@themotoroilgeek I was a fan of your Dad in racing. He was the king of doing a lot with so little. He also raised a great son. I was and Automotive tech for over 50 years and a race fan and a short track racing engine builder for most of that time. I love listening to people who know their job and back it up with test results and technical skill. You seem to be so passionate and not just a career. Not many of people like you around any longer. You also always seem to be happy with your life. That is a bonus! I believe that you were at Gibbs when Toyota started in Nascar. The Camshaft failures they had seem to have had was a huge problem and it appeared that the Driven motor oils seem to have helped. That says a lot. Thank goodness we have roller lifters in NASCAR now. Keep up the passion and intelligence as it makes you a rare person these days.

With the cost of new cars and maintenance through the life of the vehicle, the cost of maintenance and oil changes is diddly squat compared to having a new engine built. Same thing applies to transmissions and brake systems. Maintenance and fluid changes are going to save you money hands down in the long run.
@briangriffin-ir4nk2 ай бұрын
In the 2 years since I bought my brand new Toyota, I’ve done 4 oil changes in 8,500 miles because of the conditions I drive in. Short trips 6 days a week. If you pull the dipstick out and the oil is dark, it will be solid black when you pull the drain plug out. I don’t let my vehicles get to that point, so I will assume that I can get 300k miles on the original engine. ????

I used oil analysis when I was an owner operator. The condition of the oil tells you so much about the condition of your engine. I never experienced a single catastrophic failure in millions and millions of miles of operation. Your oil tells you what is wrong well before any kind of failure and you can get it scheduled for repair in plenty of time. We used 1 micron oil filtration and sampled every 15000 miles on our MBE4000s and made engines everyone told me would die around 850,000 miles all run 1.5-2 million miles before rebuilding. We bought them around 550-600k miles and ran them as team trucks. Most reliable trucks I ever owned.

For the $35 is costs to have tested, its way cheaper than letting a bearing spin or something like that.

After over 35 years in the automotive service industry, with 10 years with Porsche and 25+ years in my own foreign car shop, I have lived by and preached that maintenance is the key to longevity. Mt automotive experiences and love came from my teenage years in the 60s when we built and dropped V8s into everything. Building hot rods, either for ourselves or others, is what kept us out of trouble. After that, I enlisted in the Navy and was designated an Engineman. That's where my diesel experience started. When I got out, Porsche was the only manufacturer that offered me a decent job. My career choice helped me become a millionaire. I'm "retired" now and this video was extremely interesting and memory-producing, thanks! In regards to detergent fuels, Costco is one of the only places that carries Tier 1 detergent fuel.

I was reading about a Peterbilt with a series 60 Detroit 425 HP engine. Almost zero engine wear at one million miles and only one oil change. Im a little familiar with this truck. It used Shell Rotella 15 W 40 conventional oil and a Gulf Coast O2 bypass filter. A mechanic didnt get the word to not dispose of the oil. Its misleading to say only 1 oil change in a million miles. The Gulf Coast bypass filter holds 3 gallons of oil. Thats 3 gallons of new Rotella every 10 K miles. Then you have the full flow filters changed every 50 K miles. Road King magazine article said that is equal to a full oil change every 40 K miles. I dont drain the oil in my 06 Pontiac but every 6 K miles I change the Australian Jackmaster Classic and add a new quart of synthetic oil. I drive mostly highway. I started in 1963 with a Frantz oil cleaner and Standard Delo 30W. In those days we changed the bypass filters more often and added more new makeup oil.

I’ve worked on Panda’s many times, and have owned a few. In terms of the last few models, the 1.1 and 1.2 Fire engines are extremely durable, but I’d always do what you did and change the oil around 2k miles earlier. The MultiAir engine is fragile by comparison; not only do I recommend 6-8k max oil changes, but also baby them a little, they have issues that can easily catch people unaware and mechanical failures in the MultiAir can be terminal at very low mileages. The new FireFly isn’t as fragile as the MultiAir, but it can’t handle the mileage that the Fire engines can. You made the right decision for sure.

As a retired cotton topped tech and shop owner since I was 10 years old you never quit learning in automotive. Fascinating stuff. We also had at our disposal a lubrication specialist of many years. We could call Dave and he rarely needed to consult a computer. He had a memory beyond belief and a passion similar to Lake's. He retired about two years ago as I did which is too bad for our industry. Love automotive KZbin shows of which your on top. Tanning in Tucson.

