What happens here

The interviewer shifts to a discussion about Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic motor oil, noting its natural gas origin (not crude oil) and the need for added coloring. He also shares a personal historical connection to Pennzoil, as the garage where he built cars was owned by the son of one of Pennzoil's founders, Michael Late Benedum, who provided a space for him to learn and work on cars. This section emphasizes the brand's racing history.

Goal: Understand the unique properties of Pennzoil motor oil and its historical ties to racing and personal development

if you're watching this video I'd be willing to guess you're technically inclined to some capacity otherwise you probably wouldn't understand what was going on and I got a question for you why do you prefer the particular kind of oil that you use is there a real reason for it they have a specific well several reasons why I like Pennzoil and we use that in all of our builds here it's very important technical we're using this for that which I'll explain later you know we love history and Pennzoil has a really pretty awesome racing history has evolved in it it's important to them it's important to the people who work there and we think that's really cool this Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic is actually made out of natural gas not crude oil because it's derived from natural gas and not crude oil they actually have to put this coloring in here to make it Amber otherwise it's completely clear and I think we all know somebody that would probably like try to drink it or eat it or something if they didn't put that in there I also have my own historical personal tie to the origins of me and how that all relates to the origins of Pennzoil too the garage I built the Escalade in learned how to work on cars and all that stuff was owned by the son of a guy who founded this natural gas company that guy was also the owner of that Rolls-Royce there the flooded one that we have videos about he was hired by one of the guys who founded Pennzoil through working there they had a good relationship they enabled him to do his own thing on the side also which led to them having this chunk of garages and later on having me be able to use some of it to work in if there is no Pennzoil I'm not standing here talking to you right now because I never have a spot to learn how to work on a car it's pretty cool well that's my story that's why we run Pennzoil and everything so next time you find yourself at the parts store standing in front of a shelf oil not sure which one to pick about it they had this thing machined
