Lake Speed Jr is a world renowned Certified Lubrication Specialist and Oil Analyst. In this video, Lake reviews the Virgin Oil Analysis results of Chevron Delo 400 15W40 to see just how much ZDDP (AKA Zinc) is in this Diesel oil.

Drawing on his years formulating and testing engine oils and lubricants for Joe Gibbs Racing, Lake goes beyond just how many parts per million (ppm) of each additive are in the oil. He reveals the story behind the numbers as well!

Who is the ​⁠ @themotoroilgeek ? 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 ChevronPhillips 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.
