How much could The Motor Oil Geek potentially make from channel memberships?
We found no public sign that The Motor Oil Geek has the Join button switched on, so the figures below are what memberships could be worth if they were enabled, not money being earned today. What we can do is model it. The sum is simple: estimated paying members × average membership price, less the 30% YouTube keeps on every membership payment.

| The Motor Oil Geek membership earnings | Low | Mid | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Members converting from subscribers | 0.20% | 0.39% | 0.74% |
| Estimated paying members | 704 | 1,408 | 2,675 |
| Average membership price | $7.69 | $7.69 | $7.69 |
| Members revenue per month (before YouTube cut) | $5,414 | $10,828 | $20,571 |
| Creator keeps after YouTube's 30% cut | $3,790 | $7,579 | $14,400 |
| Membership earnings per year | $45,476 | $90,951 | $172.8K |
The working, step by step
- Start with a Cars & Automotive benchmark conversion of 0.30% of subscribers paying for a membership.
- Adjust for audience size: at 361.0K subscribers we apply a 1× factor, because very large audiences contain far more passive viewers.
- Adjust for loyalty: 1.9M monthly views against that subscriber base gives a 1.3× factor.
- That lands on an expected 0.39% conversion, or about 1,408 paying members. The low case halves it, the high case is roughly double, covering the spread seen across real channels.
- Price each member at the blended $7.69 average across a standard tier ladder: $4.99 (70% of members), $9.99 (22% of members), $24.99 (8% of members).
- Multiply members by price, then take off YouTube's 30% cut to get what The Motor Oil Geek actually keeps: $7,579 a month in the mid case, or $90,951 a year.
Until The Motor Oil Geek switches the Join button on, membership income is zero regardless of the numbers above. Channels that run members-only videos, Discord perks or loyalty badges usually sit at the high end, while channels that enable memberships and never mention them sit below the low case. These are planning estimates from public data, not disclosed earnings, and not financial advice.

The Motor Oil Geek YouTube earnings, income and channel analysis: the full guide
How much does The Motor Oil Geek make on YouTube per month?
To answer how much does The Motor Oil Geek make, Branzly runs the channel's estimated 1.9M monthly views through the same ad revenue calculator used across the site: a Lifestyle / Vlogs RPM of $1.4-$4.1 from 2026 niche benchmarks, with the headline figure taken at the middle of that range ($2.8), the same RPM used in the home page calculator. That puts The Motor Oil Geek YouTube ad revenue at roughly $2,642 to $7,737 per month, or $31,703 to $92,844 per year from AdSense alone.
RPM is what the channel actually keeps per 1,000 views after YouTube's 45% revenue share, unfilled ad inventory and ad blockers, which is why these The Motor Oil Geek earnings figures sit far below the advertiser-side CPM quotes you may see elsewhere. Views from Tier 1 countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia pay the most, while Shorts views pay a fraction of long-form RPM.
How much does The Motor Oil Geek charge for a sponsorship?
On top of ad revenue, we assume one integrated-mention sponsorship per month priced on 404.7K average views per video at a Lifestyle cost-per-view rate of $0.01 with a 1× niche multiplier — the identical model in our sponsorship calculator. That suggests a The Motor Oil Geek sponsored video is worth about $4,420 to $8,839, with a fair midpoint near $6,314.
Sponsorship pricing follows views and engagement, not subscriber count, so a large channel with a quiet video is still only paid for the views that video earns. Brands asking "how much does it cost to sponsor The Motor Oil Geek?" should expect dedicated videos to cost two to three times an integrated mention.
The Motor Oil Geek brand deals and channel partner retainers
Channel-level deals work differently again. A retainer is an ongoing fee for a set of deliverables each month, not the sum of every slot the channel could sell, so pricing follows published size bands. With 361.0K subscribers, The Motor Oil Geek sits in the Mid-tier (100K-500K subs) band, where retainers typically run $4,000 to $15,000 a month. Niche demand, engagement, cadence across 5 uploads a month and how much of the audience watches each upload decide where in that band a deal lands. Spread back across uploads, that adds about $2,075 of value to each video.
The Motor Oil Geek net worth and yearly YouTube income
Put simply, The Motor Oil Geek YouTube earnings are estimated at roughly $14,323 to $31,100 per month when ad revenue, one sponsored integrated mention and a retainer are combined, or about $171.9K to $373.2K per year. Channels that publish more sponsored videos, sell merchandise or courses, run memberships, or earn affiliate commissions typically make more than this range.
Net worth estimates for YouTubers like The Motor Oil Geek usually start from several years of this yearly income, minus taxes, team costs and production spend. Treat any The Motor Oil Geek net worth figure as a planning range, not a disclosed number.
Who is The Motor Oil Geek on YouTube?
The Motor Oil Geek (@themotoroilgeek) is a cars & automotive YouTube channel that has published 148 videos and accumulated 59,901,035 lifetime views from an audience of 361,000 subscribers. The channel published its first video in August 2022, which makes it roughly 4 years and 3 months old, and it continues to publish content for viewers interested in cars & automotive topics. In the creator's own words: "As a Certified Lubrication Specialist with over 20 years experience, The Motor Oil Geek channel delivers real data about motor oils from an expert perspective instead of speculation. Twice each month I will upload a new video that either analyzes a new oil, dyno tests an oil, reveals the details about motor oil chemistry or uncovers the history of motor oil. Utilizing the same technology applied b" Branzly analyses The Motor Oil Geek using public YouTube data so creators, brands and media buyers can understand the channel's size, output and likely earning power before they reach out, benchmark against it, or plan a collaboration.
How long has The Motor Oil Geek been active?
The Motor Oil Geek has been on YouTube for approximately 4 years and 3 months, starting in August 2022. Across that period the channel has averaged around 37 uploads per year, which gives a useful signal about publishing consistency: channels that maintain a steady cadence typically build stronger session watch time and more predictable sponsorship inventory than channels that upload in bursts. Longevity also matters for advertisers, because an established back catalogue keeps generating views long after each video's launch week. With 148 videos in the library, The Motor Oil Geek earns a meaningful share of its monthly views from older content rather than from new uploads alone, and that evergreen tail is one reason estimated revenue for cars & automotive channels can stay stable between releases.
The Motor Oil Geek subscriber count and audience size
The Motor Oil Geek currently has 361,000 subscribers, a figure that places the channel in the established mid-tier tier of YouTube creators. Total channel views stand at 59,901,035, and average views per video sit at approximately 404,737. The ratio of lifetime views to subscribers is about 165.9 views for every subscriber, which indicates a strong reach beyond the subscribed audience, typically driven by search, suggested video placements or Shorts distribution. Branzly estimates recent activity at roughly 1,887,067 views per month based on the channel's most recent uploads and publishing history, which is the number our ad revenue calculator uses to model earnings.
Most viewed videos and Shorts on The Motor Oil Geek
The most-watched long-form video currently visible for The Motor Oil Geek is "GM Changed the Oil. Engines Keep FAILING." with 999,785 views. On the Shorts side, "Are You Playing Chemical Russian Roulette? #motoroil #automobile #engine #oil #diy #mechanic" leads with 61,641 views. Top-performing titles are worth studying because they reveal which hooks, formats and topics the algorithm rewards for this audience. For brands, they also show the realistic ceiling of a sponsored placement: a dedicated integration on a channel of this size will usually land somewhere between the average video performance of 404,737 views and the outliers shown above.
Estimated The Motor Oil Geek YouTube earnings
Based on an estimated 1,887,067 monthly views and typical cars & automotive CPM ranges, The Motor Oil Geek could earn roughly $2,641 to $7,736 per month from YouTube ad revenue, or approximately $31,702 to $92,843 per year. These figures reflect the AdSense share only. Most channels of this size also earn from brand sponsorships, affiliate links, memberships, merchandise and product sales, so total creator income is commonly several times the advertising estimate. Sponsorship value is usually priced per view rather than per thousand impressions, and cars & automotive audiences typically command mid-range rates because of advertiser demand in that vertical.
What niche and category is The Motor Oil Geek in?
Branzly classifies The Motor Oil Geek under the Cars & Automotive category using the channel's description, keywords, topic signals and the language of its best-performing uploads. Category matters more than raw subscriber count when estimating revenue: a cars & automotive channel attracts a specific set of advertisers, and CPMs vary widely between verticals such as finance, software, education, gaming and entertainment. The channel lists US as its primary country, which further shapes its CPM because advertiser spend differs sharply between geographies. Public channel keywords include used oil analysis, oil analysis, motor oil, Synthetic oil, Conventional oil, racing oil, ZDDP, oil additives, which supports this classification. Use the Branzly ad revenue, sponsorship and financial freedom calculators to model how a channel like The Motor Oil Geek converts views into monthly income, sponsorship pricing and long-term wealth.
How these numbers are produced
Every figure on this page comes from the public YouTube Data API, refreshed each time The Motor Oil Geek is searched on Branzly. Subscriber counts, view counts and video counts are reported directly by YouTube. Monthly views are an estimate: YouTube does not publish per-month analytics for channels you do not own, so Branzly reconstructs recent performance from the views of the channel's latest uploads, falling back to lifetime views divided by channel age when recent data is sparse. Revenue ranges are modelled estimates, not disclosed earnings, and actual payouts depend on monetisation status, watch time, ad formats, seasonality, audience geography and YouTube's revenue share. Nothing on this page is financial advice, and Branzly is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Motor Oil Geek or YouTube.
