An engine without oil will quickly turn into a solid block of metal unable to move as the surfaces that rub against each other get too hot and weld together.

What happens if you dont change engine oil?

Eventually one of two things will happen. 1. The oil will sludge up and clog up the engine, then all the critical components won't receive oil and the engine will seize. 2. The engine will use all the oil, then all the critical components won't receive oil and the engine will seize. In the end, bad things will happen regardless


Whats going to happen if you dont change your oil filter ever?

It will eventually plug up. You will then either starve the engine of oil, or be pumping unfiltered oil through the engine. Both will lead to engine failure.It will eventually plug up.

Why is your Chevy Caprice oil light on?

The oil light will come on when the oil pressure sensor reads that the expected oil pressure is not being reached. This can happen from a few different things: low oil in the engine, dirty/clogged filter, or a faulty sensor.Either way, it is recommended that you get it looked at immediately so that you dont run the risk of starving the engine or any of its parts of oil.

Can you just put gas in your 2 stroke engine and what would happen to your engine if you dont mix the oil with the gas?

Have you noticed there is no place to put oil in your 2 cycle engine? Inside your engine there are several moving parts used to convert gasoline to rotary motion. Without oil these parts will create a great deal of friction and heat causing permanent failure in minutes at best. Beating the engine with a sledge hammer will do not more damage than running an engine without oil. The oil for these moving parts in a 2 cycle engine is provided by the mist of gasoline and oil that is routed around the moving parts before it is burned in the engine.
