    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.

      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.

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.

      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.
