johndoh – Member I heard a story once about someone at a fuel station trying to fill their car up with oil then, after some time of fiddling, someone came out to help them as they were clearly struggling.Turns out that person was trying to carefully pour the oil into the dipstick hole.
My other half did this. Apparently she isnt a moron and can fill a car with oil. Hmmm.
As for the op me and a mate a few years back decided to run a scrapper with no oil just to see the results. Mondeo 1.8 zetec. Oil drained from sump. Filter removed. 5 mins at idle. The 10 mins ragging about the yard before it seized.
I see no issue with just turning it over with fresh oil in now
