Can an Engine Start Without Oil?
1 Answers
An engine cannot start without oil. Below is relevant information about engine oil: Hazards of Starting Without Oil: Engine oil provides excellent lubrication and cooling for the engine. Forcing the engine to run without oil will cause engine components to rub against each other and become damaged due to the lack of lubrication. Additionally, without the cooling effect of oil, the engine may experience burning of the crankshaft and bearing shells during high-speed operation. Introduction to Engine Oil: Engine oil, also known as motor oil or engine lubricant, is a substance enhanced with additives in a base oil. It primarily contains anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines.
