Next in thread: Wil Andrews: "Re: Oil Changes"
I find the continuing discussion of oil very interesting. However, I
haven't seen anything on the formation or prevention of sludge. I assume
there is a detergent in modern oils that prevents this, but what happens
when the oil is not changed for extended periods? A few years ago a friend
had engine problems with a relatively new car. The dealer dropped the pan
and said the engine was packed with sludge caused by her failing to change
the oil and filters regularly. Is there any risk of this occurring with
bypass filters and regular analysis?
