Some of you guys might know my problem...atleast the major one,
my engine ran out of oil and started making this noise,






ever since that day, i drove my car to my autotech class and its just been sitting there, and waiting on a new engine...



NOW, my dads 01 Audi A6TT is leaking oil and makes the same noise[ when its low/nearly empty on oil
we add 3-4 quarts and the noise stops...

(dont worry about that car its going to the shop soon)

my question is,


if i do another oil change, and maybe add some 'lucus' (or oil thickener?) will be car be normal again?
Or atleast safe to drive?

lol nooooooo buddddyyyy that engine need a new rod or rod bearing if u drive it u will blow up your engine lol trusssttttttt mee i knoooo ivee did that to 3 of my engines haha i tried driving all of them wen i look in my review all i see is car parts laying on the road behind me haha............. dont buy another engine just fix that one all u need is a new rod and piston

No no, if a bearing was spun, there are more than likely scouring marks on the crank shaft. Crank will either need replaced, or machined. Quite honestly, as cheap as a used engine is, just put a new motor in. You're going to have more money wrapped up in machining costs than what a used engine would cost you.
