Babymax Oil Viscosity Change

[AXE]

Here's a video that discusses the Babymax oil viscosity tests this guy has done.

“Ugliness showed up with the AMSOIL”

I don’t know if there were any surprises there or not, and would have liked to see a couple changes of course, but overall it’s a baseline of information.
I have thought about a different viscosity especially down here where summer is pretty hard on that 0W20
Thanks for the vid.

Oil choice is kinda like underwear choice...very personal, and everyone else's is wrong. That being said, there was a time in my past that I lost two very good race engines to Amsoil, and after the second loss, switched out of that and the problem appeared to solve itself. I never used it again. Since they mentioned oxidation, Mobil-1 had problems in aircraft engines because it couldn't displace the lead in the fuel, which was causing corrosion of camshafts in both Continental and Lycoming engines, in addition to lead sludge, so Mobile withdrew that oil from production and no longer recommends using it. Subsequent testing indicated that Mobil-1 performed poorly in protecting engines from corrosion, when infrequently operated.

wait... people wear underwear????!?!?!?!


I couldn't agree more. I do get that data speaks volume, but like all good things on this fine blue ball in space, if someone can argue about how one thing is better than other they will typically chose to do so.

oh and I'll say this. Yankees SUCK! (because everyone that likes them is wrong)

I don't mind the team...it's the fans I can't stand....and the hex they put on the Rays for using their training facility as a season ballpark. Hurricane damage and all that.....

If I am following along correctly, those that don’t wear underwear shouldn’t put oil in the engines?

or is it those who do wear underwear can poop any type of oil into them.

I am new to diesel engines. Based on that video would you change your drawers...I mean oil?

Definitely NOT bought at Costco.
