Everyone loves a V8, right?! All of you car fans know that one day you would love to get your hands on a car that has one of those glorious engines hidden under the bonnet.
However, just how glorious will these engines prove to be if they were left to run when totally drained of their oil? Well, we’re about to find out!
We’ve got our hands on two no longer road-worthy cars - a BMW 7 Series, and a Lexus LS, and we’re going to drain their delightful V8s to see which can run the longest when they’re completely empty of their oil!
Will they blow up instantly? Or will they power through? And more importantly, if it’s the latter, which will keep running for the longest?!
There’s only one way to find out - stick with Mat as we drive these cars to destruction!

These BMW engines are actually extremely strong. It's usually the things that are bolted to them that go wrong and cause the issues...the blocks themselves are nearly bulletproof. Also, draining the oil will not cause engines to seize up immediately because there's always a thin film of oil left on all of the components that will ensure some lubrication. It's only when you burn through this film that the engine will start to seize up.

Oil isnt magic juice, it's designed to lubricate the moving parts but once those moving parts have no lubrication it creates massive heat and friction which permanently damages the internal components. Once that's happened it's irreversible and the engine is totalled. No amount of oil would fix this.

BMW blocks - especially up to the early 2000s - were pretty tough nuts to crack. The problem is usually everything else around the engine 😅 And im saying this from experience btw. We have a used 2005 525i with 2.5L I6 bought in 2010. 290k km, already 70k km when we got it (Lord knows if the mileage was tampered). Everything around the car kept falling apart… except the engine. And its interesting coz the car was a UK spec and im from malaysia. And people kept warning us how UK spec beemers might have trouble dealing with Malaysia’s year-round heat and humidity. Well, prove them wrong so far.
@Beer_Dad1975 10 місяців тому
The S62 is pretty shit though. I think there are likely 2 issues here - 1 is the UZ is a much more precisely engineered unit than the S62 - fine engineering tolerances mean the bearings, starved of oil, would overheat more quickly than in an engine with lower tolerances - so the engine ceasing up first more likely shows it's better engineered than the BMW unit, not worse. Second, of course we don't know the history of either engine. Of course from real-world statistics, we know the S62 is a piece of shit with multiple fatal engineering faults, whereas the UZ is one of the most reliable V8's ever made - possibly the most reliable mass produced quad cam V8. Ultimately, running an engine well outside of its service specifications tells you nothing useful at all.

People there are driving tons of used German cars and also have no trouble with them. Only in the USA it seems that German cars suddenly become unreliable and it makes no sense to me. I once had a conversation with a friend who is a car mechanic about that and he said Americans just don't know how to maintain and repair cars properly, which of course is a dubious hypothesis at best, but I have to admit, I have no better explanation for the phenomenon that German cars only seem to be unreliable in the USA.

The only proper way to test the durability of these 2 engines is to dismount them from the chasis and put them in a control laboratory setting. This way could eliminate any hidden oil Reservoirs and other factors. Both cars are strongly built, but under real life condition no body will drive either car beyond several seconds after the low oil light comes on. But under this test, I will take the BMW for those extra several minutes.

I was doing a 60 mile trip in my suzuki liana estate 1.6 2004, around 45 miles into it my top hose got a small split on it and all coolant was gone. I continued at 60 mph to find a fuel station with the mil light on. The car had smoke pluming from the bonnet. I filled it up with water and cut effected part of the hose and re joined it. Ran fine ever since. It had 170k miles on it then it now as 184k miles. I think the last time changed the oil in it was about 3 years ago.

The BMW must have some oil left in the engine. Its impossible for the engine to run 5x longer. It have nothing to do with engineering but simple physics. What can also play huge part is in what shape the engines were before this test. Anyway it was fun to watch.

Finally I have found something UKposts doesn´t have as interesting experiment video - how it sounds and looks like to run a jet engine without oil. But the car videos I found instead are awesome too! Have you ever tried this experiment on a Diesel engine? It will maybe last longer because of the thick viscosity of Diesel.
@Beer_Dad1975 10 місяців тому
This is not an experiment in any way, shape or form - no controls, no measurements etc - and in fact I'd say the "result" favors the Toyota engine, since an engine with finer tolerances will overheat and bind up more quickly than an engine with lower tolerances, when starved of lubricant - so perhaps shows the BMW's tolerances are poor - which, well everyone knows the S62 consumes oil like a motherfucker, whereas the UZ does not...

The reason the Lexus stopped running when u take all the oil out of it is because the car detects when there's no oil in it and turns the engine off so it doesn't damage the engine by running it without oil. So, pretty much as soon as u give the Lexus any revs, the engine kills itself and stops u from running the car
