Did my first oil change and tire rotation on my '11 F150. I don't usually do my own work like that. I decided today I would take pride and do it myself. Aside from the mess I made its a fairly easy truck to work on. I'll post again if my tires fall off or my engine ceases.

 

If your engine ceases to run it could be because it seized up or ceased receiving fuel, air, or spark.

 

It can also lock due to lack of oil

 

Just a play on the OP's interesting use of cease when seize seemed more likely. Sure, lack of oil could lead to a seized engine (which would cease to run). Could be a hydrostatic lock as well.
