I own a 2005 Navigator and the dealership told me that I probably need
a new motor because my oil was low and did some damage. Unfortunately
for me, the oil light never lit. When does the oil light occur in the
Navigators?

when engine oil pressure is low!

look to see if the oil is low. If it was low and did not trigger the light,
it would seem very unlikely it damaged your engine in that way.

Find an independent mechanic to confer or deny that diagnosis.

"Probably" need a new engine, because of "some" damage"? They'd better
be a little more specific. Are you experiencing any symptoms? Funny
engine noises, etc.?

If the oil never gets low enough for the pick-up to suck air, instead of
oil, then you probably don't have damage that would warrant a new
engine. And, if the pick-up never sucked air, your oil pressure
probably never dropped enough to light the idiot light.

Without any engine-damage symptoms, you surely don't need a new engine.
