Depends on the engine but severe engine damage will start to occur almost immediately. It will run a few minutes until it starts to overheat then the engine will seize. It will not take long to destroy the engine.

Can too much engine oil cause overheating?
Yes it can. To much oil and the crank can turn it into foam. Which will cause a loss of oil pressure. This can lead to engine damage and over heating if you run it long enough.
Where does the oil pressure line run to underneath the dash of a 1977 trans am?
It runs from the oil pressure gauge to the sending unit on the engine.
Does a 2000 dodge caravan have a oil pressure circuit protection?
If you are asking if the engine will shut off when the sensor does not detect oil pressure, the answer is no. It will run without an oil pressure reading.
Why is your Oil pressure gauge fluctuating up and down indicator reading oil pressure low stop engine light on?
Do not run the engine until you have checked oil level, sounds like you are very low on oil.
Will a bad oil sending unit on a 2005 Chrysler pt cruiser cause engine not to start?
No. The oil pressure sensor is not required for the engine to run.
Can you drive with a bad oil pressure sending unit?
As long as the engine will run (some won't) it is possible to drive it.ButMost bad senders leak oil and will ruin the engine Some systems will not provide power to the fuel pump when the sender is bad.Old old trucks will run
Does a 1988 Chevy C10 with EFI have an oil pressure switch that shuts off the fuel pump if the oil pressure is low?
no, however the fuel pump has a secondary route through the oil pressure switch.If the fuel pump relay goes out the pump will run through the oil pressure switch after the engine gets oil pressure. this results in extended engine cranking time before the engine will start
Oil light in a Ford Taurus 02 stays on but oil is full?
DO NOT RUN this engine until you have it checked out,if you have no oil pressure you will destroy your engine.If your oil light is on you have no oil pressure,could be your oil pump or crankshaft bearings.There is a chance it could be a pressure switch malfunction.
Will a bad harmonic balancer cause fluctuating oil pressure?
No. The harmonic balancer does exactly what it says. It is to keep the engine from viberating. You need to install a manual oil pressure gauge and run the engine cold and hot to determine if you really have a pressure problem. Most likely you have a bad oil pressure sending unit.
Why oil pan light inside 1993 Honda accord keep comimg on?
Oil pan light???? You mean oil pressure light. It means you have low oil pressure. Do not run this engine until this is fixed. Severe engine damage will occur. All red lights mean stop! He is right - don't drive your car any more. Either you are very low on oil or else oil is not getting pumped to your engine. You might also have a faulty oil pressure sending unit, but I wouldn't run the engine or else you risk blowing it up.
Will the head gasket be blown on a chev 350 if its run with no oil pressure?
No, the head gasket will be fine. BUT, it will probably score the cylinder walls, break the piston rings, score the crankshaft and seize the engine to run it with no oil pressure.
Can a Toyota engine still run without having an oil change for a year?
As long as there is oil in the engine it can run. If it has not had an oil change for a year even if it was stored I would change the oil/filter before driving this car.
