    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

For a test, add Engine oil again in both car and let's see which one will start, just curious. Cheers!

    I dont think the Lexus died that quickly as much as Matt is biased. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    In all fairness the Lexus was pinned in overrev, while the BMW was blipping on redline, heck it backed down to 3.5k revs at one point while the Lexus was just pinned.

    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!

      Must've been an older Toyota 4cyl. I've personally seen heaps of 90s Corollas that have been running on

    I love the videos you make but instead of destroying these cars you could have donated them to someone in need. I still love your videos

    If I were to choose one to drive across the country, I’m still choosing the Lexus. Far less of a chance you’ll have a catastrophic failure in the LS430 driving in NORMAL conditions, than the 7-series.

      Exactly the same... V8 both, OHC both. But I think the Lexus is really ate a piston.
