@themotoroilgeek I was a fan of your Dad in racing. He was the king of doing a lot with so little. He also raised a great son. I was and Automotive tech for over 50 years and a race fan and a short track racing engine builder for most of that time. I love listening to people who know their job and back it up with test results and technical skill. You seem to be so passionate and not just a career. Not many of people like you around any longer. You also always seem to be happy with your life. That is a bonus! I believe that you were at Gibbs when Toyota started in Nascar. The Camshaft failures they had seem to have had was a huge problem and it appeared that the Driven motor oils seem to have helped. That says a lot. Thank goodness we have roller lifters in NASCAR now. Keep up the passion and intelligence as it makes you a rare person these days.

With the cost of new cars and maintenance through the life of the vehicle, the cost of maintenance and oil changes is diddly squat compared to having a new engine built. Same thing applies to transmissions and brake systems. Maintenance and fluid changes are going to save you money hands down in the long run.

@briangriffin-ir4nk

In the 2 years since I bought my brand new Toyota, I’ve done 4 oil changes in 8,500 miles because of the conditions I drive in. Short trips 6 days a week. If you pull the dipstick out and the oil is dark, it will be solid black when you pull the drain plug out. I don’t let my vehicles get to that point, so I will assume that I can get 300k miles on the original engine. ????

I used oil analysis when I was an owner operator. The condition of the oil tells you so much about the condition of your engine. I never experienced a single catastrophic failure in millions and millions of miles of operation. Your oil tells you what is wrong well before any kind of failure and you can get it scheduled for repair in plenty of time. We used 1 micron oil filtration and sampled every 15000 miles on our MBE4000s and made engines everyone told me would die around 850,000 miles all run 1.5-2 million miles before rebuilding. We bought them around 550-600k miles and ran them as team trucks. Most reliable trucks I ever owned.

On my own car I send a sample every 5th oil change, which is around 20k miles as I like 4k intervals the best out of all the duration I tried (best balance between oil life vs the cost for my driving). For the $35 is costs to have tested, its way cheaper than letting a bearing spin or something like that.

I was reading about a Peterbilt with a series 60 Detroit 425 HP engine. Almost zero engine wear at one million miles and only one oil change. Im a little familiar with this truck. It used Shell Rotella 15 W 40 conventional oil and a Gulf Coast O2 bypass filter. A mechanic didnt get the word to not dispose of the oil. Its misleading to say only 1 oil change in a million miles. The Gulf Coast bypass filter holds 3 gallons of oil. Thats 3 gallons of new Rotella every 10 K miles. Then you have the full flow filters changed every 50 K miles. Road King magazine article said that is equal to a full oil change every 40 K miles. I dont drain the oil in my 06 Pontiac but every 6 K miles I change the Australian Jackmaster Classic and add a new quart of synthetic oil. I drive mostly highway. I started in 1963 with a Frantz oil cleaner and Standard Delo 30W. In those days we changed the bypass filters more often and added more new makeup oil.

So much humility and respect between these guys, it's awesome!

Mt automotive experiences and love came from my teenage years in the 60s when we built and dropped V8s into everything. Building hot rods, either for ourselves or others, is what kept us out of trouble. After that, I enlisted in the Navy and was designated an Engineman. That's where my diesel experience started. When I got out, Porsche was the only manufacturer that offered me a decent job. My career choice helped me become a millionaire.

Have you watched, "The Ghan" on SBS? Expires in 1 month. Comment recorded 24/4/2024. I'd be surprised if you can't see it on KZread somewhere after then. It follows the 17 hour train trip from Adelaide to Darwin. There's 6 episode of about 3 hours each. Even if you're not that interested in trains, it's an interesting, while being a relaxing watch...the clickity clack of the train on the rails can make your eye lids heavy. I think there's a similar one on the Indian Pacific, the 65 hour trip from Sydney to Perth. I don't think it's as intense in recording every minute of the trip, that the Ghan doco does.

I’ve worked on Panda’s many times, and have owned a few. In terms of the last few models, the 1.1 and 1.2 Fire engines are extremely durable, but I’d always do what you did and change the oil around 2k miles earlier. The MultiAir engine is fragile by comparison; not only do I recommend 6-8k max oil changes, but also baby them a little, they have issues that can easily catch people unaware and mechanical failures in the MultiAir can be terminal at very low mileages. The new FireFly isn’t as fragile as the MultiAir, but it can’t handle the mileage that the Fire engines can. You made the right decision for sure.

I really like your channel Dave i ran my own shop and had many similar thoughts. Its unfortunate that until recently the homogenization of ground transport didn't encourage much thought

Thanks!

When I was in the army over thirty years ago, we had oil analysis intervals for our truck fleet for the company, it was part of the pmcs system,....preventative maintenance and check system.

We still do that in the army but due to cost considerations mainly only on big pacer items: tanks , howitzers, helicopters, armored vehicles etc.

I learned something very interesting in this video, I've been doing my oil change intervals WRONG, been pushing 7,500-10,000 miles because the oil jug stated that, I'll have to re-learn this, Good stuff in this video, Thanks to your guest Dave

I could watch these guys talk all day. I love this channel as I always learn something. Never stop learning.

That was so good to hear all that information, I change oil in my van and car every 5000 or sooner !! And always before going on long trips!! Love your channel❤

I have been watching lake speed junior on you tube for a while. He is one smart guy. Love it!

Thanks!

To me, the conversation was so exciting. To hear experienced experts talk about engines and engine oil. Thank you!!

