This is why Oil Changes are Important!
« on: 08 September 2010, 19:12:45 »
I don't know if you can see the state of the oil from the pictures but it is like Treacle, staying stuck to the insides instead of dripping out :o



Oil pick up pipe getting clogged....


Big End Bearings like tissue paper :o :o

Is it the 2.6 you mentioned Daz?
At a guess, you would think it had done circa 120,000 miles on a fairly poor service schedule. How many miles has it actually done? When my sump came off, it actually looked lovely and clean compared to that...I was rather suprised. After 500 miles or so the oil is just starting to turn dark in mine, so I'll change it. I wonder how long the oil had been in this poor 2.6?
