This kind of thinking just irritates me so much. I said to myself that I was not going to post a message, but I just have to. This sounds like my Father-in-law who used to drain the oil out of his car and put it in the tractor, because he said it was still good enough for the tractor. He always wondered why he had so much trouble with his tractors. I had a freind who had this same philosophy of not changing his oil in this car. At about 75,000 miles his hydraulic valve lifters stopped working. I helped him fix them and when we took the intake manifold off the V-8 engine we couldn't even find the lifters for the sludge. To quote my Dad, oil and grease is cheaper than metal. I also see there are a lot of theories out there for cleaning a sludge filled engine. If you add any detergent oil it will start cleaning the engine and can be bad as some have said. One thing I remember we did when detergent oil first came out and we had used nondetergent oil in our Oldsmobile engine, and that was start adding one quart of detergent oil with nondetergent and gradually work up to all detergent oil, changing the oil often.