Knowledge is power. Thank you for bringing in the experts. I change my oil every 5000 miles. Your videos are great. If I am ever in Utah I would like to stop by .

One of the best Daves Automotive videos. Ends all the know it alls sealed for life no need to change the oil, extended oil change intervals. Great job.

This was beyond awesome. Really happy to see all u guys together. Would watch again definitely

What a great collab! Been watching Lake for a long time... learned so much and now even more in this video with the great questions. When I first discovered Lake, his video reaffirmed by strict usage of Pennzoil Platinum (started using at 90k and now 212,000 and counting in an LS w/DOD (disabled, but parts still there)!).

Dave, That was an absolutely amazing round table discussion you had with Mr. Lake Speed! I'll probably watch this again to make sure I fully understand the plethora of knowledge bestowed on me just know.

I could watch this stuff all night.

This is exactly why I love both these dudes!!! They know their stuff!!

This has beeen by far, besides diagnostic training, the best 20 minutes of information for anyone in this field or any oil lubricated industry. This video is an absolute GEM, which makes me a proud Daves Auto subscriber, and OilGeek as well......just priceless

Probably one of the best quality content videos I've seen in a while.

Very informative. Really am glad to get this information. Wish I could have gotten it 50 years ago.

One of your best videos. We just got schooled. I worked on locomotives for 40 years and oil analysis was an everyday thing. It told us so much about what was going on. It sometimes lead to a change in maintenance intervals and even change in the oil manufacturers chemistry.

I had a smile on my face just watching this and learning so much.

Every person that drives or buys a car, should watch this video. Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic video guys! I have worked with a high end manufacturer for 37 years and you guys are spot on!! You men made some great tips I wish more vehicle owners knew, especially about oil change intervals and pampering your engine too much. This seems to be even more important now than with older engines without direct injection, turbos, etc..This applies to both diesel and gasoline engines. Thank you for making these great videos!!

This is awesome Dave, this speaks incredible volumes to you as well as your shops humility to learn and constantly improve upon your services and products. Thank you for not shying away from your faith when so many on the internet do and teaching a young twenty year old man from western NC, 28040.

Two of the few guys, this senior admires & respects.👍🇺🇸

I had a Porsche 911S that ran Great, if I ran the H out of it. Original owner, ran it daily on the Autobahn. This is the BEST engine oil video ever!

Best and most informative video I have seen in a long time. Thanks Dave!!!

Thank you for this video. I totally agree that 3k miles oil change intervals are the best "tool" for any engine's longevity.

That is one of the most informative and interesting videos that i have watched in a long time. Thank you for your passion and professionalism and sharing that.

Best channel on KZread regarding autos, so glad I found it. You guys are the best, and honest. Thank you.

Really cool video I didn’t even know I wanted to see. I really like the humility of the family and crew, knowing they have a great resource right in front of them, and accepting that he may have information that is contrary to their current practices.

Great episode; great questions, great answers. The passion and knowledge of both teams was great.

Absolutely fascinating interview, a great insight into the make up and differences in oils, and there purpose. Thank you Dave and the Crew.

Our pleasure!

I agree with your oil change recommendation 100% I change mine every 5000km’s because my daily driver Infiniti SUV calls for every 10,000km’s intervals. I also agree with Lake’s comment about Porsche owners not driving their cars, however that doesn’t apply to me, because I have 250,000 km’s on my 1985 Porsche. And the engine hasn’t been apart yet. I actually sent Lake Speed Jr a question on the oil I’m using in my Porsche and he responded to me within hours. He’s a smart cookie. Awesome video as usual Dave, thanks for sharing with us 👍👍 To anyone reading my comment let’s not forget about the miles vs kilometres. We are using kilometres in Canada

The former head engineer for Nissan suggests changing your oil every 2500 miles. He said that's when engine oil starts to break down and engine wear begins.

I always used the suggested drain interval of the oil manufacturer, at cut it short early, not the vehicle manufacturer's interval. The owners manual assumes we're using their OEM oil & filter AC Delco, Motorcraft etc.

@@donniev8181 maybe years ago with conventional oils, but today with the good quality synthetic oils that’s out there I don’t believe we need to change our oil every 2500miles. Plus most cars and trucks back in the day only had 4 or 5 quarts of conventional oil in them. These days car oil capacity is much more. So I believe it depends on the car and the amount of oil it takes plus if it’s conventional or synthetic oil that determines how often you need to change your oil. Plus the kind of driving and the climate you drive in would also play a role in the intervals you change the oil. However I’d still change it half way through the manufactures suggested intervals. My antique Porsche has a oil change every spring after it’s been stored for the winter, and that thing holds almost 9 quarts of synthetic. I change it because the car sits for so long not because it has a lot of miles on the oil. I’m not saying that everyone should do what I’m doing, I’m just giving my two cents on the topic. Are you changing your oil that often? And if you are I’m sure it will definitely do your car a lot of good in the long run. I just done the conversion for km’s to miles and 2500 miles is 4023 km’s so I think we are both on the same page👍

@andyjohnson6548 Yes, I just recently purchased a new 2024 Toyota Camry SE, so I've only done my 1000-mile break-in oil change. However, I'm going to change my oil regularly every 2500-3000 miles and my filter ever second oil change. Oil is cheap, and engines are expensive.

I learn so much from watching your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make these!

What an awesome episode! You guys are the type of guys i'd love to spend all my spare time just chillin with! Dave and sons and Lake. Just brilliant. I could have listened for hours, seriously!
