Re: Re: Sludged VG30/Oil Pump

Remember that oil contains many detergents to clean your engine internals. This could possibly be why it takes 2K miles. After the fresh dose of oil the detergents clean it up enough to stop the...

Re: Sludged VG30/Oil Pump

You might try using some GUNK engine cleaner additive or similar product. This is added before you do your oil change and gets rid of that type of build up. Just follow the directions. My dad was...

Re: Transmission Fluid

My Max is a 5-speed but I use Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF in the little lady's Altima auto. Drain and refill every 20K miles. It is compatible with standard fluids so it's OK to mix with what's in there...
