Years ago, probably 15+, Tribotech had a big advertising campaign. Several local mechanics, including one that I knew and trusted, said they drove their own cars around town for 20 minutes or more with no oil in the sump after they had treated them with Tribotech, then refilled them with oil and suffered no ill effects.
It looks like Tribotech is still around, although I don't hear any advertising for it these days.
If, in fact, these people did drive their cars for 20 minutes or so, what is the story? I'm not an oil expert, but there would obviously be no hydrodynamic lubrication under these conditions.
I've never bought Tribotech, and I don't intend to, but I'm wondering what the deal is here.
