That video had the two guys that trained lake and I have no idea what you are saying, but that isn't what the video is. But since you brought it up, what about fully driven oil isn't for passenger cars? Lack of emulsifiers?

Sulfur instead on zinc for cam break in, huh.

Talks about ester helping zddp get to surface, perhaps it helps modtc.

Brings up the question of why a ticking engine benefits from a race oil considering the facts in this video. No they didn't say it, why helps answer why trucks go silent on some oils that happen to have similar chemistry = pao/ester with moly plus zinc, and what that does for the surface of metal in a high performance engine.

I'm just commenting on a video he did long ago explaining why his oil for his racing team wasn't for street use. He blathered on for an hour so I don't remember all the ranting. You want me to look it up and re-post?

I got to head out and get more chores done before a major heat wave hits soon.

You brought it up, and yes if there is a specific aspect of an high performance oil that shouldn't be used for passenger engines would certainly be relevant. I'm not into blather I gave it up for lint, but if the video had a time stamp where the point is made I am sure we all would appreciate that. PS, I know there is no I in lent but I always say it that way to piz of the Catholics in my family :)

I'll see if I can dig it up, won't guarantee I'll time stamp search, we're getting ready for hot weather next week.

I'm pretty sure it's this video, it's "only" 37 minutes long which is like a snapchat for Lake.

I may or may not get around to re-watching it. I searched for it spilling dinner on my lap.

my kind of guy, 17 "illegal" car fixes, lol. First one = oil.


Is that dude even real or is he just an AI bot? He seems slightly...off.

Why would 1/4 quart over the fill line make the oil pump circulate oil faster, that doesn't make any sense. The pump isn't relying on the pressure of the fluid to push oil into the intake...
