Not to go too far off topic, but no, the V70 stays in the family.Does this mean that the well maintained '01 V70 T5 will be posted in the "for sale" thread? Asking for some friends.
My son and his fiancé get what I bought on sale or decide to pick up. Currently that is Mobil FS for the Tucson and PP Euro-L (with a qt of HPL PCMO) for the Forte.
Who knows what happens when they decide to move after the wedding. Hopefully I can still be there to help like @Astro14.
Sure, but you seem to be packaging all boutique oils under the same umbrella and because he happened to formulate his own boutique oil that performed worse in one test, that "throws HPL under the bus" because they make boutique oils too... that's not how it works.
HPL's oils weren't even tested (like you said). He just grabbed some raw materials off their shelf, through them together and tested it. That in no way reflects poorly on HPL since as he also said in the video all the raw materials and the ad packs for every different oil brand all come from the same few sources.
(and just in case you're wondering, I'm a very satisfied customer of HPL)
This quote is from the video.
"So this is actually a really important thing to understand because a lot of times oil marketers are going to say 'well this boutique blend is better because it has these fancy ingredients.' Well fancy ingredients doesn't always translate into better performance. You have to define better."
I don't think we are allowed to gripe about how irritating the guy is. But yeah the bug eyed excitement, for entertainment only. His content was good, just repeating BITOG 2014 or so, if paying attention.I have a hard time watching these because he speaks out the side of his mouth and never blinks
Listening to him at an increased speed doesn't make your head explode?I put him on 1.5x or 1.75x speed, which helps with dry material.
Everyone has ticks, patterns, and idiosyncrasies when they speak. It takes deliberate effort and practice to stop. And unfortunately the camera makes it seem worse than it is in real life. Anyone who has done a lot of recorded public speaking knows what I’m talking about. Like me for instance I am a hand talker which can be very distracting. I have had to put my hands in my pockets or hold a drink to ensure I do it less before.I have a hard time watching these because he speaks out the side of his mouth and never blinks
You mean an oil race isn’t an industry standard test?I'm more focused on the content. He's getting to some of the core issues in some of these videos.
There are only (3) YT channels related to oil that are good IMO:
1. Lubrication Explained
2. LSJ
3. Spanish YT channel (just for VOA's)
All others are gimmicky at BEST and downright laughable.
....meantime FordBossMe is comparing B/S Lab additive levels and Project Farmer is putting oils in coffee pots.
But he calls the race better than the horse trackYou mean an oil race isn’t an industry standard test?
Slightly predictable responses from some in this group.In this thread: a lot of judgement from guys who have never spoken in front of a crowd or "put themselves out there" in public for the world to see.
If you want smooth talking and pretty faces, Hollywood is that way -->
Can we stick to the content please. I don't care what he looks like or sounds like, I'm not marrying him.
After you have run their oil for 200-300 K in the same engine at 10K OCIs get back with us and give us a report.Do you think you turn up the fanboy a little more.
No. Enjoy my opinion. Go back and read it.In this thread: a lot of judgement from guys who have never spoken in front of a crowd or "put themselves out there" in public for the world to see.

people are allowed to state their opinions on him whether or not they have done public speaking. By that logic we cant say some food is bad because we aren't chefs?In this thread: a lot of judgement from guys who have never spoken in front of a crowd or "put themselves out there" in public for the world to see.
