  1. This must have been the longest ad I've seen in a long time.

  2. How did the water get into oil? Is the head gasket leaking ever so slightly that it could leak water into oil when there was only air in the oil channel? And when there's oil pressure, that can just barely keep enough pressure to avoid water.

  3. 29:30 Impressive amount of foam! More than half of all the oil in that container has transformed to foam which obviously lubricates much worse than the oil so your metal parts might start grinding if you used this oil.

  4. 19:20 50 µin/div seems like a really weird unit to use. Do you think µin has any value over µm?

  5. I'd love to see a test where you use this 0W-8 motor oil in an older gasoline or diesel engine. Will it leak and burn with the fuel or is it good for older engines, too? If it provides adequate protection and doesn't leak past piston rings or other seals, having lighter more easily moving oil even with older engines should be good, right?

  6. 17:05 I would extend that expression to other areas, too. I love high quality engineering but I hate marketing departments in general. If some marketing department actually uses scientifically accurate expressions, that's very very rare.
