The whole notion of “YouTube Oil Experts” is a non sequitur as far as I’ve seen. As much as some uninformed people like to disparage PhD scientists, they are the experts. And so far I haven’t seen any on YouTube. Perhaps I’m not looking, or don’t care to look.
Experts don’t include some goofy dood who tests oils with a wear scar machine and also does knife and hammer tests on the side. Nor does it include a guy with a marketing degree.
If people think these are the experts then you’re seriously mistaken.

Balanced by those who are ignorant of actual data.
His observations don’t translate into use WHAT SO EVER so doing oil show downs and brackets is super annoying. Even more annoying is Amsoil using that nonsense as advertising material. For example his bearing test has been shown useless in an engine application and his cold “flow” test have shown to be useless in cold “pump” ability. He just tallied up additive count with disregard to balance, type or effectiveness and whichever had the most was scored better. Yet he spent WEEKS bracketing oils based on this nonsense AND declaring a winner. I’d say that’s a little more than observation. He does do some useful testing but OIL is not one of them. He doesn’t have the equipment, money, time or knowledge to present rankings the way he did. He might have the money the way that was eaten up lol.
Amsoil used PF video? What what??
Simple solution. Don't like it, don't watch it. Thats what I do with Scotty and LSJr.
I think that the generation of improved AI videos is one of the most dangerous aspects of AI. A bunch of damage can be done with a simple video.
"A picture is worth 1000 words" sort of thing.
If you can make the picture whatever you want, you can have anyone in your back pocket.
Imagine some guy comes up with a picture of you committing a serious crime...... Or a video of you cheating on your wife. Or, any other like situation you can think of. What would you be willing to do to not have that picture or video made public? My guess is that most would do almost anything.

I didn’t say they used it but as far as I’m concerned this acknowledgment of the “trophy” (like real testing was done) on a video with over 2 millions views is advertising both PF and the results.

Jason is a good guy and knows his stuff. He lives near me and I've been trying to meet up with him for years. Now that he has a GR Corolla I've been trying to get him to meet up with our local group.
I like Lake Speed, Jr and I'm even doing an oil test with him now. I just wish that YouTube would stop the garbage AI videos.

The AI slop train is overtaking all major platforms, providing a ceaseless barrage of hallucinated garbage. Saw an AI post on FB yesterday bragging about how Ontario has connected the world's first SMR to the grid... Except we literally just placed the basemat for the unit a few weeks ago, which officially marks the start of "construction". We'll be lucky if it's done by 2030.
86K follower account, pure hallucinated AI slop:
I'm already done with the AI slop low effort videos flooding YouTube. Its even more annoying when they make a video with years old inaccurate data (referring to a Top Tier gasoline video I watched a while back), oil ranking videos where the AI is going off of peoples opinions on certain brands of oil, or make constant slop/misleading videos talking about the all new "2026 Pontiac lineup" when all I'm trying to do is find videos from people who own the same car as me.
The guy that adds up “wear metals” from singular UOA and ranks an oil.

Ridiculous comment …
LSJr. is the king of the "single data point", something that would never, ever fly in industry.
