Can an Engine Start Without Engine Oil?

[ElizabethLynn]

Without engine oil, a car can start but cannot be driven. Continuing to drive with insufficient oil can lead to poor lubrication, causing component wear and potentially severe consequences such as cylinder scuffing, ultimately damaging the engine. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, imparting new characteristics and making them an essential part of the lubricant.
