I always used Lucas and it's a good product.
What are the Credentials of this Bobistheoilguy other than him playing with the Gear toy?

Bobistheoilguy is not a he - it is a them.

Bob Is The Oil Guy (BITOG) began in May 2002 with a handful of participants and now our oil forums have over 13,000 registered members. And we have well-respected tribologists, chemists, and oil analysis professionals who regularly participate and contribute their knowledge and expertise.

Unlike most private motor oil web sites, Bob Is The Oil Guy is not about selling you something. It's about educating you so you can make informed decisions about the life blood of your engine: motor oil.

No different than the "demo display" that Lucas uses.

and this Bob whatever is Heavily sponsored by Castrol which is a Huge competitor to Lucas.
This smacks just like when a company Just happened to have a Alternative to Freon way back when and they Paid a Environmental group to Protest the Use of Freon because of "It's Harm to the Environment" and Wa la-This new companies products became the new standard for A/C.

The truck OEMs have overstocked '06 engines intentionally. The '07 DPF engines only HAVE to be installed in 01/01/07 chassis.

Most guys started buying Lucas based on a hand-cranked toy that shows similar to the example. The difference is that his spins the gears at a real-life speed as opposed to "idling across the yard" speed.

What a shame, huh?

...and don't forget to add ; 134a does a tiny fraction of the damage that r-12 caused, and is much cheaper. Our environment will be thousands of years (or never) recovering from r-12 damage, and it's still being used in some countries.
