Someone probably put sugar in your gas tank.
Sarsaparilla syrup would best mask the taste of an oily substance.
There are many. Syrup and glycerol would be examples.
No, corn syrup, molasses, or pancake syrup would not make good lubricants for a car engine. These substances are too thick and sticky, which could lead to clogs and insufficient lubrication. Engine oils are specifically formulated to withstand high temperatures and pressures, providing the necessary protection for engine components. Using syrup could cause serious engine damage and performance issues.
Yes, i would imagine so. Sugar in a gas tank will permanently destroy your engine, so i think Chocolate syrup would too.
No, corn malt is a completely different substance from corn syrup and cannot be substituted.
yes it would work depending on how badly the sludge has built up. i would recommened you do the fulsh and then change your oil every 1500 to 2000 miles or 2 months which ever comes first. Keep doing that until the oil is clear after you add oil.
Yes! After only 87,000km and at least 12 oil changes my engine quit on me. I had the car towed to the local GM dealer, only to find out a few days later that the engine had sludge in both the upper and lower engine. I was also advised that GM would not warranty the engine because of the sludge. I bought this car thinking it would be much better than the usual GM product, because of the Toyota engine...but was I wrong! I am presently compliling several complaints from Toyota and Pontiac owners about this problem. It seems that Toyota have have had engine design flaws that contributed to the sludge problem (engine running to hot, oil filter positionning, etc..). I have most of my maintenance records and still GM does not want to cover the motor on warranty. If you have any other information about this problem, could you forward the info? -------- I had the valve cover off mine at 100K miles, definitely no sludge problem in there. Also, among the Vibers at forums.genvibe.com, there have not been any reported sludge problems
I am a ASE certified master technician with 30 years of professional auto repair experience. The first thing I would suggest regarding noisy lifters is to make sure the engine oil pressure is to spec, this can only be done with a oil pressure gauge screwed into the oil pressure sending unit passage. If the oil pressure is to spec hot and cold then it may be caused by sludge build up, if it is sludge there are some tricks of the trade to clean sludge but you would have to determine the extent of sludge build up before treating the problem, a engine flush could be dangerous to the life of the engine if the sludge is extreme as all of that sludge will end up in the pan and may plug the oil pick up screen causing loss of oil pressure, removing a valve cover is one way to determine if sludge is the issue.
Solvent= Water Solutes: Instant coffee powder, Sugar
It would take a long time before the oil would sludge up to the point of not allowing the engine to turn over.
The basic answer is yes. Old oil loses its lubrication qualities over time, breaks down due to heat, and collects minute metal shavings from engine wear which turns it into sludge more than oil. This sludge can hinder the proper operation of your valves, hastens wear on metal to metal surfaces, and can get into the places in the engine that oil shouldn't be. Is this sludge dirt? It sure isn't what the engine manufacturer would recommend using in your engine. Change your oil every 3000 miles or 6 months whichever comes first.
If you are in the 80-100K mile range then you are in the prime area for an engine seizing. While a great car these 2.7L engine have a problem with sludge buildup that leads to the engine not getting oil where it should and that is the end of that.
