LSJR Boutique vs OTS shootout

[GW.]

Overall rank based on lab test importance per Chip Hewette from Afton.

Need Chip on BITOG!

Amen!

He talks about high amounts of certain types of moly lead to deposits. I believe he said it’s because of the sulfur content. “More additives can lead to more deposits.”

So, for most people who drive to work and the grocery store, with an occasional longer trip, Amsoil and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum are pretty dang good.

So from this group it looks like Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is a very good OTS product. Too bad it doesn't come with stickers. @TiGeo /Sarcasm

I tuned in late. What’s the deal with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum temperatures?

Funny, some BITOGers told me break-in isn’t real in modern engines.

Dressed up for the occasion. A man of class.

I suppose I can relate. I sometimes grab my lever gun from the safe when I watch The Rifleman.

Other guys say some oils are junk.

Not exactly. The argument isn't whether break-in occurs but whether this early material causes additional wear of the engine. The argument is that there are millions of automobiles on the road today which did not have a break-in service and engines aren't failing left and right.

Ok. What did everyone think? I enjoyed it.

I'm glad to be watching this right now.

In one of Lake's recent videos, he had a slide showing what happens to wear metals when 0W-20 and 5W-30 shear out of grade. At the beginning of this presentation, he mentioned it, but never showed the slide or discussed it. Bottom line from the earlier video, as long as 0W-20 oil stays in grade, wear metals stay low, but as soon as it shears out of grade, wear metals increase quite a bit. When the 5W-30 shears out of grade, the wear metals decreased slightly.

Added chart and corrected some data:

His chart showing wear metals over odometer ranges:

With Chip now working with Lake, I hope the controversy whether the results from data analysis from SD are statistically significant will subside.

I found it contained very good information. Worthy of BITOG data!

In one of Lake's recent videos, he had a slide showing what happens to wear metals when 0W-20 and 5W-30 fall out of grade. At the beginning of this presentation, he mentioned it, but never showed the slide or discussed it. Bottom line from the earlier video, as long as 0W-20 oil stays in grade, wear metals stay low, but as soon as it goes out of grade, wear metals increase quite a bit. Similar results with 5W-30 going out of grade, but the wear metal increase was significantly lower than 0W-20 having gone out of grade.

Exactly. A sheared 20 grade is bad. A sheared 30 grade still protects like a non sheared 20 grade. It’s all about the headroom.

His wording is always interesting..............doesn't need this for money.....hires people........

He was talking about not needing Superchat donations.

IIRC, in this same video he says that most 5w30s shear down to 20 regardless and he suggests just moving to 5w20 because of its ability to resist shear more than a 5w30.

Touched on the wider the gap between both sides of the w (A)w(X) the more prone to shear.
