Totally agree oils cheap compared to an engine
kilometers? really?
let me go translate that real quick, vato
7000 kilometers is 4350 miles, VATO
KM??? WTF? are you European? This is America use MILES
I change my oil when the engine starts making queef noises.
Of course Honda says 28k soyou have to buy a new one after it blows up after 10k
Do you believe in oil flush additives before doing an oil change? Are they another snake oil. Would they really remove sludge and wouldn't the flush remain in the new oil and thin it
I had the valve cover off my 2006 Civic LX last year at 240,000 km to adjust the values. It was pristine. Perfectly clean, not a spec of sludge. I've owned the car since new. It has never missed an oil change. That Honda maintenance minder, of that generation Civic, signals the end of oil life at 6-8000Km. The car used conventional oil most of its life, only in the last two years did I switch it to synthetic. I've had an oil analysis done at the last change and there were no problems. The engine is now at 260000 Km and runs perfectly. I'll be cautious buying a new generating Honda after seeing this (I'll be peeking through the oil fill cap).
Quick thought. Own an older car and along the lines of preventive maintenance, how about a crank case treatment such as seafoam. What's your take on it? Would it remove/clean up the sort of sludge you just showed, or at least remove some of it? BTW, never miss an oil change and go no more than 5500-7500KM's per change with a synthetic blend (mid grade oil). I've getting close to 300,000 miles on it and never so much as had any engine oil leak. Oh, And its for an 04 camry gasoline engine.
