Wasn't doing great before. I've moved so many times and my last place didn't have much direct sunlight.
Long story short. I left him in the sun on my new balcony. Is he cooked?
The really light shoots a warm to the touch and droopy...
TLDR: I accidentally ran my 2000 Toyota 4Runner for approximately three minutes (worst-case estimate) without an oil filter. I assume that means the engine had no oil pressure during that time. What are some things I should be looking out for going forward to avoid something catastrophic (blowing up a crank bearing and throwing a rod, shit idk)?
I got the wrong oil filter (kn 1002 instead of kn 1004). It threaded on fine at the time. I drove to work and back (80 miles, 2 hrs) and parked it for the night. Next morning I started the car and left. Just after pulling out of the drive way, I heard a thunk. 1 mile from home, the oil light comes on and I pull over. The oil filter was completely gone (I eventually found it lodged in the skid plate). I install a new filter/oil and everything seems fine. The threads also looked fine.
I went back and found a quarter mile trail of oil on the road. It ran for 3 minutes, ~2.5 minutes without the oil filter.
Do you know when you're about to blow a bearing? I'm assuming this event took a good chunk out of the engines lifespan.
Thanks.
