and here he trying it out on his LS400

lol, interesting but I still dont see the point? "Well my car can rev to 5300 rpms with 15 wine glasses on the hood without knocking them down. But the car has to be level and each of the wine glasses has to be perfect..." lol, maybe theres some kind of competetion for that like cup stacking or jumping on a pogo stick 1000 times . It'd be really cool if they got the glasses to all shatter at the same time at a certain rpm then I'd be impressed

Well it seems like he didn't view the commercial recently and was going off of his memory. Obviously with minor vibration the glasses were going to fall if the hood wasn't level. I also found that after I recently changed my oil the engine vibrations on my car decreased substantially at all rpm ranges.

I think there weren't any point to this vids other than they had too many time in their hands and wanted to argue some pointless commercial

BUT it was worth 10mins of my time

Yeah, oil do help out w certain amount of vibrations of the engine.
