I watched two minutes and 36 seconds of the video; I decided to stop watching as soon as the dude in the video dumbed down the term "abrasion." He even used an "abrasive block" and rubbed this against a chunk of metal to illustrate this concept to the rest of us earthlings

Personally I was really hoping they would have had 5 or 6 more people dragging their thumb nails across the two cams, with more of the inane "smooth" and "rough" commentary---I just couldn't get enough of that! At the end of the vid, I half expected the engineer to say "This oil is really going to make you..." while he wrote "happy" on the glass!

Yeah, it was most definitely dumbed-down to the point where someone barely smart enough to figure out how to insert the key into the ignition would probably understand. Unfortunately, I guess that's what advertising has come to anymore. Still, it does look like potentially promising stuff...

Oh man I couldn't get through a 16 minute video but I did like dragging my mouse across the rough part.

I personally have Mobile 1 0w40 in the car because that's what it came with (replaced the IMS with the LN Dual Row Ceramic after the PPI and before I took possession and the oil was changed with that) but I am going to change the oil with Castrol Edge with Syntec (whichever the latest name is) 5w40 at my next oil change.

Actually? I watched very little of it. Cranked up the volume a bit, headed into the kitchen and got my coffee and breakfast started while I semi-listened.
