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!

Still heartbreaking for me to let an engine running without oil 🥺
it hurts my german heart
Ye not great seeing these classics destroyed like that.

@@dcode1000 No, i wish. I have a Hyundai, haha.
these cars were really cheap and probably not in very good condition to begin with
As a BMW owner, I knew it would survive longer because BMW know their cars can never hold oil

I thought exactly the same, and Toyota or Lexuses can't run without oil, because they are simply built to never loose oil xD

Every car has an oil auto-drain feature, you just have wait it out and neglect it longer.
It is funny that the lexus is by far the most reliable v8 WITH oil, but is renowned for being absolutely intolerant of oil starvation which usually kills them incredibly quickly. It is interesting how different designs shine in different conditions
if bmw didn’t strap their engines to plastic bits that shouldn’t be plastic (ie water pump) and cram really new technology into every engine they have, they would be some of the most reliable engines in the world. but even with their issues, they run like dreams.

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.
💯%
Yup only when metal touches metal directly - then it's game over very quickly
yeah
Except they have rod bearing issues and timing chain stretches.
@@dogchainsaw3923 my diesel E91 BMW has over 300.000km and still original timing chain and rod bearing 🤔
To be fair. That BMW has been well prepped for this. It’s spent most of its life short on oil. The Lexus IS new to this!
not on mine
Yeah, All BMWs are actually hybrids. They burn through gas and oil. and some burn through the rubber too.
😂
Of course it takes an Anglo to destroy something brilliant that Germany built, typical
Oh
I accidentally did this with a 96 jeep Cherokee xj. Bought it for $400 and drove to my house. The coolant temp got high and I checked the oil amongst other things. Discover no oil. That was years ago now and it still runs perfectly despite a good 15 minute drive across town.
That is a steal! Well done.
Carwow: we're going to drain the oil out of this BMW and see how long it runs.
BMW rod bearings: *sweat nervously*
Would be interesting to shove oil back in and see if will start back up
would have liked to have seen that
TRUE THO
It won't sadly, cause all the parts are already absolutely demolished and shoving the oil back in won't make any difference really
Nothing will happen I tried it with my grand Cherokee , it’s still sitting in my driveway .
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.
I'd love to see what the engines look like once torn apart.
Another channel did this same test but with an old VW and then did a tear down and showed what failed. czcams.com/video/-FjNkT0I7Rg/video.html

Man, that hurts so much seeing that bmw treated like that. I get the running the engine without oil test okay but throwing rocks at it really pains me to see😢 I really like that design.
Agree. Its not okay 😢
It's the ugliest generation of BMW of all time but I agree it's hard to see it. Mat is not a car person. He's an entertainer.

