Dodge 2.7L - high sludge engine, driven few miles
Permalink  
 


I have a question about which regimen to follow. I have a 1999 intrepid with the infamous 2.7L engine. I'm pretty positive the engine is well into it's "choked with sludge, will lock up at any time" phase, but I also only drive it 2,000 to 3,000 miles a year, usually under 3 miles per trip.

Should I follow the high sludge dosage of 2oz per quart, or the low-use dosage of 3oz per quart? Should I do clean, rinse, clean, rinse or is the proper cycle clean, clean, rinse? Will it clean it out even quicker if I just ignore the directions completely and dump in 6oz per quart? (half joking on the last one)

Thanks in advance for your answers.

rpickup,


Stay with the sludge and heavy sludge application Auto-Rx is a slow process and just make sure you keep the filter changed. Thank you for purchasing ARX.


B. Sludge application first change your motor oil and filter. Add 2 ounces of Auto-Rx® for each quart of oil your engine holds.

I would suggest every now and again that you drive the car for a half hour or so. Your short trips probably contribute to your sludged condition. I would also change out your PCV valve on a regular basis.

I would also advise since you only take a 3 mile trip that your car is not getting hot enough to burn off condensation and any contaniments.

It might be a good idea to take this car out for a long drive whenever you can.
