Great video and explanation.

great design the filter under the manifold

Back in time when my family owned our first car, we hardly ever did an oil change, as the engine would use about one pint every 1000 miles. We would top up the oil in a garage that had a forecourt dispenser; 50 SAE for summer use, and 30 SAE for winter use, So at any one time we would have a mixture of the two in the engine. The pistons then were pure aluminium, and the cylinders were cast iron. Nowadays Chromium Steel is used for the cylinders, and the pistons are made of a harder mixture of metals.

@sayingnigromakesyoutubecry2647

Wow that's amazing. That's why they call new oil SAE 30w-50 for example. If you used 30 SAE there was nothing you could do about it when the engine reached full temperature. It's thinner. Technology did come a long way and engines are better than ever!

Scotty you will work circles around a lot of the youngsters that I know

On engine oil weights, like in my beater Mazda 3, it having almost 200k I adjusted for the internal wear and tear plus the heat of Summer, I went from a 5W20 to a 10W40 and will adjust to a 10W30 for Winter. With the engine showing lower oil pressure than normal,adjusting weights to manage the pressure. This will allow good lubrication and less likely for bearing failure. The previous owner didn’t do this and the timing chain wore out, luckily he sold it before the bearings went so I am able to prevent any further damage.
