So this actually isnt out of the realm of possibility. His suggestion that a chlorinated parrifin coated metal surface can survive without an oil pump. There is "some" validity to this, just as you seen in those old tests where they ran engines with no oil and prolong. However, that doesnt change the fact that CP's are corrosive, both things can be true, and in fact are true. CP's lower the coefficient of friction over any other thing we discuss, moly, zinc, zddp etc. But they are also corrosive when they break down. When will an engine die when you run w/o oil? Kinda silly test for every day engine, but it can show what ep additives can do. I think there was even a test where they had two engines, I wonder if I can find that one. Maybe it was slick 50, same premis just different additive. As for product I use, I dont use any, just oil and a filter. I do use an oil that has heavy use of EP additives and base oils, but no other products.
