lol.. not to bring back an older toppic but i actually worked on a car like this only it was way way worse...
car came in with a rod knock drianed oil, or should i say removed the drain plug but nothing came out..???
when we removed the engine and took off the oil pan we found out why.. the oil IN the pan looked like someone baked brownies, one solid chunk of sludge it wouldent move let alone pour. it was so thick that with the oil pan removed the oil pickup-tube was completly encased in a block of sludge...
the customer just kinda said he forgot to change the oil, we didnt really know how long it had been.
