Porsche Cayenne and BMW X5: which engine will last longer without oil?

Everyone knows that engine oil provides friction protection to engine parts. That is why engines can serve 250000 km or more. And more recently, units were in use that could work out a million kilometers. But what if the internal combustion engine is deprived of lubrication? How much will the motor resource decrease? Matt Manson decided to answer these questions. A video about unusual tests has appeared on the “carwow Russian version” channel.

After a serious off-road "battle" that Mat and company arranged, a couple of top-end SUVs were in such a deplorable state that it became pointless to restore them. And the autoblogger did not come up with anything better than to arrange the last battle for the owners of the most powerful V8 engines with volumes from 4,4 liters. Motor oil was drained from Porsche and BMW engines and ... started.

As you know, an oil film forms on the surfaces of parts. Even with drained oil, it protects engine parts for some time. But it doesn't last long. When the internal combustion engine runs without oil, accelerated wear begins very soon. Which of the top SUVs will pass first? To find out what the naturally aspirated Cayenne and X5 units are really capable of, be sure to watch this video to the end!
