Do you guys think sludge will form despite the amount of new oil going into the engine? Wouldn't additives in the new oil prevent this sludge from forming?


Yes, sludge or deposits will form in your oil simply because of excessive blowby due to stuck/coked oil control rings. If oil can seep right through all the rings to get into your combustion chamber area (and oil gets burned as a result), gasoline washoffs along the cylinder wall, as well as other gas during different stages of the reciprocation will definitely seep past all the rings and gets mixed with you oil, accelerating the deterioration of your motor oil.

I must be mega poor I have a 350000 mile beater...... but I'm not a super cool new car harley guy. I also am not scared to do maintenance on my vehicles to prevent breakdown. Some people though are not mechanically inclined enough to keep a vehicle for extended periods....to each his own. oh by the way the only reason I have my beater... I drive 50 miles a day and she gets 40mpg, oh yeah I like driving her also.

+1 Dupree! Love my 40+ mpg Saturn beater. Paid off, liability only insurance is nice and cheap, and I can fix most things on her. Gotta love beaters.

Oh, and I don't care where I park it.
