Can the car start without engine oil?

[LaJonathan]

Engine oil is essential for starting the car. Its primary function is to lubricate and cool the engine. If you attempt to drive without engine oil, the lack of lubrication will cause the engine components to rub against each other, leading to damage. Additionally, without the cooling effect, the engine may overheat during high-speed operation, potentially causing issues like burning the crankshaft or bearing shells. Engine oil, also known as motor oil or engine lubricant, is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil. It mainly contains anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers, all designed for lubricating internal combustion engines.
