Can You Drive Without Engine Oil?
1 Answers
You cannot drive without engine oil, because: Lack of oil can easily cause severe wear inside the engine, and even soften and fuse components together, leading to vehicle breakdown. In minor cases, parts may need replacement, while in severe cases, the entire engine assembly may require replacement. The functions of engine oil are: 1. It reduces friction and damage between moving parts; 2. It absorbs heat generated in the engine combustion chamber and piston top, cooling the engine and protecting it from overheating; 3. It fills the gap between piston rings and cylinder liners to prevent leakage of combustion pressure; 4. It prevents pollutants and oxide impurities generated during combustion from adhering to the engine interior, keeping it clean; 5. It neutralizes acidic substances produced by combustion gases, preventing engine rust and corrosion.
