Hello,
I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant ES 3.0 that has 115k miles on it. It uses very little oil, but does have some sludge build up in the engine (at least when I look through the oil cap reservoir). I acquired this vehicle used about four years ago and have done my best to do OCI from 3000 to 5000 miles.
Lately, through the winter, I was experiencing some cold start issues. Engine knocking (Idaho Winter) I had been using SuperTech 5w30, with a SuperTech filter. After much studying on different sites including this I decided to change oil and filters.
Recently I purchased a PureOne filter and am looking at either Pennzoil HM 10W30 or Castrol 10W30.
Any recommendation would be very appreciated.
