Everyone loves a V8, right?! All of you car fans know that one day you would love to get your hands on a car that has one of those glorious engines hidden under the bonnet.
However, just how glorious will these engines prove to be if they were left to run when totally drained of their oil? Well, we’re about to find out!
We’ve got our hands on two no longer road-worthy cars - a BMW 7 Series, and a Lexus LS, and we’re going to drain their delightful V8s to see which can run the longest when they’re completely empty of their oil!
Will they blow up instantly? Or will they power through? And more importantly, if it’s the latter, which will keep running for the longest?!
There’s only one way to find out - stick with Mat as we drive these cars to destruction!

These BMW engines are actually extremely strong. It's usually the things that are bolted to them that go wrong and cause the issues...the blocks themselves are nearly bulletproof. Also, draining the oil will not cause engines to seize up immediately because there's always a thin film of oil left on all of the components that will ensure some lubrication. It's only when you burn through this film that the engine will start to seize up.

Oil isnt magic juice, it's designed to lubricate the moving parts but once those moving parts have no lubrication it creates massive heat and friction which permanently damages the internal components. Once that's happened it's irreversible and the engine is totalled. No amount of oil would fix this.

BMW blocks - especially up to the early 2000s - were pretty tough nuts to crack. The problem is usually everything else around the engine 😅 And im saying this from experience btw. We have a used 2005 525i with 2.5L I6 bought in 2010. 290k km, already 70k km when we got it (Lord knows if the mileage was tampered). Everything around the car kept falling apart… except the engine. And its interesting coz the car was a UK spec and im from malaysia. And people kept warning us how UK spec beemers might have trouble dealing with Malaysia’s year-round heat and humidity. Well, prove them wrong so far.

The S62 is pretty shit though. I think there are likely 2 issues here - 1 is the UZ is a much more precisely engineered unit than the S62 - fine engineering tolerances mean the bearings, starved of oil, would overheat more quickly than in an engine with lower tolerances - so the engine ceasing up first more likely shows it's better engineered than the BMW unit, not worse. Second, of course we don't know the history of either engine. Of course from real-world statistics, we know the S62 is a piece of shit with multiple fatal engineering faults, whereas the UZ is one of the most reliable V8's ever made - possibly the most reliable mass produced quad cam V8. Ultimately, running an engine well outside of its service specifications tells you nothing useful at all.

@@Beer_Dad1975 : Yup, agreed. Nobody will run an engine with all its oil drained out. Its not an accurate measurement of engine reliability on a long term ownership point of view.

Interestingly, that's the second UZ I've seen die a very rapid death without oil. The other one had an oil filter come loose while driving. Pressure light came on, it was immediately pulled over and parked, but was still cooked almost instantly. However, keep the oil in them and they're literally immortal.

It's not surprising at all - the finer the tolerances are, the quicker something will cease - therefore all this demonstrates is the UZ engine is probably engineered to higher precision than the N62.

The only proper way to test the durability of these 2 engines is to dismount them from the chasis and put them in a control laboratory setting. This way could eliminate any hidden oil Reservoirs and other factors. Both cars are strongly built, but under real life condition no body will drive either car beyond several seconds after the low oil light comes on. But under this test, I will take the BMW for those extra several minutes.

I know people in this comment section would be surprised by the BMW winning but I’m not. My previous car was a 2011 BMW 323i which I had until the beginning of this year and it was easily the most reliable car I’ve owned. 9 years and 0 issues. Only at the end did it start to develop an oil leak which was an easy fix, however, I decided it was finally time to sell it and I bought a 2016 BMW 420d. So far I’ve had 0 issues and it would have to be one of the most efficient motors in a car today. BMW’s are reliable if you treat them with care.

Yeah. I don't get where German cars got that bad reputation for being unreliable from. I'm ethnically not German, but I live in Germany and you never hear of people having trouble with their German brand cars here. Same in eastern Europe, where I have relatives. People there are driving tons of used German cars and also have no trouble with them. Only in the USA it seems that German cars suddenly become unreliable and it makes no sense to me. I once had a conversation with a friend who is a car mechanic about that and he said Americans just don't know how to maintain and repair cars properly, which of course is a dubious hypothesis at best, but I have to admit, I have no better explanation for the phenomenon that German cars only seem to be unreliable in the USA.

@@WimTheInstigator That would make some sense though as that was basically the first generation of the turbocharged motors and they are known for not being very reliable. Mine is a 2016 that is pre-facelift but comes with the safety features and updated motors that the F30 LCI came out with in 2015. The later 340i and 440i are known to be two of the most reliable luxury cars out there.
