I hate to say that I let my old XR3i run out of oil once and drove to Cardiff and back, which for me is about 500 miles, and it didn't miss a beat! I filled it up when I got home and it was fine for as long as I had it!

Both test vehicles were rented to assure the AAM no special engine modifications were made
pisser, whos up for a passionford 'no oil' run then? we'll hire a car each from a car hire place, drain the oil and see who gets the furthest whoever wins gets to keep all the oil drained from the cars
