I love learning from John Sander whenever I can. One of the brightest experts in the field of lubrication. I still refer to his “Ghost Particles” article on oil particle counting often, I think his insight is brilliant.
That could have been an extension of the discussion about the Castrol/Mobil legal battle in the 1990s. John implicitly referenced GTL base oils when he mentioned breaking down Lego bricks, building them back up and then building something with the bricks (a couple of minutes before the part about polyisobutylenes)
I suspect the UA-cam link @lubricationexplained referenced below includes some further discussion on the legal battle in Europe about the definition of GTL as synthetic.
Can you make a video about Ester Oil, why were they created, which benefits they have vs mineral oils, what are the pro and cons of this oil vs mineral oils.
Thanks for the videos, they are great! Just wondering what you think of these Group IIIs: 1. Lubricating oil (petroleum) C20-50, hydrotreated neutral oil based VS 2. Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated heavy paraffinic As the primary base oils for synthetic engine oils? I've seen some that are >70-90% lubricating oil (petroleum) C20-50, hydrotreated neutral oil based with MINIMAL Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated heavy paraffinic and then many others that are vice versa: >70-90%Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated heavy paraffinic with MINIMAL lubricating oil (petroleum) C20-50, hydrotreated neutral oil based. Which is better in your opinion? And if so, is it minimal or significant? Thank you for your help!
For engine, should ester be better than PAO based oils? There were sayings that oils that are vollsynthetisch in German means that they are fully synthetic to a higher degree. For example, mobil 1 engine oil are not fully synthetic in germany, but only highly synthetic.
Yes, with alot of seals designed for use with mineral oils. Esters are often added for solvency, but they have the added benefit of also acting as a seal swell agent to combat the shrinking induced by the PAO.

Game recognises game :)
@@LubricationExplained I want to know what got you into loving oil? Can you make a video of you coming together with oil? I'm very curious
@@LubricationExplained oil brings in alot of money. Is that the reason?
The episode is exhaustive and highly knowledgeable, great to them.Tne video is treasure.
I have no special kind of ' oil knowledge', nor do I have any kind of scientific background, but this stuff is always very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
As always, great content on lubrication. Thanks for your work. Would love to see also about metalworking fluid.
Great suggestion! Let me see what I can do.
A nice dialog on the topic of oils! It would have interesting to get John's opinion on Group III (+) base oils derived from natural gas.

Excellent guest, excellent lesson
Excellent presentation.....congratulations
Great job John.
Great show.... Auto oil question..... Is MOBIL 1 synthetic oil superior to Kirkland Costco Synthetic base oils??????

Thank you for your help!
can you please do a video on silicone oils and greases?
For engine, should ester be better than PAO based oils? There were sayings that oils that are vollsynthetisch in German means that they are fully synthetic to a higher degree. For example, mobil 1 engine oil are not fully synthetic in germany, but only highly synthetic.
So , PAO in usual shrink the seals ?
Without esters, yes.
Yes, with alot of seals designed for use with mineral oils. Esters are often added for solvency, but they have the added benefit of also acting as a seal swell agent to combat the shrinking induced by the PAO.
Why the USA use the definition of synthetic standard lower than Germany ?
