I ran 3 cars with NO OIL until they DIED. Which lasted longest?

Even wondered what would happen if your car's engine ran out of oil, but were too afraid to test it out? Well, wonder no more! Mat's brought along a Honda Civic, Peugeot 206 and Ford Focus to see what would happen to these everyday heroes if you try and run them when they're completely dry of fluid. But which will rum for the longest? Let us know in the comments, then watch the video to find out!

2:20 The engine speed drops and the engine goes into hunting mode, but this is not due to damage to the engine. This is the ignition prevention control mode. All Honda cars from about 20 years ago have this control. If you fall asleep with the engine running and press the accelerator unintentionally, we purposely set the hunting to prevent it from catching fire. This is to lower the exhaust temperature. Depending on the engine with a high maximum rotation speed, it will enter this mode in about 30 seconds. Once you let go of the accelerator, lower the revs, and then fully open the accelerator again, The engine speed will rise again to near the red zone. It wasn't broken, it was working properly.

Note the oil light wasn't on in the Honda. The sump must be designed so that when the oil is drained, just enough is left to feel the oil system for a few minutes.

[@averyalexander2303]

I noticed that too. The oil pan on those Civics most definitely does not retain a significant amount of oil after it's drained though. Makes me wonder if they faked the Honda result and left some oil in it. That combined with how long as it lasted, it looks like they might have just drained the coolant from the Honda.

@@averyalexander2303 unlikely they faked it. I accidentally ran mine(similar model to this, british made, MA9) with the oil critically low for days because I wasn't aware of a leak. After realizing my mistake, filled it up, fixed the leak(it was from the dickhead that fucked up my drain plug), and it ran just fine, even the piston rings were ok, I can't explain it, but there's definitely some insane engineering behind their 90's motors.

this is not the way a car should be treated tho. every year 1 oil change. old dirty oil will sooner or later clog up the oil control rings and then they seize on the pistons and they wont do thier job. means the car will start burning oil. if a car starts burning oil, the life of your engine oil gets shortened and the residue from burning all that oil will clog up other things like valves, the other 2 piston rings and before you know it, your engine burns more and more oil and the seized rings wear out the cylinder bores and the engine is toast. so people, DO YOUR OIL CHANGES

Everyone with new GDI engines, install a oil catch can, clean your PCV valve, clean your throttle body, clean the intake valves, and MAF Sensor every 15,000-20,000 miles along with ordinary maintenance. Stick to OEM filters or use Beck/Arnley filters. The new A02 Honda OEM Filters are garbage. Honda switch suppliers in 2016 for their oil filters and they’ve gotten worse. The gasket around the OEM air filter should be kept because it is often softer than aftermarket gaskets.
