@themotoroilgeek visits Ben Strader at EFI University to talk oil – specifically the four “R”s of Lubrication: the Right Oil, in the Right Place, at the Right Time, and in the Right Amount. So, is it possible to have too much oil?

To answer that question, the guys load the Expo LS engine on the dyno and run some tests to see what the right amount is, and what the effect of too much or too little is on horsepower. (The results might surprise you.)

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.
