects my engine the most for a harsh environment. If I take the Grenadier to Moab or sink it in a water crossing, which I did and just got it back after 8 months of service work, I want what's going to get me from start to finish, not 10k or 15k miles. But that's my use case and it might be ridiculous to others. The amount of finger pointing and nose snubbing at LSJR here is a bit nonsense because those doing so seem to always have their reasons but nothing that's actually valid as a whole.
So a guy that designs oils doing test in a lab with other guys that design and test oils doesn't yield any meaningful data. What does? Where does your minor in chemistry fit? You always mention what's meaningful but when I ask what you'll accept you never have a response. You were even critical when he was with the Valvoline guys that designed Valvoline's oil. Who's poster is hanging on your wall that you dream about then?
Just the observations here of a guy who is learning about maintaining and repairing his own cars: Some people apparently don't fully trust or like what LSJR is doing. I don't get it.
Do I blindly accept everything he says as gospel? No, I don't do that for anybody. I do, however, thoroughly appreciate and enjoy the wealth of information and knowledge he presents on his channel as well as on other forums, and I have no reason to suspect any dishonest intentions or irresponsible behavior with regard to his content.
Same for this place; I really appreciate the knowledge and experience shared in here.

Too wide a range for income estimate to draw any conclusions. Maybe he makes money on the videos.
Either way I'm thankful he does what he does and we all benefit.
