Carboned up sludged engines. What casues them ?


Another carboned up 1gr engine. I get asked nearly twice a week. From clients sometimes, but mainly via phone calls from people looking for information. The question always is “ my car uses oil , what could it be ? Is this bad ? “ Well the answer is in the second photo. The oil control ring bottom one is full of carbon. This is why most cars burn oil. But the cause of this is very simple. 1. Not servicing your car regular enough. ( 7500kms or 6 months )for our sunny coast climates. 2. Using inferior oils. ( yup the cheap shit ). 3. Cheap fuel ⛽️ yes it’s true. 98+ octane is the best. A really good service centre will always run an oil system flush through your engine before your service also. This helps stop what has happened in the attached photos. Moral of the story : car service is important and does cost money for a good quality oil and knowledge. The cheapest quote may not be the best when looking for a service center to service your vehicle. As long term is could cost you a lot more . Perhaps an engine.
