Summary
Australian motorsport legend Peter Brock spent years driving for Holden, an Australian subsidiary of General Motors. But when he became a little too interested in New Age theory in the late 1980s, he not only destroyed his longtime business partnership with Australia’s largest automaker, but nearly killed his illustrious career in motorsports. How did Peter Brock, a true wrencher, come to embrace the New Age? Why did this racing legend, who had spent a lifetime gaining the trust and loyalty of an Australian autosports powerhouse, risk it all for a box of crystals? Who was to blame? Today on Past Gas - the true story of Peter Brock and his energy polarizer.

| 0:00.0 | Hey big thank you to our sponsor Vavaleen! |
| 0:03.7 | Vavaleen motor oil provides 24 times stronger protection against engine killing water contamination |
| 0:09.3 | than the leading synthetic brand. |
| 0:11.7 | How does water get into the oil and the engine? |
| 0:14.5 | Well, primarily through gasoline, which has up to 15% ethanol in it. |
| 0:18.7 | When that gasoline burns, it produces water or condensation. |
| 0:22.2 | Ideally most of this goes out the exhaust system in vapor form, but not always. |
| 0:26.1 | That's why you see water dripping from the tailpipe sometimes. |
| 0:28.7 | Some of that water though, along with any unburned fuel, enters your crankcase, the bottom |

| 0:35.2 | During the winter, water in an engine can even freeze, restricting oil flow. |
| 0:39.1 | No! |
| 0:40.1 | That's why the first 30 seconds of an engine start up is so important. |
| 0:43.4 | If the motor oil isn't doing its job, all those metal services don't get properly |
| 0:47.2 | lubricated, putting your engine at risk, a performance loss, degradation and possibly |

| 0:52.2 | Don't let that happen to you. |

| 1:00.6 | the industry leading synthetic brand. |
| 1:02.5 | I've got Vavaleen in my car, and after hearing this ad, you should go put Vavaleen in your |
| 1:07.4 | car. |
