Go look at any Pennzoil Platinum UOA and compare it to M1 or Castrol results - viscosity is always lower than them

You didn't really answer the question
Use your head to derive the answer from my comment.You didn't really answer the question
What data are we using to make this definitive assessment?

The question was: "how did the oil thin out, was it shear or fuel dilution?"
Your response was: "look at the UOA's, viscosity is lower than *insert other brand*"
There's absolutely no way to infer an answer to that question from your response, because it in no way addresses it. Furthermore, this statement is that it's thinner than other brands, but your earlier assertion was that it was thinning out. These are not the same thing, so which is it?

I know it's an older thread but where is @thunderous1335 ? These guys just disappear when it's time to answer the bell. Happens a lot here it seems.
A good plug for his company SpeedDiagnostix too.
Lol No.
Do you work for him?
Lake is a friend of mine going back many years. He's an excitable character, passionate about what he does, and isn't sponsored by anyone except his own analysis company.
That’s beautiful.

I really enjoy watching his videos, he's really the only guy on YouTube that knows what he's talking about. Everyone else just does their silly backyard oil tests that have zero scientific merit.

Some of LSJr's content is interesting, some of it is misleading IMO. It's not that I think he doesn't know what he's talking about. Rather, I think it's the effect of having to "dumb down" the content for the average YT user. And so for us who know the details well, some of his information isn't presented with the accuracy of finite details we expect. I've never met him, but he seems to me to be a person who's so excited and passionate about his craft that he often overruns the details and homogenizes things that should not be glossed over. And so, while his videos are entertaining, they're not always accurate, or at least misleading to those who cannot discern appropriate differences.

This is another thread about his YT content. It's a long thread, so it's a lengthy read. I picked a point where Tom starts to describe and analyze the details; read the thread to its end. You can see that what LSJr presents isn't always good to take a face value. On the topic of oxidation comparison/contrast, it's clear that LSJr is taking liberties with assumptions which are not well founded.

LSjr Tests VOA of 20 yr old Valvoline & 40 yr old Mobil 1 Oil. HPL tests Anti-Foam in Gear Oil.
Shell has an ego to them. They rather spend the money on marketing Rotella, than make Rotella a good product. There was a thread that I got bashed pretty hard in on the HDEO side of the forum. It spelled out why I don’t like Rotella. Thank you for your insight. Can you recommend some decent...

Shear with heavier duty cycle vs prior. I plan to decrease OCI to mitigate when a heavier duty cycle is experienced in the future.

Again, no one can tell the difference between mechanical shear of the VM and fuel dilution via a Blackstone analysis. That's what Overkill is saying.
