This guy's rating of PZ is more than fatally flawed:
actually if you knew how an engine works, you would realize that the intake valve stems are constantly in oil, and that a very small amount of oil alway seeps past the seal. pennzoil oil has a detergent in it that gums up the engine, and leads to engine failure, its like sludge in a bottle. dont use it. ask any person (including myself) that rebuilds engines for a living, when we take apart the engine and see all the gum/wax whatever you wanna call it, we ask the customer what oil they used... guess what they say. and thats one more person that i helped realize why there engine prematurely died.

He sums up his own ignorance nicely:
...it is like sludge in a bottle. don't use it.


Some myths never die.

(And some people refuse to use capitalization, too.)
 
I'm always amazed at how many stupid people there are in this world. So many people lie too which is scary.
 
That's up there with the guy who said switching to synthetic oil will form "lapping paste" in your engine. He was quite detailed in his description of what occurs.

hey hey now, DR NO & I called the mechanic an idiot when someone had the thread about havoline ds and the mechanic said not to use it because of the same thing and farrarfan1 got all upset with us because we called him and idiot, so be careful!

But yeah, dude is a MO-RON!
 
I'd still call him an idiot.

Well, he suggested asking someone like him who rebuilds engines for a living, and I qualify.
So if you ask me I will answer as professionally as possible, being as open-minded as possible, and without being unkind...


Dude's a freaking idiot.

LOL... maybe not an idiot but for sure ignorant of the subject
 
Seriously, he must live in the Bizaro world!

Other juicy tidbits he probably cooked up:
9/11 was a government conspiracy
we never really landed on the moon
if peas and carrots touch each other on your plate, [censored] has frozen over

People are retarded. Seriously, why do they repeat the same myths over and over again?
 
It kind of reminds me of this one video I saw on YouTube once. It was an except from a news broadcast showing a "mechanic" telling you to get your oil changed every 3,000 miles. It showed new oil, which was obviously golden and semi-transparent. It showed oil that had 3,000 miles on it which looked a lot darker, and oil with 5,000 miles on it, and it was thick like molasses and the engine "seized." You could tell that whatever engine that came from, it was either using SA rated oil, or had some kinda crazy coolant leak or one of the sludge-effected engines. It made me want to roll my eyes. EDIT: Found it! Get a load of this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=AXb8LTTSLjg
