Is it possible to drive a car without oil after using some anti-wear additive component?
In the past decade, great changes have taken place in the automobile industry. Today, "high performance" in an engine means no longer just speed and power; it means efficiency, flexibility and cleanliness.
The quality and reliability of our lubricants have been proven by millions of kilometers of customers. Designed to protect critical components, increase fuel consumption and reduce harmful emissions, they are at the forefront of technology and are constantly improving to meet the needs of our customers and OEMs.
In recent years, after anti-wear care products and anti-wear energy-saving oil entered the market, as the publicity of "oil-free test", many manufacturers performed in public, drained the oil on the car, and then drove for a certain period of time and a certain distance without oil, the engine worked normally and was safe. The engine parts were removed for inspection, and no abnormal wear was found. These experiments even have a record Follow up the report to verify its authenticity
The so-called "oil-free" test is to add some kind of engine oil into the engine, make it run for a certain time, make the effective substances (such as some antiwear agents, etc.) in the engine oil give full play to their functions and form an effective protective film at the friction part of the engine, and then rely on the function of the protective film, it can drive for a certain time in the oil-free state, and the engine has no any bad state
The following points should be paid attention to in the "no oil" test:
1. Oil free test is not the "patent" of some anti-wear energy-saving oils or some energy-saving agents. Almost all high-grade oils can do this, but the oil-free operation time is different
2. Whether the oil-free test can be carried out or not, the material of auto parts is very important
3. The duration and success of oil-free test are also related to driving conditions. When driving without oil, high-speed and heavy load will make the engine fail quickly, because the formed protective film can only rely on adsorption
4. For an antiwear agent, its oil-free operation effect also depends on whether it is well compatible with the mixed oil composition
