How can you get an engine so full of sludge in only a few years?
 

Tore this bad boy down yesterday, I don't think I've ever seen so much sludge in an engine. How you can accumulate so much oil sludge in your engine when the earliest you could have bought it was only a few years ago?

Obviously not changing your oil, but good GOD when you purchase a sports car like this you might just want to take care of it a little better.

ummm, please tell me that is not a 370Z oil reservoir....

It sure is surprising what some people will do, or not do to something other really appreciate. Maybe a swift kick to the throat, that may get some sence moving in there.
lol

Yup, pulled the pan off a VQ37 to find this mess. To the left of the oil pickup tube you can see where I slid my finger through the sludge, it's caked super thick on everything.

Same VQ37VHR motor but this one was out of a G37 :eekdance:

Were they using Nissan's special voodoo ester oil? :stirthepot:

Hooker spit methinks

Not to sound sexist, but was the driver a chick?

And maybe because this was from a G37.... maybe before Nissan changed the oil spec (?)

Any info on the motor? Miles on engine? Use? Problems? Oil consumption?
That's a mess...

was it a lease?

Don't have any info on the engine, but I'm thinkin you may be right. That's the only way I could see this happening.