@@FELIPE8226M Exactly, you can get such an old 7 series here in Germany starting at 2000 EUR.
@@sophist1cated but still such nice cars it's still break my heart
Why did you ruin the nice engines (nasty taunt)
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. In fact, its better for the lexus engine to fail earlier to prevent catastrophic failure. This is just for entertainment only.
That V8 in the BMW is actually one of the strongest engines ever developed
I do not like BMW's but credit's due when they actually build something good
My n62v8 which is what in the bmw but mine is the 4.4L it’s good engine but it’s likes to act sometimes but 99% of the time is perfect
Well I've heard they're good if you do the valve steam seals, transmission valve body's etc... Though I'd rather get a N/A 6 cylinder as they're BMW's more reliable...
if only the other compnents didnt die so quickly
@@Maximus20778 Well... That's the drawback
The lexus in this case would still be a better pick
The internals are actually weaker but it will still outlast the BMW by a long shot due to it's simplistic design
@@HyraxGames yeah the 3UZ is a bit weaker than the 1UZ
Strange how the ECU doesn’t block the engine from starting when the oil sensor sees there is no oil?
So you want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere if the sensor goes bad??
@@fi8er1 A pressure sensor is pretty bulletproof. I wouldn't go anywhere anyways if it says low oil pressure. It would just make it idiotproof to not junk the engine.
@@fi8er1 I prefer that to paying for a new engine
@@fi8er1 How would you know if it’s only the sensor though? Not worth the risk. Better to get it towed imo.
@@fi8er1 Yes. Because how would you know if it's the sensor's problem or the engine's problem? You don't, so better play it safe and don't drive any further.
Now i know why common BMWs got oil leak, because their car didn't need oil. so the engine automaticaly vomiting the oil and it called "oil leak"
A V8 which is "not fit for road" successfully manages to drift like a champ . . . Pure bullshit !!!
That's quite a jump from the small cars that competed in this very challenge!
Weird experiment, but still fun to watch XD
Yep. Imagine if Mat do this unique race between Peugeot 9X8 vs Golf IV GTi.
What's the mileage?
I owned one of those 7 series V8s and I never had an issue with the engine...just the transmission, the climate system, the suspension and brakes and the electrics.
@@simonmiller5118 basically everything else 😂
@@AGLIBABY All the tech died. It became a Lexus.
That older Honda-Peugeot-Ford video was absolutely crazy, especially when that Civic turns into zombie form after taking some coke and mentos, and still continues to run.
That Honda was an absolutely beast. That engine was as tough as can get. Honda reliability, am I right?
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan was expecting it to take slightly longer than the other two to kill its engine, but didn't expect thaaaat long
Seeing how BMWs are notorious for losing oil, I guess it makes sense that it worked for such a long time
Never in my life have I seen a blown a Lexus v8 blown and just left alone. That's a bulletproof engine.
Missing histories of both engines, this test means nothing. Also, like I mention in one other comment in made in this video, maybe the Lexus Engine shut itself down once the oil pressure sensor detected that the oil pressure was too low. For a test, add Engine oil again in both car and let's see which one will start, just curious. Cheers!

To be fair, the Lexus had a coolant failure before they even bought it. I reckon the engine was already warped long before this test started.
That’s what I thought too
That bmw lump has 2 sump plugs one up by the filter housing it holds about 1.7ltr as the cooler runs off it. They purposely picked this engine to do this test they're getting lambasted for it in comments and UK forums already. They need to stop trying to pull the wool as the Old Defender VS New Defender shill stunts were enough for anyone to be disgusted with this channel. They don't want to be pulling stunts like this now tbh as all the car review and drag time channels are currently under fire for "abnormalities" in their claims.
@@bigduphusaj162 I don't think it was on purpose ya conspiracy theorist:p
So it’s paid video.
@@td1068 yes it was. This is a shill vid
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.
@@Beer_Dad1975 exactly 👍
instead of making their engines resistant to oil consumption and leaks, bmw just designs their engines to withstand prolonged use without oil

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.
My more modern 435i was my most unreliable car. Was still a great car
Sure, but Lexus in general is more reliable / dependable than BMW.
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.
Yo, I have the 120d, same B47 engine. It really is good.

There´s one thing, Mat. The LS has a system which shuts down the engine when it detects there´s no oil in order to protect the engine. The 7-Series, though just went on and on until the whole engine got destroyed.
The engine in 7-Series goes to scrapyard
The engine in LS suffered minor damage and can be repaired
Doesn't really explain why it ran for a while with no oil
First was the little economy cars and now these v8 luxury cruisers.
Next up should be the Bugatti Chiron vs Mclaren Senna with no oil.
Take the BMW to a dealership and ask for an inspection and get a quote on how much it would make this thing run again. 🤣🤣
Definitely needs a new engine.
They would just try to sell you a new car at that point lmfao
let it cool down fill it with oil and there's a possibility it would start up again...

