The heater in your car uses waste heat generated by the engine. The hot coolant from the engine flows through the heater core causing it yo get hot. A fan then blows air over the hot heater core into the vehicle.

What is more important for a car gas or oil?

Oil -- -- -- They are both essential fluids. Without gas, the car will not work. Without oil, the car will not work. However, if you run out of gas, the car can still operate as normal once you add more, while if your car's oil leaks out, or burns away, there is a greater risk of permanent mechanical failure (locking the pistons). So I would say that it's more important to maintain the oil levels in your car than it is to maintain the gas levels in your car.
