Not good... :(

Hi All,

It just amazes me how many people don't change their oil in a timely manner. Let alone do a once a week. 5 minute fluid level check...

Here we have a Saab that has traveled 22,600 miles on the same oil and filter! (122,000-104,400+5000) Not good for longevity.

Sounds like my sister...

Those Saab 4-cylinder engines turn into sludge pumps if you don't change the oil in em.

Some people really just shouldn't own cars...

+1 Justin...

They turn into sludge pumps just like the Audi/VW 1.8T's as well.

If this engine could talk.... Huh?

Add the Toyota 1MZ-FE V6 to that.

If they could talk it would probably reach out and just smack the owner in the face instead.

If it was an older Hilux, you could put sand in the oil and it wouldn't make any difference.

We can also add the Chrysler/Dodge 2.7L to the "oil sludge" list too...

How could we forget about that one?