My guess is that the BMW had more oil left in it that couldn't drain out.
I am in awe. I expected Lexus to cake walk it?
I am really surprised with this.
I would be surprised if BMW used weaker components that Lexus. Japan has always built cheaper cars. Reliable mostly because they are simple and tried. But I have never really seen them be more durable.
I share the same sentiment. At the beginning I was like "The Lexus will run around that BMW. Why even try". Imagine my surprise when BMW actually won
Toyota is a car company with average cars. They used to make long lasting reliable vehicles but not over the past 10 to 15 years.

Some engines retain more oil when ‘empty’ than others.
I would bet that Lexus does a better job of fully letting the old oil out.
I was thinking that, oil cooler possibly held loads back also(?)
Yeah, case in point, BMW had to add a second drain plug to the E60/61 M5 (MY2008 and later) because it was impossible to do a full oil change, a litre or more of old oil would remain trapped in the shallower part of the sump, near the pump.
@@nfmonteiro
Exactly.
I doubt BMW use metals /!gaskets that are that much more tolerant than Lexus to overheating.
Experience tells us the opposite is probably true.
Or perhaps the LS had already been abused more and run hot.

Never mind 🤓
@@nfmonteiro Which makes this BMW vs Lexus test biased.
@@5-40_ oil coolers sometimes are crushed.
The oil was drained while the front end of each car's front end was on a ramp. Due to this angle, the oil won't drain evenly, those it's possible one or both cars had oil remaining in different quantities. Not scientific but entertaining regardless.
Would it be almost seven times more oil in the bmw, since it performed almost seven times better lol

The BMW must have some oil left in the engine. Its impossible for the engine to run 5x longer. It have nothing to do with engineering but simple physics. What can also play huge part is in what shape the engines were before this test. Anyway it was fun to watch.

I knew a woman when I was stationed at Ft. Bliss that asked me to look at her BMW because her check engine light was on! So the first thing I did was to check the oil in case there was a head gasket and saw that the engine was completely dry and she had been driving it like that for 3 months!

You can tell that mat love bmw with all his heart, I have noticed in many drag races 🏁
Yes, he love BMW... And it´s completely normal.
He loves to hate BMW's, because Mercedes costs more, has bigger engines, etc...
But he loves the fact that many test BMW's outperform higher spec Mercedes cars, and when similar for HP:Weight it's a complete slaughter.
Throwing stones at a car even if it isn’t road worthy doesn’t make you a car enthusiast
I almost cried watching you do all of this torture to the BMW 😐😐😐 What a fucking shame that could have been a donor motor and donor parts…
270hp and 280hp from V8s? It just goes to show how much technology has advanced in the last 20 years and just how much of an impact technology has had on engines.
That, and personally i think they were tuned low for better reliability? So the engine isnt as stressed
@@kjellandrebakken6775 I mean they were luxury cars not designed for race power by any means
@@kjellandrebakken6775 For example, the M62B44 has around 300hp, but the engine handles 800hp easily without blowing. They really are built for the engines to last decades. Todays VW and almost every other car last about 50k km when the transmission needs to be replaced and the engines built with really thin and easily breakable stuff
No not that much has happened really.. They just added turbos. You can turbo the old ones too. Will get near the same hp as the new ones.
True but Lexus doesn't build super high output V8s and the 7 series was an entry model V8 at the time they had many more powerful engines in the line up.
I can't believe the BMW did so well. 🤯
BMW make better cars than Lexus why you are surprised? If they took the E38 instead the E65 7-Series the video will go around 1 week 😂😂
@@m.b.6744 yeah. No
@@m.b.6744 they make really shitty v10s also the v prolly lasted since bmw dosent know hot to make a proper valve seal
@@m.b.6744 nah

Those 2 V8s were suffering from over heating! It's so heartbreaking to me!
As a car guy I can say I'm happy those horrible wastes of imagination and metal were thrashed to death those BMWs are the ugliest cars ever made with the least reliable V8s ever made the Lexus is okay it's just it's so boring if you want a boring man's luxury car get the Lexus
@@GreenTheScreen123 the LS430 is not boring at all, have you even driven one? I slide mine around all the time, endless fun.
