He does say good information, generally. But he at times makes mistakes. For example in this video, he makes a physical error at 1:45. Where he starts "The main reason". Yes, the BTU's in a given fill up in the morning won't change to the afternoon albeit it's expansion, but it does expand! So it follows that an afternoon fill up of 10 gallons has less BTU's then 10 gallons in the morning! (Even though when comparing that same 10 gallons in the afternoon with the little less volume the next morning, BTU's didn't change) So there he didn't know what he was talking about. I hope when he sees this he will make the correction. Regards, Peter.

If 90% of engine wear happens at Startup, imagine how long engines would last if they designed them to circulate oil when you turned the key first before the engine started.

[@KB4QAA]

EW: There are systems called "Pre-oilers" that circulate the oil prior to start. In the past they were used on some large aircraft radial engines. Some large industrial equipment may have them.

[@ALittleBitOfGay]

I think a lot of oil pumps run off the serpentine belt, so you'd need a secondary pump. Some modern cars probably do this, but I don't know of any. :)

If you have a Ford you can push the gas pedal all the way down, that way it cuts fuel and you can crank the engine until the oil pressure light turns off, then start the engine.

Scotty, the oil only being good for one year might be a myth as well, projectfarm did a test of old oil recently and the lab results showed the oil was still good.

[@thisorthat7626]

Projectfarm is a great channel. I have learned a lot from him and Scotty.

[@danclay8229]

I haven't observed any store clerks removing old oil from the shelves. If you could clean the oil you could reuse it for a long long time.

[@billherzog5375]

Right but when the oil is exposed to the elements that's a different story. Moisture, heat and oxygen blah blah LoL

[@ChrisD53893]

the main issue is the oil filter. in most cases if your gonna spend the time replacing the oil filter you might as well replace the oil. but its true deoending on driving conditions oil can last a long time but still some additives for resisting wear and detergents that keep contaminants suspended in the oil so that the filter can filter them out can also get affected, but the biggest thing is the oil filter while most modern oil filters are good, but they have a limit on how much they can trap and hold then when it gets too much and causes a blockage the filters are built with a bypass for when the inlet pressure is too great and thus your oil is no longer getting filtered. so you can essentially run extended oil drain intervals but replacing the filter and just topping off is a must if you do this. but i would say i would never go over 15-20k without changing my oil.

[@andrewt9204]

@MegaStick93 until the friction modifiers wear out, or the TBN hits 0. Then the oil becomes acidic. Most full synthetic oil run out of base additives at ~10k miles. You can't use the same oil forever no matter how good the filter is.

I've actually tested the AC thing. On a 2014 Ford Focus Ti 5 door, you get 1.5 MPG less with AC on and windows rolled up. If you roll the windows all the way down, it loses that minimal 1.5 mpg and can sometimes lose up to 3 to 4 mpg due to aerodynamic drag. Modern AC compressors are indeed more economical than windows rolled down.

As a kid in the early 80s, my family had a 76 Country Squire and whenever we'd go up the slightest incline on the highway my dad would turn off the A/C or else the engine would overheat. Around town - forget it. Rolled down the windows. Later in the 90's in college, I had an 82 Accord. Turn on the A/C and horsepower would drop by half. I only used it going downhill to help slow down the car. No need to downshift, just turn on the A/C - save your brakes.

I wish my DeWalt 80 Amp starter / charger with alternator checker had the circuit in it to analyze the battery cells. Saved me from 5 dead battery occasions, so it definitely paid for itself.

For regular not synthetic oil, I feel 3000 is a good idea, as I can feel the difference after 3000 miles, the engine runs rougher, has less power. Synthetic lasts a lot longer, hence the higher price.
