Default sludge build up
I read a few days back that when looking at es300's to check for sludge build up in the head I think.. I was just curious as to what problems would be caused if there was sludge build up?

When the oil detergents are depleted.....

the detergents cannot suspend the sludge particles (to later get filtered out), then sludge particles basically buildup.

If the owner did NOT keep his/HER oil changed... This is the #1 reason for the build up in the ES especially the 96 ' or 97' and up cars...
