If you did the oil change yourself, one way that could happen is if you didn't put any oil back into the crankcase before starting the vehicle. And then it would only overheat once, before the engine would seize up. Also, if you didn't put enough oil in the crank, its possible that there is enough oil to lube the main crank bearings but not enough to make it to the cylinder linings causing too much friction and heat. Not likely. Otherwise the two items are not related to one another, and this could be coincidental. If you had a Jiffy Lube or other service station do the oil change, it is possible that they fouled something up under the hood. I once had a jiffy joint change my oil in Great Lakes, IL. and I ended up with a bunch of cork gasket material in my crankcase causing my oil pump suction strainer to clog up and a subsequent loss of oil pressure to the engine. The main bearings were not damaged due to there being enough oil in the crankcase to splash lube them. Check your coolant level to make sure it is normal. Also check to see of the coolant is clean and free from combustion by-products. To do this, remove the radiator cap, start the engine and look for gasses escaping from the radiator or the coolant bubbling up and over. This would indicate a blown head gasket. Make sure the oil level is normal. If you have an oil pressure indicator, either a gage or a meter or an indicator light, check to see if the pressure is normal. If both the pressure ans level are normal, more than likely the problems aren't related. But like I said, whoever changed the oil could have accidentally broke something (not sure what) under the hood. [To check that your oil pressure indicator light is working, turn the ignition key to the run position (but do not start the car), and all the dash indicator lights should illuminate for a few seconds then go out.]
What else can I help you with?
If Oil pressure is low can it cause car to overheat?
If oil pressure is low it certainly can cause the car to overheat. This is because the mechanisms are not being properly lubricated with enough oil.
Oil in the water but car didn't overheat?
you have a head gasket out.
What happens if you put oil in car radiator?
Circulating water will not be sufficient and the car will overheat.
Can low oil cause a car to overheat?
Yes.having low or no oil causes friction in the pistons which will cause car 2overheat.
Why does car overheat?
There could be many reasons. Not enough coolant or bad flow, faulty thermostat, low oil. If the coolant freezes then it will overheat. If your car continues to overheat then you should have the coolant flushed and thermostat replaced.
What will happen if your car loses too much oil?
Engine will overheat and seize
Getting an Oil Change?
When your car needs an oil change, there are a number of things you need to take into consideration. While every car needs an oil change after a certain amount of miles or months, exactly how you can accomplish that oil change is dictated by the type of car you have. For example, if you have a used car that is not under warranty, you can change the oil yourself or have it changed by anyone that you want. However, if you have a new car that is under warranty, you may find that you aren't allowed to do that. Some car warranties may require you to take your car into a certified oil change center to change the old oil without voiding your warranty.
Will low oil cause the car to overheat?
No low oil will not cause your car to overheat. But there is a couple other things that can cause your car to over heat, like a bad thermostate that's located in the block of the engine or can be the water pump not cycling the water into the engine. Hope this helps
I was driving 120km on freeway the oil light came on and I had no power pulled off I could start the car but it made a noice i then realized the water bottle was empty but it did not overheat What?
Your car will not overheat because you still got water in it. You might want to check your oil. The light indicate that the car is either low or out of lubricating oil, please do not run your car yet, check and add oil first.
Will your car overheat if you have a cracked head?
Yes! if you have a cracked head chances are your oil and coolant are mixing together and coolant and or oil is leaking out causing the vehicle to overheat... if you have a cracked head fix it! do not drive the vehicle
Will it cause the car to overheat if the engine oil pan gasket is broken?
Not unless you loose enough oil to cause a lack of lubrication.
Can a bad oil change hurt the performance of your car?
If you wait to long to change your oil you can hurt your car. What excatly is a Bad oil change?
