When was your last oil change and who did it... its their fault. |

It's a gonner. it likely happened when i left my house this morning, i heard the clunk of something hitting the undercarriage, assumed it was just some crap in the road. i drove to work - 15 minutes - car was shaky and noisy and "surge-y" - like it stopped running for a second when i was moving faster/steadier, oil light came on, stalled once when downshifting to make a turn. After about 3 hours, I drove it across the street to the nearest service shop - 2 minutes. No issues besides shaky, noisy. Oil light still on. Grand total of 10 miles, maybe?
Oh... not good. put a filter on it, oil in it and trade it in if it still runs... unless you had a very recent oil change. |

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: TAN #180 Degrees (Turn Around, Every Now and Then) I'm not a mechanic, and there could be damage, BUT, if it was still running, there may be a chance that with a new filter and putting oil back in, it might be ok. But I will defer to anyone who knows more. |

those are tough little engines, but driving anything without oil is bad bad bad... if indeed the filter was off all that time you have probably used up most of if not all of the engines life... |

I think the test is if they can get it to turn over for starters. It may run for a while without oil, but as soon as you stop and it cools, it never starts again. |

Expert 2122 Next to a big lake | Subject: RE: TAN #180 Degrees (Turn Around, Every Now and Then) mehaner - 2012-09-05 2:30 PM You might be fine since you did not drive it hard and it did not have much of a chance to warm up. Suggest this... Drop the oil pan and clean it out. Replace and do a good oil change. Then after a few hundred miles, do another oil change and drop the oil pan. open up the oil filter to see if there is a bunch of metal. If not button it up and press on. tcarlson78 - 2012-09-05 2:28 PM jspelay - 2012-09-05 2:24 PM Did you drive it in any unusual places, ie Offroad?

When was your last oil change and who did it... its their fault. jiffy lube - it was realllly long ago -- 4 months?? but less than 3000 miles. my car mainly does in town driving.
those are tough little engines, but driving anything without oil is bad bad bad... if indeed the filter was off all that time you have probably used up most of if not all of the engines life... Worst case they can prime the motor before starting it but it should be ok as long as this doesn't happen again. Watching the oil pressure will be the biggest clue to see if it drops due to the excessive clearances. Does it have an oil pressure gauge or just a warning light?

I know of a pickup that was actually seized from a guy doing his own oil change and forgetting to put oil in it before he started it. Once it cooled off it ran, was never the same but he drove it for quite a while. |

I had an Audi that had oil issues and was never the same even after getting a ton of work done. |

Expert 2122 Next to a big lake | Subject: RE: TAN #180 Degrees (Turn Around, Every Now and Then) mehaner - 2012-09-05 2:34 PM Cheap option is to do what Cord suggests, Oil her up and see. If you can get a day or two out of it drive it in to carmax, and trade it out. My suggestion is more detailed and given the age of the car perhaps more work than you would want to do but I play weekend mechanic sometimes. Go with Cord's idea and consider a oil additive so it runs sweet when you brin it in to CarmaxBig Appa - 2012-09-05 2:33 PM mehaner - 2012-09-05 11:28 AM If it was still running you should be ok.

Champion 17756 SoCal | Subject: RE: TAN #180 Degrees (Turn Around, Every Now and Then) Meh do you have a in cluster oil pressure gauge? Also I am guessing it has variable valve timing and that was the rough engine and sputtering you felt. The CVVT needs oil pressure to control the timing and when low on oil pressure the engine will run rough. As long as the bearings had enough oil the engine will be ok for now. The shop should prime the engine first before starting and check the oil for flakes of babbitt (bearing) material. |
