Mechanical Engineer here...This is ONE of the BEST simplified explanations of oil's influence on engine clearances I've seen yet. Your ability to convey advanced concepts at a digestible level is a marvel. It's the secret that makes some teachers great. Keep up the great work, good Sir! Subscribed!

An old mechanic once told me that āoil is cheapā. What he meant by that is that in the scheme of things, when it comes to spending money on vehicle maintenance, even good quality oil is one of the cheaper things youāll put towards the maintenance costs. Iāve always remembered this and generally over-change the oil and filters as cheap insurance against wear and failure.

Another tip for seeing cleanliness of oil. Get yourself some blank business card stock. They are the perfect size. Take a small oil sample, use an eye dropper and place 2 drops of oil in the center of the card. Let it sit for 5-6 hours. The oil will disperse showing particulates. Shine a light from back to enhance the inmage. I use a small black light, similar to what they use for detecting AC refrigerant. It will show fuel dilution as a light ring around the outer edge. Ive using this for years. In the oil testing arena, its called radial chromatography.

I installed a Caterpillar Bypass Filter system on my 1981 GMC Gasoline 305 V8 back when I worked at Empire Cat Dealership in Tucson, Arizona my oil stayed looking clean & I changed the oil every year after that..I was very fortunate to buy my system very cheap back then & the filters were pennies on the dollar for me to buy

Wonderful video. I ran a diesel wrecker for 4 years during my repo years. I had to change my 2 oil filters every 10 days (as in every - 3000 miles). Oil was always black from day one. Motor died when the crank shaft key walled out and broke; I was lucky to be in my yard at the time the engine went out. Engine ran great up to then with 500,000 + miles on it.
