Tommo 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 ..KING HELL.Got round to checking the oil on the VR6 I picked up late on Sunday lastnight (in the dark) and there was absoultely none in there, not a drop, the dipstick was clean as a whislte &| All topped up now, do you reckon it would have done anything bad??? Please say "no".Tom Link to post Share on other sites
Tommo 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 PS - I know I'm stupid for not checking it the minute I got home. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 id be tempted to get a full oil and filter change mate, hope you didnt thrash it at all. moving parts + no oil = wear.... Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 You may have been lucky mate and got away with it?Might not have been as low as you think if the engine had been running, it could all still be at the top of the lump.But get filter and oil change ASAP!

Tommo 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Cheers fellas, I will get the oil changed tomorrow, the car had just been moved off a hill so I could check the oil so hopefully that was the case.Thanks again,Tom Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 even when there is no oil on the dipstick i believe there is still around 2 litres left in the oil pan, as i ran my f**Ker dry once, and came to change the oil, once drained it more than filled a big coke bottle and more. lol[ Edited Thu Oct 21 2004, 06:42PM ] Link to post Share on other sites

TopsVR6 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 You should be fine,no oil warning light is a good sign. There is a good reserve of oil from bottom of dipstick to sump bottom. Happened to me once s**t myself but it only took a small amount of oil to register on dipstick. Oil and filter change will reveal any metal debris but u should be ok. Good Luck!!
