* Lubrication: Motor oil acts as a lubricant for all the moving parts in your engine. Without it, these parts would grind against each other, generating immense heat and friction. This would cause rapid wear and tear, leading to catastrophic engine failure.
* Cooling: Motor oil helps to cool the engine by absorbing heat generated during combustion. Without it, the engine would overheat very quickly.
* Cleaning: Motor oil carries away debris and contaminants that build up inside the engine, preventing them from clogging vital components.
* Protection: Motor oil forms a protective film on metal surfaces, reducing wear and tear.
Driving without motor oil is essentially guaranteed to destroy your engine. It's never a good idea to try it.
