So I drained my oil out and drove to Wal-Mart to buy some new oil...

[EricC]

It's just a couple blocks and the car won't even make it, wtf. I started going and the car started acting like crap, so I just parked and walked home, should I even bother walking to Wal-Mart to get the oil or should I have my dad look at it?

[Pure_Evil]

you're kidding, right?

[Asian Invasian]

You cant be serious.. you drained your oil and tried driving like that? If your serious your car is gone.

[EricC]

It's just a couple blocks, I don't see the big deal. I just wanted to get done everything I could at home before going to Wal-Mart and actually buying the oil.

[Pure_Evil]

engine - oil + run = cooked :down:

[EricC]

Wouldn't I need to drive for a couple hours for it to get that hot though? Sometimes I drive all day and when I put my hand on the hood it's just warm. The engine's made of metal, not plastic or something, I don't think the whole thing could just melt that fast.

Are you trying to scare me?

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Here is what happened. The Block needs to have oil to lube the parts. The block froze from lack of lube. Pistons overheated and expanded caused the block to crack. You may not see the cracks but I assure you it cracked.

The Cylinder heads (top half of engine) experienced the same thing.

Dependiing on the type of vechile you have the cost to repair could range from 3 grand up to 5 grand. A company called STK maked good engines.

[Die Hard]

Yup your screwed, even i know that and i know nothing :thumbs:

[EricC]

I left a message on my dad's voice mail. I didn't tell him the whole story, just that my car had some trouble. I left it in a municipal parking lot. I'll put some oil in it before he gets over there and let him look at it and see what he says.

Putting oil in it will not help. Be honest with your pops.

[Perfect aim]

now i never want a car :(

[Asian Invasian]

Man, sorry to tell you but your engine is definantly going to be gone unless your extremely lucky, which i really doubt. Your engine does not run without oil, just like who cares stated your block is most likely cracked and your pistons probably did too. :(

[BobtheCkroach]

This has the 5 stages of grief written all over it:

Denial - It can't melt that fast.

Anger - stop scaring him, guys

Bargaining - I'm gonna put oil in it so my dad thinks it's something else and doesn't get so mad.

Depression - My dad is going to kill me.

Acceptance - We're waiting anxiously.

ROFL,

You really got to be joking! If it's true we are worse off in the future than I ever realised.

[Gun Element]

I dont know how you can't see the "big deal" because you just said it runs really crappy. Theirs evidence that you made a really... REALLY bad mistake.

Im also curious as to why you would do that anyway. It wouldn't have saved time to do that before or after. Oh well.

I just hope it isn't a nice car...

Because I didn't HAVE the oil THERE and I wanted to get started. I'm sorry if I like to do things efficiently.

my car is a 1979 corvette ( http://a120.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00776/91/10/776020119_l.jpg )

Thats a car my friend wants very badly. ouch!

You had to go to wal-mart to get oil no matter which way you did it.

HOW would it possibly be more efficient to stop a project in the middle to get required parts than to get everything and do it start-to-end without stopping?

Also...HOW can you know how to change oil without knowing it's importance?

When My dad taught me to change oil, he must have repeated 1 thing 1000 times.

When you finish, make sure you have the nut back in the oil pan TIGHT.

When you pour oil in, watch the bottom. When you're done, check the bottom. Wait 5 minutes...check the bottom.

Because if the oil comes out and you so much as turn the car on, you WILL do damage.

[Sepra]

I just clicked on the link in your sig Bob and this was an alternate Hoff vid to watch http://youtube.com/watch?v=oYj6TceYio0&mode=related&search=

So sad for the kid.... :(

[BobtheCkroach]

Wow, that's really sad, sepra. I much prefer his music videos to that :(

I've never understood why people do that to themselves :dunno:

Ahahaha..now I know you're just bustin our stones...

I had to laugh, but I've seen things like that happens all too often here at the dealership..We had a Mustang in here not too long ago, 25,000 miles and the original gray old filter from the assembly line still on it..Guy argued with us about it, " why should I have to change my oil, it's a brand new car !! "

:rolleyes:

[Goober]

Ahahaha..now I know you're just bustin our stones...

