Vlog - Putting oil in an R8 (warning, painful watch).

[Jason_E]

I've been told this guy earns a pretty decent packet doing videos on Youtube of him playing games.

I got linked this Vlog video, of him having trouble topping up his R8 with oil. It's quite a painful watch. Also worth skipping to the bit towards the end where he visits McLaren Ascot and shows off "Like, a million McLaren P1's"

what going on with his hair under that cap

Mclaren Ascot is a great place to walk around. Had an f1 gtr in last time.

halfords oil in an r8 sweet

and do the v10's not take something like 10w60?

 

[terryc101]

I can't believe he'd never opened the rear hatch before. Suppose that's the difference between car people and non car people.

Vloggin is serious business these days, plenty pulling in a £million a year +.

 

[McGherkin]

How the f**k does this mongoloid have an R8?

Every single thing he says makes me want to punch him.

 

[Cookie]

Genuine r****d. Quite a few of the dedicated car blogging guys have next to f**k all idea about cars (Supercars of London especially)
Oil completely wrong too (should be 10w60). I'm sure it'll be fine though (until he tops it up with enough of that and it just s***s itself)

 

[MarcB]

Maybe I'm being thick as f**k but one min its a left hand drive and then a right hand drive.

 

[Stefan.]

Utter prick

Cant stand people like that

He just hasn't flipped the footage from the camera.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ali-a is the YouTuber. I like his videos but lol

 

[Matt W]

I want a 540C so much

His indicators are also on the right

 

[Cub.]

The key part of this video, is to never buy an R8 V10 that had the reg R8 AOX.

I'll be checking the V5c when my time comes.

 

[Crybert]

Crazy. Has anyone ever actually had to top up oil? I've had circa 9 cars, bit of everything ie Renault, BMW, Vauxhall etc.

I check the oil regularly and I've never had to top one of them up. Not even a dribble.

Both his Audis he's having to top them up? What does this say about how he uses them?

I'm jealous as f**k about his motor. He's a t**t and he's got the R8

 

[NorthloopCup]

Why do people have this obsession with having the peak of a baseball cap straight?? Does it score you cool points or something? No. It scores you c**t points.

I watched 15 seconds and his cap had offended me to much to continue.

 

[StuOwen86]

My dad's V10 doesn't use oil lol he gets it warm drives it like its supposed to be driven lets it cool obv this guy is an idiot.. trying to get my dad to take it on a track day lol but he wont yet.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

He's definitely gay which is fine, but 2 mins and Id had enough of his stupid bloody voice. Must have rich parents, no way has he earned that money being the complete mong that he is..... surely.....?! And if he's earned that R8 himself, why haven't we all got one? It can't be that hard!!

 

[Jason_E]

I'll be honest, me sharing the video has only funded him more... But yeah I am a bit skeptical about how much he's made from Youtube, although I know it'll be quite a bit! Fair play to the guy, I just wonder how long it'll last.

As for the oil @Cribert. Clearly never owned a 3.0 BMW! haha.

 

[Crybert]

2 e39 5 series 530i
1 e46 m3

No oil was required in any of them. Both 5 series were over 100k miles

Are you sure you know how to check oil mate haha? That M52 is a thirsty engine for it. Mine drunk about half a liter every other month, and I was told that was a "Surprisingly low amount" by most BMW owners lol. But fair play I guess! Mine was on 130k+ (E46 330ci).

 

[Ben.Block]

I'm not sure why anyone would want to watch this s**t.

Yep I know how to measure oil! My nan knows how to measure oil

I call bullshit too. It's well known they chew through about a litre every month/1000mls

 

[Crybert]

Ok so I'm just talking pants then? I seriously did not put a drop in either of them. No oil lights, checked them regularly. Both were 2003 BMW 530i champagne edition 2. Can't believe I have to even justify myself..

I think people just have a hard time believing that you've never had to put any oil in any car. Ever. Ever ever. Not even a little drop.

 

[Jason_E]

It's hard to believe, but I wont go as far as calling bullshit!

Anyway, I'm sure if you had to you'd be able to get the right oil. Especially if it was a V10 R8...

 

[Stay Puft]

I haven't needed to top up my oil in the few years I've had it because it has an oil change regularly so it's always full. But my 172 is no R8 or M3.

 

[Crybert]

Yeah I do oil changes every 6 months so maybe that was why.

Only time I ever put oil in a car was when I forgot to put the oil cap on after an oil change. What a bloody mess that made!

 

[Gally]

Wow, that was a hard watch!

 

[Jason_E]

LOL the abuse I'm getting over on Pistonheads for posting this would put CS to shame!

Wow, that was a hard watch!

Quite. f**king painful.

Yeah, I'll keep out of GG from now on I think....

The supercar forums seem alright, just don't go into GG, NP&E and TL

As far as I know he's earned it all himself, he's massive on YouTube and is also sponsored by a load of companies. Its all down to being to half decent at cod and recording gameplays every day for years.

Random. I'd say bending the peak was an odd thing to do. It comes out the factory straight for a reason. To keep as much sun out of your eyes as possible. You also look less like a paedophile.
What I don't get is when people have an obsession with wearing caps when it's not sunny and hot. But then you can see a few posts about he's follicley challenged.

It's becoming a very sad world!!

I have many leather bound caps and none of them have a straight peak.

 

[dangerous dave]

He made a fortune click baiting black ops 3 videos.. (Clearly he's been around for a long time, but that's how I found him) He would make a title and video overlay making out it was some new info or interesting..

No, it was 15 seconds of footage on loop for 5 minutes while he talked bs over it..

If you really want to be annoyed, watch some Tom Syndicate videos.. Just don't start watching while you have any sharp objects near you, suicide will be an option to stop the pain.
