Default Are you experiencing sludge symptoms? I doubt they'd do anything w/o symptoms.

What makes you think you have a sludge problem?

Also could someone explain to me what the symptoms would be of a sludge problem.
thanks

Default Yes, a low oil pressure warning while driving. This is a different warning light ...

Default The one single reason I bother to go to the dealer for oil changes.

is for proof.
An adviser told me 3rd party receipts work but try that when you're trying to get a new engine at 7.8 years and a gazillion miles.
