Thanks for everything else and David do for enthusiasts. You both provide insightful and much needed content and insightful information to us performance nuts!
I use to put the old OIL cap upside down on my Edelbrock valve covers and when people said wow what kind of motor is that😂 I'd say its a 710 Edelbrock crate engine lol
I know when im due for an oil change just by the color of the oil on the dipstick ! My 94 chevy s10 2.2 on average is about 2,800 miles 125 hrs of use and about every 4 months ! Supertech oil and oil filter ! Works for me !
Nice! That was a great live with Lake. I go 6000mi on my 2016 Dart (2.4L) with Mobil 1 full synthetic. For the older pushrod (and flat tappet) engines I found Mystic works good. I changed those as the oil gets dirty. The whole 10k oil change thing is good if you are going to get rid of your auto around 100k miles (based on industry testing not opinion)
Always and I mean Always use the manufacturers recommended viscosity if you want your engine to live a long life, and change at the intervals that they recommend as well as a high quality filter. It doesn't matter if it's a pushrod engine or ohc. Please, Please, Please change your oil people!!! Coming from a multi-brand mechanic for 31 years 95% of all premature engine failures are because of neglected oil changes or low oil levels. I know what I'm talking about 👍 Thanks Andy for shining a light on this important but overlooked topic!!!
I'd, like to know, Lake Speed jr's input on running zinc with catalytic converters, today. In the beginning catalytic converters were introduced, with flat tappet cams. Zinc was removed, because catalytic converters, were being plugged. Zinc, was removed from the oil. Then flat tappet cams, were wiping out. Zinc, was necessary for flat tappet cams. This, was the time to invent the roller cam and lifters. If, zinc was destroying catalytic converters then. What, keeps it from destroying them now? I, noticed the VR1, you were putting in the 2.3 ecoboost.
I've run rotella t6 in 4 modern cars for a combined mileage of 350,000 miles with 75% of that mileage being on the last 2, oil changes done every 5k and I never had any sort of catalytic converter plugging issues...also helps that your pcv valve functions properly and doesn't suck up and burn the oil and also helps if your turbo seals are actually sealing to prevent any oil seeping into the intake tract
Andy there's one thing I always did after about 120 130,000 miles I always went a step up in viscosity to compensate for wear. I'd love to know what the three of you think of that
You mentioned you have a Coyote engine, so do I. My question is this, my engine takes 10 quarts of oil, with double the amount of oil that most cars take, do you think I can go past 5K miles to perhaps 7K miles? The recommended weight for the engine is 5W-20 but it seems like 5W-30 would be a better choice for at least the summers here in NC; your thoughts on that.

Thank you so much Karl! We still need to get together for a live...
There's no "i" in oil south of the Mason/Dixie line!
Given enough time, Yankees CAN learn to speak correctly. 😆😆
Great video. Yes we take our oil for granted. I love Lake’s videos watch most all of his videos.
Thanks Andy or this viedeo. Here in this channel is always something to learn form beginner to pro niveau.
Thanks

Hyundai santa fe have cam problems when people use too thick of oil,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

The inside of the piston top is HOT. Splash oil slinging out of the rod bearings is what cools it. 👍😎

Great information for us lesser learned!
Andy, it's been a Hydraulic Fluid for a long long time.... hydraulic lifters.
Thanks for all the info. in easily understandable English.

My car requires 5w20. But the owners manual also says I can also use 5w30. Being that my car is 13 years old I use the 5w30

I would NEVER run VR1 in the Mustang.. That is for MIXED UP BOSS in Casper
Andy
The catalyst in the converter and shape has changed a lot since the beginning. Those bead converters were awful in the beginning.
@@UnityMotorSportsGarage 9:05 You, had a quart of VR1 under the hood of the 2.3. Wrong choice, for the video, maybe?
@@strokermaverick no that was for Casper outside... It's that simple

Manufacturers get points from the EPA for extending the oil change!
We need more crown vic, 4.6 content, brother!!
Great video Andy.
Andy....Is Casper going to make it to NoName ya I'm early but sikeston hotels are filling up fast.

I did learn something. I did not know it obsorbed gasses and burned them off.
Hello everyone. Oil is very important to any engine.
Bad oil is better than NO OIL.
Nicely done.
I saw a video on changing oil on a Hummer and the old oil was still clean .
Could adding an oil cooler help drop engine temperature on my 427w Hammer head motor with 12.5 compression and I'm running 110 Sunoco only.???
It depends on how you are using the engine.
Andy
Dead on point !!!

Hey, I got a question for ya...
What oil pan did you use on Casper when you had the small block in it?
HEY ANDY GREAT VIDEO
Put that boss in a fox body mustang or maverick and have some fun in street class
I'm already a Geek Freak.
Oil is the most complicated thing in any engine.
What happen to the 318-dyno testing? Guess it's not going happen? Is it salty issue now?
Hay Andy. Does David still have my number? How about a live with me with topics that have not been covered yet?
