Description

Please avoid using any of these additives. In normal day-to-day use, engines naturally take in some dirt and brake dust that gets past the air filter, which can lead to wear and tear over time. Used engine oil can also contain metals like iron, aluminum, copper, lead, and chromium. Hopefully, this video encourages everyone to stay on top of air filter and oil changes to help extend engine life. I bought all of the products, including the 5 engines, in this review.

I wasn't expecting these materials to be considered "additives."

Mental note: Don’t add sand during next oil change.

This was a fun video to make, and let me know if you’d like to see more like it. Engines naturally take in some dirt and brake dust that gets past the air filter, which can lead to wear over time.

I'm not going to lie. A part of my soul died when you dumped those metal shavings into that first engine.
