can you run a car with out oil? I went off roading in the civ and punched a hole in the oil pan and ran it out of oil. I didn’t notice until it was clapping pretty loud I looked and noticed the oil light was on. ☹ I hope its not ruined. It wasn’t knocking yet, but it sounded like the whole motor was just mechanically loud. All in all i would say it was run for about 3 minutes around 3k RPM. Is my car fuct? ---

civics can actually take a lot of abuse, but I wouldn’t expect it to last much longer, get a new oil pan and fill her up, see what happens lol. ---
