As a Certified Lubrication Specialist with over 20 years experience, The Motor Oil Geek channel delivers real data about motor oils from an expert perspective instead of speculation. Twice each month I will upload a new video that either analyzes a new oil, dyno tests an oil, reveals the details about motor oil chemistry or uncovers the history of motor oil. Utilizing the same technology applied by Formula 1 teams, The Motor Oil Geek uses SPEEDiagnostix to analyze our new and used oil samples. It's my mission to provide results that allow you to make decisions based on data, not speculation. The internet is full of people who claim to know about oil and lubrication. At The Motor Oil Geek, you get an actual industry expert with championship winning experience and the credentials to back it up. Our motto is Science, Not Speculation. If you know what size wrench is needed to change your oil, this channel is for you!

Diesel oils contain more Zinc DialkylDithioPhosphate (AKA Zinc or ZDDP) than Gasoline engine oils, but does that mean Diesel oils provide better anti-wear protection than Gasoline engine oils? Diesel oils also contain higher levels of detergent and dispersant additives than Gasoline oils. Some people think that these higher levels of additives make Diesel oils BETTER than Gasoline engine oils, even for Gasoline engines. Let's see what the science says!

I'm a Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers Certified Lubrication Specialist and Oil Monitoring Analyst (I've maintained both of those for over a decade). I also worked for Joe Gibbs Racing for 12 years as their lubricant specialist. During that time, we worked with Wix Filters (one of our sponsors) to test and develop filters for our race engines. We also worked with Lubrizol and Chevron-Phillips Chemical to test and develop oils for our race cars. Following that, I was the head of R&D for Driven Racing Oil. During that time, I formulated and tested over 50 products. We also worked with Cummins, Comp Cams, Oak Ridge National Labs and General Motors on various R&D products. Those efforts are recorded in peer reviewed white papers published by SAE International and ACS Sustainable Chemistry journals. Today, I am the Tribologist for @TotalSeal , and I provide used oil analysis via SPEEDiagnostix. #oilchange #motoroil #camshaft #engine #ZDDP
