That's kind of what I was thinking. Plus, my wife normally drives this Jeep. I tend to baby a vehicle til it gets warmed up, but my wife is, umm, not so careful.

My last UOA showed about the same AL, and Fe in the 80's

What is your obsession with the engine being sludged? Again, it's not, and I'm sure not going to be running a solvent flush through it (or any of my other vehicles).
