Think YOU have sludge problems???

[bkrell]

Wow, this is incredible!!!!!! http://www.renault4.co.uk/tech-oil-change.htm

wow thats bad

"Why frequent oil changes are a very good idea. The oil in this engine had not been changed in several years, which resulted in serious wear and ultimately a scrap engine."

Seen worse...much worse

Lightweight sludge . You should have seen engines in the days of non-detergent oils! I had an old Dodge truck with a flathead and pulled the side covers off to adjust the valves. The entire cavity was packed!

 

[Wasatch]

WOW what a mess.

Drain it and go! I like the site - I want a Renault (F1 that is!)

Did ya'll notice in the "good" picture of the stuffed frog?? LOL!

 

[Eiron]

Bryanccfshr, If you like that frog, take a look at the "change the oil" link on that same page:

Ah, British humor. Well, for an old Renault V4, that engine is pretty nice. We need to send a few cases of Chemtool and Auto Rx across the pond methinks.

 

[vwoom]

Yeah, lightweight. However, I'd like to see sludge pics though of oil turn into..mud. Nice Kermit..

 

[Bryanccfshr]

It is not the first example of such humor I have encountered. Pikachu & Barbie repair hi-lift & Sometimes things get carried away.

A dab of Auto RX should clear that right up..... Of course, you'd then have to use a spaghetti colander as an "oil" filter.......

 

[Pablo]

that there.....just seems wrong

 

[PandaBear]

The look like new engine below the sludger is not that nice either, but at least it is working.

I agree about the example of an engine well cared for.... Lots of varnish. Don't know why they give it as an example of an engine that got good care. I guess it is all relative?
