Can a car still run if it has no engine oil at all?

If there's no engine oil left, meaning the dipstick shows no oil but the oil warning light hasn't come on yet, you can still drive. However, if the oil warning light is on and the engine noise becomes louder, it's recommended not to drive. Information about engine oil: 1. Oil change: Once engine oil is unpacked and added to the engine, whether the engine is running or not, after a period of time, oxygen in the air will react chemically with the additives in the oil, weakening or eliminating the protective effect of the oil. Therefore, after a certain period, the oil must be changed. 2. Shortening the cycle: In actual use, adjustments should be made based on specific usage conditions. For example, if you frequently drive at low speeds in congested urban intersections, take frequent short trips, drive in low temperatures, or if the local fuel quality is poor, it's advisable to appropriately shorten the oil change cycle. If you often drive under good road conditions with the engine mostly operating at economical speeds, you can appropriately extend the oil change cycle.
