Default Re: cleaning out pieces of oil

Things that help make sludge. Cold weather, running the engine to cold, non detergent oil, not changing oil often enough, short trips where the engine does not get warm enough to evaporate the water in the oil.

In real cold weather frost gets on the inside of the engine. When you start it it turns to water and gets in the oil. If you make short trips it never gets hot long enough to get out of the oil. Just keeps adding to the oil.
