Immediately stop and do not drive the car any longer. Have it towed to your local mechanic and find out why it overheated. Overheating will destroy an engine and one cause is a blown head gasket. Even if you add coolant and can drive the car you should not. If the head gasket is blown, running the engine with coolant mixed with the oil will do serious damage.
Oil on engine burning as engine overheats. Sort of common sense, don't ya think?
The life of the engine unless the engine overheats.
Your question is not clear...
Ruin it if it overheats with no lubricantProbably seize
You can blow a head gasket or the head can crack or be warped.
If an engine overheats the metal parts expand and the engine will seize up. A seized engine is usually unrepairable.
Anytime the engine overheats you have the possibility of blowing the head gasket.
Normally it will last the life of the engine. However if the engine overheats the gasket can be ruined immediately.
Until it overheats, runs out of oil or gas, or has a mechanical failure.
The engine overheats and parts can melt, crack, even explode (massive expansion due to heat.)
My 2007 overheated and the engine shut down automatically - while I was driving
takes the heat away from engine low coolant??
