My 1995 Toyota Avalon has 93493 miles on it and approximately 1500 miles on its Castro GTX 5w-30 motor oil and Purolator PureONE oil filter. I purchased a bottle of Auto-RX last December and I was going to put ten ounces of it in the engine today. I had a plastic cup with lines drawn on it to indicate four and six ounces, so that I could pour exactly ten into the engine. I poured four ounces into the cup; then I went outside, I opened the hood, I opened the oil cap and I discovered engine sludge had accumulated since the last oil change such that it had filled the oil opening all the way to the oil cap. None was visible on the bottom of the cap, but judging from the height and shape of the sludge, the sludge is touching it when it is in place. I called my uncle for help, as he is the car person in the family (he was a car enthusiast when he was younger), but he is not home. I imagine that the most prudent thing to do is to scoop the sludge out of the opening, do an oil and oil filter change, run the Auto-RX treatment that I wanted to do and then hope that everything is okay. Is this a wise idea and do I have any other options?
