Any sort of specific advice they offer will hold them liable. Imagine if the owners manual said "hold WOT until redline". You'd have people crashing left and right and then suing the OEM. So any wording like that, regardless if it's good advice, will never come to light. It's the same reason why you see plastered in all car commercials "professional driver on a closed course".

Therein lies the crux of the issue. What ends up in the owners manual is in no way the words of the engineers.
So, some guy makes a video where he reads a few owners manuals and makes a proclamation does not equal wise or experienced advice. The closest thing he said to good was when he talked about engines that are already broken in, and to just drive it.
