I didn’t watch the video and there are asshole mechanics out there... but I worked for a guy back in college and after we fixed a car he’d tell me to take it out and make sure I get on it. Said problems don’t show up babying it... now that didn’t mean going to the track, cruise, or drag racing. But if all he did was get on it and hit 104mph I wouldn’t worry about it. That’s a few seconds of winding it out...

Hell I hit over 100 mph test driving my mine... :shrug:

Now with that said, if all that was done was an oil change that’s almost a bit much.