:rolleyes:


I agree, if my son had done that he wouldn't be able to type anymore. He'd be to busy working 3 jobs to replace that moter.Of course, he hasn't posted in a while...hmmmm.

[Caged Anger]

There's is nothing that can convey the deep dread I have in my stomach if these are going to be the brains running the world eventually...

[EXEcution]

Don't be so hard on him he made a mistake, or he could be pulling our leg. Best of luck to you Eric if what you say is true.

[Black Rose]

well I still think he is kidding and joking, because normally if someone knows how to drain oil out on a car, he knows also the facts why a car needs oil and so on...yeepers I hope you are kidding Eric... if not, your dad has done a pretty poor job in teaching you :rolleyes:

[NightBreed]

My point was that a 19 yr old kid with a Corvette would have better pics of his ride other than a random shot in a mall parking lot..
When I was 19 I had a 67 LeMans..:wub: and a 64 Cadillac..:thumbs: Took a ton of pics, damned if I know where they are now...:confused: :bawling:

[PuRe AnGeL]

i know abasoulte NOTHING about cars - fact. But from what people are saying you've probably done something real bad.

Just tell your dad everything- face it; you did it.

Good luck =].

[PJ'l_Master]

this is tottaly fake! its gotta be

but its definately a 10/10 for trolling

Yea look how long this thread is. Longest running one we've had for a while here at GM. :worldssma

[PuRe AnGeL]

this is tottaly fake!

what makes you think it is fake?

[BobtheCkroach]

what makes you think it is fake?

The idea that someone knows how to change oil, but doesn't know that you can't run a car without it is similar to the idea that someone knows how to install a video card, but doesn't understand that power is required to turn the thing on...

[Gun Element]

The reason I believe this is real is that he posted something REALLY stupid and still doesn't understand why its such a problem (to not have oil in the car). Why would he make a fool out of himself, its not funny, its not making him become famous.

It still bothers me..
(sorry ericC) :(

[Gun Element]

Unless one of his friends posted this to make fun of him :eek:

[PJ'l_Master]

what makes you think it is fake?


to put it bluntly, its just too stupid to be real, i dont think anyone has the capacity to fail to realize the importance of oil

[EricC]

I'm not saying the car doesn't need oil at all ever, but I don't believe that I just can't drive it even a couple blocks without it without destroying my car. I still had coolant, it wasn't that hot a day, I don't see why my engine would melt.

Got more to do with friction than melting although with a lot of friction the heat can/will build up very fast which cause expansion and so there will be even more friction. And when u have enough friction it will rip itself apart till there is no friction anymore ,but you might have guessed that something like that ain't a good way to get rid of it :)

[solid snake295]

:rofl: LOL good thread!
your engine didnt melt, it probably just seized up. the oil is in there to keep things cool and lubricate to keep things moving smoothly. when metal gets hot, it expands, the oil keeps the pistons cool (well, cooler then they would be with no oil :P ) so they dont expand. your pistons got hot, expanded and pretty much got stuck in the cylinder.... let me use this picture as an example...

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/how-winnie-the-pooh-works-6.jpg

lets just say, winnie the pooh is your piston, and the rabbit hole is your cylinder. your piston ate too much honey and is now too fat to move... he could probably get out of there if he was slathered in oil and wasnt such a fatass. needless to say, you will need a donkey, a kangaroo and a small boy with a drum to fix your engine.

[NastyDawg]

ROFL at ^^

Awesome post.

[FUS1ON]

LOL I love that analogy ..... heya Snake, long time no see

[Asian Invasian]

haha, your awesome snake, good post :)

[BobtheCkroach]

OMG Snake! ROFL :rofl:

Talk about making an appearance! :P

[EXEcution]

:rofl: Snake is the man!

[Pure_Evil]

lies

[Nick]

so Eric !!

How does the story end ??????

if you have a water cooled system in your PC ... dont drain it and play a few games of Sam to extract the last drops :P

[HAMMER]

If this is not true, it's not that funny of a joke.

If this is true, you should give up the computer, move to the mountains and never EVER talk to anybody again, or reproduce.

Seriously.

[PuRe AnGeL]

and the moral of the story is never give your car to an complete idiot :o ;)
