Can engine be unlocked?

Asked by Guru2P4N9 Mar 02, 2020 at 04:52 PM about the 1999 Ford Taurus SE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1999 Taurus. It has possibly ran out of oil and
engine locked. I think that's what the problem is. If oil is
put in will engine turn over?

If in fact the oil was low enough for the engine to seize, I wouldn't think it would start, but adding some oil can't hurt to try to get it running.

Odds are the engine is ruined. It would take a full rebuild to correct this problem.
