sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Donating Members 5,919 Member For: 15y 1m 22d Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 26/04/13 11:22 PM Share Posted 26/04/13 11:22 PM once there is sludge in the motor it's there for ever or until stripped down and hot tanked. Oil flush will help keep the oil galleries from getting worse but it will not remove any solid sludgeSludge can be cleaned with the right oil additives, no chance to get rid of varnish though without some harsh stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might stick with it year round though, as she don't get driven hard for as long anymore - just a quick stabby stabby now and then. The Amsoil has a high zinc content and a high TBN and it feels really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got back home now and on the paperwork noticed it says they put 10w30 in it!! Prob not gonna hurt it as we are coming into the colder months but just annoyed. First and last time its been there and Im never taking it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenspace64 New Member 16 Member For: 11y 10m 5d Posted 09/05/13 12:02 PM Share Posted 09/05/13 12:02 PM Your kidding! Yep fg mk2. Been reading this forum and was convinced it was 15w40. You just saved me an embarrassing phone call. Might sound stupid but you wouldn't by any chance know why they decided to change the grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
