If you run an engine without oil, the pistons will over heat, and other components in your cranckcase and parts that need oil can crack because of no oil. You'll spend big $ to get your car fixed if you run it with no oil.

Can you steer if overheating?

As long as the engine is running you will have power assisted steering. With the engine not running you will not have power assist and it will be hard to turn but turn-able. If the engine is overheating it would be wise to pull over and park when safe to do so and shut off the engine before expensive damage is done to the engine.


Will the engine get damaged when timing belt breaks on a 04 dodge stratus coupe?

On the Stratus V6 which is an interference engine it will damage the engine if it breaks. On the 4 cylinder which is not an interference engine, no engine damage will be done. However it would stop the engine from running. And, if this happened at a bad time, and you got in a wreck, it could not only damage the engine, it could damage the whole car and you. The belt can break with no warning. Replace it according to the recommendation of Dodge.
