I just ran into an interesting post here.
Here's an excerpt from one of user TRD VVTi's posts on that page:
Quote:
How far can the car go without oil? It really depends. I've seen cars go for 30 miles without oil and have seen cars that locked up after just seconds of running. For some reason Toyotas seem to fair well though. I've seen an Avalon run for over a half hour without oil and then still keep running for over 15 minutes after running at 4,000 RPM's (rough estimate from memory).
Is this even reasonable? I've certainly never tried it myself. I do remember a Syntec commercial once, where they did this.
