LSJR Calls Out YouTube AI-generated Video Referencing Him

[4wd]

Makes one wonder is there anything the USA is doing or should be to attempt to make certain we have enough workers trained to do the many new types of jobs AI is going to produce? For instance..... if they use it in manufacturing, then they will need a host of newly trained mechanics and even operators to keep those places going. Another should be more and more IT specialists jobs to keep all the AI controlled things moving along.....

Every advancement in automation that I have witnessed meant more electronic techs and mechanical techs to keep it going.
I have however seen the IT side go more remote so that only central IT groups are certified to send software updates …

Neither one of those is established. Japan is one country that pioneered the use of low-viscosity oils well before the United States. @IndyFan notes above are also correct.

Going out of grade isn't the same as shear. Yes, mechanical shear of the VII can cause the oil to "go out of grade" but that's not the only cause. The continued misuse of "shear" as the reason for a viscosity deviation is rampant here and in the video.

It doesn't matter who pioneeers low viscosity oils but who uses them.
Sction tC (Camry engine) in the US calls for 0W-20. The same car in Japan is called Toyota Zelas and it calls for 5W-30.

Fuel dilution or mechanical shear in both cases the oil is out of grade - hence the minimum oil film is compromised. Right?

Sure.

Pentastar’s are great engines!

My Subaru’s on the other hand always drop a grade, and mine aren’t DI. I like having the headroom of a 30 grade in everything I own and maintain.

Always thought of the sidewinders having different dynamics - trade offs - and to compare Porsche is wine vs champagne …
Not many other sidewinders driven year round and high mileage

HPL 5W-40 Euro has Star VIIs. Result of UOA HTHS testing:

LSJR is calling out an AI-generated video referencing him saying 5W-30 is better than 0W-20. He provides data from his analysis showing that 0W-20 can provide better wear protection... unless the oil shears out of grade. Then the tables turn.

Clever way to start a thick v. thin post

I've heard he has a degree in marketing.

I've heard he has a degree in marketing.

He certainly has the energy/passion for that …
Might want to bone up on statistical engineering …

Or... just fake it 'til you make it.

Personally, I think the guy knows what he's talking about, but also realize he's making YT videos that needs to engage the masses, not just the BITOG community.

Videos which he appears as a guest, or presenting to audiences, are when his expertise shows. Likes don't matter as much and it's more conversational.

He's mentioned recently hiring a semi-retired statistician with experience in the oil industry to help analyze all the VOA and UOA samples in their db, so expect we'll be seeing more concise and statistically relevant data in the future from LSJR.

Truly good sources of technical information on oil are hard to come by. You have BITOG, Lubrication Explained and Machinery Lubrication.com. Lake is a like a hybrid of some good info mixed in with some more generic, basic stuff.

If you compare LSJ to FordBossMe and ProjectFarm, LSJ is on another level.

I guess I can't fault the guy, especially for the information he's been able to obtain via Valvoline's lab video and visiting HPL and sampling various Mobil 1 oils. I'll take what I can get.

LSJR compared to Project Farm and Ford Boss is like the latter two compared to Nate's Interactive Auto.

I think he works pretty hard too as seen in this short clip:

PF, nor anyone claims you should compare them.

Project Farm never, ever claims to use ASTM methodology or anything like it. He is very, very clear he only does "seat of the pants" garage bench tests, and nothing else. He gives his opinion and always tells the viewer to form their own conclusion.

OTOH, LSJ want you to blindly accept his technical conclusions, despite gaping holes in his methodology. IE, taking just one single data point and running off to the moon with it.

I don't take any of them that serious to the point I get upset by it. I really don't care what Lake says just like I don't care what Joe Rogan says. But I'll still listen. And every now and then he has a great guest on. Every now and then Lake brings something interesting to the table as we've all seen.
