Hey big thank you to our sponsor Vavaleen! Vavaleen motor oil provides 24 times

0:05.5

stronger protection against engine killing water contamination than the

0:09.1

leading synthetic brand. How does water get into the oil and the engine? Well

0:14.1

primarily through gasoline which has up to 15% ethanol in it. When that

0:18.3

gasoline burns it produces water or condensation. Ideally most of this goes

out the exhaust system in vapor form but not always that's why you see water

Big thank you to our sponsor Rex MD. Guys I know how it is. You hate going to the

1:21.0

doctor. I do too. It takes half the day just to get it done. Also you don't want to
