Oil is the blood of your car. If you cut a vein in your arm, you aren't going to be 100% are you?
i get what your saying,can it still be damaged when the oil is full?also if it is damaged what kind of damage am i looking at?
Oil level isnt gonna matter if there's sod all oil pressure to pump the oil round the engine.
Damage = replacement lump time.

Rusty old Rover s**te
Body & trim parts are difficult to get hold of even 2nd hand, they didnt come of to well in Euroncap carsh tests either
A manufacturer is really scraping the barrel when they do an Atomic Kitten special edition
Look for an MG Atomix if you really must as these have extra kit over standard but there all pretty poorly speced anyway.

my frd's 306HDi engine went busted because his parent keep toping up half a litre of oil every month
although the engine was fixed under dealer waranty

Or even think of it as a heart pumping the blood around. No heart pumping, no blood circulating.
