… What happens when my car runs out of oil. The engine oil is what makes the engine parts inside move against each other and keep cool. . Without the oil the metal parts would grind on each other causing the metal to break down. When you run out of oil the engine starts to grind and will stop moving or seize up. It is very important to get your vehicle’s oil changed every 3 to 6 months or how often you drive your car. If the oil light comes on please stop right away and have someone look at the oil level. The cost of regular oil changes outweighs the cost of an engine or new vehicle. #ryansservicenter, #oilchange, #carnoise,
