I have a hard time believing Mobil 1 Extended Performance causes varnish in 11,000 mile intervals unless it's an engine with a known defect (like VCM) that is especially hard on oil.
I do too, but this engine (apparently) is pretty hard on oil and his wife drives it daily. I was also skeptical of HPL showing carbon in filter after long term use of Mobil 1 per Overkill. But I believe both.
That’s because of the ten ninety rule.
They were attacking it since it released, especially the HPL fanboys, it isn't going to stop now.
Is that 1.5 of yours known to run hotter than the norm? That wrecks havoc on oils and creates varnish environments
This site is also sponsored by Pennzoil - I'm looking at a Pennzoil banner on my phone as I type this. So?
Cleaning isn't the only reason to use HPL (even though it seems to be a crowd favorite reason here). I am not attacking the Valvoline product, I'll likely start using it in my son's older Focus as it seems like a high-value product, but I wouldn't compare it directly to HPL based on the data I've collected using the HPL products which are excellent for those either wanting a long OCI oil or for me, 12 hours at 270 deg F on track...no way I'd use the Valvoline product for that use vs. HPL.
This is quite obtuse. It isn't like staff members like Molakule here are shilling for Pennzoil. With YouTube content creation, the goal for both the sponsor and the host of the show is to mutually benefit from positive PR spin for the product in question. The staff members here aren't getting paid to be brand ambassadors for anybody here but LSJ is.
So LSJR is a shill/shills for Pennzoil b/c they are a sponsor of his channel? I haven't gotten that vibe. Do you know the ins/outs of LSJR's sponsorship deals b/c I certainly don't? If anything he is promoting HPL in many of his videos.
He's promoting anybody who gives him access or kickbacks is the point. They give him sponsorship or access to their facilities for content, and in return they get exposure on his growing channel. One hand washes the other. His channel is not a charity.
I understand how sponsorship works. Your assumption that his videos are shilling his sponsors products is not founded.
You're naive to think that his channel isn't monetized and that there isn't mutual agreement of benefit for both parties involved there.
Or the Kia/Hyundai GDI motors
I'm a fan boy of both HPL and Valvoline Restore and Protect right now. Time will tell which will win.
Right? Plus using the dipstick eye test to declare that Valvoline has done an excellent job with Valvoline Restore and Protect?
Varnish in an ICE that’s a daily driven mom wagon….meh, I wouldn’t bat an eye
Exactly what I was thinking.
