No sludge yet (i should say how do i know if i have it?).



The only true way to know if u have sludge is to take off both valve covers (if ur a v6).

Should engine flush be used right before draining oil? And what about high mileage oils instead of synthetic? I have 151k on mine.

There's high mileage full synthetic oils. I think peeps here recommend Mobil 1, but I think I'll be alright with what I got. :wink:
