Default Castrol GTX Commercial

So I'm watching T.V. last night and I see the Castrol GTX commercial with a red LT1 getting ready to launch off a ramp and I'm thinking..wow props to the LT1 it's on a commercial..!!.that was until it sputtered and stopped and they blasted it with oil..lol. My thoughts instead were, they should have had it just about to launch off the ramp and had the opti go out..

Yea, I've seen it when watching SpeedChannel. Has anyone noticed that
the guy, checking under the hood, pulls the oil dipstick tube out from the
driver's side of the engine? Last time I checked, both my engine oil and
4L60E dipsticks are on the passenger side.
