I wasn't judging you, I was genuinely curious as to what you did. Did you use any engine additives or suggest a flush of some sort?
I wouldn't flush that engine. We were concerned that the oil/filter change might, in fact, cause sludge
to restrict oil flow/block sump screen. A flush would probably increase that risk.
We don't use/do flushes of any kind.
Had I known of the extent of the sludge prior to our draining the oil I probably would
have asked him to go elsewhere.
At that point I was "the last one to touch it". I had to do, at minimum, what the driver asked me to do.
Hence the pics to document in the event the engine had issues after the service.
