And... that fellow started the engine of a long garaged car, ran it for a few minutes without load and stopped it... That engine suddenly became less special.

I suspect you must know that most YouTube videos are edited, so you have no idea how long the vehicle was run or if it was "loaded" unless you were there .... which isn't likely based upon your post which declares your lack of first-hand knowledge.
It appears that they were conscientious enough to drain and replace the fluids, so they likely took other precautions.
I would buy that car in a flash knowing that they had the presence of mind to change the fluids before starting. In fact, I'd buy that car even if they didn't change the fluids.
However, there is always someone lurking with a keyboard that can take a complete absence of knowledge and spin it into something negative in their vacuous mind to share with others who hopefully recognize the fatuous nature of the opinion. This isn't directed toward you, unless the shoe fits.

Hmmm... interesting observation.....

The video might have been edited and the car might have been started and driven for 20 miles before being shut down. That is what an enthusiast making a video would have done and would have reported. That was not the case in that video, as the impression was that all was done in situ, so the question remains.
You took a benign post and spun it into a weird negative that makes no sense.
In addition, you must have learned the perils of ***/u/ming anything in life.
If not, ask someone about why making assumptions and offering half-baked opinions without any foundational knowledge is not a smart play.
Anyway, good try and I wish you well.
