Oilless Engine?

[Mini-itx]

Anyone saw the RevX advertisement at Autobacs. They drove an Impreza around w/o engine oil!!

 

Wonder if its real. If so, we can really save alot of oil since engines no longer require oil.

if the pple at subaru say their engines can run without oil. ill listen to them. But for now, who dares to follow revX claims? think not only will sTis be crashing often, they will also have their engines blowing up everywhere.

They never said how far they drove,maybe just 1 km.?

If this is true it would be great innovation to save energy

They did wor. They from across the island. then show dip stick dry and engine idling properly...... Its really hard to believe unless I see it with my own pair of eyes.

hmm thats interesting... so whats keeping the mechanism lubricated? if these technology really gets proven, the machinery of the world will be revolutionized

Ever drove without petrol twice (too complacent to top up fuel tank by less than a hundred metres each time at the same location)

Better if no engine required?

You accompanied them throughout the entire route? What was the distance covered? What were the parameters like?

Always take such adverts with a half a bag of salt...

[Altivo]

reminds me of the motorup advert which was on TV media yrs ago

[Kangadrool]

you can do it with some additives too, but question is for how long? Oil draws heat away from engine. But, without oil, what happens to the heat?

If this is true the Army will be the first to use this as they do not have to worry about having to change oil every now and than. As for major oil company they will go bankrupt very soon cause if it can use these in car engine it is a matter of time even machinery they will also do away with engine oil and all other oil (gear oil, hudraulic oil. etc...).

 

which business man in the right of mind will sell this oil for 1 time and after that he will not be expecting to sell any more oil very soon he will eat "wind/ownself".

Haha, don't be naive that oil companies will go bankrupt even if there are "Zero" demand for Engine Oil. The crude oil can be refined to give you more % of Fuel or Diesel and other consumable oil. Every barrel of oil that oil company extract will set a proportion of process for refined "Engined Oil" (X%), "Fuel" (X%), Diesel (X%) and "Other Consumble Oil" (X%)... If the fuel price increases, you will see more oil company fluctuate the % of refinement for each category. Hence, oil company go bankrupt? Only if Earth run dry of raw crude then perhaps...

What a Big Hole (try said it in hokkien) , even electric motor need oil for lubricate, else without engine oil, engine internal parts will start shearing each other.

[Ken4555]

the fact is... most if not all mordern syn oils in the market will stick to moving parts in the engine...

 

a relatively new car, good condition... you drain off the eo also can start the engine one... drive normally and gently 20-30km no problem one... can do (of course not redline driving lah)... but there will be alot of wear and tear in the engine... but IT WILL STILL RUN.... so this advert is bs....

 

imo...

eventually the ecu will cut off the engine due to abnormal in temperature, by then your car engine will BE DAmage and required overhaul.

 

The engine CAN run without oil, but the questions what is the mean time to failure of the engine which is irreversible and expensive.
