QUOTE(low yat 82 @ Dec 16 2011, 08:52 AM) oo....in dat sense ,i guess it wont harm anythin if i use thinner oil... will d burnt oil bcome like 'sludge'? u noe. like burnt oil.. leave bhind some black marks...lol. If the oil get through to the combustion chamber it will be burnt off, meaning gone. That is why your oil gets less....   Sludge is formed when oil is used too long and not changed.....  |
