What happens if your drain your car oil but nothing comes out?

Answer 1

You have serious problems if there was no oil in the crankcase. Are you sure you have removed the oil drain plug? If you have removed the oil drain plug on the bottom of the engine oil pan, then more than likely you have destroyed this engine if you have been driving it with no oil in the system. You should have seen a red oil pressure light come on if that is the case. Remove the filter and see if there was any oil in the filter. Then pour 1 quart of oil or kerosene in the engine with the drain plug removed to see if if comes out the drain. If not, then the drain is clogged and you need to remove the oil pan for inspection. If it does come out, then replace the drain plug and filter, pour in the correct amount of oil and fire it up and see how it runs. You will quickly know if you have a serious problem.
