Look up the relevant ASTM test and see if it represents what you're asking.

PF should stick with unsophisticated tests like glueing things together and placing weights on them.
Lubricant tests, testing labs, and harmonizing agencies = $multimillion sectors …

I don't think it's so much being triggered as it is, as always, how folks write things online. Instead of "While these videos are entertaining, the testing methodologies are not relevent to how the oil actually works in your engine which is why there are specific test for that and why you shouldn't place weight on these for ranking motor oil performance."....but what we usually get is "I can't believe people post this here (on an oil site..ahhaha) and his tests are stupid and he should stick to XYZ tests"....or something along those lines and then the threads get locked.

No - put you on ignore instead …
I'm with ya there
and if someone here on the BITOG forum can do a better job/review then do it instead of just knocking Project Farms...

thats your opinion...If you can do better then do it....
Most of YouTube is inaccurate content. I watched a guy tell me my Vikings are a clinch to get to the Superbowl. As a fan, I know this is highly unlikely.
Dont feel bad I am a Cleveland Browns fan so that tells you how my years has gone...but they did win today in OT...

What is inaccurate about it? PF is making no claim to be some ExxonMobil level lab.
Not sure if I follow. If it is clearly wrong information, I can live without it. What’s the value?
Not disagreeing. But this is a situation where there are industry standard tests for evaluating the factors in dispute.

The Blackstone reports for these oils lead me to wonder why some people here are so against HM oils. I've had people in recent days basically say that HM oils are pointless or stupid. I don't know, to me an extra bit of anti-wear, a little extra seal conditioning action, and some increased dispersants doesn't sound like a bad deal. They're the same price and you basically get a more stout additive pack for no trade off. Why NOT use HM oils?
You must be fun to party with. You would be telling me my beer doesn't conform to industry standard.
Another bickering session caused by a Project Farm entertainment video that features oil.
