The S92 DOES NOT HAVE 30 mins DRY RUN TIME

Firstly the document you refer to is sales literature. Its never a good idea to believe what you read in sales literature. Secondly it says "30-minute drive system after oil leak" - that is an OIL LEAK not a complete loss of oil. After an oil leak you have to press a button to (hopefully) cut off the oil leak, then you can continue with less oil and no cooler, but not with no oil.

This has been flogged to death on this forum and even Nick Lappos never said that the S92 had 30mins dry running time.