I agree with your oil change recommendation 100% I change mine every 5000km’s because my daily driver Infiniti SUV calls for every 10,000km’s intervals. I also agree with Lake’s comment about Porsche owners not driving their cars, however that doesn’t apply to me, because I have 250,000 km’s on my 1985 Porsche. And the engine hasn’t been apart yet. I actually sent Lake Speed Jr a question on the oil I’m using in my Porsche and he responded to me within hours. He’s a smart cookie. Awesome video as usual Dave, thanks for sharing with us 👍👍 To anyone reading my comment let’s not forget about the miles vs kilometres. We are using kilometres in Canada

@andyjohnson65482 ай бұрын
@@donniev8181 maybe years ago with conventional oils, but today with the good quality synthetic oils that’s out there I don’t believe we need to change our oil every 2500miles. Plus most cars and trucks back in the day only had 4 or 5 quarts of conventional oil in them. These days car oil capacity is much more. So I believe it depends on the car and the amount of oil it takes plus if it’s conventional or synthetic oil that determines how often you need to change your oil. Plus the kind of driving and the climate you drive in would also play a role in the intervals you change the oil. However I’d still change it half way through the manufactures suggested intervals. My antique Porsche has a oil change every spring after it’s been stored for the winter, and that thing holds almost 9 quarts of synthetic. I change it because the car sits for so long not because it has a lot of miles on the oil. I’m not saying that everyone should do what I’m doing, I’m just giving my two cents on the topic. Are you changing your oil that often? And if you are I’m sure it will definitely do your car a lot of good in the long run. I just done the conversion for km’s to miles and 2500 miles is 4023 km’s so I think we are both on the same page👍

@andyjohnson6548 Yes, I just recently purchased a new 2024 Toyota Camry SE, so I've only done my 1000-mile break-in oil change. However, I'm going to change my oil regularly every 2500-3000 miles and my filter ever second oil change. Oil is cheap, and engines are expensive.

My old man did oil testing for MANY large engine oil companies back in the mid 70's and the stuff he would tell me about, engine oil, rings, pistons, wearing, etc, all that, sound JUST like this oil guy talking. So I guess my old (now 78 year old) man was correct after all these years and to think, he had no formal training, just learned about it through testing and deductive reasoning.

@drizler25 күн бұрын

@Ray000692 күн бұрын
They recommend at those intervals because they have been formulated tested on real life scenarios. They also tell you to do oil testing to know and not predict if it’s safe to continue. The reason why amsoil are they’re on their own and not a labeling market along with others that have green environmental label. It’s because they’re not being controlled by main oil companies. There oil have more additives and much more protection compared to your local oil brands you find anywhere. I’m a amsoil user and I can testify that running there oil and changing my oil at certain mileage and having it being tested. They tell me whether it’s safe or not. You also have to understand the science behind it too. I have 2016 GMC and many other vehicles that I bought new. I have always ran amsoil oil. Not a single engine failure and even my turbocharged vehicles have not experience a single piston failure or turbo.

As an owner of an old 7.3 IDI I can confirm that even with an electric fuel system that’s air tight, new injectors and the IP timed right my IDI won’t run right without a quart of atf in the fuel. It’ll start weird, & have issues starting. I can also tell that if fuel is older it’ll take longer to start. Here in the US we have crappy fuel quality. I got a bad batch of fuel at a fuel station one time, & later down the road 10 miles the truck stalled. Coasted into a gas station and found my fuel pump Pre-screen was plugged. Cleaned it out, bled the fuel and within 10 min I was running again.

They are the size of a 20hp Kohler oil filter...but im totally impressed on how these units hang on without real attention, .thanks for the tech info here Gentilemen.

A PF63 is fine if the oil change interval is correct... which is about 3000 miles earlier than the oil life (lie) meter. Funny enough GM trucks sold in the last few years have an oil life meter that is programmed to hit 0% way sooner than GM trucks sold 10 years ago. The biggest thing causing damage on GM engines today is that guys believe the lies on the jug of oil that claim it's a 7k or 10k mile oil. Especially if it's an engine with AFM lifters. Gotta keep the oil clean for those lifters to be reliable. Now that the HD gassers have the same direct injection fuel system and AFM, you gotta change the oil often. Change it as often as the old timers changed oil and don't worry so much about oil filters because the soot that DI engines make is almost identical to the soot that diesel engines make according to Lubrizol. That soot ends up in the oil as does unburned gasoline and causes most of the problems that people complain about with GM V8's (and their DI passenger car engines). That soot is so fine that there isn't an oil filter sold for gasoline engines that can capture it.
