Is it possible to run with out oil?
Inspection can only confirm damage. Inspection can not rule out damage. First, as far as running with out oil has way to many variables to come up with a definitive answer.

Can a low oil level cause a car to shut off?

Can a car still run after an oil change?
In a word: YES. It affects the longevity of the engine. It will run for a short while with out too much adverse affect as there is still oil lingering on the surfaces (you cannot get it all out during an oil change), but as soon as the heat starts building, things will deteriorate quickly. – Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 ♦ Aug 23 ’16 at 14:51

How to prevent damage to my engine that ran without oil?
The new oil will run through the engine and properly lubricate all the parts if you have to drive your car again. You shouldn’t drive the car until it is inspected, though, since you likely caused extensive damage already. Tow your car to the nearest mechanic.
What happens if you drive without oil in your car?
Never drive without oil in your engine again. This sounds obvious, but if you drove your car without oil you undoubtedly ignored several signals from your engine that something was very wrong. First, the engine will give off a grinding sound.
What happens if you don’t change your oil?
If not, the original O-ring will blow-out and break the seal upon starting the engine, then cause a leak/the engine to stall. Or, it could happen five-ten miles driving down the road, which is much more dangerous. This is another common mistake that can happen if you aren’t paying attention.
