Scotty is after the clicks on his channel. The more clicks he gets, the more money he makes. Notice, almost everyday he has a video. Most of his videos are just plain nonsense.
Exactly, it's quantity over quality. It's just rubbish content.

I'd say that in general that is kind of true. However, plenty of stuck piston ring Toyota engines, failed timing/balancer chain BMW, GM, Ford, VW and entire engine failures from Hyundai/Kia say otherwise. Not to mention non-failure related problems like improper cam timing due to chain/guide wear.Changing oil with an appropriate interval with an oil that meets the engine spec's is all that is needed.
He’s not wrong. If it meets the required spec for the vehicle, it’s as good as anything else. These days your beater probably has better oil than the people buying Porsches that really can’t afford them. I see newer Porsches with Dayton tires at Jiffy Lube getting the coupon special oil change.Just ran into a Scotty Kilmer short video on YouTube. He is trying to convince people that as long as the ratings in the bottle is up to spec, in the case O’Reilly vs Castrol GTX, you are just wasting money on the more expensive oil. There is no context, like an old beater that burns a quart of oil a week, or your new Porsche 718 Cayman sports car.
Needless to say, the comment section is not agreeable with his video.
Do you think that he just trying to stir up attention for YouTube payday, or do you think that he really doesn’t know that most oil is blended differently and performs different from one another?
Mobil 1 EP 0W-20 vs. Castrol GTX 0W-20 - oh yeah, they're "equal" alright.He’s not wrong. If it meets the required spec for the vehicle, it’s as good as anything else.
Does it meet the same specs?Mobil 1 EP 0W-20 vs. Castrol GTX 0W-20 - oh yeah, they're "equal" alright.
THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I had to block this guy on YouTube, since I watch a lot of car related videos and clicked on a few of his posted here, YouTube seemed to think all I wanted to watch was Scotty. I don't find him entertaining and he isn't a source of any reliable information.
I watch a decent number of car / repair videos as well and every so often they'll recommend his to me but if you don't watch them, they usually fall away.since I watch a lot of car related videos and clicked on a few of his posted here, YouTube seemed to think all I wanted to watch was Scotty.
I recall one where he put brake fluid in a fuel tank and ran or tried to run the car.It looks like quality content to me
We don't know if it's as good as anything else. All we know is it meets the specs like anything else.He’s not wrong. If it meets the required spec for the vehicle, it’s as good as anything else.

Well, entertainment value only goes so far before stupidity takes over.I recall one where he put brake fluid in a fuel tank and ran or tried to run the car.
It meets minimum specifications. A company like ExxonMobil strives to give its customers something extra in the form of a Premium Product. Not everyone bothers to read their PDS and MSDS documents, or most consumers don't even know what they are or how to look them up, however, they know Mobil 1 by reputation.We don't know if it's as good as anything else. All we know is it meets the specs like anything else.
Bingo!It meets minimum specifications.
Analytics show he makes about $1.5m/year. Not too shabby from my meager perspective.Don't know about wealthy, but his marketing "schtick" is genius.
I need to work on my video skills and sub par adviceAnalytics show he makes about $1.5m/year. Not too shabby from my meager perspective.
Then hanging around here is more than likely pointless.Hate to burst a bubble, but he is 100% correct.
If your car calls for SP rated oil, and makes no mention of any other required certifications, then the cheapest SP rated oil is just fine.
If you car calls for Chrysler MS6395 rated oil, then find one on the shelf that’s meets that spec. It’s really that simple.

I want to see a Bitog member(s) post some oil advise video(s).
