They filled a Fiat Punto's engine with WD40 as the engine oil and drove for 50km ( 30 miles ) without anything strange happening.

Then they re-fill it with the oil the car already had and surprise surprise, the engine runs perfectly well!
 
It's a good thing they filled it - that stuff evaporates away pretty fast!

How much was left to drain out when done?

Every week they do something stupid and use another liquid as motor oil Who cares??

Not sure they should! Hope you're kidding.
Something I'd like to see, and maybe for the Saturn/Toyota "drain-holes" people, is to put nothing but MMO in the sump and see what survives. Did "mastermilo" do that yet?
 
I had a Saturn that ate a quart of oil every 700 miles. Car ran perfect otherwise. I just kept it topped up with the cheapest oil I could find.
