i think what he was saying is theortically, an engine can run without oil. The only three things needed to run it are air/fuel mixture, spark and compression.

Cars dont need oil to run, just make sure to keep the revs up!

There is a video of this - I'll see if I can find it. If I recall, the car in the video is a blue Civic - fully drained of oil, car runs fine. Next, they proceed to pour water in the valve cover and the damn things still runs!

running a motor without oil is like masturbating without lotion, after while friction heats things up and it starts to burn LMAO

no but seriously metal on metal moving at that rate even at idle with no lubercation is gonna cause serviere damage
