Greetings,
I am considering a new Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. Are the current engines known oil grinders? I know some of the older Camry engines were prone to sludging.
Thanks,

The 1.8 liter that was available again in the Celica starting in 2000 is not the same engine that was available in 1997, the current 1.8 liter is not listed as a sludger unless there is an updated list of Toyota sludgers.
