Oil mysteriously disappeared.

Here's a video for those that doubted an engine could run for a good while with no oil.
This one DROVE for 40 miles with no oil, not just sitting and idling. Engines are tough. I've seen them go farther than that.

I don't recall anyone saying it couldn't go any distance. What we said or at least I said was that without oil the engine bearings are damaged almost immediately. The longer you run it the worse it gets. Did you see those crank journals? That engine in the video is done. It may well run for a while and getting destroyed from the first minute it started...
