The fasination with sludged up engines bewilders me.

Shameful to do that to an engine.

how even does it get that bad. my wife (before she was my wife and all that) drove her jeep 4.0 for over 100k just adding oil when it sounded like it needed some, according to her that is. first time i checked the stick it was bone dry ! added 4.5 liters that day and its been getting regularly changed ever since. not to mention its mostly clean inside too !

I change my oil every 5000 miles, and I changed the oil today at 5300 miles!

Hey @joekingcorvette my son goes to Dakota State. It's beautiful out there!

Sad, but its pretty common.
Every shop and dealership has seen it.
And, the cause is almost always the same thing.

Thanks Zaedock. I went to Boston about 3 years ago and it's a great state too. My wife and I rented a car and stayed a week in that area as well as Acadia National Park in Maine. We spent a week there and flew out of Boston. You live in a great area too!

Yeah, I also wondered. Like your wife's Jeep, my 2002 Explorer hasn't seen an oil change since 100K - but it looks nothing like that.

Pennzoil. And other paraffin wax oils...

No, not Pennzoil.... just the owner
Its never caused by the oil

I use to go in auto salvage yards years ago and sludged engines were common. That neglected Engine is nothing unique. In fact, if I played the lottery, which I don’t and happened to win a huge sum of money, I’d have a test fleet: how long can a Saleen Mustang last on 0W16 and 7500 OCI’s, a Cummins Ram hot shot truck on 5W30 Valvoline white bottle….

I don't know, but I know that an V6 Explorer can go over 100000 without ever changing oil (just topping) or filter.
