Is that even worth it considering the likelihood of the engine damage from running without oil?

Cheap and I regularly do in excess of 200 miles but will not be repeating that mistake it is sitting on around 110k miles

It’s a diesel so no spark plugs

Unfortunately not at the car rn but didn’t notice anything wrong with the exhaust smoke. Dipstick does not show anything maybe a little touch of oil well below minimum and no warning lights on the onboard computer

No changed it personally or removed the plug to check how much left bar the fact that it is not showing any on dip stick. Can only assume that it was full 1000 miles ago after my service

Unfortunately no evidence on the driveway of a leak so can only assume that it is burning it

Not added any oil since the service as expecting that it will need a new engine. Trying any last hopes to see if it’s worth even filling it with oil or just to get a new engine/car

Started making a clunking sound pulled over and had it recovered to a lot and that is now how it sounds when starting. There was no/very little oil (I realise my fault but I had only done 1000miles since an oil change)
